Pro Tip:
No amount of multi take recording features will fix it when you're flat/sharp on *all* of the takes.

There's something wrong in the world today
I just can't believe it
I just can't believe it
It's the…
Given the spirited twitter reaction to the question of whether SisterSavage should buy pitch correction software, I submit this. The pre-melodyne version of "spilt milk".
It also retains my so-called "MST3K" vocals, which were removed in the…
lullaby featuring piano (but of course!)
Notes:
Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.

"Farmer's Blow" is redneck rap. Oh yeah, I went there.

If you're on the run
And your nose has gotta go
Don't grab a tissue
Do the farmer's blow
Just tilt your head
To the side
Then block one nostril
And let it ride
You may think
That…
I excel at disappearing for long stretches, eh?
I think with this I'm officially committing to doing FAWM.
And R.I.P. my songwriting drought. August 27th, 2009 - February 1st, 2010.
You know those people who like to break out the family photos or something of that sort with which to bore their guests? This is my version of that.
Most of what makes this song special to me is for all the same reasons that you won't share…
Let us celebrate our failures and our successes!
I submit my failure here for consideration.
I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…

Oh yeah. The silly a cappellas are back.
Ideas they are like water
Just floating all along
But you really can't hold on
Ideas they are elusive
You can chase 'em everyday
In the end they get away
So get that old idea
And dust it off
It don't…
Oh, I had such big plans for this song. Acoustic guitar, tin whistle, maybe go and drag the bagpipes out of storage (cough, or as the case really would be: fire up Logic, so I can use an external plugin).
I went to storm spotters training instead…
I hate those dreams. I have them too: The naked math class; foot stuck in the train tracks; the sudden discovery of a test that I haven't studied for.
Ah, but also the great dreams - flying, etc.
Great train sample!
Funny how it's generally the songs that I spend the most time on, where I hardly write any story.
So I'll just briefly say this is the [songfight.org](http://songfight.org) song that I hadn't even intended to write.
yelyah - “solo piano 20100411” semi live improv
Semi live in that I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but never locked the melody in (as is probably obvious).

I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
After yesterdays experiment with noise gates and vocal transformers I thought I'd have another go using Rytme as the source material.
A single Rytme track with multiple playheads is playing into a Logic channel containing Kore playing the Absynth…
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
Really liked the mood of this piece!
Recording quality sounded fine to me on my consumer-level speakers. If you do another version, I'd like to hear it.
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

Brilliant!

such a lovely vibe on this one. And thanks for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it!
love the sounds on this one
So much good stuff to choose from here. I think this one is my favorite.
Really love the ethereal mood you set with the background effects/vocals. Haunting.
love the crunchy guitar and the funky beat
Laid back feel and interesting sound design elements.

I really dig the vibe on this one and like the effects you chose for the guitars.
