2024 Do Something Challenge - Week Seven

[Alex Kenivel]

I am squeezing Heads of Cabbage in the Grocery Store while listening to this.

Kinky

Tried to redo this. Shortened the intro bit to try to get on with it a little sooner. Used the multipresser to try to get rid of some of the "Make it stop" freq's between 100-140 on the distorted stuff. Tried to thicken up the middle bit with a couple chords pulled back in the distance. (And try to make a slightly better fade) Tried to pump up the bass some. (Which goes in and out of being buried) Volume automation to try to raise the finale up a little more.



Not sure it got any better as a mix. I got full respect for mixers, I'm staring at a compressor like Bozo Bob Rock.

This is so not any sort of song, but me just totally trying to dial in tones and get used to playing these Explorer bodies. Definitely not made for sitting down, which is how I normally record.

Love it! Your bass always sounds like asphalt being crushed... which is awesome.

How does one get involved with this so-called "Do Something" program? I fear it may be an obvious answer.

Pretty easy. Make some new music and submit it.

It can be you doing a cover. Playing a lead over backing tracks. An all-original thing, whatever. Just needs to be something you DO during the season, not DID in the past, and needs to be you. Pretty Lucy Goosey rules after that...

Sounding tasty Whizz!
I've been using automation a lot more these days too. It really does make a huge difference.

Thanks Fuzzmaster! I was a little worried about hanging my hopes on this bass as it has passive pickups and all my basses are actives with onboard preamps. Thankfully, I was able to charge some Stomp Bucks to your card and Helix up a new preset for it that drives it into the same tone-o-sphere that makes me smile when playing. Really, really love this bass so far.

That's awesome, and glad my card helped. Your last little purchase of some busted vocal processor gadget caused a bit of trouble.
But all is forgiven if you can keep cranking out crushing bass tones.

Thankfully the purveyor of Busted Barneys has been really cool to deal with. But, likely won't swipe your card for another one anytime soon.

Straight on point.

@Iron1 is serious business. You don't want to be on his bad side.

Did I say something offensive?

Did I say something offensive?

Not at all - this thread doubles as a wayward home for lost clown college dropouts, so attempts at humor, both successful and otherwise, are pretty "normal".

@Iron1 has been known to take words the wrong way, but I think you're fine.


And yes -- I failed clown college miserably.

Damn it, no more clown emoji.

Can you allow my first submission be something a couple months old? I'll have something fresher for week eight

A sort of cover, an update of the old Barry Mcguire protest tune from the 60's... I was trying to ape U2 a little bit



Hamer DC, MT Drums, Reaper etc.
