My band

Thanks dude. The music was all made on my laptop with OpenSUSE 10.2 and I used LMMS to make all the music, and then MHWaveEdit when I wanted to put in samples or do recording myself.

For example, a movie I highly recommend especially to you, is called Wild Zero (Japanese Horror movie with Guitar Wolf, the whole movie is basically Rock-A-Billy mixed with The Ramones, Dawn of the Dead, and Space Invaders all in one, GREAT movie) I recorded a few things from that and the original Dawn of the Dead with MHWave Edit, and then once I had a song finished, I exported it as a wav file, opened it with MHWaveEdit, and then added in the samples.

I'm getting better at that so it doesn't sound so crappy and stuff as it did before, not that it's professionally done or anything, but I can tell I've done a better job with it, so I keep making music and upload it whenever I make something new.

Hell, I made a Rock-a-Billy song I haven't uploaded because I'm out of space on there and haven't added any vocals using the steel guitar sample LMMS comes with and using a picked Violin at a lower tuning to sound like a stand up bass, and then added a snare drum hit at each note to make it sound like I was playing stand up bass on it with the guitar, and then added a distortion to some of the guitar and more drums and things to make it a mix of punk and Rock-A-Billy, but I haven't added any vocals so I haven't uploaded it as of yet.

I mixed that with electronic and just named it "Digital-Billy" lol.

I uploaded a new song just now to my Myspace Music page called "I'm Master of Digital Horror" and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Anyway, go check it out and let me know what you think,

Thanks,

Just an update that has nothing to do with new songs, but if you like Horror movies you've probably heard of Rue Morgue magazine, and Rue Morgue Radio.

In the next month or two I might be given a little section in there after a few staff members went to my Myspace after I emailed a few people from the staff asking them what they thought, and apparently a couple of them loved it. So they're going to try and put something about me in their magazine !!!!!

Needless to say I'm still in shock.

The actual editor of the magazine, the main editor, actually emailed me after my Myspace page was getting passed around the office and said as soon as I have Cds that aren't CD-Rs I custom draw things on, to send one in for sure and they'll add me in.

I was shocked to even get a responce from anyone considering that magazine isn't small, let alone them saying they liked particular songs they had listened to but I figured what the hell it's worth a shot, and it payed off.

I'm not even sure where to have CDs made, I'm so used to the punk DIY thing that ordering copies of my music is something I'm not even sure of how to do. I just export as wav files, and then burn it to CD once I figure out how I want the tracks laid down on the album, and so now I'm going to try and figure out who to have do this professionally and what to have the design as.

My idea was has a German flag on the CD, like the top part being Black, the middle being Red and the Bottom being Gold colored, with the band name in logo form, the album name, and my logo for Digital Horror stamped on and having the thing that says CD-R re-designed so it's on the CD itself too, because I always added a logo of my own to the R in CD-R ;)

Anyway just a heads up in case you read it.

Just a quick update, I took down "Bestrafe mich mit Ihr Zunge" (Punish me with your tongue in German) and uploaded a remix of it I did after realizing that second high pitched sound gets REALLY annoying after the second or 3rd time hearing it, so I opened the project track, edited that out, made a new sound to go with the track, then made a drum beat to go with the new sound to replace the annoying one that all went together without sounding to bad.

I also made it free to download the whole track and I'll get it uploaded on SNOcap in case it's worth 79 cents or so to anyone, and I finally figured out how to edited prices on there, so I lowered them all. (It wasn't easy, I was looking everywhere and it doesn't show you how, finally I realized clicking on the songs themselves opens up an editor that lets you change the price from 99 cents, and then you have to save it, save the price, then save it again for each track and it finally saved the new prices) so I lowered every price, made some 59 cents, and made some 79 or 89 cents max.

Anyway, enjoy.

I'd like a copy too Gore
once you have your paypal setup [only just seen this, so I do not intend spending too long checking back into the thread] but hell yeah, once you have a CD you are happy with :eek: drop me a PM, and choose the price

and as a selling point
personal art CD = :cool:

Yea I liked the idea of drawing it on there myself. I mean it's not hard to really have like a few hundred copies done professionally, but that right now isn't my only option, I'm not a big rock star or something where I'm making 2,000,000 copies, so right now I'm still just doing it by hand and hand drawing on the logo I made and adding some other stuff depending on which brand of CDs I go with, like adding on the name of the album hand drawn how I wanted it, and it's fun to line up tracks and mixing.

Once I have more time and we're not spending most days cleaning and getting the house done the way we want I can make some newer tracks other than the last one I did and do the Refill album which has already a bunch of new stuff and not just Industrial style, like one song is basically Rock-A-Billy but with electronic stuff, I think I called it Digitalbilly, and it's all done with the app, I used a distorted steel guitar and wrote the guitar parts, and then used the drum samples to make a Ramones or Misfits style of drums to go with that and used a picked Violin sample I down tuned and added in a snare drum hit from the side which hits every time it's used which makes it sound exactly like a stand up bass.

I also added in an electric bass to it and the only thing really not there is vocals I guess. I could probably just pick a song I've written or write one to go with it and record it.

One thing I also did, was the first 10 or so copies I made, I numbered them. Heh if I ever do make it big, whoever has like #2 is going to be RICH. I kept The first one I burned and they're marked to show not only that it's the second one ever or third one or whatever number it is, but I would change those ones so it would be easy to tell which number and burn session it was that it was made on.

I though that was cool because I know if I had the first recording of Horror Business or something by The Misfits I'd be wetting myself.

The price part is a little different, if someone comes up to me and I sell them one, it's about 5 dollars that I charge which is enough to buy more CDs to burn more copies, and make a few dollars off of it. Which is why the Myspace page prices are even cheaper because I'm not paying for CDs to burn copies to, so I tried to be fair about it and not stingy or greedy. One of them on there I set the price for at 59 cents, if I sell that one I get 20 cents from it.

I set them on price basically on how good the song went. If someone is like wow that's awesome or something and I know I worked hard to make it good, then it's like 79 cents. (They're in increments of 9 because SNOcap takes 39 cents and I have OCD and want it to even out lol).

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone !

New song up, called SlackWareWolf, I think Wolfman is going to LOVE that lol.

Gore!! Awesome track man! This is one of the Wolfmans favorites so far. Since this track is so fangtastic, do you mind if I put it on the Wolfman's homepage??

If you do come out with a CD, let me know. I will buy one for sure!

Good stuff man, keep it up!

Sure, just give me credit and maybe a link to my myspace ;)

Absolutely Gore. I would never take someone else's music without giving full credit and a link to the source.

I'll let you know when it's online.
