My band

[gore]

I'll see if I can upload another, I finished laying the tracks out and burning the first CD last night so it's exciting heh

[Godsrock37]

its not bad, i like the beats for the most part. I'm into metal, punk, jazz, classical, techno, rap. basically anything other than country and crap, so you're getting a pretty well rounded view from me and i dont really know you if thats what you were looking for.

suggestions: add a melody or something over top

definitely could work/play video games/dance to the beats/bass, good work there

oh im a saxaphonist and guitarist too so that tells you a little bit more about where im coming from, i've been playing for 10 years (since i was 8)

[gore]

Thanks seriously

The album is basically done, I made the first copys already to test and added stuff I can't add on Myspace, they only allow 4 songs, so there is more, and for some reason TWO songs are silent and don't play even though they play fine when I play just the MP3s, but other than that I also added an intro

Thanks much!

Just an update:

I finished the album and burned the first working copy ever today

I'll be setting up a paypal and finding a way to get it out to people not in my physical location when I can for anyone who liked it. Except Korpdeth who I will force to buy one anyway

Anyway, I may upload the new version of the gorekore song as I finally found a FREE app that let me take an MP3, and add a pause so I could pop the intro right into the first song instead of making it a separate track, so now the first song has the intro, then a 1 second pause and goes into gore kore.

The intro of course is a door creaking open and a woman screaming.

I decided to call the album "Prescription for Fear" and have "Digital Horror" on the far side of the CD.

As I said I do it all by hand, so art work is drawn on. I think it adds a nice personal touch, and as I said if I somehow make it big, well, the people who helped in the begining would have a CD worth a bunch more than they paid for it.

I decided also on price of the album:

Members of AO, Friends, and Family can have the full album for 5 dollars US.

People I don't know will pay full price, a very expensive 7 dollars

I made the entire album in a way that will probably make Richard Stallman happy, it was done on Linux with a GPLd app, and even when I spliced the intro together with the first song it was with a GPLd app.

Don't worry though, it wasn't because I think it's superior to do so, I just can't afford a 300 - 900 dollar app to do it and free ones are available.

I should email stallman about this lol, and tell him my story about how I went to find something I could download for free that did what I needed when I couldn't afford a commercial product.

That should get my name in the news and my band, and exposure is everything.

For the music playing members:

Do you know of any guitars and or things you can use to hook up a guitar to a laptop or other computer and record directly to the computer whatever guitar you're playing?

Any help is appreciated as I'd really like to hook a guitar up and play through the computer instead of an amp, and would like to know if anyone would recommend software that will let me do this.

Regardless of price, license, and OS needed. Except Mac OS, I don't have that.

Thanks dude, seriously. I'm trying to get more feed back, so far the only people who hear it like me as a person, so there is that question of "are they saying it's good because they like ME or...?"

I like it.

If it makes you feel better, I think you're a douchebag.

I use Acid for any audio stuff.

Find it on a torrent and try it out.


As for hooking up the guitar... You can plug it into the microphone port IIRC... you'd just need an adapter to go from the 1/4" mono to 1/8".

[D0pp139an93r]

I want a free copy of the CD and royalties from every album sold.

The minute you hook that guitar up to your computer, you're using my idea...



IP pwns.

its not bad, i like the beats for the most part. I'm into metal, punk, jazz, classical, techno, rap. basically anything other than country and crap, so you're getting a pretty well rounded view from me and i dont really know you if thats what you were looking for.

I remember when I was a little kid... you only had maybe three genres of music. There was rock, hard rock, and then you had poppy-dancey sort of stuff.

Then when the eighties ended everyone wanted to come up with their own name for the same old song and dance. The truth is country is rock music. I don't care if it has over accented vocals and acoustic guitars... that **** is still rock and roll. And I think that anyone who isn't into a little country simply isn't a big fan of rock.

Gore, I really didn't like alot of it. You also run into a problem which I, Alec Empire... seem to share on occasion. The problem is familiarity between tracks.

You aren't Alec Empire you're a guy in the US according to your IP which isn't running through a proxy. However, if you wanted to hit a soft spot on me you chose the right person to impersonate as Atari Teenage Riot is a huge inspiration to me.

As for Country and rock, I Love Johnny Cash. Who doesn't?

The real alec Empire did the same thing I did though, made an entire album with nothing but a Laptop.

Du bist Alec Nicht.

[gore]

I like it.

Thanks, yes, it does help when someone doesn't like me personally says they like it, then I know for sure they aren't just kissing ass. I updated the Gore Kore track earlier to include the intro as it's how I have it on the album.
