I'm actually already done with The World is a Thorn by Demon Hunter... DAMMIT CST GIVE US THE THREAD.
Here's a rough mix. I still have to do some leveling and add more guitars and fix the vocals in a few places.

May I just say, drop tuning Floyd Rose equipped guitars sucks.

I think I'm gonna do Spirit Needs A Spirit Tool by His Name Is Alive.

Glad to see some familiar names posting here.

I always love your entries. Hopefully it won't take too much to get back to having a dozen entries every round.

Thanks, and the feeling's mutual!

I think I might not have actually finished a complete track since my last Rockstar entry over a year ago? Having Rockstar deadlines (fluid though they may be) was a huge creative motivation for me. Without some kind of goal I end up starting project after project, but hardly ever finishing anything.

I know the feeling. I've got a ton of sketches and chord sheets written out but only one or two completed tracks.

Didn't soundcloud use to have a way to upload new files into an existing track as an update?

If you have one of the pro plans, you can edit your track and replace the audio file. Is that what you mean?

Yeah. I guess they gave me a free trial of pro a while back because I know I did it with one of my regular demos.

I can't really complain at anyone except myself. I got all excited about the theme and had my entry pretty much finished before the thread was even up.

Also, definitely keep the cat.

Agreeing with this. I have my (now long dead) dog barking starting at around 37s in this old demo.

Kinda cool being able to still hear her now.

Now I just gotta totally blow it with the mix. :v:

In all honesty, this is one of the reasons I love doing this. I'm still far from brilliant at recording and mixing, but the feedback I've gotten has produced a definite improvement from when I was sitting in a dorm room running my guitar into a cheap pedal board directly into my mixer. Speaking of, that could be something fun: Take an older entry, redo it and make an album out of that.

Disturbed ukulele. Wow.

Oh and the key to not burning out on a song - do it all in one session. The second you come back to it and start recording more tracks, you've killed it. (I am talking to myself in the previous statement)

This is so true. As soon as I had a song picked out I literally fired up Cubase at 0800, finished the vocals at 0945 and went straight to church. Couldn't sing at all, but I haven't really touched it since except for a bit of mixing.

One day left (barring the standard extension).

If no one objects I'll try and put a voting thread together tonight in between getting blown away by tornadoes or swept away by floods. Are we putting those in NMD or ML?

I set the poll to run through next Friday, so we should get some good results.

If they don't wanna party, gently caress em. I'm learning new tricks everytime we do this, so it's a net gain for me even when it is just a hug box for the participants.

I'm willing to give it a few more tries here before potentially jumping ship. We're only on round two of the reboot and it takes time to gain traction, especially when goons are involved.

Don't get me wrong. I love Pink Floyd and DSotM may be one of the best albums of all time, but given the experimental nature of some of the material I just don't see it working for covers. I like the idea of classic/influential albums, but I think if we do that we have to narrow our gaze a bit and go more toward the commercially palatable end of the spectrum and hit the conventional rock or pop. Also I'd rather have a surplus of material to choose from and not have anyone feel left out. Just my two cents.
