LargeHadron posted:For real OP, how did you get the YouTube video image to look that way? Did you have to create the still image in Photoshop and then do some MovieMaker BS to play audio over it? I ask because I've seen a lot of audio-only videos that look the same way, and I figured there must be a service that lets you upload album art and metadata then creates the video for you. At least I'm hoping there is. If you make a DistroKid account, they will put all your albums on YouTube for you. There's a few different paid models. I think my band pays something like $30 a year for DistroKid to put all our music on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc.

LargeHadron posted:Thanks. That sounds like a cool service. Would you recommend it? Absolutely. It's way, way easier to convince people to click on a Spotify link or embedded YouTube video than it is to get them to go to your Bandcamp. edit: I think CDBaby provides an equivalent service. I haven't done any research comparing them, but you may want to.

I've been working on a new solo album and it's been kind of a grind, but I'm finally landing on stuff I'm happy with. This is the first album I've ever made using bass/guitar/drum machine loops as a songwriting starting point, so the result is a lot of very drone-heavy, kraut-y guitar porn grooves. The textures have been really fun to shape, and I know mixing is gonna be a blast. Here's an unmixed rough bounce of one of the more complete songs, with scratch vocals and maybe one scratch guitar track: Archaeology And here's a picture of the chart that I always make myself when I start working on a new album:  I like hearing about other people's processes. Keep posting cool things, goons.

LargeHadron posted:It's a good track, nice post-MBV dissonances in the guitar and nice vocals too (well, once they've been mixed properly). You missed out on a chance for interesting word-painting with the repetition of "grow" halfway through. Make it grow in some way (gradually building layers until it's just a mess of the word "grow" from every angle), or at least keep it going longer than you feel is appropriate. That's just my two cents. Yep, parameter word painting is on my list for sure for that moment. Like I said, vox are scratch, and I'm for sure holding off on pumping it full of fun effects until I have a real take. Thanks for the feedback!

LargeHadron posted:Oh ok, cool. Sorry to assume you hadn't thought of that, my bad. No, not at all man! Totally didn't mean to come across as a dick. I just meant I had the same thought. Glad to hear you agreed! Consensus means it's probably a good idea.  Yup, Wag is alive and well. We'll have new music soon, too.

Red Ryder posted:I've been working on my first album for far too long and I finally decided it's finished: Your song "Adorable" is the poo poo. Reminds me of the old Elephant 6 stuff. Thinking of The Gerbils. If you don't know them, check out the album "Are You Sleepy?" It's in a similar vein, and I think you'd really dig. I finally finished up a solo full length I've been working on for the better part of a year. Perfect for fans of mostly clean guitars, motorik style grooves, monotonous basslines, and whiney vox. It's called "Achievements in Large Scale Topiary". I'm really proud of it, but I wish I'd had the resources to record the drums properly. At the time of recording, I only had the means to do a 2 microphone setup. https://monsterfurniture.bandcamp.com/album/achievements-in-large-scale-topiary Recorded in my room/practice space with a Scarlet 2i2 on Logic Pro X. Mixed on Logic Pro X.

OutOfPrint posted:Raising this from the dead because I have an EP coming out 8/25: https://faustbot.bandcamp.com/track/sneak-a-peek This is sick. Extremely Devo! I see on your Bandcamp you're in Philly. Do you ever play shows in Brooklyn? I put out a new solo album as Monster Furniture a couple of months ago. It's lots of delicate acoustic fingerpicking, woodwinds, and harmonies. It's very inspired by Owen Pallett, Sufjan Stevens, and Alex G. I spent too long working on it and was completely sick of it by the time I finished, but with a little bit of distance from it I'm proud of where it landed: https://monsterfurniture.bandcamp.com/album/giant-egg Now I can't wait to swing hard in the other direction and make something minimal and monotonous and post-punky for the next one!
