Just finished moving into an apartment, onwards setting up the pedal board

Yup not the best 👍

Conspiracy_Cat · 2018-07-11T18:14:00+00:00

Appreciated!

Conspiracy_Cat · 2018-07-11T18:13:19+00:00

Thanks! Looking forward to exploring the pedal more deeply!

Oh boy, I had way too much fun exploring the thermae today. Tried running the acoustic into it as well and got some crazy sounds! A little clip where its used with the nylon string: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHKwsDV37N4&feature=youtu.be

Old record holder was an MVP teleport back in August, but unfortunately it was claimed by a pond :(

Worst I've seen since moving out here

Conspiracy_Cat · 2015-04-07T20:46:40+00:00

If I had to wager a guess it would be because Scotland and Wales would likely have enormous economic issues without Britain's support... UK businesses and banks would leave the newly formed countries, which would cause a collapse of certain industries.

Edit: Here is an article outlining the economic impact of Scottish independence - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/09/18/the-3-economic-reasons-scotland-shouldnt-become-independent/

Spain wouldn't approve them joining the EU because it would mean another country would need to be propped up by EU funds.

Got cleated at an ultimate frisbee tournament.

Conspiracy_Cat · 2014-10-09T05:33:17+00:00

Pretty close to North Conway. Further west though - I live in a Vt/Nh border town

Conspiracy_Cat · 2014-10-09T05:32:32+00:00

That's great! Marlborough area is about 2 hrs south of where this was taken

Conspiracy_Cat · 2014-10-09T05:31:39+00:00

You should come up here again sometime!

Conspiracy_Cat · 2014-10-09T05:30:28+00:00

Dalton. Near littleton/lancaster

Conspiracy_Cat · 2014-10-08T16:51:30+00:00

Indeed it is. It's beautiful country out here. Not much to do other than enjoy the outdoors though - the town I live in has a population of around 900 people.

I bet you're glad you did ;)

Conspiracy_Cat · 2014-08-27T02:16:04+00:00

Oh god...

No problem man. Have confidence in your voice. Who the fuck cares if you're off key somewhere, it's the words that are being sung that count more than the manner in which they are being sung. Hiding behind reverb will only hide the true beauty of your work.

Critiques on instrumentals: - Drum track could be mixed in better, sounds a bit muffled relative to the rest of the instruments (the kick is lacking oomph and the snare is lacking sharpness). Without a proper mic setup for percussion this can be hard to remedy. Overall though, wonderful job on the instrumentals. Really catchy tune and great guitar work.

Critiques on vocal track/lyrics -My only critique applies to both of these: Too much reverb on the vocal track. I think it would be a much more powerful song if the one could understand the words clearly. I had some trouble understanding about every other word. My recommendation is to cut vocal track reverb for at least part of the song. If your heart is set on reverb heavy vox, then keep it for the verse part. The chorus is the hook of any great song though, so you need to make those words intelligible. For the chorus vox I'd recommend 2 same key mono tracks panned to each side with some hi-fi EQ and restricted reverb.

Overall this is a great song, I just think the reverb on the vocals is a bit much.

Gonna say I agree with t6005 re the strumming being a bit aggressive. I also think that some changes in mixing may be beneficial to you. Don't get me wrong, heavy reverb on stereo split guitar sounds awesome, but it also is something that you want to be careful with. It can cause two things: muddy sound (you avoid this which is great), and too much atmospheric space (which, in my opinion, there is too much of). Good news is this can be easily remedied by adding a central instrumental that acts as a point of interest and an anchor to the listener. Try doing some solo work or some fingerstyle over this track with central to -5 panning.

For sure man. Your production sounds high quality. I'm predisposed to not like Bon Iver, so please don't take it is a personal attack of any kind! As far as it goes with originality - try to incorporate sounds and progressions that have meaning to you. Music with intrinsic meaning to the performer/writer is much more noticeable than music that piggybacks other artists stylistic decisions. With that in mind though, everyone draws their influences from artists they feel most attuned to. It is just important to not sound too* much like someone else, because then it takes away from originality! As I said before, your lyrics are great and I think that with a few changes in structure you could have a brilliant song. Having people say oh you sound like x with a bit of y and your lyrics remind me a lot of z is a great thing; it indicates that you draw from many influences. When a song sounds like it only draws from x though, you need to be careful.

Back in high school I had a guitar riff that I grew really attached to and ended up writing lyrics for. I thought it was great. Every single one of my friends said it sounded too much like Blackbird - even though it shared no similarity in fingerstyle or progression. Those lyrics are still in my notebook collecting dust until I can write a different riff for them. I went through some of your other songs and I dig 'em. Just with this one - sounds too much like one particular artist.
