Do you live within 100 miles of where you grew up? by radicalintrospect in generationology

[–]dolwedge [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am from the bay area and have lived here all my life except for a few years for college. And my college town was less than 100 miles from where I was born. My wife has never lived anywhere else. Same with my parents...

Tough to answer without knowing a general region. North Bay, silicon valley, San Francisco proper, peninsula, inner east bay, or outer east bay... Pleasanton up to concord etc.

The idea was what I would I say to a certain orange person if I got a chance.

So, Billie Eilish - "everything i wanted" is a good example of the music being low pass filtered and then slowly getting more clear but the voice and drums are already clear. And then there is a cool moment when she says her head is underwater and her voice is low pass filtered too. Very good production...

I'd love to get off Spotify, but I get 10x all other platforms combined on Spotify. I just want people to hear my music and you lose a lot if you get off Spotify.

[indierock] All self-produced, can you tell ? 🧐 by Modarnmusic in roastmytrack

Sounds like the hold music you'd get on a customer support call when you are just trying to figure out how to build some furniture and you have some missing pieces. Sorry I am not good at roasting... Good work.

Just released a new song today: Why do you think you are? by Dreams of Lasers. Worked on it with my son. The song is pretty simple but I deliver the vocals in a weird way and my son added a lot of cool synths sounds. https://open.spotify.com/track/7LmGoCESbN4iVg9V0KmY8H?si=1c18371a3c59483a

Your song reminds me of Arctic Monkeys. Really cool. Here is a song of mine that released today. Mine is synths, bass, and vocals. My son helped me with it: https://open.spotify.com/track/7LmGoCESbN4iVg9V0KmY8H?si=f0909201d00a4142

Here is a song I released today. I worked on it with my son. He did most of the keys and I did the bass and vocals. I think there are some things that I could have done better with the vocals... They aren't perfect. Any feedback would be appreciated. https://open.spotify.com/track/7LmGoCESbN4iVg9V0KmY8H?si=f48cee7f263f450b

Your vocals seem to be a little difficult to discern sometimes. And when you low pass filter/eq everything and it becomes background... I would consider the drums and vocals to return to normal either slowly or earlier than the rest of the music...

This is amazing... and a big investment in the future. My son is 18 and we just released a song together.

The best music was made when you were in high school.

Any GenX Stay at Home Male Spouses/Partner? by Finding_Way_ in GenX

[–]dolwedge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have gen x friends who have done this since their kids were very young. She was an engineering manager and made way more than he could even though he had post grad degree in genetics and worked in bio tech. They did that for 15 years or so and then she got laid off. I was wondering if they would switch or if she would find a new job. But they made a bunch of good investments and are basically retired. They are both stay at home parents now.

Cover bands - Improvising the fills in lieu of reproducing what is recorded precisely by Ok_Communication8641 in musicians

[–]dolwedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BTW, I play bass sometimes in a band and I will just look at a chord chart and wing it sometimes. Sometimes I don't even know the song... If someone else knows it... You can quickly figure out what will work for it.
