Horns Keys and Rhythm section recorded on a Fairlight music computer. Vocals and guitars recorded at Atlantis Studios South Melbourne. It is tough being a solo artist cos you have nobody to blame but yourself. slawie (Message edited by slawie on July 21, 2010) 88persuader Senior Member Username: 88persuader Post Number: 401 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - 6:04 pm:    Nice stuff, well done! artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1215 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - 6:15 pm:    Slawie, Very nice songs and recordings. Both had good swing. Congratulations! Art ps: is there more? slawie Advanced Member Username: slawie Post Number: 238 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - 6:24 pm:    There is more but Musolist will only allow 2 tracks at a time. I will remove those 2 and post others later. slawie mike1762 Senior Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 599 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 - 11:46 pm:    Very nice and well crafted songs. I agree that it can be tough writing/recording songs as a solo artist: especially when your main instrument serves more of a rhythm role. You have to constantly remind yourself that the goal is a good song... not (necessarily) a platform for showing-off your chops (that's what guitard players are for!!!). I nearly always go back and re-record my bass tracks with much simplier lines after a song has taken-on its final "form". If you set-up a Facebook page you can share your tracks (best I can tell, unlimited uploads) via several different applications: iLike links to FB by a "Music" tab and Reverb Nation will link by a "My Band" tab. I like Reverb Nation the best. You can actually make a little money (VERY little... I've made about 13 cents) based on the number of "plays" you get. What's a "Fairlight music computer"? dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1457 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 22, 2010 - 10:44 am:    Nice! "Common Goal" sounded good, I couldn't get the other track to play. MySpace will let you upload up to 10 tracks (if you register as a band/performer). I routinely post tracks from my latest shows there.

That is the little triangle with the bar thingy. Mike 1762 a link to Wiki about Fairlight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairlight_CMI Thanks for the positive notes guys. slawie slawie Advanced Member Username: slawie Post Number: 240 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 22, 2010 - 11:35 pm:    I stripped the songs off musolist cos it was causing problems with the tunes messing up. I am setting up a MyFace or Spacebook. slawie dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1459 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, July 23, 2010 - 7:02 am:    LOL I like both of those choices for a vanity page...
