Zoe_BillySheehan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey! I've just spent about 8 - 9 hours recording this in my bedroom. all my using is the free programme 'Garageband' that you get with Macs. and a 1/8 phono to a 1/4 stereo jack lead. Everything on there (bass and guitar) is played by me... and the drums are just loops from 'Garageband'.. and i programmed it myself too. PLEASE have a listen Just click on "(Cover) The Clash - Stay free" my Music Myspace: [url="http://www.myspace.com/ZoeHeslopBass"]www.myspace.com/ZoeHeslopBass[/url] All comments are MUCH appreciated, thank you!

alexclaber Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Great work. There's nothing quite so satisfying as getting songs down onto tape - I did all the production and engineering on the tracks linked in my signature and it is SO much work but it's always worth it once you've got the end product. Now when can we expect some vocals from you as well? Join us singing bassists! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well it used to but it doesn't any more - though it does mean my wife avoids my gigs...) I got sick of trying to find a vocalist and was already writing the lyrics and it just happened by accident. Rather like the bass cabs thing, who knows where life will lead you?! Glad you liked the tunes - hoping to do a whole album this year if we find the time...

lonestar Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That's really good Zoe. Well played. I'm a big Clash fan it's a great tune. Sadly I'm old enough to be nostalgic about this from playing Give 'em Enough Rope to death during my last year at school. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urb Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Zoe Really nice bass playing - and everything else as well - I know what it's like recording stuff yourself, after a few hours you think you are going mad, have forgotten the time, or to eat something, the phone rings are you can't even remember your name... (or is that just me ) - it's like a very addictive drug, but thankfully the more you do it the better you get at recording, and playing music (hopefully). In other words keep it up - really good work. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escholl Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 well done, that's sounding pretty good both musically (obviously) and as far as production values go, considering you did it in garageband. ^_^ recording/mixing is a long and time consuming road (i feel like i've spent about 1000 hours so far on our most recent tracks), as others have said, but well worth it in the end. plus, it gives you an excuse to buy all sorts of new gear!

AM1 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Zoe, this is great work, I am really impressed. If you are interested in the production side, why not think about doing a course? This could be something for you to add to your skills and open more career possibilities. Cheers AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
