hi all, i'm here again looking for help with a new tune that i've been toying around with. it's a grungy sounding rock and i would really like some vocals on top (a guitar solo would be nice as well). i've called it doomsday, but depending on the lyrics it can certainly change name. So if anybody comes up with some lyrics and wants to sing over it here is a basic version of it:

any other ideas or comments would be much appreciated.

here's an idea for the ending of "spaced in", the track that i presented earlier. I'm not too sure if it fits with the rest of the tune, so if anyone wants to comment...

hi russel, ran into a spot of trouble as i was trying to lay the keyboards on fire of light. for some reason ableton changed the levels of the original recording and turned the bass levels way up. i've been fiddling about with it and couldn't find out why. decided to leave til tomorrow, and all of a sudden i had a brilliant idea which i think is going to solve the problem. i'll try it tomorrow though because it's kind of late in this corner of the world and i'm starting to feel tired. here's what i recorded:
the keyboards have changed (hammond b4 emulator) and again this is just a sound test .

M is fine. having heard the keyboard sound on fire of light,do you have any suggestions on how to play it? i'm thinking of lowering volume level on the keyboard slightly so that it becomes a background fill, not so "in your face" as it is now.

i checked your website out and you've got some nice songs there. the keyboard i laid down was just a first version to see how it sounded, and will try to do a better one soon. i'm glad you liked it

was trying to find some keyboard sounds that went with your song fire of light and came up with this:

. hope i'm not bugging you all)

i've just had a playaround with user doug smith's fire of light song and did a different take on it, by reequalizing it making it sound more "heavy metallish", and putting a basic blues scale solo on it. I've taken the liberty of recording and uploading the results. here it is:

I don't have the pretension of having made it better just different...

Re: overlapping circles (14 replies, posted in Recording)
right. here is a new piece that i've been working on. it's unfinished work so any additions will be more than welcome. it definitely needs an ending and a vocal line would be brilliant: you can listen and download it here:

hi russel, as to the handle you can call me Ant if you like 
. as to help with the songs that's exactly why i decided to start posting on the forum. i'm not a very good technical musician but i'm trying to improve as much as possible. but my songwriting skills have improved and i think it's time to get some feedback from fellow musicians. help with my songs? that's exactly what i need, i can't sing for example and some of the songs are crying for some words to be sung over them!! guitar solos? i'm limited to the old pentatonic, sometimes it feels like i'm playing the same solo over and over again. so if anyone reads this and has some (any) feedback I'm more than open to suggestions!

hi all!
i'm brand new at this forum thing. I'm really keen to interact with other musicians so that i can grow as one myself. I have a series of homemade recordings that i post on a personal blog. so if anybody wants to have a listen, suggest and criticize (constructively), you are more than welcome to here: http://overlappingcircles.blogspot.com/. i dabble in the guitar, keyboards and music software so if anyone needs a hand, just contact me. i'll try to help as much as possible.
