Yes the OLYMPISS would be nice. Sometimes simple is best. I was messing around this weekend and tried something. I've got this elaborate chain of this into this into this into this... and it all ends up getting dumped into a DAW of which I use 5% of it's capabilities. Yet, off on the side I've got a very nice rack mount MD recorder (remember those?) whose sole purpose is/was to take MDs recorded on portables and be able to mix/load them into the DAW. For Ghits and Siggles I just took a guitar, plugged into a DI box and then right into the MD recorder. And guess what - it sounded friggin awesome!!! Go figger.

Location: Jet City | At first I thought OK, a reason to bust out Logic, set up all the equip...
Then I read the link and saw your "Just sit in front of a mic and let it rip." comment
So now I'm thinking set up a mic (too bad I don't have that Olympus) stick the magnum in the kid's hands, plug in the UKII, hit start on the drum machine... and GO! :D
Gotta teach the kid some bass lines. Should have SOMETHING for you soon. |

Well, since I've become an award-winning singer/songwriter, I'll see what I can do.
Usually I would not spend the time & effort composing a song unless there was at least enough cash involved to treat some friends to a few late night waffles. However, I'll make an exception in this case.... for all my fans.
And while we're on the subject, I still think Dave, John & Bill got snookered that night at the Mermaid. |

We paid off the judges to award you at the Mermaid so that you're confidence as a songwriter would get boosted and you would thus be highly motivated to contribute to the forthcoming CD. Yes in hind sight it was a rotten thing to do, but appearently it's worked to perfection.
Looking forward to your submission.
Dave
PS - Personally I think you should just record your Wind song. That WAS really good ... |

Location: south east Michigan | Manipulated or not, I was one very happy & surprised OFC'er that night.
And I know for damn sure that it was Paul, Bill, Cliff, and John's back-up work that made that tune sound so much more than it really was. So, unless I got my back-up band I think the Wind song will have to wait.
Also Dave... Thanks for doing this. I have really enjoyed the previous editions. |

Location: south east Michigan | I know we have plenty of songwriters here but Dave's CD will hold more that 20 songs. So I want to encourage youz guyz who are on the fence to step up and give it a try.
From "Sippin' from the Fire Hose", by Matt Smith.
There are basicly 3 types of songs....
The Story Song.... The Love Song.... and the Slice of Life Song.
My Wind tune was a Story Song. Which was easier because I could avoid any personal expressions of emotion because it was a fictional story about somebody who was not me.
This one looks like it will be a "Slice of Life" song. I'm trying to make this one more personal but the trick is to convey the information without using I, I, I, or me, me, me all the time.
The theme is to describe, as vividly as I can, what it feels like to sit out on the dock in the summertime. Trying to write about what I'm "feeling" (cringe) is very counter-intuitive but the subject matter is safe enough.
So come on OFCers... If I can do it, so can you.
Just take the first step and if you get stuck, come back here for some encouragment. |

I'm putting it aside for a few days, then will come back to with hopefully fresh ears. |

And your not going to like it.
You have not gotten your OFC CD submissions in quick enough to please the member formally known as Tuppy.
Therefore Dave has sub-contracted my services as a professional carnival barker / sales motivator.
This is your heads up call.
Get busy now and you won't have to deal with me. |

"Can you get this to me by July 1st?" Sure.
"Hey ... it's June 8th. Where's that job I gave you? You're late!"
:rolleyes: ;) :D :cool: :p
I've been working on mine this morning. First recording went well. Now I'm going back to do it for real. It's gonna suck big time. |
