Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round Three: "Co-Pilot"

I'm curious how the judges might feel about swapping lead vocalists for this round.

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round Two: "The Numbers Don't Lie"

I wonder how many of these songs are in C major and therefore might be easy to mash up. I don't know how to do that, but I hope someone with time and expertise will do it.

I completely scrapped my song and wrote/recorded another last minute. With just tambourine. 😬 we’ll see how it does!
If anyone can pull this off, it is you Ben Krieger.

Today's SDotD is a pair of Mackie Monitors for $50. I have these and they are decent enough. Used them as my studio monitors until I upgraded and now use them with a turntable for casual listening. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190 Mackie CR3-X 3" Powered Studio Monitors Limite...

Re: 20th anniversaries of folks who joined in 2003

Yes. As are you!

If this list is correct, 2003 was a fucking magical year for Songfight.

This list is also a little sad with at least a couple of friends who aren't with us any longer on it.

Re: Song Fight! Live IRL 2023

Thanks for kicking this off Lunkhead! I think it would be great to keep an online aspect as well, so maybe as a two night event, one could be an in person show and then next night could be a streaming/ view party? Any thoughts on ways to make the live fight hybrid? Could there be a way to alternate ...

I just share my entire Logic projects with Toshiro and Crumpet. Let them see my substantial warts and farts.

We use some point-to-point sync tool rather than anything g cloudy. Dunno why.
This is really nice if everyone is using the same version of the same DAW.

Re: Online collaboration technologies

Also it's a good idea to include the click and/or placeholder drums in the demo track. I disagree with at least part of this. As a drummer, the last thing I want to track to is some other drum track. I agree that you should include at least a stable click intro that can be used to line up your file...

Re: Deals On Gear and Software

Here's a place that makes condenser microphones inside of spent shotgun shells. Great for tight spots. I have an x/y I've used as a drum overhead, yet to try on acoustic guitar, but quite pleased with it. Just ordered a single to try on snare/guitar. Inexpensive and handmade in good old Vermont. Yo...
