This is a favorite tune of mine from the 60's
by Eric Burdon & The Animals
When I was young - Mix#1 - 07/13/2010
|
I started to mess around with this Van Halen tune
before I woke up and realized I can't play
like Eddie. :(
I didn't get very far before I decided to
abandon ship, just the intro.
This is from the Fair Warning album which
has my favorite EVH guitar tones.
Eddie had some
Very dark and nasty tone on that album.

This is a tune that I did the guitar work on for a member named
RootMusic on the Mixcraft Live web site
RootMusic just sent me a .mp3 file and I added
the guitar parts.

This tune was written by John Jorgenson of the Hellecasters
I love the melody on this song.
Thanks to PoeticIntensity and Beatlebum for
their great tracks.

Beatlebum also did the bass track on this mix

This is a tune by Dan Morrissey called Queen of Spades
It has an Indian vibe to to it.
According to the original composer, it's more of a music soundtrack type piece.
I have altered the original tune quite a bit in my own warped way.
This is Mix #1
Queen of Spades

I am a beta tester for Acoustica's Mixcraft 5 and so I started messing around with this Van Halen tune from the first album, using the Mixcraft
5 beta to chase down software bugs.
I can't really go any further with the tune until I find someone who can sing the part of David Lee Roth.
It's not even close to something I can sing.
I'll hunt around and see if anyone wants to to sing on this and then I'll post back a version with lyrics.
Van Halen's - Ain't Talkin Bout Love

This is a Laura Branigan tune from the 80's.
Another tune where I was messing around with using Synth's in Mixcraft.
This one features Larry the Belching Arp
Laura Branigan - Self Control
- 11/22/2009

I Have been messing around with all the cool Synth sounds in Mixcraft 4.5
This tune is all synths, no guitars or drums at all.
If you want a mental vision as you listen, picture this.
The tune is about an industrial Factory.
It starts with the whistle blowing, all the machines fire up and start making a bunch of weird noises, as machines do.
I highly recommend listening with headphones and a sub woofer.

I have had this Fleetwood Mac tune running around my brain for 30 years.
Bob Welch wrote this tune called Hypnotized.
I tried to round up a better vocalist, but I ended up doing the vocals myself.
Hypnotized - 6.6 megs - 03/20/2009

This one was really fun. I started to mess around with programming synths in Mixcraft 4.5, which I had never done before.
I had heard this ABBA tune in a movie and really liked the melody and the synths in the tune.
This is a tune by ABBA called, Lay all your Love on me. (Yes ABBA) - :)
Lay All Your Love on Me - 6.8 megs - 02/05/2009

I purchased a bunch of real drum samples and then set up a kit in Beatcraft with some of the new samples.
I used the new kit to record Surfing With the Alien, mostly as a test of the new samples.
No big deal, just a ripping fun romp.

I met this guy, Jim Hickey, over at www.Mixcraftlive.com who is a guitar and Bass teacher and
he sells jam tunes and other items on his web site.
He posted a Jam in Am on MixcraftLive.com that had a cool groove and so I wrote a tune based on his Jam.
Here's Jim's page at Mixcraft live http://mixcraftlive.com/members/74/
And here's his web site. http://www.jimhickeymusic.com/
This tune was just a fun little diddy I did one afternoon during a 3 day rain fest we were having.
I am playing guitar over the top of Jim's drum and Bass Jam track.

Synth Thetic 2 - 6.23 meg - 08/12/2008 - mix #2, the shotgun mix
Written by Doug Hoffman
I re-did the drum track and made a bunch of mixing changes.
I also added a shotgun blast when the drum track starts. :)
This was a fun tune to do.
It has a bunch of Synth sounds formed into rhythmic beats in time with the main dance beat.

You take the backing track and lay down a lead over the top of the backing track.
There is a vote at month's end on which track submitted is your favorite.
