I'm struggling figuring out something for this song- not because it's not good (because it is), but because my brain works too simply for these changes. Everything I was coming up with was just overlaying chords, which is lazy and extraneous. I personally cotton to the idea of more straight-forward tracks, esp. given limited time to work on them for at least the frame of the near future.

The drums are a little bit behind the beat... but recorded beautifully. Jesus. Great tone.

In the future, would it be possible for whoever puts something up to include the BPM as well, so we can sync it to click track in whatever programs we use? Would make recording percussion stuff in general a lot easier.

I agree, posting The bpm would definitely help me a lot going forward. Percussion stuff and specifically rhythmic electronic stuff has been difficult for me to put together without a tempo.

The two songs so far didn't sound to me like they were recorded to a metronome, actually. Which I wouldn't normally be opposed to, but considering the way we're recording I think it would help us out.

I agree as well. It would be great to line up a four count metronome to record to. This song sits somewhere around 84bpm.

I recorded it to a click so it has the bpm listed, I just need to look. Will do!

Maybe what it needs is chordal. Give it a whirl and post what you come up with. We can always decide whether it works or not. Also, what about vocals?

Will work on this as soon as I get a moment.

I also have a song that I've been stuck on for a long while, might upload it for the group to play around with sometime in the next few days.

That would be great, I'm excited to hear your tune and I'd be glad to work on it.
