mission statement

page for my virtual band "jalopy jones and the chop-shop orchestra". i'm basically a beginner musician and i'm doing this to improve my skills, practice song writing etc. (also mental health stuff, this is a "me" project i guess. my style is punk band trying to be a prog band, which matches my skill level. this blog is a diary of that, warts and all, parts and scraps, crappy demos, etc, all of it. mostly instrumentals, some spoken word, and eventually traditional punk songs.

groove 6

 




old project, starting new demo but wanted to mix this a few n more time times

instrumental, i don't know, a mix of jazz and ... elevator?

recorded double rhythm guitar tracks, both with "finesse" and pushed left right, added delay so they could ping-pong around and it really didn't work, sounded cool but guitar did sit in the front, and without full on delay just sounds like i'm drunk, might work in a fugazi style song but not this, went to single track 2 oclock and used voice thickener

verses are different guitar tones, i like the first one best.  marshal 800 clone thru analog amp and cab sim (the sinplifier)  it sounds better.  if i remember this was the first thing i recorded thru and i can hear the different.  not there yet but much better. 

next mix of this demo using channav, first experiments with channel strips, also adding tube sat plugin for guitar tone
