Dm Blues

[madrab]

This IS a fun machine. I found a pattern. Did guitar, tuned down guitar and did bass, plugged in my sons Nintendo ds with Electroplancton and added some background noise and did a solo. It's not a song as much as messing around and learning to work with the machine, and I guess I post it as an introduction. Good forum.

Welcome madrab!

That is awesome man... Very sweet blues theme.

The recording: The mix is good. Everything is recorded right and sounds good. You used your son's Nintendo DS for the background keys? Also, what guitar did you use?

The song: I like it a lot. Very cool blues.

This was a nice introduction, glad to have you on board, my friend!

Keep praticing the drum machine, it can create some very good drums once you get it working.

Thanks,
As I said I just messed around. I tried to redo a few things but it didn't get better — there is somethings about first tries.

I played around with the nintendo ds using a  game called electroplankton which is really fun. Google it.

The guitar is a dean evo that I bought used very cheap. I replaced the bridge pup with a GFS retrotron liverpool vintage and fixed it up. Now it's great.
I am used to my telecaster through a tube amp (used to be a fender super reverb, now a Hughes&K tube-edition) rather clean without any effects. So playing this guitar through the micro br-effects is really new for an old man like me. But I am impressed.

The problem with drum machines is that you really have to think like a good drummer to make them work good. But I will try to learn.

[Pedro]

Yes the guitar sounds great indeed.

Absolutely, it can get pretty mathematical I would say.

[oldrottenhead]

[waynesan76]

Love the tune brother! If this is your version of "messing around", I can't wait to hear a song you actually work on. Keep it up!

[madrab]

The vocals were great. I wish I was pissed yesterday, but instead I was down with the flu. I tried to play, but...
Reading and hearing this made a sick man feel better, Thanks!

One last thing:
I can't manage to record on top of a downloaded mp3. I guess the flu slows me down, but could someone give me a hint.

cheers,
Now I'll go to bed. I have parts from the Led Zeps dvd on my ipod. That should get me through the afternoon.

there are two ways.
the easiest but not necessarily the best way, is to play the mp3 and record from your pcs line out or headphone socket via the micro brs line in, recording to tracks 1 and 2 to get full stereo mix. 

the other way for better results is using the microbr wavconvertor program, this is much more complicated to explain but there is a guide to using it and for downloading it at the articles and tutorials section.you will need other software such as cubase or a program the converts mp3s to wav format.

There is a far easier way by importing the Mp3 file:

1. In the first screen, the song screen, press UTILITY

2. Press TR2 (TRK)

3. Press the right cursor (>) one time

4. Press TR1 (IMP)

5. Choose your MP3 file by pressing + or - and then press TR5 (NEXT)

6. Choose the track (for stereo press + until T12 is selected) you want the MP3 file to be saved to and then press TR2 (TIM)

7. Press Next
