\"Scottish Stomp\"

ACWild · September 2006

I was playing around with my metronome and had this melody in my head. My friend wanted to me do a sound clip, so I figured I as might as well make a song out of it. I've always wanted to play with ambient noises, so this was play-time.
No vocals yet as my singer is away, but this is another candidate for an instrumental. That's why the bridge is two bars longer than it should be.
I was going for a punk sounding mix, just because. Anyway, this was done this morning and I had a blast! Thanks to Mark007 for finding me some ambient sound clips.

Whatta gas, fun jam. Where did the drums come from? And when your vocalist gets back, lemme borrow him/her/it. I'm not doing so well there. :oops:

ACWild · September 2006

Thanks for checking it out Shredd. It's supposed to be a bar tune. Or, if you will, a \"pub\" tune. My wife, daughter, and I were having a blast swinging each other around to this, so that pretty much made my day.

You're a better vocalist than you give yourself credit for. Especially when you sing in your range. 8) Plus, you have a gift of making music that sounds like you're smiling.

The drums are Storm Drums for the samples and Sonar for the sequencer. I hand wrote them for the tune. I usually spend more time on them, but I really wanted to crank this tune out in half a day. There's other songs that need more attention.

Hey thanks for listening! Pissed? :?: I've finally got my GNX presets right where they need to be for minimal mastering now. That saved me a lot of time. I'm going to check out your remix, but my ears are numb from working on this all morning.

Ha ha, thanks buddy, great detective work!

Those songs haven't been updated in a while, but Insidious just hit the Broadjam Top Ten for the Mid-Atlantic region and NJ. Who knows why, but it's cool.

I've always wanted to add ambient sounds to a track, but never remembered when I was actually recording. It really does seem to add to the tune. I think I'll have to try harder to remember for next time.

It's great to be back here Partch! You guys keep putting out great original music. It's a pleasure to listen to you all. 8)

(Ha ha, left as a standalone statement, I think you might get Jer excited.

Anyway, I'm in for whatever.

Cool Jam AC.

I always had a thing for those Celtic melodies.

You got my head nodding and my feet tapping

ACWild · September 2006

Thanks for checking it out Slash. Glad you had fun listening.

I'm thinking about making this a beer anthem. Can you hear a rousing chorus over the chords?

WOGS858 · September 2006

man you really got a handle on mixing

afun jam there--I could see the people skiping around in the tall grass with thier skirts and all. Good job AC

ACWild · September 2006

Hey, thanks for taking the time to check the song out.

I simplified mixing/mastering by taking the time to dial in the GNX presets. Now I can pretty much record my guitar and bass with minimal eq'ing. In fact, with the stock Vpegbass patch, I don't even have to mess with compression.

Ladies skipping around in skirts is a nice visual, but I think you mean kilts.

Thanks for the compliments!

WOGS858 · September 2006

Lets stick with the ladies visual---The alternative makes me want to barf

P.G.Shadow · September 2006

(in my best scottsman voice) Barr keep!! A slice of ye hagis and a pint of ye finest ale tu washer down!!!

ACWild · September 2006

Give me a second to go get my bagpipes!
I loved it, also the cheering at the beginning and the end fits in just perfect !

ACWild · September 2006

Thanks for checking the song out!

It's the first time that I messed with sound samples, but I'm getting a lot of ideas and expect to incorporate them a lot more.
You have bagpipes?

glider007 · September 2006

Well...not really, but for a moment there I wish I had bagpipes

and of course I wish I knew how to play them

Wahaiyi · September 2006

I'm using the GNX 3000 VPEGBass patch with no mods. I love it because I can play my bass straight through it and not have to do anything for mastering. The patch doesn't even need compression for some reason.
If you're still in the mood to punch someone, I've got a list.
