My Madtracker Songs |
 |
[edit by Inge: changed the download location of its music. direct downloading is now possible]
Hello Everybody,
This is my first post. I have been coming here for a few years and have been in "lurk mode." 
First let me start off by thanking Yannick for creating Madtracker...I use it everyday and have been for quite some time. It does everything that I need it to do and often times..much more.
If you want to check out some songs that I have made with Madtracker go to http://quinone.madtracker.net/davidswain/index.htm
information about me is available at: http://davidswainmusic.freeservers.com
Any feedback positive or negative is more than welcome. Any ideas as to how I can improve the songs is not only welcomed but wanted. I like this forum, so I will probably start posting more often.
Peace |

I don't like soundclick (meaning I have to create an account first). So only downloaded A Space Rock I found in a tin can from the other site (the others didn't work) and I must say it sounds pretty good.
I assume you recorded the guitar parts. Everything else is done with madtracker? |

w0000000000000000000000t!
Dutch biggest Weblog Retecool.com has posted David Swain's music on its frontpage (after some, er, pushing of the main author of the site to David's music by, er, someone  )! This is both great news for David as for MadTracker.
w00000000000000000000000t!

Yep, I recorded all the guitar parts and did everything else with Madtracker.
Once I get a good singer, I am going to go back and update some of the songs...so it is not so "movie music" sounding. But I do this for the fun of recording, as it is my favorite thing to do. If people actually like it, that just makes it all the better.  |

I'm not really sure...whatever fits the songs. I hope to form an actual band eventually and start playing out again. My 1st year at med-school ends in about 2-3 weeks and then I am going to do some serious "band shopping." Right now I just do not have the time to invest into a band..but this summer I will have plenty of time.
Do you have any recommendations for the singing parts? |

Well, I haven't checked out your music yet, but will right after I post this. I presume this is the music you need vocals on. Do you have lyrics to them? |

Thanks for checking them out. In answer to your questions, yes, those are the songs that I would like to put vocals on and no, I do not have any lyrics.
I can write music all day....but I can't write lyrics to save my life. I attempted to write lyrics in my first band, back in high-school....and uhhh...they REALLY sucked!!! So, I am hoping to meet a very talented individual one day who can sing AND write lyrics...then I will be really happy.
Peace |

Ok, thanks for the info. I've listened to about half of your mp3's and they sound good. Cello and Chicago have that New Age guitar folk ethnicity that sounds somewhat like what Mars Lasar (www.marslasar.com) has done, such as in his Olympic National Park tribute CD.
As for the singing, the reason I asked is because I sing. Not enough exposure and experience yet, but I can hit them damn notes on key most of the time, heh. No, I'm not requesting to be your next singer, but would have loved to try out singing to your music IF they had lyrics. Anyway, I like to emulate alternative/prog rock vocal leads, such as Rob of Matchbox20 and JR of Dishwalla (JR has had 9 years of classical/operatic training). You might remember "Counting Blue Cars" from the mid 1990's.

Holy Crap!! That retecool.com plug generated a lot of downloads yesterday. At my soundclick site alone, I got over 400 downloads...a far stretch from my usual 10 a day.
Thank you Inge for all of the great help you have recently supplied me with. I owe you big time!
(grinning ear to ear right now)
Peace

Holland is small, but Retecool has a few thousands visitors per day. Don't underestimate the power of windmills and cheese

You don't owe me. Your music is just plain good. Period.

Remix anyone? |
|
Hey Everybody,
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in remixing/reworking or remastering some of my songs. There are so many talented people here that can do things musically that I could only dream of with Madtracker. It would be really cool to see what a lot of you could do with my music/samples and it would fun to collaborate with such a diverse group of musicians.
It could also be a new and fun experience for some of you because I use a lot of guitar stuff that I play and record myself (many of my songs have over 10 separate guitar tracks that are mixed together). I see all kinds of possibilities with combining guitar loops with Madtracker instruments/beats/etc.
If you are interested, either respond here or email me at: davidswainmusic2@yahoo.com and we will work out the details about getting you my MT files.
Peace,
David
ps: some of my mp3s are at: http://quinone.madtracker.net/davidswain/index.htm (thanks to Inge) if you want to get an idea of what you will be working with. |

Ok, just now I listened to more of your music. I think it's great quality stuff. Very nice indeed...
As always I'm certainly interested in remixing only my skill level isn't very high (in fact, it's very low). But I hope to improve a bit over the summer
