Horns Keys and Rhythm section recorded on a Fairlight music computer.
Vocals and guitars recorded at Atlantis Studios South Melbourne.

It is tough being a solo artist cos you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Slawie, Very nice songs and recordings. Both had good swing. Congratulations! Art
ps: is there more?

slawie · « **Reply #3 on:** July 21, 2010, 06:24:07 PM »

There is more but Musolist will only allow 2 tracks at a time.
I will remove those 2 and post others later.

Very nice and well crafted songs. I agree that it can be tough writing/recording songs as a solo artist: especially when your main instrument serves more of a rhythm role. You have to constantly remind yourself that the goal is a good song... not (necessarily) a platform for showing-off your chops (that's what guitard players are for!!!). I nearly always go back and re-record my bass tracks with much simplier lines after a song has taken-on its final form.

If you set-up a Facebook page you can share your tracks (best I can tell, unlimited uploads) via several different applications: iLike links to FB by a Music tab and Reverb Nation will link by a My Band tab. I like Reverb Nation the best. You can actually make a little money (VERY little... I've made about 13 cents) based on the number of plays you get.

What's a Fairlight music computer?

Nice! Common Goal sounded good, I couldn't get the other track to play.
MySpace will let you upload up to 10 tracks (if you register as a band/performer). I routinely post tracks from my latest shows there.

Mike (dadabass2001) try clicking on the next track symbol instead of selecting (Scrolling to)the track.
That is the little triangle with the bar thingy.

I stripped the songs off musolist cos it was causing problems with the tunes messing up.
I am setting up a MyFace or Spacebook.
