Y'know, I'll record the backup too, and if leebee's not interested, use them. 

Ok, I just asked her on a project tho ;P

Here's the banner! You guys can use either a dynamic one using random-image.net, or a plain one.

I'm putting up both because the "dynamic" one can only be displayed up to 1500 times a day.    That's a lot though    I'll try making a smaller button-like one now.

EDIT: Added buttons to the main post!

nice! put it in my sig.

so are we gonna make the music videos on scratch, or put them on youtube?

We could do it on both, because although YouTube's great, we're a Scratch Band after all.

Looking back, tehnoguyx, you wanted to make the choruses rockier. How about we make the last chorus have an electric guitar involved? We could brainstorm some lead guitar ideas here, but you'd probably have to be the one to record it as I don't have an electric. (unless you know of a good way to make an acoustic sound electric).

Or we could leave it the way it is, it's up to you.

How's the new snare, jslomba?

Are you guys gonna release an album or something? Like, as an actual band? That would be epic.

I'm not really sure about making them "rockier", though if we wanted it like that just some distorted power chords would be enough. Perhaps I could solo a little over the last chorus, but my electric is missing it's first string... But hey, just yesterday I ran my electroacoustic through a fuzz pedal haha, it feedbacks way too much though.    But recording an acoustic the old way and then distorting the signal won't work. 

I'll have to mix the song with designer's vocals first though, then I can see if having an electric guitar anywhere would work

Eventually, I guess. But since recording just one song is taking a bit too long I can't be really sure.    Hopefully we manage to record at least an EP though

Sorry if this sounds picky, but I don't like it when people don't in clude the 45 an the end when referring to me. Please refrain from that. 

Lol ok. I've been omitting the 45 since this thread started ._.

The song Construction Zone was awesome! I want to hear more!

Uh, that one was actually entirely recorded by me and not by the band    Right now we're recording a cover of a song which you can see in the first post.

EDIT: Here's a roughly mixed WIP version of My Voice to You: http://soundcloud.com/technoguyx/my-voice-to-you-wip

I used MIDI drums while we wait for jslomba's track, and leebee's vocals are still missing.

Sounds cool! I like your mixing, it makes my mistakes less prominent 

So you decided to use the original guitar track rather than the piano track?

I don't think we'd be able to do live concerts, since technoguyx lives in chile.

And I live in CT.

Well, the newer guitar track you recorded seemed to have more mistakes so I figured I'd use the first one you recorded plus the piano track. But I'm not really sure if it sounds well since I panned the piano to the right and my right ear hears less ATM.

Oh...haha...that explains a lot...I was listening through my headphones, and the right earpiece is broken. 

here's the drum part: http://soundcloud.com/jslomba/my-voice-to-you-3. sorry, it sounds a little sloppy because the humidity has been untuning my drums. i sounds good when you mix it with the other parts, though.
