Musicians for Katrina Relief

[AllenPOPO]

koolkeys thanks for the kind words....trust me, im not big on any politician really, i really used bush in there because he has to do with this catastrophe(could have easily been Kerry if you know what i mean), and i thank you for not going bonkers if a disagree with a policy or two

but i think its a cool track and should give some action to the cd...

we could definitely hook up sometime i go to nasheville Tennessee occasionally and its not far at all

glad to be a part of this. i hope no one finds it innapropriate i really put my heart into it and spoke what i felt, which is a big part of hip hop...well the good hip hop anyway

Yeah, if you're ever in Nashville, let me know. Now, I don't write hip-hop. More acoustic contemporary(listen to my track for a sample). But I like "good" hip-hop, the kind where swearing isn't every other word, and a better message. Kind of like Will Smith style, if you know what I mean.

Koolkeys

[AllenPOPO]

oh yeah your track is very nice...i see why your name is koolkeys

[koolkeys]

Thanks!:D

[xander]

Well, since the Salvos believe in God, they're out -- that right?

OK

Let's donate the proceeds to The Atheist Foundation, since they were so f**king busy there in New Orleans risking their lives to help the hungry, wounded and dying, and are dedicated to saving lives and helping the needy.

No -- sorry, I DIDN'T think this would come up. I thought naw, no one would be THAT petty-minded at a time like this...

Man. Whatever

Moving on...

Good morning.

[xander]

Very simple, and yet it's all that is needed. I like it. I'll add it to my site. Of course, I have to upload my new site before I do. But I will add it.

Koolkeys

Very nice KK In fact, it's beautiful.

Added.

Anyone listening to all the tracks as they go? Awesome segue. This is going to be a very fine CD.

[xander]

my track is done finally!

i hope its appropriate...but i had to release myself...plus its not too vulgar, anyway.

here's the ruff mix that I did:

The Waiting Game

ill be sending the tracks to the ftp for mastering (cuz, again, i suck) ;p

peace guys

Allen

I can't get this link to work. A little help here please?

Cheers,
Alex

I doctored the link a bit and got it using that address. At least that's how I listened to it.

Koolkeys

[koolkeys]

Oh, and for his link, it put a space before "game" and you can't click on it, you have to paste it in, since it's a long link and the forum doesn't take it all.

I haven't heard from Totc in a couple days. He must be busy. I will go ahead and post the FTP info. Here goes:

Server: 65.254.59.234
Port: 21
User ID/Login: katrina@audiopedia.org
Password: relief

************NOTE:*******Make sure you upload a full wav file mixdown. If possible AT ALL, don't use mp3 as your upload. Yes, the files are bigger, but that's fine. It helps with the end quality of mastering. Upload AT LEAST 44.1khz and 16 bit*******************

That should be all you need. If you DON'T know how to use FTP, or if you can't get access to it, please PM me and I can give you my address to send me a CD.

Be gentle to the server. If it's going unusually slow in the next couple days, then maybe hold off. That means others are probably trying to upload all at once. It SHOULDN'T slow down too much, as it's a very fast server. But please, don't feel you HAVE to do it by tomorrow. Just find the time in the next four days or so to do so. I'll post here which songs are there and which are still needed after a bit.

PM me if you have any questions.

[rockstar_not]

Here is my first crack at the concept of the song I'm working on. I want to get some feedback as to whether to clean this up a bit, or start from scratch.

Concept:

Katrina refugee finds himself hundreds of miles away, and seeks out a piano. Noodles around on some sad chords and sings this lament to himself.

After a couple of minutes, a guy comes up and says that he noticed the refugee's playing, etc. Eventually invites him to join in with his buddies at an open mic night, takes his cell phone number, etc.

Please have a listen and be honest. I've never ever had anything released to CD, and I don't want this to be an embarrassment to the relief effort.

Originally I tried doing this on guitar and my playing is too crappy to make it work - so piano it is.

Vocals would need re-work, piano fat-fingers and velocity farts need work. Fade in needs work, but I just want to know if the concept works, or if this is too sad (but happier at the end) for the CD.

Home Again

[koolkeys]

xander, did you see my note about his link above? It does work, just that the forum messed it up and it was typed in wrong. But I can access it using what I posted above. Don't forget to take the space out from before "game". The forum did that, don't know why.

Koolkeys

[xander]

Koolkeys ===> Can you go ahead and PM Newbie Brad with the FTP details? He has a big wav file he needs to upload before he goes traveling.

Cheers,
Alex

Oh... sorry - you already posted it above

need....more....coffee

[koolkeys]

Scott, I like your song. I don't think the voice needs much work. I would keep the reverb, but make it a bit more dry. I don't think it needs anything else that I can tell. I love piano/voice songs(as you can tell with mine). Oh, and make sure you saw the FTP info above for your final wav file. Thanks!
