I'm using MultiTrack on Project 52 - a song a week

[project52]

Week 18 song "Foothold" is now up and mellow. Written and performed mostly with my baritone guitar. Thanks again everyone for stopping by. Let me know if anyone gets a Mikey v2. I'm eager to hear how it performs and how well the input works.

Thanks,

Corey

Hi everyone. Week 19 - Island is up and another rocker. It's a more straight up rock tune in the vein of, I don't know, like the Afghan Whigs or Husker Du or something. I don't know, what do you guys think it sounds like. I'm at a bit of a loss.

Your music is cool.
I'm so lovin the multitrack app!

Thanks Jim. Good to see you over on Soundcloud too.

Week 20 is up now. Stop on by if you have a second.

Thanks,

Corey

I just posted week 21 last night. Thanks everyone for following along. I'm really enjoying this project even though the time crunch can be crazy stressful at times. I would've loved to have tweaked this mix a little more, but I had six minutes left in the day when I posted it! Good news is I think the drum sound is coming along.

Week 22 is up and sounds to me a little bit like The Cars. Stop on by and enjoy the ride (sorry, couldn't resist).

I really enjoy these recordings. Both as songs and technologically in regards to iPhone-fi recording.

The anecdotes and technical notes add a lot as well.


Also, the RSS feed with the mp3 links is much preferable to the YouTube versions when listening from the iPhone. The compression on the YouTube loses a lot of what you are doing.

One comparison that came up during a couple of songs is Dinosaur Jr. Definitely also Husker Du. But the sound is definitely uniquely yours.

I'm going to post a few of my multitrack results this month, thanks for the inspiration.

Week 23 is up and features a toy orchestra!

Thanks juicymichole for following along. I just picked up Husker Du's Zen Arcade on vinyl and am digging it so far. It's funny. They're one of those bands that I was too young to know about when they were current, but they influenced so many of the bands that I was into.

I frequent the restaurant of Grant Norton from time to time. Hard to believe he was in Husker Du. Great place. He mixes wonderful cocktails.

Week 24, a cheesy little pop rocker, is up on the blog. I write about Blue Mikey's failure in recording drums. Has anyone picked up Mikey v2 yet?
