Re: Your music creation history

I'm bad at years, but: 1993ish - formed a band with two of my cousins (and initially also my two sisters, but they dropped out early on), named ourselves Blacksand after a fantasy role-playing game handbook, recorded a terrifyingly extensive 90-minute album (gotta fill up the whole tape!) called 'Bl...

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020

Live chat replay is working now! So now I can respond to you ghosts: @Ken - the electric guitar I played on the Vowl song is an Eastwood Wandré. @Truth - the bass is a short scale Squier Jaguar. @glennny - sorry I didn't get the cats in there. One of them watched most of my set from the windowsill! ...

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020

There should be a "Live Chat" link / button, depending on how you're watching. You may also need to swap from "top chat" to "live chat" to see all of the messages. It still hasn't appeared for the latest stream but it's there for the previous three (and the Seth Gibbs t...

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020

For longer videos it usually takes them a while to show up, I think. Or at least that has been my assumption, maybe there's also an admin setting that needs turning on!

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020

sleepysilverdoor mentioned Openshot over on the Discord, which is another free video editing option that looks more user-friendly than VSDC. I've been really happy with VSDC thus far (especially now that I've sorted the export settings, thanks to fluffy's advice) but it definitely doesn't feel like ...

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020

I only did three songs but somehow my export was over 2GB. I ran it through a converter and then it was much smaller. Hopefully it did exactly what fluffy just suggested.

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020

I have a short three-song set uploading now. Hope that's still OK to get into night 3!

Used this free / cheap video editing software which seems pretty well equipped, just mentioning here in case that's useful to anyone.

Re: Graphite vs Charcoal (Let's Call It A Draw reviews)

Brown Word and the Big Whine : tuba bassline works well and this has excellent energy, especially in the chorus. The vocal layering sometimes gets a bit sloppy and the lead guitar is a bit thin (or is some of that violin?) but generally I enjoyed this, definitely one of my favourite Brown Word song...

Re: Subscribe to our YouTube channel

I have a couple of recent SF songs recorded live too, feel free to include in the stream or ignore if not needed:

Your Discarded Cigarette

The Dregs

Hoping to record something new for one of the other streams but I dunno, things are a little difficult right now.

Ahaha. Just my luck to get a song entirely made up from voicemails. I have no idea how to approach this, but I will... try. Something.

Re: OK partner, (Let’s Call It A Draw prefight)

In for my first fight in a while. My unusual instrument is a Lorenzo Reed Organ. Probably not as strange as some of the other picks but it's an odd little thing and I don't use it that often.

Re: Circle of Titles - The Return

Yeah it gets wiped every year, same with FAWM. There's an archive function to save the previous year's comments etc but unfortunately you would have needed to know that two months ago for it to be any use. It runs 4th July to 1st October.
