hey people well finally i've been able to get some of my analog stuff recorded - me and my mate Scott were doing a jam session today, him on his bass and my girlfriend's microKORG while i was on the analog gear i don't think zebox allows direct linking anymore, so i'll just give you guys the link to my first 4 tracks are the ones in question here oh yeah, this is the first time i've ever worked with anyone in a "jam session" environment, so expect some shitness/fuckups but at least you guys can't say i'm just sitting on my gear doing fuck all :) |

thank you mate i'm hoping this will turn into a kind of side project thing :) could be very interesting...can't wait to throw the machinedrum into the mix too, but that'll have to wait until i can grab it from my dad's place |

i expect some heavy 303 and bassguitar duets, since the little silver box was meant to be exactly that in the end :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
there is some 303 + real bass action in there...think that's with number three, although i can't quite remember it was fucking ace anyways, sat there for like 4-5hours just making noise |

hehe had to come back home at some point today! i was starving if you can get some gear do it man - well i find it more productive than sitting in front of Reason or something and i still say that the 808 is the most fun to program out of all the stuff i have (Laura likes it too) |

however i think the tracks could use some improvement, i still kinda like them, probably track 4 the most. The problem is that the bassguitar is abit low on the first track, and well..... it didn't really catch my attention, aswell as the other tracks. But after doing alot of such jams, you'll get better and better. So far, good job, but it needs work meng. |

It doesn't matter how good the tracks are, it's on analogue gear, ergo, it's acid great. |

that's true osk, i'll make you a track in the morning, just for the fun of it |

Ok, here are my thoughts: Jam 1: Things are uninteresting until about 1:30 or so. I'd advise maybe shortening that introduction stage. The bass melody is definitely nice. Overall it didn't really keep my interest. Not enough is going on. But you DID say this is a jam session, so I take it was improvised? With that in mind it's definitely got some merit. I can't expect you to be juggling five different instruments at once. Jam 2: I do like this so far (I'm at 50 seconds right now). It's catchy, I like the acidy bass. Not too fond of the ambient pad that's going on in the background (2:20). Not the sound itself -- the sound is fine. The melody just seems really meandering and not really doing anything or going anywhere. It's like just added noise. Again though, I'm getting bored. Not much is really changing except for some whirring effects on the pad and increased squelchiness to the bass. Not enough is going on to keep me interested. Jam 3: Same thing. Not enough going on. Too repetitive. Jam 4: This beat is better than the ones I've heard on the other tracks. Still though, nothing really happens. I can see how this'd be interesting if you were MAKING it, but it's not interesting for me to listen to in my bedroom here. I do like the beat on this one though. |

yeah, i know...that's why i put a disclaimer saying that they'd probably not be the best stuff you've ever heard in all honesty that was the first chance i've had to actually have most of the equipment all hooked up together and playing. thanks for listening and giving feedback though :) hopefully next jam there'll be more improvement |

thank you for giving me a really in depth review on this stuff yeah this is the first time i've ever really worked with anyone else musically, so it was pretty new to me. the first three tracks where improvised yes....the last one, number four i had already pre-programmed that beat at home ages ago when i first got the 808...scott did his thing with the bass over that one and there ya go overall considering my lack of practice, and as it was my first time doing anythig like this i'm quite pleased with the outcome i hope to be able to bring you all some more stuff in the coming weeks :D |

yea there are some nice ideas, but none of these are tracks to me, its like an audio drafting book. nice ideas, but nothing complete, and thus found hard to listen to |

it sounds a bit flimsy, i don't really think jams like this should be released because they just end up dragging on without much change/interesting stuff going on. it's fun to jam, but if you're not some insane 70s prog rock band or a jazz instrumentalist or something, it'll sound terribly monotonous to everyone else. |
