I've reached a snag too. Samaritans is shut on Sundays, but on weekdays I work between 10:00 and 12:00. Coincidentally, these are the shops opening hours. If I want that toy, I either wait until Wednesday, or send my sister on an errand to buy it. Wednesday is my day off work, so if I start on Tuesday afternoon I'll get the full 24 hours. Thursday is my deadline for having uploaded my album. Khar should have finished his, so there should be at least two completed albums by the end of the week.

I leave town on thursday and don't get back until sunday, so I think the only real possibility for this is skipping wilco on wednesday and recording it then.
I am totally going to do this.

I like this idea. I suggested unicorns and a middle earth saga with D and D members, cloaks and what not.
But what about doing this again? Only with a theme in mind...like only using sounds/lyrics of the sounds/words you hear around you every day. And just hope someone says something creative.
P.S. don't skip wilco.

^yeah I was in the studio last thursday recording my bass parts for a few of my band's songs... but I want to make this all solo stuff - see how far i get.
So far it looks like I will be making noises with the following:
-Fruity loops
-Banjo
-P-bass
-Piano accordian (got it today, have NO IDEA how to use it yet)
-Sqier Strat
and recording them with my Zoom H4.
Things could get messy.

I've decided I can't let you twats have all the fun.
I have reformed my comedy band, INABIAL, who split a couple years back, and today we had our first couple of hours. We have a phenomenal workrate - becuase we play and record badly - and it's going to end up being fucking epic. And I'm going for a full hour instead of 30 minutes. Songs set to be included are: 'Undressing In The Dark' parts one and two, 'Pretentious, Moi?' and possibly 'Cats That Look Like Hitler,' but that one's a bit shit even by our deliberately bad standards, so it'll probably get cut.

They weren't supposed to be, but by the time I came to the mastering stage, I thought my arms were five metres long and my computer was screaming at me. I would have put something in, but that would have meant breaking the 24hr rule. Consider it a jazz improvisation on 4' 33". |

Hey, man, to each their own. Do your thing, not what you think would be the coolest.
I have until 5:50 tomorrow night to complete my album. I have a one minute track. Also, I'm not going to call this album "music" so much as "artistic sound".

I used A-Mail to buy the music toy thing I showed you on the last page. It's pretty loud, but the sound quality on it is terrible, it has a one octave keyboard that you can't change the settings of, only the tone, has no sustain and only plays the note for about a second. It had a small library of sound effects, included techno drums, traffic noises, sirens, scratching records etc, several horrible obnoxious techno beats pre-programmed into it and a disc on the top that plays one of two programmed sound effects depending on which way you spin it.
It's a horrible cheesy techno music generator in the form of a children's play toy.
I intend to record at least one song using it, if not an entire album.

Sox, that instrument sounds awesome. Any plans to circuit bend it? It sounds like an ideal candidate.
It reminded me I've got a beat up Yamaha PortaSound I found on the street, which I might use to have a crack at this album thingy this weekend.

Same. It's not helping that halfway through a song, something changed (with the mic? amp? guitar? no idea) so now my guitar tone completely changes half way through the song. oh well. |

Yeah, but this thing is glued shut. I'd like somebody that has experience taking things a part so as not to shatter the decades old plastic casing.
I've run into a pretty big problem with one of my guitars. It's the one I was going to use for finger picking. A steel string acoustic guitar, I just restrung an hour or two ago. I moved down a few gauges in string size because I play a lot lighter than I did when I opted to buy the 'Not even Slinky' and I wanted a different tone. Now the first four frets of the E and A strings buzz loudly, as do random frets littered around on B and e.
Suggestions?

Okay, I had a read of this "fret not" guitar repair site, and it sounds like it could be any number of things. But I am not qualified to make ANY of these adjustments. I'll take it to the store once I am able to afford the necessary adjustments. Which could be a while, I am penniless and make about £25 a week. Any more suggestions?

I haven't cut off the excess, but you're talking in a language I don't understand now. I'm gonna take it to the store for a set-up and ask if I can watch everything they do for education purposes.
What this means to you guys is that I can't finish my album unless I come up with another idea.
