Totally Clueless

Hi good people..I'm totally clueless at this recording lark. but as I seem to spend a lot of time in front of a computer that seems to have far more ability than I do in terms of recording stuff, I thought I'd give it a go.

My technique consisted of opening "GarageBand", clicking and dragging repeatedly until something happened...and I just sat and played acoustically in front of the computer and let the mic pic up the sound.  It took a good hour or so to put together a minute long track. There's loads wrong with it, and I'm sure I'm barely scratching the surface of what the software will do.

  • More please.

  • that's GREAT John...basic and gritty sounding, but spaced out and trippy at the same time, love it!! Certainly doesn't sound clueless.

      

  • Well, as regards knowing what I'm doing with GarageBand, I really am clueless....but that doesn't stop me from having a go. Just like making guitars...take some raw materials and meddle about until it makes some sort of pleasing noise...same sort of principle...a lot of serendipity and a disdain for convention seems to work.

    • just had another listen..it's like Olds Sleeper on acid!!

  • lmao your a funny man..... this is good shit. Gotta fly off to work but will thow some percussion at it tonight.

  • Well it sounds like either someone who is totally clueless trying to do something straight or someone who has a great flare for doing something weird and wonderful. I'm not convinced you're clueless John! I really like what you've done, my kinda clueless :)
