CHOUT 03.21.2006 08:57 PM

I'm in a duo called Small White, and we currently use drum machines for timekeeping, though I think we finally found a drummer who is quite great.

I play both guitar and bass in the band, since we both write songs and switch instruments. I never wanted to be in a band that switches instruments, but it makes for some nice variety.

We don't try to sound like anything in particular, but I guess we would both agree that R.E.M. and Sonic Youth are two of our biggest influences.

I also do my own recordings, which I like to call my 'one man band' rather than 'solo'.

I also have a homemade label where I sell a bunch of mine and my
friends' cds for cheap prices.

Obtuse... :P

For drum programming, I'd look at either Reason (obviously) or FruityLoops (better for my purposes). They take VSTi instruments, do sampling, offer a shit-load of features, allow sequencing... worth checking out.

I use SoundForge to edit mainly.

Of course, you'll be using trial versions of all of these programs. ...Naturally.

Nah, you can get full versions off of Limewire.

Not in a band, I just write my own songs, perform (guitar, bass, drums) & record them.

Inhuman 03.21.2006 10:30 PM

I'm in a band that I just play for because I like playing guitar. I don't actually like the stuff we produce, but hey, it's good experience.

marleypumpkin 03.21.2006 10:31 PM

I'm gonna call my solo, one man band, Dislodgement.

John Violence 03.21.2006 10:37 PM

I didn't realize CHOUT was in small white. You guys are good! I play guitar in a band called Sone.

hey alex 03.22.2006 12:55 AM

I have my 4-track project, electric kites
http://www.myspace.com/electrickites
Someone on the old board said it "sucks with potential" and that'sa bout right. I play everything and what not... and once I get around to doing some more recording I'll start talking about it again.

I jammed with some friends today and it was really awesome. We got this one very yo la tengo-like groove going on that we jammed on for like 10 minutes, and with barely changing the bass line ^_^. Next time we jam I'm setting up my 4-track.
