  Ahoy there! Not sure if you're still around, but sorry I didn't have my songs up for download really.It's mostly because I update my songs a lot and I'd hate for someone to have some bad-sounding early version in their records I have the songs up in a 13 song album though rightttt here! http://captainvulpine.bandcamp.com/album/the-aftership-party Thank you again for all the kind words this FAWM, they were inspiring Cheers mate!

  You're welcome. It was not much of a big work anyway!
  
  I thought about the reason of the different volumes... I think that the snare was originally loud, but adding the claps overshoot it volume to other levels.
  I know the compression made it to distort, but there's no way to make it sound more even without making it distorted (with the mp3 file). Anyway, if you listen to the "One by one" album by foo fighters, you'll hear wildly distorted drums (because of compression) there...

  Hey! You can check http://fawm.org/wiki/fawmcast_2012 to see if any of your songs were FAWMcasted this year.

•  robs 2 months ago

  Based on your logo I would have expected at least 7 songs .
  
  You know there are 6500 fawmers with less than 6 songs, so your no loser. Better one song recorded than 1000 unrecorded songs floating around in your head (to paraphrase a well known Dutch saying).

•  pifie 2 months ago

  You can try using audacity. It has an effect that is called 'leveller', which compresses the song slightly, to get it to be 'louder'.
  
  I'm trying to do that to your song, so you can try it. The main issue, tho, is that the drum sounds are way louder than the rest. You could use the leveller on the drums, and then mix it all.
  
  EDIT:
  In particular, the snare is too loud compared to the rest.
  Either way, I uploaded it here: http://sn.im/22jr14t so you can see an example.
  Tell me when you have heard it and I'll take down the file.

  Only six? lol.. that's three times as many as I did.. I need to give your stuff a listen. Thanks for the feedback on "Broken Family". I'm not sure what it means to you, but I'm glad it means something none the less.

  In yet another incident of net.bizarreness, there's this paper.li thing that people use to make little "newspapers" out of tweets and links in them, This one picks up on the hashtag #ymca, and so when I tweeted about your song with that tag, well, it linked to it, along with other stories of YMCA openings and crazy stuff like that:

  Thanks a lot for listening. Almost all of the acoustic guitars I recorded this year were just the signal from the pickup (from my Nylon on Rebellion and Steel String on Nobody Else) through the Fishman Aura Spectrum pedal. This makes for really quick and easy recording with no mic placement issues, background noise problems, etc.
  
  Corpus Christi, I think, was the only track I recorded with a real mic (an Oktava MK012 through an Envoice Mindprint preamp) and I think it sounds quite a bit better than the Fishman stuff. But nothing can beat its convenience.

  Thanks man. Me too! Always something great around the corner.

•  whatsurdamage 3 months ago

  Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my music! I'll have to tell my dad that you listen to his stuff on his site too, he'll definitely get a kick out of that. I'm actually writing a song with him for FAWM and trying to get him into this whole crazy process I'm looking forward to checking out your stuff too when I get a moment.
