Digital Horror Punk

I should upload some other shit now. It's been a while. I have almost a whole album worth of shit just about Night of the Living Dead, and probably a half album of other shit I did with Zombie movie samples in it.

The Halloween songs I did I do every year for Halloween. When I first started recording music all I had was a shitty PC Mic to record with and I was running Windows back then, so I had to use that fucking Windows Record to make music, and if you have ever used that you know it only allows 60 seconds of recording before it stops on you and makes you do it again. so basically I'd have to use my music making shit to start going, and then, after 60 seconds, I'd have to stop, and then hit Record again to record another minute, so I had to time it where I could put stops into a song every minute and make it sound like it was intentional.

Then I started recording every Halloween with my Cousin, he had a guitar and amp, and I had my Bass and amp, and so we would record, and come up with shit. I still have some of the stuff we made, including me recording some vocals for a cover we did, and it still has the last part of it where we had the cops called on us and me saying "Oh shit" and running and leaving before they showed up.

The recording I do now is way better though. I have a new application that lets me not only use thousands of samples of sounds and FX, but I can record as long as I want, and when I get something going I can add in samples (I spent like 5 hours online looking for Horror movies sound FX and samples) and add those in without having to pause or anything.

So now when I make a song I can do whatever basically. I want to get something that would let me record from my Bass directly into the Computer like bands use, but I don't even know how to start looking for one of those or how much it would probably cost.

When my Cousin would come by and play, I'd make up drums weird. Like, I didn't have a real drum set, so I would use a mix of my keyboard to make drums, and also a trick I made up on a Bass guitar that makes it sound like a drum sometimes. I'd finger mute some of the strings in one spot and Palm Mute another string and strum it with a thicker pick, and sometimes do a finger slap, and if you do it just right it kind of sounds like a drum, so I'd do that for drumming. Now though I have a better program, so I just use actual drum sounds and arrange it and make the beats and then add it where I want which sound and how I want it to sound and how I want it to play (You get a basic sound like a snare drum being hit, so you still have to line it up yourself by hand and play it out like a drum kit but at least it sounds like a real drum)... So that's one of the ways I do drums on those. I can kinda play drums, at least a little, (If I couldn't, it would be pretty hard to make drum beats lol) and I play Bass and some Guitar which is how I can make those sounds up, and also I can play Keyboards a little bit so I can do that too.
