jonaswildman just added some drums and electric guitar to this track and I think it sounds bad ass. T-Dog, coffeesp00ns and ghostoffuffle all inquired about being able to work on this one. Who wants to go next? mrjasonetaylor, ecib and bgood79 are all welcome to as well.
Great work Jonas! Thanks for taking it in a cool direction.
Because we have so many talented musicians on Hubski, I have decided to limit this song to those I've shouted out to. That said, please start other collaborative works outside of this project. That would be awesome
https://soundcloud.com/vsns/hubski-collaborate-machine I know coffeesp00ns was gonna add bowed bass before I added my part, but I had the free time, and I took it. Happy to just re-bounce it when sp00ns sends the next version in. On that note, I tried to add on top of T-Dog's version, but the soundcloud was set to private and I couldn't download. So. thenewgreen, I tried to match the EQ values of your vox to a reasonable degree so things didn't sound incongruous. I could cut more frequencies if necessary, so's not to step on stuff. I agree with T-Dog- jonaswildman can make a goddamn guitar line. Jeez. If you listen real hard, you can hear me getting up every fuckin' five minutes to take care of babies. At what age is it okay to send kids to boarding school?
Upon further listening, I can't say enough how much I like those parts and I wouldn't change a thing. I would like to make my background vocal parts go away at the end of the song. Mainly the the response lines like "sharpen up your knives" etc. I think they take away from your part. This is the first time I wish we could have the actual tracks so we could mix etc. Boarding School? Any time/age is equally inappropriate... So why wait? Send 'em away and start working on this.
Glad you like it! As for taking away your vox parts... your song, your decision. But I kind of like those responses at the end.
Dude, this is amazing and it just reinforces how much I want to get all of us in a studio together for a weekend. In a perfect world, that would be easily done and in any world that would be a lot of fun! Great work Fuffle, this sounds awesome. Can you addT-Dog's bass? coffeesp00ns how is your part coming? Also, from where I sit this song needs some mrjasonetaylor magic. You in Jay?
Studio weekend would be fun. Hell of a Hubski meetup...
can I get a copy of ghostoffuffle's part on top of t-dog's stuff? sorry this is taking me a while, I'm having trouble being happy with my takes.
Yeah, gimme a few hours- I'll have time tonight to re-bounce on top of the T-dog take.

Couldn't get the EQ right. i need to spend more time with ProTools. Let me know how you feel about this tng, i can upload the bass stem if someone else wants to mix it better. jonaswildman the guitar noodlings are incredible.
Thanks T-Dog for the kind words! Bass sounds good!
I think the playing is awesome and I think the tone works but if anyone wants to toy with it that's cool too. Great work! This one's coming together. coffeesp00ns you still up for bowed bass? Edit: like I told jonaswildman, let's just have fun with this and not let perfect be the enemy of good. Who is up next? ghostoffuffle, mrjasonetaylor, bgood79, ecib coffeesp00ns?
definitely still up for bowed bass! I'll get to work tomorrow!!
Got an idea for some backing vox tracks that I should have time to throw down this weekend!
Sweet! coffeesp00ns is gonna add bowed bass tomorrow and then you can add the vox this weekend. -perfect! I'm glad you're adding the background vox, I've been hoping you would on one of these.
ghostoffuffle the BPM is 40 The lyrics in case someone wants harmonies etc: Hurry up grab the knife
This fugitive is away
So this is combat
Our knuckles bleeding
False teeth in flight
Hell hath no fury like the night
Her perfume on me
Her perfume's on me
This flesh feels right
No furnace in sight
My body's a machine
My body's a machine
Lying won't help your cause
Just hold your tongue
Words cannot break your fall
Your time has come
Your time has come
I'm going to go away for a while
Don't follow me
You say you don't know who I am
Well that's me
You say you don't know who I am
I am a machine
And I can bite you back
Sharpen up your knives
False teeth and all
Bloody knuckles on your wall
I can tie the knots
Machine....
Alright coffeesp00ns, here's the updated version w/ T-Dog bass. https://soundcloud.com/vsns/hubski-collaborate-machine Happy recording!
