[Volt]

Yeah, normally my band's production goes drum>bass>guitar>vocals>extra sounds

[Not Jason]

people realize I was joking right?

[I like ozma]

[Cantinflas Jim]

[WhoYouCallinWeez]

[icecreamman]

people realize I was joking right?

Yeah, but you have to admit people's reactions were pretty comical, right?

[bulb dylan]

grating. grating. grating.

[Cantinflas Jim]

thank you

[The Other Mike]

I dunno hipsun, the way I record is I start with the overdubs, then I do the vocals.  Drums usually go on somewhere in post.

you use drums?

[I like ozma]

if you listened to his songs you would hear the "drumlike" beats.

[CT-700]

Drums programmed via MicroKorg, correct?

[hipsun]

[I like ozma]

"not a song by ozuhmah"

[WhoYouCallinWeez]

haha. awesome vid, but i still have yet to hear this notorious "coffee shop girl". should i avoid it at all costs?

[Zombie Don Ho]

don't bother.

This is a rad video.

[Cheese]

Holy crap, check out that finger picking.

Dan is a very good guitarist.  Thank you for the video, keep posting them.

Incorrect.  The MicroKorg has no sequencer, let alone drum sounds.  My beats are sequenced in FL studio.  I use primarily TR909 samples and homemade samples from my SR-16 (which isn't that stellar a drum machine, but it's got some good punchy sounds in it.  I rarely sequence on the actual drum machine, too much of a pain in my ass).  I plan on heading into my friend's basement studio to record professional quality songs with him providing live drums.  Anyway, that answers anybody's questions about my drums.  This thread, however, is not about my music, and there is a good reason for that (my music is very boring).  Anyway, I thought the idea of recording "overdubs" before any actual base level recording was absurd enough to qualify it as a joke, but I apologize for any ambiguity.

i used to think it really sounded like ozma, but not so much anymore.

[I like ozma]

[CT-700]

Yeah. I was very inpressed. And Ryen was hilarious with the whole Coffee Shop part.

[I like ozma]

ozma should just cover coffee shop girl.

[WhoYouCallinWeez]

yea, i gave in and listened to Coffee Shop Girl. not the worst song ever written

[Kyosho]

If I'm not mistaken, that guitar Dan is playing is one of those $30 First Act child's guitars that you can buy at Walmart. In fact, I have the exact one sitting here beside me. Though I converted it to a baritone ukulele because the strings were too close together for my large fingers.

Edit: You know, maybe not. On re-watching it looks slightly bigger than mine. So, perhaps not.

It's a nylon string guitar.  As a rule, nylon string guitars run much smaller in size than your average steel string.  Another give away is that it's got the slotted headstock with sideways mounted tuning machines.  Any steel string guitar at that size would most likely be a fairly cheap guitar, but it's near impossible (unless you recognize the brand, which I don't) to speculate on the value of it.  That could likely be an very expensive high quality guitar.  The FirstAct ones, if I'm not mistaken, are all steel string guitars.  I bought my girlfriend one that's shaped like a strawberry for christmas.

Ethan just got a First Act guitar.  It has flames on it.

[CT-700]

Its funny how FirstAct's most excessible gear for the public are those crappy walmart packs, yet their other guitars/basses are $2000+ custom shop models used by various professionals. Why is there such a gap in quality?

i kind of like that though.  To be fair, their cheap instruments aren't that bad, they are just cheap and the features reflect that.
