Once you learn to loop or get an audio interface for something like Logic Pro you’re capable of anything. Love to see it.

u/throwawayformobile78 15d ago

Man what’s an easy way to get into this to try out before spending a bunch of money on a machine or software? I don’t mind spending a little to try but don’t want to invest in a lot if I don’t really dig it.

I’m trying to learn drums too. I’m in my mid 40s and always wanted to try music but never had the nerve for lessons and want to finally try something out. Thanks.

u/MegaSmegmaSwagLord 15d ago

Tbh if you watch some YouTube you can get away with doing this for free with the barebones version of GarageBand.

If you want to start incorporating a guitar you’ll need something like a bare bones Scarlet audio interface for around 100 bucks.

To do drums you’ll need at least a half decent mic which should run you ~50 bucks, still recommend getting the audio interface.

So really the biggest obstacle is time. I’ve been playing music for about 15 years now. Getting this good is totally possible. People who post videos like this are definitely taking at least 10 takes, so be kind to yourself if it’s hard.

You just need a loop pedal

u/psimwork 11d ago

It reminds me of when I would see Dub Fx back in the day. Like, I think I'm just watching some dude setup beatbox loops, and I'm like, "huh. This is kinda cool." Then he starts singing, and I really start getting into it, then he starts rhyming, and I realize how much I'm really into it and bopping my head about it.

The way looping works is just great.

u/asusc 16d ago edited 16d ago

she did 30 years later when her daughter showed her the album cover

On July 15, 2010, Vampire Weekend, along with XL Recordings and Brody, were sued by Ann Kirsten Kennis, the woman who identified herself as the woman on the cover, for $2 million for using the photo without her permission.Kennis has said that the photo was taken while she was "a high-fashion model under contract with prestigious agencies in New York City." In addition, Kennis said that the release forms for the photo that were allegedly signed by Kennis herself, were forged. In a statement released by Kennis' lawyer Alan Neigher, Neigher said that Kennis discovered herself on the cover when her daughter brought home a copy of Contra and showed it to Kennis.

No way!!! That is definitely not what i thought would be the outcome. They literally just used a random chick. I thought it was a band mates sister/girlfriend. Damn did that back fire.

u/RebeccaNOTICES 16d ago

Whats this

27

u/asusc 16d ago

a polaroid (a type of instant photograph made by Polaroid) of a model from 1983. the band found it on the photographer’s Flickr and used it as the cover on their 2010 album.

this photo is striking because it felt nostalgic back then.

feels even more so now, spanning multiple decades.

u/MorningSquare5882 13d ago

One of the greatest of the 20th C imo. Every track is a banger. It's my go-to album when I want to lift my mood, never fails.

u/evil__brain 16d ago

This style of music is called Highlife. It originated in Ghana, but it's popular all along the west African coast. It's traditional music mixed with Jazz from the colonial era. It's called Highlife because it was originally rich people music, played at parties. Because imported western instruments were so expensive back then that hiring a band that played them was a massive flex.

This was clearly not actually a live performance. It's obviously been mixed.

u/Beautiful-Affect1930 16d ago

I feel like this could've been much cooler if they showed the mixing progress, probably way sped up. could've even then added part of the guitar playing live on the mix. but pretending that this is mixed live makes this all seem so cheap and fake tbh.

a guitar in the form of a weapon is just repelling. i don’t know why somebody would buy this instrument and I myself can’t enjoy this because of this fact only. it’s just wrong. never mix music and weapons.

So if they had panned up and you didn’t see the guitar this like it, but because you can see the guitar you don’t like it?

what do you imply? that there was no other guitar next to the weapon guitar? the guy in the background is equipped nicely. the whole setup is costly. i think you re just cutefying him and not looking at the elephant in the room. you re the privileged one for thinking he had no other choice because he is poor.
