The rubber band in the new version is much more on pitch and easier to listen too. Maybe we've found a good use for Autotune. :lol:]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Hobson https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w49-loud-enough/#post-385464 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w49-loud-enough/#post-385460 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:08:02 +0000 I'm not sure what you're using for the rubber band sound It's a rubberband with pitch shift
the discordance is very off putting to me. Same for the uke, I tried to fix it a bit.
It would be more effective if instead of this:
But it wasn’t loud enough for me I was thinking the singer was saying it wasn't loud enough, but it's ok to think the muse/Melody was saying not loud enough.....

......so ***poof changes made*** :mrgreen:

Thanks for the listen and post.

=====Revised Version=====

When I was a young boy I found a rubber band
I liked the rubber band sound it made when I slapped it with my hand
I fell in love when she appeared and her name was Melody
She said I like the way you play that thing
But it isn’t loud enough for me

I found a ukulele and I gave up my rubber band
I liked the ukulele sound it made when I slapped it with my hand
I played that ukulele; I played for Melody
She said I like the way you play that thing
But it isn’t loud enough for me

I found a dulcimer and laid out my dulcimer plan
I liked the dulcimer sound it made when I slapped it with my hand
I played that dulcimer; I played for Melody
She said I like the way you play that thing
But it isn’t loud enough for me

I laid my eyes on a Spanish guitar it came from a foreign land
I liked the romantic sound it made when I slapped it with my hand
I played that Spanish guitar; I played for Melody
She liked the way I plucked those strings
But it isn’t loud enough for me

I tried my luck with a folk guitar and I joined a folksy band
I liked the folksy sound it made when I slapped it with my hand
I played that folk guitar; I played for Melody
She said I like the way you strum those chords
But it isn’t loud enough for me

I sold my soul for rock n’ roll and joined a rock n’ roll band
I liked the rockin’ sound it made when I slapped it with my hand
I played that rock guitar; I played for Melody
I never heard the door slam when she walked out on me
