Poisoned Soul

This song was remastered with additional tracks in December 2008. It has a real bass track in it which makes it complete musically. The bass of the song was originally substituted with extra guitar tracks, this made the track sound 'muddy'

No Good Woman

I have contemplated remastering this track, but feel it is better left alone. It has a raw sound which makes it unique. The solo is also very raw but again, unique.

FAQ

Why would I need a license?

A license is needed if you want to use the music for anything else than just listening for your pleasure. Typical uses are

freestyling over a beat
licensing music for use in TV or for a movie
remixing or use audio samples

What are the license options and what are the differences between those?

We offer up to 5 license templates (Basic, Premium, Track Out, Unlimited, Exclusive) and it's up to the artist which ones he/she wants to make available. Each license comes with different perks. In general, the higher the price, the better the perks.
You can click on each feature on the left side of the comparison chart above to learn more about each one.

When will I get the track I purchased?

You can download all related files immediately after your purchase. We also email you a one-time download link for a download later.

How can I remove the audio tag from the track?

A "tagged beat" is a demonstration version of an instrumental that contains distinct audio watermarks that typically play throughout the entire track. The purpose of a producer tagging his/her instrumental is to prevent piracy and to encourage serious recording artists to purchase a license.
To get a tag-free audio please make sure you purchase a license which features "untagged audio".

I purchased a $1 download, why is the beat still tagged?

Beats purchased for $1 in our store are meant for streaming and demo use only, just like downloads from iTunes store or Amazon music.
To license a beat without audio tag and to use in a professional manner please buy a license from this page. Usually those are $25 and up.

What is a stem / trackout file?

A Stem file is an audio file that contains a track split into several musical elements: A drums stem, a bassline stem, a harmony stem, and a lead stem for example.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.

Why would I need a stem / trackout file?

A trackout file gives you much better control. Imagine you rap over a beat and you realize the percussions take the focus away from your vocals. With a trackout file you can simply tone down the percussion and the focus is now on the vocals. With a trackout file you have much more flexibility and a whole different level of control.

The Speakeasy House band

8 songs

My name is Ward and I am the sole musician in "The Speak Easy House Band". These songs are a mix of whatever mood I am in when feeling creative. There is everything from distorted heavy rock, to electric blues, to acoustic folk type melodies. Some of it is instrumental, and some has lyrics. I have attempted to arrange the song list in an order from top to bottom as follows: heavy rock, to acoustic and blues.

Band/artist history

This is a one man in the basement deal, and to record and write as the only contributor takes some time, I'll try to keep this updated with new material as time permits.I am a guitar player first and everything else second. It takes me a while to come up with lyrics, but I'm getting quicker with that.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

he last time I played live for real was at "The Barbecue for the cure" at Whortlekill Rod and Gun club in Hopewell Junction NY. I occasionally wull play live at the house when I have a party and all available musicians are around, namely a drummer and bass buthav ebeen know to just jam with a drummer and me on vocals and guitar...:)

Your musical influences

Sabbath,Zeppelin,Rainbow,Ozzy,Dio, Sex Pistols,Deep Purple,Aerosmith,Boston, Van Halen, Faces, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Elvis , Beatles, The Beach Boys, Cream, Jimi Hendrix etc.I grew up in the 80's and still listen to that type of Heavy guitar rock that was poular then,I'm very guitar and drum oriented and influenced

What equipment do you use?

I play Fender guitars. Mainly Stratocasters, or Stra t variants. I have a Charve l SoCal, as well as a few Squiers, a Stra t and a Tele. I have a Les Paul for when the mood arises. Electronics, I use various brands. You can never have enough stomp boxes. Boss, Digitech, Ibanez, Dunlop, RD Electronic, MXR. To make a few. Marshall, Peavey, and Crate amps. Ludwig drums, Boss drum machine.

Anything else?

It is challenging being a one man recording act, and I can hear mistakes in the recordings, so go easy on them, It can be time consuming putting these songs down and I sometimes wish I could record a whole band live and go back and overdub like Jimmy Page did on Led Zeppelin 1. Anyway if you can listen through the production I think you will find that these are, for the most part, good musical ideas really.
