Bars 35-39 are gonna be one of the pieces of lead I'm gonna throw down for this track, just wrote it a few minutes ago.. Wondering how it sounds from ya'll?

Any +1's and I'll use that one forsure. Lemme know!

 

[DanLights]

Sounds great to me, fits pretty well with the song so a +1 from me

 

[JMarz]

Awesomesauce, waitin' on the rhythm scratch tracks then!

Hurryap Skinny Viking, throw the .mid from the drums on that tab onto reaper and get recordin' our scratchies!

 

[Skinny Viking]

^^^ Hey asshole ... I said like 5 times in the other thread I wouldn't be able to even start anything until tomorrow!

For Sneap's sake your mind works faster than your little fingers

I have some tab so I'll start working out a scratch version to some very basic beats TOMORROW ... I'll probably just throw down like 2 tracks with my POD since the drummer just needs something to play along to

Question - Who is gonna be handling all the files and compiling them? Have we decided who should try to mix this tune cause maybe thats who should be getting all the tracks we do as this comes together

 

[DanLights]

Yeah just some scratch rhythm guitars with a POD are enough for the drummer to work too, try to do even the clean parts just for reference.

Good point about the whole files thing, we need someone who will be mixing the song. I can't put myself to do it because of poor monitoring conditions and shitty computer not having enough power for the job, and I want it to sound GOOD, so anyone with enough experience and minimally decent monitoring able to do the job?

if no one else steps up for the file handling / mix part I can give it a shot but I make no promises

 

[DanLights]

Very Well Carlos you are now officially also the mixing engineer to this song, and are in charge of holding all the final files to do the mixing

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!



I'll see what I can do

Dan, don't forget to add Jussi's name for the keys

 

[DanLights]

who?

 

[vespiz]

Me

 

[DanLights]

Oh you! hahaha sorry

Ok I'll add you as keyboardist, I didn't notice when you asked to do keys for this song, sorry it's hard to keep track of everything, right now I'm still sending Pms to everybody involved in the other teams that they're thread are ready

Just so everybody doesn't kill themselves by trying to rush through this if they don't have to; I won't be able to start anything as far as vocal tracking until next week some time. It shouldn't take too long to do it, but I'd like to put in as much time as necessary on it. I have a sordid history of rushing through vocal takes on my own material, and I want to both break that habit and do the song as well as I possibly can.

no worries man ... I still actually have to learn the song which shouldn't take too long but one of my main points I made in the other thread is that I don't see any need to rush this. Thats not saying we should take 3 months or anything, just saying that if it takes a few weeks then thats what it takes for it to sound good. Besides, I think we're the only complete team at the moment

 

[Executioner213]

Did we decide on D standard or Eb?

 

[JMarz]

D#, god fucking damnet.

 

[Executioner213]

Chill out, dude...it's a simple question, and since DanLights stated in another thread that he prefers standard D, I'm just making sure what was decided between him and SkinnyViking.
