Dio Tribute "Kill The King" Song Discussion

[DanLights]

This thread is for discussion of all matters relevant to the song "Kill the King" to be recorded by a team of Sneap forum members as part of the Sneap Forum Dio Tribute album. Here the team members (preferably the team members only please, unless some cool idea is given by an external person) are to decide tuning/arrangements/whatever and trade the links to finished tracks, scratch tracks, tabs, etc. The person who will mix the final song is to be decided between the team members, be it a member already or not. Also, drums are to be worked out by the members, be it programming it themselves or finding a drummer internal or external to the forum to record it.

Hey guys if you can't find a bassist to do this I could be up for it, but it would be third in priority for me after children of the Sea and Stargazer

 

[Rip-G]

Could I get a simple scratch track (guitar or midi) so I could see what tuning would fit me the best? Standard E and standard D would be cool.

 

[Jevil]

Hey! I didn't know about this song was being covered! This week I will have guitars tracked, D standard will be ok I think.
I will do scratch drums for it.

 

[DanLights]

Jevo I can volunteer to do the bass on this one if you want, cause you're missing a full lineup still. I would do bass after everything else is done (cause I prefer to work that way) and after I have finished the other two I'm working on

Perfecto!

 

[Jevil]

I've found a mid file with drums on internet! So just some small corrections and it will be ok.

Who will mix this? I don't mind doing it myself, but I can't reamp. I can use ampsims.

 

[DanLights]

I don't think many of the songs will be with real amps unless somebody else volunteers to reamp some tracks for us. You're good with ampsims Jevo, you should do it. I vote for you to mix this song

 

[Jevil]

Okey, I did my homeworks. Some little things to polish though, specially drums.


Mixdown MP3, raw as hell: (there is a tiny midi bass that I forgot to mute)

the links don´t seem to be working for me dude, plus you put two dots before "com", even though I fixed that it still doesn´t work

Edit: Nevermind it worked, but you gotta fix that extra dot on the link.

I'll see If I can record a bass track to this this week, this was supposed to be last in my priority list but since the other songs are still under arrangement phase, I might go ahead and do this one first

Fixed.

How many songs will you play on? Is there a lack of bassist?

 

[Paulie!]

Are you guys using a specific tab? if not I'll feel free to wing it on the 2nd solo...

-P

No tabs, free solo!

 

[DanLights]

With this song it would be 3, I don't think there's a lack of bassists, we have plenty on the other songs, but somehow nobody stepped up for this one, and it's a cool song so I have no problem in doing it

 

[Paulie!]

No tabs, free solo!

*mr burns voice* Exxxxxcellent *end mr burns voice*

I'll get to work on this as soon as I finish the scratch tracks for Rainbow in the Dark..

-P

 

[Jevil]

Bump

 

[DanLights]

Sorry I haven't been able to record this week, for many reasons. It will be done tuesday most likely

 

[Jevil]

I'm improving drums.

Paulie, are you alive?

Rip-G, did you ever born?

 

[Paulie!]

I am alive, been dealing with desktop problems.. finally got the tracks for All The Fools to Max this weekend. I'm going to try to get this and rainbow going next... lots of free time tonight so I might be able to get this one done.

-P

 

[Rip-G]

Yeah, sorry, I've had a series of unfortunate events (like getting sick again thanks to the Big Four gig, but it was totally worth it : ). I've started to track vocals yesterday. I will need few days more but I'm on it.
