[Max Morton]

Good question ^_^

 

[Max Morton]

Tell me what you guys think:

Uploading the wav files now.

I love your grit, it's cool. As for me, just a bit more precise pitch - and it's perfect.

 

[superfreak]

Could you point out the words/lines? From what I heard it's "my mind" that not so precise, but not exactly off... just natural?

 

[Max Morton]

Sure, man. It's not bad or off the pitch, it's just a bit too "rough" in a couple of places:
"...screaming in >>MY<<" one halftone flat (first thought it's sharp but then realised you've modified this vocal line a bit
"..mi->>IND<<" almost halftone flat too
everything else is perfect

 

[superfreak]

Yeah, though so... those two words, as suspected hehe. Thanks Max

 

[Max Morton]

How's it going with the riffs?

 

[superfreak]

I fixed my vocals:

Will shoot my voice for this song on this week.

 

[superfreak]

Singers... please get your parts tracked. I'm going to go ahead and track the entire first verse, just to be safe in case somebody decides to drop out.
Any update on the rhythm? We should have a backup plan in case Gnash can't do it.

Max, I missed your post with the sample of your vocals and I just heard them... you never fail to impress!

 

[Max Morton]

superfreak: thanks, colleague. it's nice participating in one project with you
Gnash told me he'll do the riffs very very soon and it gonna be killer. Could not answer him cos his PM box was full but hope he'll arrive here soon.

 

[superfreak]

superfreak: thanks, colleague. it's nice participating in one project with you

My pleasure. I should correct you though, we are collaborating on two projects... this and (how could you forget!) "We Are Stars"

 

[superfreak]

First verse tracked.

 

[aytchster]

Sarjio! Sounds awesome man!

Thanks Hadi btw you might want to scale down that banner a bit, it's kinda HUGE hehe

 

[superfreak]

Max I think you should mix this song, are you on mixing duty for any other songs in this tribute?

 

[superfreak]

bump

 

[Max Morton]

Max I think you should mix this song, are you on mixing duty for any other songs in this tribute?

Uh pardon, haven't noticed this.
Yeah, I can easily mix, cos I've got my drums, my bass, my lead gtrs here.

Another problem that my PM discussions with Gnash always lead to the same "I'll do riffs soon. I'll do riffs tonight. I'll do riffs soon. I'll do them this evening and send to you". So. It's september 6 already. It's a matter of couple of hours. Should I do the backup riffs so that we can be sure we won't lose a lot of work if we won't receive his riffs?

P.S: cool vocals, man. hope we'll have enough singers not to repeat experience with "Stars"

 

[superfreak]

YES PLEASE! go ahead and track the guitars, can't take any chances. Any word from the other vocalists involved in this song?

Thanks for the comment man! I'm truly enjoying these collaborations, never did something like this before... feels great!

 

[Max Morton]

Here we go: the rough mix with my riffs.

I'm ready to import your singing into the project, hell yeah

 

[superfreak]

That sound fucking awesome! Vox file sent

Btw should I record the stuff in the beginning? "Alright... Rock And Roll" and the one before the second verse "Let It Live"?

I've got to get my voice in shape, no singing for a while and lots of abuse.
