Ok Guys
I was singing the song here at home and I would really benefit if you could lower a tom, to Gm. Is it possible?

 

[Waterboy]

This is my favorite Dio tune. Don't know why ... but it's just always had that emotional feel IMHO.
Looking forward to hearing!!
Thanks

Scott

I'll do the keys for this. Not much going on there, but hey I'll do it anyways!

 

[mephisto_loh]

Hey i was a full of work the last two dates, but i would like to contribute to this song as well. i can do the mixing, or the mastering. Or if there is needed the second guitar i can do it as well. I hope there is still a chance.

 

[jacare]

Should I track the voice with 44.1k/24 or 48k/24?

 

[Paulie!]

I put dibs on the lead in the other thread, but I don't know if Spamds is doing both parts or not..

normally in the forum we always go 44.1/24, let's try to keep it that way

Mixing and mastering is to be decided by the team of this song and it can be an outside member who is not doing instruments so the team can decide if you want to mix, as for doing more instruments it is already full, thanks

When we'll have drums, I'm ready to do the bass part monday that is, what tuning and what tempo should we settle for?

 

[AllanD]

I'm excited for this one!

 

[mephisto_loh]

really I would love to Mix this one! so, can I guys?

 

[Paulie!]

When we'll have drums, I'm ready to do the bass part monday that is, what {A} tuning and {B}what tempo should we settle for?

A) Jacare requested we change the key from Am to Gm, fine by me, but I only have to play the diddley-doos....

B) The original is at 115 I believe. Personally, I'd like to keep it around there...

I think the original tempo is fine for this song... if you want to change it, I'd speed it up, never slow it down. But very little. As about the tunning, yes, I requested to change the song from Am to Gm. I have sent a sample to the guys so they can help me judge if we need to go to F#m. Thou, I guess I can do it just fine on this tonality (Gm).

 

[Paulie!]

I'd like to hear that aswell actually... also, are you planning on recording vox with just the scratch tracks and drums or with everything?

-Paul

Everything.
I'll send it to you tomorrow, cause I'll do one in F#m as well. But I have a gig tonight so, I don't know how good my throat will be. Even when recording this in Gm I was/am a little ill. It's cold here in Brazil now... we're not used to that .

 

[Paulie!]

Any progress updates on Rhythm Guitars/Drums??

Well, I need the bass & drum track to record rhythm guitars, so...

 

[DanLights]

Drums are in charge of Antto, which is Jussi's (Vespiz) studio partner, I believe he asked for some kind or scratch rhythm guitar track to record the drums, along with the click track of course.

Hmm, why not just to play over original? Seems a lot less complicated to me that way.
