Official - "Holy Diver" tribute discussion thread

and what kind of programming do you want? Do you want closer to the original version, or something more modern, or something "totally different" ala richard cheese?

I'm not sure, maybe something different, because if its like note for note the same as the real one its not really a tribute, its just a cover :D
 
Thanks Anssi for helping out with this. Personally I don't like the bass tone on that album either, in fact I think it's more the way the bass is mixed than the tone itself, just my opinion but felt like saying it.

Sonny, deadline is August 31th for me to receive a final mixed song, so the sooner you guys get your final tracks layed down the more time you'll have to make a good mix out of it
 
okay, I have the drums roughly programmed now, they are pretty similiar to the original. I just need shift, add and remove some hits here and there for some groove and stuff, but here are some tasters if you want to start tracking the bass and what not... The end is fucked up and not programmed yet (it's missing just fills) and the original track sounds weird because I warped rest of the track to grid to fit the 180 bpm tempo.

Cool man, I'll try and get the guitars recorded by saturday. Who is doing the bass though?
 
Cloy26 is supposed to do the bass, you should try shooting him a Pm to see what's up with that

I'll do that, though I'm not waiting for the bass, I'm probably going to try and get the guitars done over the next two days, hopefully he will be able to get his bass track done soon
 
Hey guys! I attempted the solo, I played it over the drum/ original track MP3 that was provided... It's DI's. I don't know if it's good enough or usable.. Feel free to judge for yourselves. Even if it sucks, I had fun with it haha!

Cheers,
Chris

The files are split, as guitar1 and guitar 2, some parts are harmonized hence the 2 guitars :)
I've bounced the file from the START of the provided drum track and cut it off just after the solo. I'm not sure how in tune it is due to the warping of the original but hopefully it sounds ok. :)

Cool man, I can't download anything at the moment, but I'm sure these will be good :D
 
you´re missing pretyy much everything, Anssi programmed the drums and you did the lead guitar, but no rhythm guitars, bass or vocals are done yet. Try to contact Sonny to get the rhythm guitars done, he´s online often so he isn´t missing in action or anything. And Newcastle boy is up for doing the bass cause frenchyboy seems MIA, try to speed this up, some songs are already in final mixing stage
 
Yeah, i would have had the guitars finished by now, but I've had some bad wrist problems for the last week, but I should be able to get them recorded over the next couple of days, sorry about this taking so long!
 
Yeh dude! It sounds fine I've the drums, I think it just sounded a little awkward over the warped mp3 of the song :)
Alright so we are getting somewhere! If you can get those guitars done, and then the bass soon. We just need a vocalist!

Who wants to mix this one?? I'd be willing to give it a crack but there are way better guys on here :)
