Sneap forum Dio tribute album thread

[JMarz]

Shall we keep it true and in Eb tuning? Just want to double check before we get taking off...

D#'s my vote, original tuning the song was in. Also the lead I wanna add to everything is actually bar 35-38, not 36-38

 

[Skinny Viking]

maybe we should all do backing vocals too?

like maybe the chorus parts or something ... could be pretty big sounding

I'll leave that to you gents, my voice sounds like a euthanized cow. Off to my first day at work though, will discuss more later!

^ Mooo

 

[muckypup1]

I'd still like to do a track of rhythm guitars for Holy Diver if it hasn't been taken

Also, DanLights, should I copy and paste the list you've made onto my first post so people don't have to search to find it?

Good idea, just do it cause at least that way we have 2 people updating the list until we have our teams assembled, at which point we should do what he said and create a thread for each team

So did slashvanyoung do a full version of Neon Knights? I didn't listen to it, but if he did then I should add it to the list, and Steelrat on vocals for it

Yeah, I did Neon Knights. Uploading the final mix revision as I type this.

I didn't sing though (for obvious reasons haha), but I used a string-synth to replace the vocal lines. So again, if anybody wants to sing Neon Knights, you're more than welcome!

Please do. Ill add you to the list if I didnt already (forgot, sorry)

about the tuning, I want to wait fir the lineup to be conpleted to decide, specially concerning the vocalist who will be greatly affected by the tuning decided. Personally as much as we can do in Standard D the better, to keep the intonation on my bass perfect, but I can compromise of course.

 

[DanLights]

I'm working on front and back cover in case you need some artwork and I'd like to suggest a name for the album "Heaven & Hell - Tribute to Ronnie James Dio"

You really busted your head on that title eh? Haha

Seriously, a name with some reference to the forum woyld be cool, your suggested one is toooo generic IMO

 

[muckypup1]

I just pasted the list on the first post, as you update it, I'll just paste the new one there.

 

[cloy26]

bass, holy diver?

 

[DanLights]

bass, holy diver?

Will add you just now, also Travis for vocals in Children of the Sea, pending a sample of his voice but whatever. So for children we just need a person to supply some good spunding programmed drums hopefully changing things up a bit from the original and we can be on the way with this one

 

[cloy26]

So what is the finished product going to be? (sorry for the dumb question but, I've never participated in something like this.)

 

[LeSedna]

^Which song are you gonna program drums to?

For the moment I'll stick to Heaven and Hell, but later if there is still a need and if people like the result I may help another "team"

 

[vespiz]

I can provide some keys for whatever is needed, unless someone wants to have a go?
(I'd have to learn most of 'em first! )

My studiopartner can also play the drums for whatever song is needed.
Somekind of demo track w/ click would be nice.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Okey, I will do guitars for 'stand up and shout'. Who wants the solo?

I can do the solo additionally to the vocals, if nobody else wanna give it a shot

 

[slashvanyoung]

Those Vivian Campbell solos on Holy Diver are... well, interesting haha.

Are you guys going to play those leads note for note? I went the middle way so to say, to add some personal (and spontaneous) touch.

 

[DanLights]

So what is the finished product going to be? (sorry for the dumb question but, I've never participated in something like this.)

Hopefully an album (digital of course) with a lot of songs recorded and mixed by separate teams of forum members, hopefully all mastered by the same person for some consistency in volume.

 

[cloy26]

Ok that's what I assumed, just didn't know for sure.

Which Key note do you prefer for your more confortable singing?
Original is A.
I'm tuned in std D or drop C, so you can choose:

G, D or C?
