I was just thinking about this yesterday!
I have the majority of my parts recorded. I was going to wait for Virus to submit his parts, but I'm starting to worry about him.
I think what I will go ahead and do is to finish up my rhythm parts on 7th son for Meds, get that final lick down in Murders for Adde, and crank out both guitars on Eagles...and finish the song up. Its been hanging forever.
...after that, I'll start doing solo takes for both # of the Beast and 7th son.
WHee! looks like I'm busy again!

I would really like to hear this one, it`s easily up there on my Maiden top 10 list Rabs, now when Im done with Children we can hopefully get Murders done soon too

Hi all,
I posted what I have done to date on this track. I went ahead and recorded a 2nd guitar. Let me know if I am track with this one so far. I'm thinking I don't particularly like the way I handle the triplet rhythmic Palm Mute notes through the song. Maybe I am palming too much.
If you guys think its good as it (guitars) I'll throw the solo on top and start polishing it up. If you guys think I should just throw the rhythm guitars out hte window and start over..let me know.
Its up on Myplay

Rabies: I gave it a listen and I have a few things to say.
1. I didn't know this song was being worked on, when did this one get started?
2. I like this song a lot ,because it's fun to play, and I'd like to play the second guitar track on it if possible.
Ok, now back to the constructive criticism part.
There are a few mistakes that I noticed.
One of them is at about 1min 7 secs in, it sounds like a chord on the right channel guitar was flubbed a little. There are some other minor little flubs I heard in a few other places.
The next thing is the part that starts about 1:20 in, it doesn't sound like it has the right feel. I think the guitars are supposed to follow the same rythem as the bass on that part.
And finally.....Those harmony notes right after the solo. What you play definitely sounds in key but something sounds weird about it to me. I think I hear something a little different on the cd.
I recorded myself playing along to the cd on that part and I have to admit that what I came up with doesn't sound exact either!
Ok, there's my $2.99 worth!!

I put the mix on myplay
Eddy, if you could find them, I'll put em in.
Hyde. I would be honored.
THere probably are flubs. I had about 10 takes..and I chose two random ones.. I just wanted send it out there to get a feeling on the 'feeling' of the way I was playing it more than anything...and it seems as if it paid off. I'll listen to the part starting at 1:20 again and compare to the original. As far as the harmony..I trust your ear...I'll give it a hard listen and see what we are missing.
How would you like to go about recording the 2nd guitar? YOu can also do the 'solo' if you like..as I have enough others to practice.
Let me know.

sounds good so far, except the drum track
this was the last track I did with only 1 mic
I'd like to re do it but Im afraid this one wont be that easy to to slip in. If I re did it thers a good chance you guys would have to re do your parts too.
it's up to you guys just let me know

I'm glad you said something MM.
Listening to the mix overall, I did find the drum was lacking punch.
Sounds pretty good for a single mic recording though.
In all honesty, I would probably prefer you to rerecord. I am going to rerecord my parts anyway...and Hyde never recorded his. So unless Constantine seriously objects to rerecording..I'd say lets go that route.

MM - you could always re-do your drum track using the current mix (i.e. your old track) as the reference. That way they won't have to change anything...
Jim,
yeah I did think of that but I'm funny that way. Even with my own band. When we record drum tracks I need the vox. I get cues and drum fills and associate them with vocal lines and words. So when I listen to a songs it helps keep me all together you know.
so Constantine...how bout it?

NP - just wait for the final mix w/vox and redo them then...
BTW - My parents will babysit one night while we are in Fl, so me and the wife will be available for a night out on the town!

By wrong feeling at 1:20 do you mean that I should have played the triplets on each chord rather than holding it out? I gave the original a listen, and I think thats the way they do it...its a bit mushy so its hard to tell.
Thats easy enough to fix. We'll see where this project is going re-record-wise before I invest time in fixing it. =)
..as far as that harmony part..if you are talking at xxx ...i think I am missing a third guitar that is in the original. I also stunk up the playing considerably. =) Not my best work this one...so far.

Maidenman I like to have vocals too when I record it helps me to keep focused on where I am in the song. Sometimes I'll make a mix of the cd version of the song with vox prominent and mix it in way in the background so that I can just make out enough of the vox to know where I am. I can't always do that though because I can't always get our recordings and the cd version to be on time.
Like rabies mentioned, I haven't worked on this song yet so it's ok with me if you want to re-record.
If you are happy with your drum track other than the lack of punch, I have a suggestion that might help so you won't have to re-record. If you ran your drum track through a low pass filter that only passed freqs. from 500Hz and below, and saved that mix to a couple of tracks and then mixed those tracks back in with the original, do you think that might help?
Also, MM, are you interested in doing a drum track for Caught Somwhere In Time?

What I meant by wrong feel is that I think the guitars follow the rythem established by the bass on that part.
On the harmony I think that you are right that there are three guitars on that part. When I played along I thought I heard one guitar down low playing...
E
A
D -----------------5--4----0
G ------4--2
B 5--3
E
and another guitar doing
E
A
D
G ------------12--11--9--7-- (7sl/ 9)
B 12--10
E
and finally
E
A
D
G ----------------------12--11
B -----------12--10
E 12--10---------------------------(12sl/15)
(sorry about the terrible tab!)
It's a little different than the harmony than you chose because it uses fourths in the first two notes of the harmony instead of thirds, but I'm not sure it's right either. Let me know what you think.
Jim,
sounds good man, my girlfriend and I are planning on it
Hyde,
Yes sir. matter of fact I've done it already but it's crap, lol
i guess some mics got bumped and I didnt check em. I listend to it when i got home and i almost died. I'll have a new one posted this week

If you want to redo the track, lets do it.
I would rather us all be happy with the finished product then just settle for a half ass job.
MM let us know when the drum track is laid.
take care

I just downloaded the track. For a rough mix, I liked it.
Well, like I said, MM, lay the track and I'm right behind you.
