I know what I want it to sound like... but not sure yet how to make it actually happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the tone. Don't misunderstand me, you've nailed it. I like the cheapy sound. I didn't mean to cover the buzz, I meant to compliment it.

Well, the thing is, you totally pull it off. Remember that Stevie tune I posted on your thread about "New YORK!!! Just like I pictured it!" That had a lot of ambient sound to set it back a bit. Why not take a youtube video and strip the audio. Something from a high school parking lot. Or even just something with ambient air sound. Roll the highs off your voice, pout it in a closet room. Or just run it through a guitar amp and be done with it. It's cool. But I'd set it in the track somehow. Then I assume the song resumes and that's really like a middle 8?

Moderators Lee Knight Posted September 19, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2012 How about doubling it through a Leslie on slow... that would be cool. It might, but you do have a convincing garage rock thing going here. I'm just saying, one way to go with that is by accentuating that low end clipping. That's the sound of those records lately. The low end of that Big Muff warbling in the harmonics. Trying to tie the low end of the guitar into the bass and not so seperate... by literally finding where your guitar rolls off in the lows and boosting. It's evil good fun. _m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like every kid in the HS parking lot. Cool, but not uber cool. Just a kid. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I think it is... maybe it's the late 70s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did the punks, new wavers, jazzers. The only ones who thought Journey was cool... were people that weren't really all that... cool. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Moderators Lee Knight Posted September 19, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2012 But... now... though I'm still not a Journey fan, I realize how really great some of their songwriting was. I would've loved to have written some of those tunes. I'd have worked them up differently but... good tunes. Just not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shortchord Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Intro is a sample of "Buttercup". You hear the record getting ripped off of the player, various cracking/smashing sounds, car ignition and on-its-last-legs transmission, and then the guitar riff? But it's got to be Buttercup really muffled, as if heard through a wall from the room next door ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shortchord Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 So, if I stick with the theme... I'll need a lot more of this sort of imagery. Keep up the suggestions... Local fairs where you can win Quiet Riot mirrors. Feather-laden roach clips. Three-quarter sleeve concert tees. What else?
