Members mekke Posted May 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 OK I've got a cut of the new track with bass to share. I'm putting it up now, if my wireless will let me from down here in the dungeon.I tried singing the backup lines, and it was simply disastrous. mekke, your voice is so rich and expressive, mine sounds like a turkey next to it! A very unhappy turkey.. Mate! First, thanks for the bass track. Sounds great! If you can send it over sometime that would be great.

I only uploaded the chorus parts. Let me know what you think. I like it! I really do: your high pitch gives yhe chorus some more drama. I favour the second take; tomorrow I am gonna take the vocals again. If you wanna take a shot at it, that would be great. I post when I am done. Man! I am loving this whole thing.Thanks!

Members eeglug Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 I favour the second takeActually what I posted are your two choruses from your recroding - not two different takes. I'm glad you liked it though. If you want that harmony vocal on your final let me know when you're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point: my point is that they are basically identical from my part, whereas slightly different from yours...in that respect I favour the progressions you do on the second chorus. See what i mean? Its late and I dont trust myself writing sensible stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what i mean? Its late and I dont trust myself writing sensible stuff.... Both are essentially the same from my part as well (to me anyway), but I'm a little more "in sync" rhythmically and "on pitch" in the second one. Well, when we get to the final I can do another set of takes from which you select the "best". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eeglug Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 I uploaded the Crossroad Song on my soundclick. Your lead vocal sounds the same to me (?) - is this the final lead vocal? There's nothing wrong with it, it sounds great - just checking in case you intend to do something different with your vocal. I will be more than happy to add my harmony vocals to the version you have loaded now. I really like the things you've added - it sounds great! The bass is a little too loud in the mix though. What kind of drums do you currently have on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members R.J.S. Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 Wow! What an interesting thread I`ve been missing If I could be helpful somehow - let me know.Few words about what I do:Here in Moscow, I work as a sound producer and arranger and I do lots of mixing and mastering work as well. Sure I`m not a Bob Ludvig or Tom Lord Alge, but I can do something because of everyday`s practice. I work at home mostly and sometimes work on several studios. You can listen to my works here: http://presidentstudio.ru The site is in russian language, but you can just listen to mp3 files (all of those tracks is my work). Don`t be afraid of very different kinds of music there Some of my clients like strange things.../mp3 links underlined there or have a "play" button/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dbd1963 Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hey, you guys have been busy. Mekke, I don't see why you wouldn't keep that bass track. I know I played a few different things, but it's tomato/tomarto. His track is plenty good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Floophead3 Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 If any of you bothered to work on Sustain, don't worry about it for now. I've decided I'm just not in the mood to work on that one. I do have an (almost) finished song that I could use help with mixing/production on as well vocals, as well as if anyone thinks they want to change/add something to it. Lyrics are available on my soundclick along with the mp3: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=701714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is now, it gives an idea, but I dont think - and I only speak for myself - I could really bring anything to it, as I can hardly hear whats going on. Take your part to a click and jot down some drum loops. Once we have a good master track we can all dive in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Floophead3 Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 yah, I probably turned the pwnage on my guitar a little too high. I think I might redo the recording entirely acoustically first perhaps. Just guitar and vocals usually helps a lot. I keep forgetting how much I suck at music, but now I remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you think and any changes you want made. Dude!, I am listening as I write. I really like the pitch of your voice. It really blends in nicely. Your voice has this velvet kind of feel...very warm There are some two or three spots where it is slightly out of pitch...I dont know if the "anal me" is the only one hearing it or you can also hear it. If not, I can try and be more precise, and pin point the seconds the other thing: the part where we sing - oi...now its "we"! - I know I know I know you feel it where I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eeglug Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 Dude!, I am listening as I write. I'm totally fine retaking but you have to be very specific about where I am off-pitch and what note you want higher. So tell me exactly where you think I'm off. I know for sure that I am not as discerning as you are about pitch. If you want a different harmony note anywhere, try this: make a guitar overdub playing the exact harmony line you would like, post the whole mix with the overdub and I'll try to sing it.

Members eeglug Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 mekke, I just thought of something else. Can you please also post a mix without your vocal on it? That way I can play my harmony vocal against the backing track alone and will be able to pick out pitch problems better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mekke Posted May 21, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 ok. Do you want the exixting one, or you want to try once I lay down the guitar track with the melody I had thought of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eeglug Posted May 21, 2007 Members Share Posted May 21, 2007 ok. Do you want the exixting one, or you want to try once I lay down the guitar track with the melody I had thought of?How about this?- one mix with only instruments + harmony line played on guitar. No lead vocal.- another mix with only instruments and nothing else - not even the harmony line. You can even make this one just drum loops + one acoustic guitar.I will line these up with the previous mixes in my software and do my vocals...Thanks man!
