Members RockViolin Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 Warts and all. Thought maybe some would like to check it out. I spent 5 minutes on the playing and well over 5 hours on the all the eq. Still not happy but tired of dinking around with this one. A nod to EVH. Comments and helpful suggestions most welcome. Please be gentle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RockViolin Posted May 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm using a Barbera Ultralite 5 string Mr. Botch. I'm hooked up with "you send it" but am not getting the HC email address in right. Sorry I'm so green. Stumped at the moment too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 This bb just insert elipses into URLs as they're displayed but the URL itself should be fine. And that URL DOES work -- EXCEPT it's the URL for this thread. If you upload something to Yousendit, it will give you fields for your email address -- to which it will send a confirmation email with the URL of the downloadable file -- and the email of where you want the yousendit notification sent to. BOTH emails will have the URL of the downloadable file. It'll be up for about a week, if I recall correctly. So -- when YOU get the email confirmation it will have the URL of the downloadable file. Just copy and past that URL straight into a post here. You don't have to worry about any special codes or anything. It WILL do the elipsis thing in the text link in the BB post. Don't worry about that. As long as its the URL Yousendit sends you we should be able to click on it and go to the Yousendit page for your file. And -- honest -- I wouldn't worry to much about the sound quality of your mp3. As long as its 128 k or higher and the file you're working from is okay, the mp3 should sound fine. Not great maybe but people don't necessarily expect it. 192k Mp3s are a decent compromise between size and sonic quality, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 but you have to watch that your Guarneri doesn't fall apart when you play this sounds on it thru a Barbera transducer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockViolin Posted May 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 It's actually an electric violin. Not just a transducer. I sold the Guarnerius so I can buy that Music Farm! So it's actually playing...the clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudolf von Hagenwil Posted May 16, 2006 Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 it's playing! when you say five hours EQing, can't you setup the chain so it sounds right at the beginning like the final clip, i mean otherwise it must be frustrating playing with a placeholder sound...

Members RockViolin Posted May 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm getting there. With this particular sound, after a little additional compression and normalizing at mixdown, some rather piercing transients became much more apparent than during tracking. Thus neccessitating a long stretch of locating the offending frequencies and applying some dynamic eq. So there was a fairly large drop of the 10k at the board and Finalyzer D. eq at 2.74k with a fast attack and .5 second release and a fairly open v shape curve. And then, of course, I had to mess with the multiband compression. But yes, I could retrack now with that in mind. I'm all tired of this lick now though. Not sure if the trouble frequencies would have survived the conversion to mp3 anyway. Another thing to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockViolin Posted May 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2006 I should add that it wasn't one long eq session but spread over several evenings as ear fatigue does happen fast. This was actually my very first solo clip with such a high gain sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brittanylips Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Sounds great. Neat hybrid of violin + guitar style. How are you playing it - is that all bowed or pizz too? Violin/Viola combo with that low C? TIA -peacelovebrittanylips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockViolin Posted May 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Thanks for listening Brittanylips. Its all bowed. I use a left hand damping technique to manage the vibration of the string and the distortion for shorter percussive events. And its a 5 string Barbera electric violin, which adds the low C. I started listening to rock when I was about 14. I played along with just about every album that came into my possession and worked pretty hard to learn guitar voicings and mannerisms. But I can just play "regular" too. Wish I'd been a bit more patient and sussed out the M O for putting up clips. Live and learn. And, I can hear things that need work. For one I tried an extra 15ms delay on the left channel. Now on this computer system the left channel seems a bit soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 It took me a while to get back around here... It's an amazing display of intrumental and FX technique... proving a violin can be just about as good at being a wailing lead rock instrument as a guitar -- and your multi-stop work showed the ability to hold up the rhythm side of that equation as well. That's some crazy playin! Must be a heck of a stage show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could just hold it between my legs while I do tricks with my tongue... Stage show? A'hm agittin thar. Now that my orchestra days are behind me the electric has all my attention. I'm available!

Members paulskirocks Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 wow... that's pretty bitchen... i look forward to hearing some more... from a guitar players perspective, it really rocks... actually, now i am hearing more on the broadband site... nice... paulski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockViolin Posted May 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks Paulskirocks! Thanks for listening. And your kind words! You all are putting some wind in my sails. Sure would be fun to pair up with another violinist of the same bent. Or guitarist. Plans to work with a singer and mix it up between rhythm and lead in the classic way. We'll see. I can't hit 6 strings at once or go as low, naturally. But I can grab 3 If I put some arm into it. Or toggle 2 and 2, or 3 in a rhythm. Wondering if...you didn't know it was a violin up front, what things would stand out to you, anyone, to make you say hey wait a second...that ain't no geetarrr...? I'm too close to the painting to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thankyou Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 Great work, Tom. What kind of pickups and amp are you using? I just had a couple of guitars repaired by a luthier named Steve Mason in Lawrence, KS who had a five string violin/viola hanging on his living room wall. His website is really interesting. http://ask-a-luthier.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
