General Music Chat

I am just full of surprizes "or something" .

i'm gonna go w ...."or something".

In my mind "while playing" I hear about 5 key changes in a systematic rotation.

you know, we were talking about approaching this as a blues, and it's no hard thing to move around blues changes to different keys.....but i know i SURE as $hit wouldn't wanna be singing over any a dat mess!

so, i 'm down either way...straight up "blues in 'A' " ...or should I fly the keys around?

atrophying minds wanna know.

If you guys are just going to layer tracks again, count me out. have fun, just not the way I do things.
It doesn't take any more effort to do what I ask, other than to 'send' the tracks out. Unless you're doing a NotReady recording - playing the tracks over the speakers and re-recording that with the new tracks.
Otherwise you just put the 1st track (drums)in a DAW track, record to a new track. When you're done, render the mix to a WAV, and separately render the new track you just recorded to a WAV. Everything lines up automatically when you insert them into a new project.

I'm hearing alternating bars in the drum track so the lyrics will be written lastly to fit the chord voicings/ open bars.

"alternating bars"

'open bars'.....

please explain your concept in a little more detail.

I hear you on this and all it does is add another min on the dl time.

My question is, who is gonna do the subliminal message track?

and what ever jook does on the guitar we will play it backwards

Can I autotune the f**k out of the vocals

Dayne and PG can start it off with "out of tune" Banjo and mandolin

Oh god I'm killing myself here somebody FIRE me!

I can see this is goin' nowhere fast.................

Well the drum track is up for grabs and I can do the mix down. Just put up your track for down load.

I was into this if all five of us were to participate. I understand there are differences in opinion, here.
If we can work around these differences I will participate but first we must all be on the same page.
I'm not hung up on mixing and I would submit a track for a final mix but you and Mike haven't considered one thing.
We would all have to pass around stacked tracks anyway to hear WHAT to play.

The only way to get around this problem is designate a person to produce the final product.
This person would have to mix the stacked tracks and post for the next person to submit their track.
That's the only way it would work and I can't speak for everyone else. There has to be a consensus to do it this way.
If anyone disagrees, I'm out. This would be very time consuming for whoever is designated 'producer'.

Nope, as I said in my earlier post: Each person can take the original layered track and add their part to it (as a whole) and pass around that track - but also provide the single track they did unlayered, just by itself. So in the end, you have a fully-layered track (or maybe a few, if for example, you do a guitar track on top of Mark's bass on RG's drums, and Scmed does a guitar track on top of RG's drums by themselves) and a bunch of single instrument tracks. The final 'producer' takes the individual tracks to mix appropriately. And maybe has to go back to one of the Banned and ask for something new or slightly different. Or not.
I can produce an acceptable mix in 2 hours if the parts gel. And I don't mean gel like a jam - which your previous collaborations have essentially been. As a song (with singing/lyrics) there has to be a defined format, for example intro/verse/chorus/lead/verse/chorus/lead/chorus/outro - which means there's no lead playing during the verses and choruses - at least until the vocals are done. Then little leads can be inserted in where they fit. For me to be involved, its got to be that way. I've tried mixing songs that have lead guitar parts done before the vocals are tracked - inevitably, it doesn't work well (unless the leads are pre-written to fit in the pre-written singing pauses).

how many hertz out of tune will the banjo be? will p-guy be playing in unison with me on the intro? maybe a little offshoot thingie on deliverance would be cool? no?

I can't do what Mike is referring to. I work in audacity at the moment and that's it.

Oh yeah, since this is Not Ready's thread, I guess I'll mention him. Not Ready sucks!

@daynenobodyiv
lol. Good one, dayne. They totally deserved that. I think...it was still funny. I can't believe you're yanking chains like that. Its getting ugly now...and by ugly, I mean funny.

You see, it never pays to go against the grain. This trainwreck should have been on another topic ( jookey strut ) stop embarrassing yourselves... or call me an ambulance. My side hurts from laughing.
