>> Idea Uploads <<, Cool riffs without a home, yet. Options

[leedbreak]

Thanks Leedbreak must admit was feeling my age last night and fell asleep on the sofa about 9 o'clock!!!

Sure I can can post the track as separate layers. I think it easier to sequence them using your software as the one I use is a bit more of a sketch book for ideas. Might have to invest in one for the future.

I can also export riff tracks as an .ogg file if that makes sequencing easier for you.

Keep rocking!

Sounds cool. I m working on our tracks right now and will post progress this weekend.


LOLOL well since I have never heard of a .ogg file till now, I guess not LOLOLO

I did come up with a decent mix over the weekend, I just have not had the time since to post it, but will in the next couple of days.

Ooooh cool can't wait to hear it.

Ooooh cool can't wait to hear it.

Well for starters, I started over. Would love your drums alone to help with all timing, mp3 is fine. And would love one extra bridge with maybe you coming out of the original rhythm some whole note chords.



Below we have a new intro, with same top 40 change then I play with you in parts, then back to the picking. I still can't help myself but to play over the whole thing but these are still just ideas. LOL, I guess I ideaed a bit much.

Mix still a bit rough but geting better fast.

If we venture back to lyrics maybe the original rhythm is chorus and the picking is verse?

Musical is always cool too

Hiya Leedbreak,

I'm really impressed with the arrangement. I like your ideas as well.

I'll upload the backing drums separately and the guitar parts too for you later.

EDIT: Ok been busy tonight and here are the following files

I've recorded the harmonized guitar part as it didn't sound right but its good now. I've separated the tracks a mp3 files so you can juggle them about but let me know if you want them together if you wish.

Wow great stuff you are so cool to work with. This is going to sound very good.

Hiya Leedbreak,

I've made a mistake on by putting on the wrong bpm on the drum track it should be 101bpm.

Sorry for any confusion

[Crazyfret]

I'd thought I'd drop this little tune in here after messing about on my guitar last night. Its unusual as its quite upbeat and 'poppy' sounding !

Anyway it reminded me of long summer days and driving so I called it Summer Drive lol

The lead is a bit ropey but it what came into my head at the time.

Nice. I hope to get back to mixing this weekend, Been a very busy puppy

[leedbreak]

Ok more updates. Intro is in stone now I believe it is done. Nice mix throughout, till the end anyway. I put your acoustic picking part as the intro to the intro. lol
And it comes in again later

I Have started to get some clicking in I guess my sound card. I need to know if you hear it once posted? I think my card adds it in when I play it back but it is not putting it in the render. I hope

Wow Leedbreak you've have been busy.

Ok so now we know the running order of the song, it sounds good. Like you said it does need some tweeking here and there. Oh btw I couldn't hear any clicking on the track too, was wondering if its overdriving your sound card / speakers?

I was wondering now we have a template should I go over the song and record my takes again? It would prob help you in piecing it together.

I am in a position now where I'm comfortable with Reaper and able to sequence tracks!! . Just waiting on an order for my midi controller so there maybe a synth track in there too! So I should be able to take more of the burden

I'll have a go a writing some more lyrics and I'll atempt at having a go a singing them tho I need to buy a mic!!

I'll be happy to hear your comments.

Keep rockin'

Well, Morning to ya! (Offer good for 12 hours. LOLOL)

As we all know this is a learning process. What I was thinking is that someone could take the 11_26_08.mp3 file as it is now and write a drum track just for the existing bridges. If these bridges were clean now, we might be ready to leave the music and pick up a note paid. I have mics and can record. I sing in the praise team at church but only as a group, no solos for me yet. But if either of us can sing the other can back up, it will sound good.

I know you are better equipped for mixing the song. So, I am open to all ideas.

I mix as I hear it. You can tell I took a lot of time to get the first few changes to work, but this should not be necessary if the changes were clearner.

Well I work on knocking the track into shape in the next week or so so all the changes from the intro, verse & chorus are smoother and then we can put all the fills etc on top. After your efforts we now have a structure to the song .

I'll keep you posted.

[leedbreak]

hey Craig.

Since we are so close to having a finished song I am going to do some more mixing and clean it up a bit this weekend. I would like to see you post a solo or two to put in over the main rhythm so it is not just me soloing. I think we can call it a done deal if we had that and I clean the rest up a bit

What do you think?
