Hey Chris. You can use the mp3 files we uploaded here in your project and send your work as mp3 to us also if you want
Also REAPER isn't very hard to use it. I didn't know anything about it until Todd suggested us to use it Dogukan, QUOTE (SirJamsalot @ Apr 16 2011, 08:16 PM) I use cubase :/ I'll give you my 2 cents on what I hear though I like the overall sound so far.

Here is an updated rough version of the rif I posted last time that I've been working on. No bass guitar in there yet, just guitar and a melody through line lead. Much heavier than the last one though. See what you think
Rev2.mp3 ( 1.28MB )
Number of downloads: 138DOKUGAN: I gave track one another shot on drums and I have to agree with Christian. I can't get much to fit. It may have to live as it is. It was our first track of the project so I"m sure they will get much better as we go. I"m looking forward to these next ones we are working on in a big way QUOTE (quadrium @ Apr 16 2011, 04:23 PM) Hey Chris.

I've heard good things about Cubase but I've got to say REAPER is well worth the download. It's free to download and use (they leave a nag screen at startup though to ask you to pay a bit) and there are tons of free plugins and it's cross platform. As far as I can tell it's the perfect and so far, the only way to allow people to collaborate across distance/platform/operating system/plugin architecture etc. and do so for a Zero outlay.
It's really simple to use to. Give it a shot if you can. I know it seems like a pain to learn to new software and who has the time? But in spite of all that, it's still worth it.

We never made any guitar solos for Track 1! I think we should maybe do it as a collab? It would be a challenge as the riffs that are not in E are actually tuned a quarter step up so it's impossible to solo in key over those sections. So it would be a great chance to use squeals/harmonics etc. over those sections. If you guys can make a solo pass of the entire tune, (EVERYBODY WELCOME!) I can mix them in . Here is the final tune again.

I'll see what i can do about making a solo Then we can use the lyrics i have posted for song 1 for our future songs.TODD: If you want you can make a collab thread into the collabs forum about this so more people can hear about it.

Todd, yeah I've heard a lot about Reaper - I've already shelled out the money and time to learn Cubase, and while I see the benefits of it, it's easier for me to stick to Cubase and just import audio tracks.

Hey Todd. Here are the recordings. I didn't record your ascension paradox 2 lick because no matter what i do, i couldn't be able to record exactly what you have played
 Instead of that i have recorded the intro part and my verse riff. Hope you like it Dogukan, -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY PAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL |

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Apr 18 2011, 11:26 PM) Great! =) I"ll check it out! The ascension paradox lick is a bit tricky. The scale bit at the end makes it a bit like a lead. I'll re record it without fx. Great! Thank you Todd Should i send the song 2 structure again for you to arrange the song with the newly recorded riffs?Dogukan, -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY PAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL |

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Apr 19 2011, 09:28 PM) I"d say give it a shot! I want you guys to learn/practice the art of recording/mixing. Big part of the point of all this. Toss the recordings on separate tracks in reaper and copy/paste drag them around a bit. Ideally, you shouldn't need me but I"m more than happy to help. I'm currently trying to learn but need more time to do it properly I have some issues when i try to merge the riffs. But after this song is finished, i will take a step for this And the other reason is that you are an expert about mixing/mastering I'm looking the final mixes you have sent and learning from them also before i start making the mixes Dogukan, This post has been edited by quadrium: Apr 20 2011, 04:07 PM -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY PAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL |

Sound like a great approach, Todd! I will dive deeper into Reaper this weekend and can hopefully upload new riffs, drums, mixes and so on by monday.

I'll dig into drums
I have never done it before but i will figure it out. Also having a Nanopad + EZ drummer is my main advantage Dogukan, -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY PAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL |
