 canon_rock.mp3 ( 3.11MB ) : 436




hey guys! i'm sure a lot of yall are familiar with the youtube popular canon rock and like a lot of other people i've decided to do my own version. i've played this song for my school's talen shows but now i've finaly gotten it recorded. and i just want to apologize now for the phaser effect. when i was recording it it did'nt sound as much of a prolblem as it did in the final recording. the song was mostly improvised so i could'nt really do a retake. a few mistakes here and there and since i rendered it as an mp3 you can now barely hear it lol. oh well i wish i was as good at the whole recording that than i am at guitar. if you can hear it leave whatever feedback you can.

Overall I think its fantastic! The only thing i would change is that phaser effect you so rightly pointed out... other than that - YOU ROCK!

I really like it too! Extremely cool! Which place did you get on that talent show?

IT is great man! Very interesting sounding. Distortion is a bit fuzzy tho.

Nice, I like it
..and I agree on the phaser effect.

Very nice indeed But I think it would sound even better slowed down a bit as it sound like you are in a rush

Posted by: Mrblomme Mar 19 2008, 01:59 PM

Thats the cool part for me. The rush effect.

Good job btw

What an awesome sound quality if it wasn't for that phaser.. really great job man!

Mate you can play for real!! That's realy good.

Sometimes it just sounds a bit diffrent then the normal, not melody wise, but a bit to fast or something like that.

thanks a lot for the feedback i really appreciate it. as far as the rushing part goes there's an explanation for it. when i had played the song for my schools talent show all acts had to be under 4 minutes and the original song is like 5 and a half minutes so i had to edit it and speed up the bpm in order to get it under 4 minutes, plus i never really liked playing it slow anyway. i tried to record another take but even when it sounded like it was perfect when i played it back the recording of me was always seemed to be a little out of sync with the backing track and i could'nt figure out why. but i'm gonna get the original un-edited backing and make another recording and this time without the phazer to see if it sounds any better at a slower bpm and with all the original parts to the song since i had to edit out most of it for the sake of time.

"i tried to record another take but even when it sounded like it was perfect when i played it back the recording of me was always seemed to be a little out of sync with the backing track and i could'nt figure out why".


Sounds like it may have been a latency issue. Just recently was told how to adjust the tracks to it myself. What recording program do you use?

Posted by: somecrazyguy09 Mar 19 2008, 08:16 PM

i use reaper software

Posted by: skennington Mar 19 2008, 08:24 PM

If you go into the Options tab and un-check "enable snapping", you will be able to move the tracks freely. Smells here at GMC let me in on this a few days ago. With the snapping checked you can't . Try this and bet you can put it in perfect time with your backing.

Good luck,
Steve

Hey guy I'm just listening to it and you truly ROCK!
Where has this phenomenon been hidden?
I'm curious about what Marcus Siepen might think about your upload...I think it's simply amazing!

Posted by: somecrazyguy09 Mar 20 2008, 05:29 AM

hmm i did the snapping thing but they still wont match up. its like a delay in the recording but i havent done anything to make it do so. i hit record and play along with the track as usual but when i hit stop and go back to hear it my recorded part is just behind and no matter where i move it it does'nt fit it. i'm very confused because this just started happening for no reason.

very nice playing

most easy-fied version of the song I have heard. you left out every single difficult element, replaced it with something simple. You even left out a full minute of the song.

Play is ok, but nothing special. More backing track than anything else. I listened closely to try to hear your technique. Just did not hear a lot Really hard to hear anything with the backing masking your rhythm, accenting, play. I pretty much assume when guys do that, they are covering something up. If I do anything special, I certainly don't want some backing track drowning me out.

Great playing!

Posted by: somecrazyguy09 Mar 20 2008, 10:07 PM

haha yeah well to be honest the whole reason its been easy-fied is because i'm flat out just not good enough to play the real virsion of the song and i'm not afraid to admit it and i was was'nt trying to cover anything up about my playing; i'm actualy very proud of it but i understand where you're comming from. and yeah when i was recording the song i forgot to turn up the volume on the track i was recording on thats why its a little drowned out by the backing and because of the phaser effect. i'm in the process of trying to record the full version but i'm having some latency issues with my software. hopefully i'll be able to put a new recording up very soon .
