Hi guys,

cant help noticing there are no metal collabs as yet?

I have got a backing track and some of my own ideas (solo wise) but I don't have the means to put other peoples recordings on top, can anybody out there help?


here is the backing track and then my take on the solo over the top any chance someone can take the recording reins from here?
or if someone else uses a riffworks for recording any ideas on how to import an mp3 over a backing track?

Its in the key of E so E minor pentatonic well serve you well for this one although I do use some modal ideas (don't ask me which cos I have'nt got a clue)

I`ll have a look when I get in from work tonight, not sure.

Great backing track BTW , how many people do you want in the collab?

Count me in as one for sure

Awesome backing!!

Since I'm not real metalhead my comments might be way too over rated here,
so count me as a participant for sure!!

I was looking for around 6 so its not too overboard but it would be nice if we had each with a different style,

(and by that i mean technique wise) say one with tapping, one all legato and one with sweeps and triads?

That would keep it really interesting throughout

Count me in!

Just give the tempo of the track,gonna try to add some nasty bass guitar to backing.

Posted by: Alex Lewis Nov 17 2007, 01:33 AM

Its 215bpm

hope that helps

So far then we have smells , muris, krmachine and myself


Muris:-
can give you the tab for the backing if you want?

Posted by: Muris Nov 17 2007, 01:43 AM

Thanks Alex.

No need for tab,tempo is most wanted

Did you use the Toneport to get your solo sound?

If you did can you upload a patch file so I could match the tone of mine up?

Thanks mate!

This is a great track to jam with, I'll try my best to do it justice!

Posted by: Smells Nov 17 2007, 03:24 AM

OK, I`ve had a look at this, I may be able to patch them together, but had a bit of an idea (i`ll leave it as a surprise hopefully it`ll work:)),can peeps start their solo`s after the first drumfill if thats ok?

sorry Alex this may mean a re record of your solo if thats possible m8, and post again just your solo only, if not dont worry

Posted by: Alex Lewis Nov 17 2007, 04:17 AM

Yeah thats fine being honest I wasn't completely satisfied with the start of mine anyway!!

will record it tommorow and re-post it

Thanks for taking up the task man was afraid nobody would wanna be involved!

Posted by: Smells Nov 17 2007, 04:21 AM

I`ll give it my best shot m8, no probs

Posted by: leedbreak Nov 17 2007, 05:01 AM

Can I play too?

Posted by: Smells Nov 17 2007, 05:13 AM

yea m8 that`ll make the 6th and last spot

Posted by: leedbreak Nov 17 2007, 05:16 AM

Cool, makes for some extra fun.

Posted by: Muris Nov 17 2007, 06:03 AM

Here it is.

I added bass and did small mastering thing with EQs and compression.
Hope you like it.

Wow, totally missed this one! Next time I guess! =)

By the way, have to say that's a killer riff - sounds great. And muris, great job with your "little mastering" and bass. Really adds even more life to it.

Can't wait to hear what you guys all come up with when it's finished.

Posted by: Alex Lewis Nov 17 2007, 05:40 PM

Love what you did Muris sounds awesome!

Glad ya'll like the backing, really lookin forward to hearing what everyone comes up with!!

Posted by: Smells Nov 17 2007, 09:47 PM
