I can provide the shell copies of the jams too but I need to find some time after work one day and remix them.

If you want to take them in a completely different direction you're more than welcome. Marty, untitled2 has a really quiet bass line (I fucked up the mastering) and I could really use a fresh set of eyes on it. I'm thinking sort of a p-bass sound, very trebly/punky since there is plenty of low end in the song from my semi-hollow guitar.

Will take a look at it.

I can snap really well with my right hand. Left is audible but inconsistent.

Drummer checking in. I said I would do this last time, but couldn't with school. I'm done May 1st for the summer and will be home for ~4 months. Overhead mics have been ordered (Rode NT-5's), SM57 on snare, Beta 52A on kick. Running it all through a Firepod using Cubase SX3. I might be able to do something... :p

We won't be layering 10 guitars ;) Last time we were lucky to get 2 contributers at a time, but there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone.

LOL, Maybe save that for down the road a little.
----------------------------------------------------------

I'd like to start with maybe 3 projects so that there might be a little something for everyone..

*Cover song - I'd like to propose a Classic Sabbath Tune; Fairies wear boots I have a backing track with Drums and Bass parts that perhaps we could work off of. It has several guitar parts that would work well for dividing up between several guitarists, plus it's a cool Classic rocker.

*Blues number.

*Pick one of Platypus unfinished works he posted above.


LMK what you guys think?

OK Cool,:thumbsup: then how about using your "Indecision" for one of the projects, and what do you think of that Sabbath tune?

Lets tentively go with those 3 and mull it over for the next couple days while I work up the details for the OP. That'll give us plenty to work with for a while :D

Atleast you got through learning...I stopped practicing when I got to scales....I have been telling myself for the past 8 years..."I need to get better at them". I have not progressed since (well...i did a little). Like my freind says.... know so much, but I can play so little. I can play, I just can't shred.

Been messing around with it. Got nothing I like down yet though.

Ok cool, if you really listen at the beginning there is some upper fret work on the bass that I kind of like but it gets swallowed in the mix, it'd be cool to bring that out more

Yeah I've been keeping it pretty high on the fret actually. It has a very Spanish feel to it. Like I said, I got some stuff with it, but I don't like what I got so far. :p

story of my life :p cool I'm excited to hear it.

Rick has always added something cool that made me take a song in a completely different direction, it's awesome to get collaboration happening
