thanks RB, can't wait to check it out.

I think we should just start doing new stuff and if people want to contribute they can. I have no idea why so many people signed up and bailed though.. lol.

I agree. I've got a couple more in the oven as we speak hehe.

I'm about ready to share some of my material I've been working on. I had some piss poor mixes that I've redone and I've got a few new tunes worked out. This is the time of year I get ramped up with my music

 

[Platypus]

Yeah I've got a few ideas brewing too... just got the amp of my dreams so I'm really ready to get something laid down

What a bunch of worthless layabouts! They oughta be flogged in the town square wearing nothing but thongs, the whole lot of them!

I removed the first part of the intro to reduce the speaker suprise.

Again, we have JoLLyRoGer on the drums, and me on the guitars.

Strangled Leadbetta

Sorry guys Ive been kind of flaking on you. Between work, Secret Santa, and a somewhat decent social life, I just havent taken the time to sit down and record. I'm looking to get a Fender Jazz Bass for Xmas so maybe after things wind down I'll be back to recording.

Hopefully this is a long term project

It can definately be tough to find time when you have a life (Oh, and I'd love to get a decent Bass myself)

 

[rbV5]

I slowed down the tempo on JR's track2 drum track and added some clean guitars.

This is kind of a simple long Blues Jam in D featuring JoLLyRoGer on the Drums and me on the guitars.

Hazy

sweet Rick, sounds cool

here's a dirty little thing I slapped together in about 30 min testing out my new 5 string bass.. I'll also be down for playing bass for this project now too

it's rough around the edges but I'm working on doing something with that last riff

I like that quite a bit. I love the heavy sound and its just screaming for a dual lead over that last riff serious potential with this one I think.

thanks!

yeah the last riff was kind of the brain behind that, i wrote the intro stuff just to transition to that. I think a harmonized lead would be AWESOME in that part, I did the panning already for rhythm/lead. I want to clean it up a bit and maybe put a more cohesive song around it but that was what I came up with in one take

I'm playing around with it now. I've got a little time today, I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe an acoustic break with a key change in the middle followed by that riff again, or something to give it an epic Heavy Rock feel. I dunno, but I do like it alot.

 

[Platypus]

cool, I'd love to hear your ideas on it. I was messing around with dissonant overtones in the E/A strings the other day and came up with that one, it just sounded really interesting. I got a newish amp that just drips tone for that kinda thing so it's really be inspiring me to take my tone in a different direction lately.

Hey when you guys finish a video like this would be very cool!

LOL, that would be cool. I've got a video cam, so I could do my parts if they make it to the final cut.

I do look a little like the dude in the santa hat:shocked:

Hey Platypus, I've got a tune worked out that runs a little over 4.5 minutes using your latest Masterpiece. It needs a little more work before I send it this way (even then it will be a pretty rough) Prolly tommorrow or the next day

Yea, I've gotten tied up into some holiday stuff that has kept me busy...but fret not :evil: I'll have some time soon. I've nearly got something "nearly" ready with your jam2 number (which I am digging)

I share your love of knopfler as well. Nice job!

 

[blurredvision]

Bump to keep you guys doing this. Just started last night learning the guitar, so in about a year's time, I hope to join in on this .

 

[rbV5]

I was finally able to get a little time this morning. I had hoped to get something a little better worked out but I think this has kick-ass possibilities with some drums and some of the parts reworked a bit.

I walked all over some of your best stuff Plat , but i had trouble bring some of your forward with everything on a single track.

Plat Man Do

Featuring;

Drums/Bass/Guitar; Platypus
Guitars; Me

This is awesome Rick, I like the idea a lot!
Did you add a touch of delay or reverb to the sound?

I like the breakdown section the most w/ the harmony, I'm away until next week but I definitely want to keep running with this track. I think if maybe a drummer got into it and added some cool double bass parts to that breakdown section and/or some sort of ride that would sound pretty kickass.

Come on ATOT, get in the game

I used Cakewalks VC64 (Kjaerhus Golden Channel) on the final mix to get some room for everything. I also doubled each of my tracks and put a little chorus on the doubled track to thicken the sound a little (I record my tracks mono/ EQ/pan them and send them to a seperate stereo bus for mixing)

I could get a much better mix if all the tracks were seperate (and not looped) so I could EQ them first, the drums and Bass get lost pretty easy, and you lose a lot of the dynamics of your setup's awesome tone.

Drums would make a HUGE difference
