Anyone else use Guitar Pro w/RSE? That could be a good way to get started also?

Just throwing it out there.

Yeah, I use that too, but I only use it for reading multi-track tabs.. I hate it for writing music, it kind of bounds me, you know? True music is in your heart and in your head, and I've never performed any song I wrote myself the same way twice.

No, I agree, however the idea using GP w/RSE would be to make a simple backing track with a small file size for trading initially. The MIDI parts would be replaced with user tracks after working individually with the GP file.

I've collaborated a little using GP in this fashion before, hence the suggestion, but never use it when I'm working alone.

I do improvise playing quite alot, but it can also be quite limiting and keep your playing from progressing, so I try to mix it up with some structure and play different genre as well.

Yeah, I play a lot of different genres, but always with the same lack of structure.. I just can't really ENJOY the standard chorus/verse riffs, I'm all over the place. Some people like that, some people hate it. You win some, you lose some..

I should really get some new gear... Working on a VibroVerb clone right now, planning on making my own (tube) wah and I really want a new guitar, too.. Damn, I wish I had something other than just my camera to record..

 

[elektrolokomotive]

I have a variety of synthesizers, and I'm running Cubase.

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

OK, I didn't get the chance to track anything last night (got pulled off on one of those last-minute family things) But tonight is a normal band practice night anyway so I'll get all the recording gear set up as soon as I get home from work. I should hopefully get something squeezed out durring one of our breaks and posted up sometime this evening.

I'll either throw up a download link on myspace or my band's website.

Right now I'm thinking of a couple of different backbeats. Pretty basic blues stuff, but one in 4/4 and the other in 6/8 timimg probably about 3-5 minutes each.

Check back here around 8-9:00 Pacific time..

JR..

 

[Platypus]

Sounds good.. been itching to lay something down

I made my own Wah pedal for a school project a while back. If you need any tips, let me know.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

I wont be able to lay down the bass track until tomorrow afternoon if JollyRoger gets us the track tonight.

 

[Noema]

I play Guitar and I'm pretty decent at it. I have competent recording gear too

Thanks..

How did you do it, then? I really want a custom one, for instance, I want to be able to select how 'aggressive' the wah is. Sometimes like with metal, I kind of use it as a distortion pedal, but with things like blues and rock, I want a kind of clean, smooth wah, you know? I plan on using the casing of my current wah, a Behringer (I know, but it was so cheap, I couldn't help myself.. ).

I play keyboards and might be able to do some interesting stuff with the atmosphere of the music.

I was thinking a cheesy 60's organ might sound cool with this (think Paul Schafer).

Boooo

I want to hear some Jon Lord on this track

 

[DrPizza]

JuniorPizza would love to get in on this - guitar/drums. I don't know what he's got in his studio for recording drums though.

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

Just wanted to check in here. I've got everything mic'd up and set up, but we're in the middle of practice for now so I probably won't get the stuff tracked out and uploaded as soon as I thought. Probably delayed by a couple of hours or so (say around 10-11ish Pacific time). But I did NOT forget about you guys.

JR..

Sorry guys, not gonna happen tonight. Band stayed over late and I only got about 3 takes in (none of which I was happy with) before I had to shut it down so the kids could get some sleep. I'll try again tomorrow morning...

 

[Platypus]

bummer, no biggie JR.

I got some personal recording done earlier tonight instead

Better late than never!! Tracks are officially up.

Here's the link.
http://www.here4days.com/ATOT/atot.html

When you get there just right click the page links and do a 'save as'.

Enjoy!!
JR..

p.s. The 6/8 track was done on the 1st take and there are a couple of "spots", but nothing to write home about. Especially once it's all burried under other instrumentation

 

[Platypus]

Awesome, thanks JR!!!!

Marty, you're up man

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Listening to it now. I'll try to get something recorded either today or tomorrow. Im working all weekend from 6pm-6am but like I said I'll definitely try to record something.

 

[hiromizu]

That's a very fast blues track eh? I play guitar and record. Put me down for some wankage or riffin.
