I was running Cubase for this setup and monitoring through headphones. 7 piece CAD mic set into a Yamaha 12 channel board out to another Yamaha board that I used to add some slight reverb via it's on-board FX processor out to a BBE882i Sonic Maximizer, into a Tascam US-488 DAW controller running Cubase on my PC.

I can actually hear the click track while I'm monitoring my drums through with it but I still seem to loose track of it no matter what. The best I can figure is that I get right on top of it and must just start tuning it out after a while because I literally stop hearing it.

C'est La Vie; I've always struggled with it.

Sign me up for Synth

 

[Platypus]

DarkThinker brought up a good idea, is there any AT'er willing to donate some hosting space/bandwidth to store these files? I am willing to maintain said account and users can PM me their files hosted elsewhere

 

[MartyMcFly3]

It'll be recorded and up tonight. Guaranteed. I just woke up because I was busy as hell at work last night. After I do some grocery shopping and eat and everything I'll lay it down.

Great, please place your post in the OP so more people can see it right away!

 

[DarkThinker]

Come on guys, amongst all the members who do web hosting stuff can't anyone host a single ftp of a lousy page and some tracks
Where is the AT spirit?

 

[Canai]

I play bass. I'll down the drum tracks when I get home tonight.

[MartyMcFly3]

Almost done with it I think.

 

[Platypus]

can't wait to hear it, hopefully i have some time tomorrow evening to lay down some guitar riffage

 

[Platypus]

I updated the OP but for those reading here, send me all your clips from now on and I will host them on my webspace graciously provided by pepsi90919

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Platypus, Ill PM the yousendit links soon. Giving it a final listen before making it an mp3. I only did the 4/4 one.

 

[Platypus]

cool, if you don't mind sometime to do the 6/8 one that would be cool, I'm very interested in doing that one

Try to work on it tomorrow since Im off and hopefully wont sleep until 4 in the afternoon like today

What you get working midnights though.

 

[DarkThinker]

Finally had time to PM Platypus a couple of String Synth samples which isn't much but it's something to start with, but I also included a sample from my upcoming track project which I hope you guys like

 

[MartyMcFly3]

I PM'd Platypus the 4/4 tracks already so they should be up whenever he puts them up.

I think I could have done better but Im always critical about what I record. I think itd be cool if we could do covers or something as well since we all have a better idea of what we'd play than just inventing the wheel on our own. Both have their good sides and bad.

LOL- I just gave it a listen. It sounds like funky Halloween music. Cool! I'll see what I can add to it tonight.

 

[Platypus]

Good job Marty, I like the groove a lot, should yield some interesting results.

Off the top of my head I want to do maybe a slow/drawn out line of chords to fill in the spaces and let the bass do the walking but I might change that when I can actually jam along with the track a bit more. I'm impressed so far with the results, thanks to you MM and JR once more for getting us started

 

[DarkThinker]

I loved the bass marty, good stuff, and hehe at some points (1:30-1:38 & 3:01-3:15) it sounded like something from a DOOM level theme

Now I know the aim of this project is to produce a Track from many members. But are we limited to one track of one genre? Or can each group of members do their own genre?

The only problem I have right now is that I don't know what to contribute exactly without taking you guys of course.
So perhaps someone can suggest me some sound or beat that I can make for the current track that would fit but still be in my area of expertise.

We'll get to that...we're just making the simplest song we can for a "proof of concept". If you can't do anything right now, that's cool. We'll get to you later

Thanks guys. I wasn't happy with how I ended the 4/4 but the compliments make me feel better about it. Ill try to get the 6/8 one up tonight probably around midnight like last night.

Cool beans, I really want to dive into this one.

Guitar guys, what are your thoughts on choice of axes? I was thinking of going with a les paul on this track and maybe a fuzz but I definitely want to use a tele on the 6/8 one.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The 6/8 is more of a twangy beat (maybe an Elvis Mystery Train rhythm to go with it ). I've got a Yardbox I'm going to use on my LP for the 4/4. I have a couple of ideas for some blues riffs that should work.
