most guitarists strive to get a guitar with a dbx ( dogs bo..) action
if somebody wants to use mooring rope for strings with a 1" action ...the best of luck to them
I think very few people play guitar compared to Joseph Ferrante.
erm...have a good look at you tube...and if he uses an old grundig to record on
how does he post his music
rock on
aktung ...wots the plot again
a song writer usually thinks of a melody / lyrics then puts the chord structure round it
or something similar to that...this approach is to write a backing that might give a
songwriter some inspiration to write a melody to ...( most songwriters i know can do this ) so before all the bells and whistles a 1/2 decent chord progression is needed to base everything else on.
this is why input will give it a chance...else come on james get your thinking cap on
we've got the intro C Cmaj7 Am..I bet theres loads of talent on the forum but recording and posting
mp3's is a no no
RE tempo issue
[mp3]/uploads/e08518e765d6ecdfadf89f559310aced.mp3[/mp3]33bpm
[mp3]/uploads/116ef1b6aa95be003d841839c20a77f8.mp3[/mp3]66bpm
[mp3]/uploads/18aa5639fb6ecc856db3d5b660fc046d.mp3[/mp3]128bpm
[mp3]/uploads/db3beb37d0dffa0b48c9b5e1ec132814.mp3[/mp3]256bpm
the guitar is exactly the same in both versions ...
the bass and drums are played to give the required feel
to give the desired results ( fast/slow)
in cubase they are both done with a setting of 132 Bpm
the fast one is 4/4 (4 beats per bar) the slow one 2/4 ( 2 beats per bar )
so the slow one is exactly 1/2 the speed of the fast one
if cubase ( or any daw ) was set to 66Bpm
then the slow one would be 4/4 (4 beats per bar ) and the fast one 8/4 ( 8 beats per bar )
ie the fast would be exactly 2x the speed of the slow one
in either case everything would sound exactly the same
import the 2 versions into your daw ...line them up to start on the bar
and try these tempos 33 66 132 264 set the metronome to 4/4 and listen to the click
even though the tempos have changed the speed remains the same
you could record it at 264Bpm but to get the same results (speed ) you would have to record
at 1/4 ( 1 beat per bar ) and 2/4 ( 2 beats per bar )
perhaps someone has got a better way of explaining it but thats how i see it
well done olley...google chrome v17...etc now works

original guit with bass and drums ( fast )
the whole point is..two separate people collaborated to get this ( pop type feel )
it can now be taken further / altered / added to...whatever by other people
or the original can be treated completely different

slow version....these are just tryouts so anything can be changed
so if someones got a country/blues/jazz/folk ...etc idea get it posted
and let other people contribute ideas
downloaded v17 chrome...still no joy
what version of chrome have you got?
post removed
thanks for removing clips ..can you sort out uploading with google chrome
..the problem with 3rd party uploads is...edits / mods and esp comments
cant be added to the post ( by the author )
will upload fast version again ASAP
+is there anyway of downloading a clip as an mp3 straight from a posting???
thanks for that olley
can you put the slow version under the fast one
olley why wont my mp3 upload
tried a few times with lesser quality but no joy
mp3 =320kbits/44.1 stereo???
see you 've got the tea boy interested...think so as well
note you got the tempo as 132 ..so is it a fast one
or a 'ballady' slow one which could be interpreted as 66bpm
what do you think rock or ballad??
K so do you want me to send the mp3 files????
just post the mp3 on the forum
got the intro...try F...G E for the next part ??? ( maybe ) or what comes off top
of your head....will add generic bass and drums ( temp ) to get some of the
half thinkers pitching in....but the main men are the melody/lyricists
if anybody can put a melody to a back track....put your hand(s) up
james ..keep the same sound ( dbx ) ...and when you track do at least 4 passes
so they can be picked and mixed ( ie the best takes used )
up and running...sounds ok to me
i'm in... send me the tracks and i'll mix them..i can add bass/drums or whatever if needed
but all contributions/ideas can be explored...for technical probs ..post issues
james can have a red cross and be the first aids man!
the tascam dp004 is a 4 track recorder with a built in metronome
so doing a separate vocal and guitar track should be quite straightforward
these could then be transferred as mono 16bit 44.1khz wav files to
a computer converted to mp3 and sent anywhere you fancy
http://www.mediafire.com/?2gkkin2gm2daojj
having said that if the wav files are not too large they could be emailed as is .. ( <25meg? )
like you say james the vx and guitar need to be on separate tracks
to do any serious editing/adding etc ..plus the tempo needs to be consistent throughout
the song ( playing to a drum machine is an ideal way of doing this )
so cutting and pasting in a sequencer can be as seamless as possible
if recordings are done like this its easier to pass them round and use on different daws
reaper seems an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to record on a
computer and like you say its free....being in standard pitch goes without saying
to forget something..you have to know what it was in the first place
so you're right....its not forgotten...but now i am wondering what i am
missing
Hi Rick, No thanks, they are probably best left in my long distant dark past
this is the original comment i am referring to....if its a great song why not share it with other people
but yes ... if he wants to forget it ..so be it
this is dbx .....what the melody like?
i can feel a band coming on! ....and playing to a drum track is a great way
to keep the tempo!
any song thats shelved/discarded/abandoned/dumped etc needlessly
is thrown away/wasted....i cant think of any other way to put it
i think if anyone writes an 1/2 decent song it deserves all the attention it can get
and exploited in a positive manner by all interested parties
....you never know it might be a future no1..but not by...shelving/discarding/abandoning or dumping it...so best of luck with aluns song...i'll buy it
nice one... chance of going somewhere now
RE this 'across the internet thing'..(rickyb)
with future songs is there any chance of getting a separate voc and guitar track
...so they can be put in a DAW and mixed with other instruments
if anyone else is interested please post
the main criteria would be ...tuned to standard pitch / played to a click track ( consistent tempo )
and probably an half decent song
what do people think???
fair enough...so just keep writing them and throwing them away
even though someone wants to take them further .......dont agree
with that...but there you go....................nowhere
