No...But Tommy Aldridge is aways a good guess.

That Masters Of Reality tune is extremely cool. I love that. The drums aren't as challenging as they might sound. Very "Ballroom Blitz"-ish, which I've already done a complete cover of (not just drums). I think the next one I might tackle is "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter. That will be a...

You make a good point, bastard. :D It's actually a very cool tune. A little slow and nothing challenging going on with the drums. But I love the tune.

well, I can't argue with that. :D I guarantee you that if you asked 100 non-musicians if they ever heard of Montrose, let alone this particular tune, 98 would say "Who?". Can't listen now but am curious to hear it for sure. I'll check it ut later. :)

I'll check it out. Never heard of it. I like doing tunes that 1) have interesting drum parts, obviously...and B) Most people have heard of. Not sure how popular it is.

Shit, I wasn't sure where to put this. I don't want to start a third thread, so I'll just throw it in here. Man, do you realize how hard it is to play along with a drummer who can't keep proper time. The choruses speed up in this song, it's crazy. I don't know if it's just because I feel it...

Story of my life, brother. I often get the order of "think then type" mixed up. :D

I hope that wasn't directed at me, because I agree and that's exactly what I do. :)

I honestly have never normalized anything. That's why it's funny that I was sort of on the side of "defending" it. I have never found a use for it, but I also don't see anything destructive about it. But, like you said, I just use my volume knobs and sliders. Talisman probably makes a good...

Sure, but I think that's a different issue. Crowding everything will kill dynamics for sure, I guess. But the simple act of normalizing is really just applying a volume increase to a file. I don't see how that can kill, enhance, or change anything about the track. But I'm willing to stand...

How so?

Ok, chill out, man. It's not that serious. I was joking with tat upload. Nobody's trying to convince you to stop hating rap. Lol.... Don't worry about it. I already did that. :)

There's nothing new under the sun. :D

Awesome! Yeah, the 2 albums I named are 30 years old. I haven't heard any rap worth listening to since. I love early rap, even the cornier, "fun" rap like "Bust a Move", which Flea is playing bass on.

Too late for that. I beat you to it. :) To be honest, I threw that one in just because of the title. I don't know what it's about. And, like I said, I'm all about non-PC, offensive lyrics. I'd probably find it hilarious, too. One of my favorites, and it's also a damn good tune, is "Stay With...

They're rapping to music. It's not at all like poetry. There's a difference between "Spoken word" and "Rap". Rhythm is part of music. I hope so, or else you can't consider what Robert Plant or (Enter favorite singer here) does as music. You ever hear Lou Reed? Is that considered "music"...

You know, in a way it's funny how we're all (Well, not all of us, but you know....) talking about "nobody uses loops", etc... Well, rap and hip hop is ALL about loops. While some of us might not like that style of music (I love a lot of it) and some might not even consider it music (YOU try...

Just to clarify, it never even crossed my mind that we were talking about loops or tracks for "successful artists". Quite the opposite. I was thinking along the lines of home recorders. I've done a lot of tracks for people that I've met online on forums like this. Sometimes for free, but often...

My favorite Genesis album IS "Trick of the Tail". I was neve able to really get into prog, in general. I tried. I played the hell out of ELP's "Tarkus" for months, for example. As much as I can appreciate the musicianship in all those bands, it never touched me on anything other than a...

Don't worry about going off topic, brother. We're shooting the shit and talking about my favorite subject, music. I love it. :) I was never familiar with "Brand X". I knew OF them, but never heard them. Phil Collins is one hell of a fantastic drummer. All those classic Genesis albums, epic...
