Hiya gang... :D

Without assuming everyone has followed along with what a few of us did over in the 'Collaboration' thread, here's the Reader's Digest version:

Rokket (R.I.P.) wrote a quick little song and offered it out for any/everyone to record and contribute tracks.

After much trial and error, it finally came together this week with musical contributions from myself, Rokket, Ocnor, Scrubs, and Purge, with major ultra-synthic kudos going out to NL5 for letting us use his server space as our centralized wav file depository (You ROCK Gunnar!) :D

We are about to all embark on our own missions of mixing this beast, but we thought it would be cool to offer it out to anyone who wants to give it a try...

So, same rules as in the other thread... Do whatever you think necessary to achieve the sound you're looking for...

Remember, this was recorded by HR members who are scattered all over the world and never did we get the luxury of occupying the studio together... Which made it an awesome experience for all involved, but also contributed to some of the 'issues' you will undoubtedly encounter...

So... enough rambling...

For anyone who wants to give it a go:

It's over 300 megs zipped (those wacky guitar players) ;) so make sure you pack a lunch when you start to download...

It's sort of a hard rock ballad. Kind of like "The Moody Blues" meets "The Scorpions".
 
I'm in. I hope I get some decent feedback this time. I'm horrible at mixing but I want to get better.

Um, R.I.P???

I would like to try this, but I am on a dial up. It would never finish downloading for me.
 
I'll give it a try. That way people will have refrence as to what it SHOULDN'T sound like, right?
 
wow, i plan on downloadin this for practice but 300mb on 56k o boy
 
OK, here is what I came up with the first time. Ocnor had some way better sounds than me, but I'm new, so give me a break. I think I buried the vocals too much, but wanted a very moody feel. Sorry to whoever sang on the tune, as the voice is very cool. Hope I didn't f!@k it up too bad, but I did have fun.



Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

I'd love to do something with you guys, but since I'm about 10 levels below you on ability, I guess I'm screwed.
Way cool tune though.

You all take it light. I will be back....
 
Here's my mix. I want to get better so please give me any advice possible you can other than "forget about being an engineer, you suck" because this is fun and I really want to get better. I tried to keep it somewhat basic.



Good? Bad? Horrible?

Well I can't really give you any sort of feedback on your mix as I've just been working on mine for the last couple hours and my ears really don't wanna hear this song for a while now... ;)
I really liked your beginning arrangement tho... Created an 'angst' that helped define the rest of the song...

Good job!

:)
 
Man that's a lot of guitars.... :eek:

OK, here's my first crack at it.... I got ALL the guitars in... (Man that's a lot of guitars.... :eek: ) But I'm not too sure whether I'll keep em all in there and contiue trying to etch out better seats, or just go through and pick what I want for each moment...

Man that's a lot of guitars.... :eek:

The only things I 'edited' was the beginning hats (they were fighting with my precious tamborine) and I muted the bk vox from the 'done with you' chants... Sorry scrubs... your voice continues to give me goosebumps, but I just couldn't make those parts work for me... :)


Man that's a lot of guitars!!!!

:eek:
 
I'm in. I'll take all the practice i can get. Haven't listened to anyones mix yet...wanna get mine done before I get a distorted view but I will listen to all the final mixes.

Gotta love this place for the learning buzz
