Great, thanks. I think I'm getting it now. Of course at around 2:00, I start to think the song's going into a fadeout, but then it keeps going :eek:

I have heard this song, my friend sang it for me. I am just not presenting it right. :o

Its REAl simple and REAL predictable. Of course I record symphonies by myself so perhaps I underestimated the simplicity. :D

David, if I might suggest something, can you make a mix with Gorty's rhythm, to just the simple drumbeat you have? See how that sounds. :confused:

I dont have Gortys part alone.

One Mo thang:

This is "Heartbreak Hotel". Just faster. Think about the beginning of that song and this is the SAME thing! :D
 
Do you want all effects removed, I have some reverb on the tracks??

Thats fine as long as you didnt use "Indoor tiled pool" or "Olyimpic Stadium" :D
 
David, I have a guitar part...it follows Gorty's at times, and I left some blank space. You can cut and paste what you want. Here is the file over Gorty's work..... Doodle

I can put up the individual file if you want it. I also have it in 2 seperate parts, as I had some timing issues and didn't want to punch in, so I just built it. Jus le me kno, K.... :D
 
Great! Sure, I would love the individual parts, it will help everybody a lot I think. Once I get SOMETHING happening it will al make sense I think. Thanks a lot. :cool:

Here is the Guitar Only......
It's a stereo file, but really 2 mono guitars panned L/R, so you can split it easily.

got it, its loaded in Sonar. In the morning I will edit this and post a version that everyone can work with. Thanks Ed! :cool:
 
As predicted MS nailed it, great job.

OK, click my link and check out Mad Dog, we have our structure now :cool:

Meh, it was a so-so job, although I think I only used bits of 8 takes, not really 24 :o 24 sounded more impressive though :D My timing could have been better. I'll just tell myself I was responding to the groove that will be on the real drum track :o :o :rolleyes:

You'll be pleased to know I could keep up with the synth bass low notes as I was actually playing a bass cello! This is the first full song I've cut since changing to C-G-D-A, it's like learning a new instrument, almost :)

I am the King of editing, you are gonna sound like a metronome. :D

So you took a normal bass and tuned it in fifths instead of fourths? Doesnt that mess with the intended string tension? Would be a LOT easier for actual cellists to play bass if they could keep their tuning, thats a pretty cool idea.

I was a bass player many years ago, I havent touched it since college. I was going to get one but I am poor and lazy.

Well I have a short scale bass these days. At 30.5", it's much closer to cello length than a real bass (42" for a 3/4 size, but you probably knew that). Effectively, that makes my open string roughly the length of a normal electric bass (34") second fret.

I got the idea after playing an upright for a few months. You really gotta move your hand big time on those bad boys! So I figured, it's pretty lazy to play a short scale bass tuned in fourths, and if I retuned, I would have a 5 string bass range :cool:

So I took a 5 string set, used the B for a C, the E for a G, the D for the D, and the G for an A. So that gives me tension within a whole step for all strings, as compared to a standard electric scale length :)

I did have to recut the nut slot on the bottom two strings, and of course reset intonation. The intonation still isn't great on the C string, but I don't generally play that string above 5th fret, so no worries.

Hey MS, nice job. That sounds pretty cool to me. :cool:
 
Thanks a lot Gorty!

I am loading all this up now, gonna edit a bit then....... take my nap. :o I will post all of this together tonite, this should sound pretty darn good!!!!!
 
OK kids, click my sig for the newest version. There is a measure of bass missing, dont worry I'm putting it back. :rolleyes: I edited a bit of bass, it doesnt need much.

Dogman and Gorty: your stuff works surprisingly good together :cool: Its just a draft but this sucka is SHAPIN UP INTO MUSIC. I am a mediocre Home recording guy but a kickass editor, I will make the edits cleaner.

Also keep in mind:

This is a DavidK production. Those who have heard DavidK productions know that they are HUGE, there will be a lot of tracks on this sucker. I will start adding Keyboards tonite. The errr, ummm...gasp...... fiddle :o stuff will go in at the very end probably so I dont step over the vox.

Oh, I only looked at one of Gortys parts, I will do the other later.
