In addition I have fairly deep webs on my fingers, so my span is very limited. I can swim well though. :)

LMAO, bluesman. :D

BTW, the other song is You're the Biggest Part of Me. I'm guessing you will probably recognize it when you hear it (although I'm not sure you'll get it from the midi file). Great song.

Oops! Sorry, must have been a Freudian slip. The Best part of me most assuredly isn't the Biggest. :D

Guys,

Thanks for your kind words in regards to my Grand Mother. I've been by her bed side for most of the day.. I even did a couple of hours at work! I had to come home because I was too tired, plus I've got a bug that is going around my Office at the moment... my lovely Wife gave it to me.

My Nan is 91 years old, turning 92 in 2 weeks to the day. dachay2tnr, in regards to her pulling through, we are now just hoping that it will be a peaceful time for her and she will pass in her sleep. She has passed comments in the last couple of days that she is ready to go. In the last 5 years we have had about 3 calls from the hospital saying that she might not make it through the night, various times over the years, however she has a VERY strong heart... like all of her 8 brothers and sisters. She is the last one left.

Anyway, again, thank you for all of your kind words.

Daniel
 
Hey Daniel, sorry to hear about your Grandmother, hope she has a peaceful time of it, whatever happens. She's lucky to have some folk around her like you and your family.

I wish you all well:) .
 
Bluesmeister, all this discussion of dificult chords has had me dusting off some of the more obscure chords I used to play...but have long since forgotten:( Now I remember why I "forgot" them in the first place.:D

My theory is that if it isn't in the 1-5-1-7-5-1 progression, you don't need it!! :cool:

Ah, so then it was your little pinky that Paul was taking about. :)

Yeah man... :D
I never knew the difference of chord (ough... silly me :o ), but I knew how to make those girls scream :D :D :D


.....errrr, that's what makes MTV is a problem now, eh :confused: :eek: :p :rolleyes: :D

Three chord, and you're top cellebrities... :rolleyes:

Good news, DAW is running again now... back on the road... yippeeee..!!! :D

Hey, moskus... attracted to your advertising, I went to local music shop and I saw V-Amp 2. Damn, the price beats POD in so many way... I tried it with rather small amps, I cannot hear the difference between two for the price !!! Would you tell me the review of your own ? I'm gonna need it very soon...

Now, I fix / service three of my guitar. 2 electric & 1 acoustic. Re-fretting, rewiring, nut adjustment, paint scraping (back to natural wood color), and so on... I'm going to replace the pickup (currently has DiMarzio X2N humbucker which is abit "too harsh" for me) to somehing that sounds smoother & crispy. I got my eyes on Fender Lace Sensor, but they don't have humbucker version on stock by now... gotta wait for it :)

Hey, I also put this question on the guitar & bass forum, but I'll ask again here, since many of you guys are guitar player, do you have any idea what pickup (preferably humbucker) that sounds great for vintage rock/blues sound...? Brand and type ? Thank's brutha's :)
 
OK guys...

I just did a scratch vocal for BPOM. I can do this one. In fact the scratch vocal turned out better than I thought it might. Some of the falsetto parts could be a bit better, but I'll take it for a scratch track and I know I can improve on it immensley on the final track. I had about 15 minutes to track this and mix it. No warm up whatsoever on this, first shot at it, holding the lyric sheet in front of me, plus I had just eaten cookies & milk (not a great idea before a vocal cut - there goes the diet today :D). So I'd say...yeah I can definitely do it. In fact I think it would be an absolute blast.

I posted an MP3 here so you guys can check it out. I kept at at 128 kbps since it's such a long song.

Also, I still would be totally willing to do "Reminscing" too if we wanted to do both.
 
Jagular
I'll D/L that this evening and lend an ear. I'm looking forward to this...

BTW, when (or perhaps IF) we get to recording these collaborations, we'll need to establish a bit depth and sampling rate to ensure that we're all the same. This, I presume, will eliminate timing drift due to differing sample rates.

I think those who are SB users are stuck with 48kHz. Is this true?

Jaymz
I saw your post on the Guitar Forum. The best solution for you is a guitar equipped with HBs that are coil-tapped.

A HumBucker pick up is essentially two coils in close proximty that are wound in opposite directions. Coil tapping switches out one of the coils leaving you with a Single Coil pick up.

The Ibanez AR300-series Artists (and some other Ibanez models I should add) are fitted with Tri-Tone switches that allow HumBucker, Parallel Coils and Single Coil depending on the position of the switch.

Coil Taps are activated through the Tone switch. They are usually Push-On/Push-Off type switches with the switch sitting in the high position when it's tapped (that is Single Coil mode).

It will take some fancy soldering to the wiring to set them up but could be well worth the effort.

Hey, great news, John. Like BluesMeister, I'm still not sure we are actually gonna pull this off, but this is signs of progress at least. :p

I d/l'd it, but can't listen now as I'm at work. I'll check it out tonight.

Porter, I guess you can go ahead an post the midi file now.
 
This is a public announcement!

I'm back home and moved in to my/our new appartment. Now I just need some speakers, and I'll be back in the game. Now, give me the links to the songs to listen to... to ..... to.... too? :D
 
Hey, welcome back, moskus! It was very tough keeping the "Hey Moskus" thread alive in your absence, but we managed. :)

Jag, I listened to BPOM. Nice job, man. Some intonation problems here and there, and you lost the melody a bit in the bridge - all of which I know is simply due to the fact that you are just learning the song. In the meantime, you've convinced me (and yourself it appears) that you can handle this song with no problem. You nailed them high parts pretty good, my man. :D

So gentlemen. . . . . where do we go from here? Who's in. Who's playing what? etc. etc.
 
Jagular
I'm humbled.

That's a great voice you've got there.

I don't know this song at all, so I was unaware of any melodic transgressions. There were some tough notes in the higher registers, but you got there Jagular. Much respect to you. :)

I must say the bare nakedness of sticks, keyboard & vox worked for me.

Dachay
Let's just say that if this particular project doesn't become a reality, we've at least stirred up some interest in the idea.

My level of confidence regarding recording is none too high at present, but I'm willing to give it a go.

Moskus
Good to see yer back. The front I'm not too sure of... :D

You should find the links to the scratch tracks on Porter's web page. I haven't completed the Reminiscing MIDI track yet due to lack of time in the evenings. It's not too tricky, a bit more cut & paste should see it through to completion. The drums I have used may be a bit busy for the purpose of a scratch track. Please let me know if you prefer them to be much more simplified.

I'm sorry once again if I lapsed into the realms of sensibility in this thread. I'll be going to see my therapist next week.

I'm not sure what all of that means, BluesMeister. Are you in or out??

Here's my summary:

1. We have a gazillion guitar players, but not one has stepped forward to handle the guitar parts in this song.
2. We need a bass. To make it even easier, the entire bass line is already there for you in the midi track. Where's our bass players.
3. There's several keyboard parts in this song. There's a Rhodes (I believe) playing the part I have in the midi track. There's also a piano, and I think a hammond. James, Clemmie, anyone?
4. Sax. I don't think we have a sax player among us. ChuckU, want to try it on trumpet?
5. Drums. If we don't have a drummer among us, I can get our drummer to do it.
6. BGV's. Great BGV's in this song. I think it may be difficult to try and do harmonies at separate locations (but I'm willing to try). If not and you want the Dachays to do them, I'm pretty sure I can pull that off. <shameless plug> For those not familiar with the Dachays - you can check out one of our songs at http://mywpages.comcast.net/jcaporaso/music/ Any one of them will have vocal harmony in it. Try Can't Find the Time if you also want to hear ChuckU's trumpet. </shameless plug>

If anyone needs a copy of the original song to work from, I have it on CD. I'd be more than glad to make an mp3 and e-mail it you. Or if Porter wants to host it, even better (although that might be illegal).

I'm warning all of you, this is my frist and last Do It for The Gipper speech. If there's no interest, then I guess there's no interest. I'm still willing to do Reminiscing, if the issue is the song.

Mike

I know Remininscing, I don't know BPOM but I'm willing to learn it.

Yes, I'd need a copy of the song and a chord sheet if possible.

I'll PM you my e-mail address.

Let's Do It For The Gipper!

That's the spirit, Mr. BluesMeister. I will create an mp3 tonight and send it to you tomorrow.

Compared to Reminiscing, the guitar in this one is a piece of cake. (Hmmmm.. come to think of it, they're all pretty easy when I ain't the one who gots to play them :) )


So where are the rest of you wimps??? Don't tell me BluesMeister is the only man among you (actually we ain't too sure about him either :D ).
