That was a pretty perfect burn. Hat's off :D

Groovejunkie - exactly...lol...Thanks

B.Sabbath - All I wanna' know is, which suck worse; my posts, or my tunes? :D - Actually, it's good to know that my written posts don't portray me as a slow, bi-polar James Taylor wannabe that put you to sleep at every turn. Yes, THOSE traits are reserved for my music.

RKID - why thank you. I'd heard the DC version exactly once before yesterday, and it was a live performance, but not on SNL. I heard their studio version for the first time yesterday, and they stuck pretty close to the original...which is cool; I tried to do the same.

now and then some of my old high school friends invite me to come play in their monthly poker game (i think it's actually weekly but they don't want me to be too hurt that i'm only invited like once every six months) and when it comes time for me to pick the game i call six card draw where all red face cards and sixes are wildcards and they get all pissed at me but it's a lot of fun for me anyway :).

LOL - Nice post. In Texas, we refer to that game as "Pussy Poker," and then we hang the guy that suggested it. :D

Chris you better have a #1 hit on your next clinic submission cause I am gonna write a 4 page review and I am not gonna be easy on ya! :D
 
Chris,

I’m very impressed with many aspects of your recording, arrangement and interpretation of this song, but the thing that gets to me the most is the feeling. It’s quite evident that you love this song as the emotion you put into it is at the utmost & is reciprocated.

I don’t care what kind of music it is, if it doesn’t move me on some level, it gets listened to once and I trash it. This got a bunch a' listens and appeals to me on many levels.

I won’t comment on the mix as I’ve just embarked in that department, but I will on the musicianship. Quite solid ! ( ya’ got a chip off the ol’ block to bro’ ……sweet, isn’t it? ??? ) [My Anthony is 16 and is presently vacillating between “litigating or gigging”. He’s got the smarts and the talent for both…….. I’m just telling him to go with his passion.]

Specific question: What presets or tweaking did you use in C.E.P. especially on the vocals to get it so fine?!?!?! Man, not even considering what you had to work with on the initial takes, does that sound nice!!!!

Hey flat-9, I appreciate the listen. I've heard your chops, so it's apparent to me that you're lieing your ass off about my "musicianship," lol, but I appreciate it.

Your question: CEP is an amazing piece of software, in my opinion. As for the vocals...I do 2 things to them in CEP...I use one of 2 actual presets for the compression. The 2 vocal presets.

"Vocal Comp" (5.5 : 1)
"Vocal Comp" (8:1)

The second one's obviously a little softer, so I tend to use it on slower tunes. Both of these amplify the crap out of sibilance, so I need to work on tweaking the bands to NOT amplify between a certain bandwidth... The bottom line is that I'm not a snob about presets...I think these work well for me and others I've recorded, so I start with those.

Reverb - I've used the "Concert Hall Light" a TON, but just cut the "wet" in half. Like if it's normally 30%, then cut it down to 15% for the lead, and leave it at 30% for the backups. I'm getting more into the plate reverbs for vocals now - There's one in the FULL REVERB section called "Medium Vocal Plate." That's what I used on here. By the way, with the exception of the presets that are LABELED "vocal" something, the concert hall light and the medium vocal plate are the only ones I've found useful.

The rest of the "magic" of my vocal, lol...I can attribute to screaming ultra-high backup vocals on stage with a cigarette in my mouth for a decade or so. I recommend Phillip-Morris products, b/c they put extra shit in their product that is intended to more effectively addict the consumer that has the added benefit of scraping the timbre out of your vocal cords. I'll be dead in a little while, however, so it's good to type long posts like this to pass on what I've learned, lol.

Going to check out your latest now.

Esquire,

3) Whip me, but I'm a Brown & Williamson fan.

Thanks for checkin out Input Needed (Yo Anthony)..........But I missed you on "Red, White & B3". No one has yet to mention their like or distain for the S.S.B. musical quotes. I included them on this forum specifically to get a rise outta someone, but to no avail.

2) I LOVE CEP, I've simply never processed vocals w/it and truly appreciate your tips and the time to send me the info, as I'm just venturing into that now. I put your tips in a folder named "Mango Manipulations" ( I rarely read manuals and unless I'm up against the wall.):confused:

1) Musicianship has nothing to do with chops...it's all about the feel, so I'm not lieing about your musicianship which is intrinsic, besides the fact that you've made more than a few trips to the shed and have paid your dues. If you sucked, I'd tell you so. ;)

No kidnapping necessary!:D

Hey Esquire,

You kill me @ 3:30 - 3: 32 everytime! It's so pure & personal. Simply perfect.
 
Hey Chris,
I'd like to personally thank you and Ralph for giving Virginia your business! The residents here would love to take some credit in some way that would link them with such talent! I don't think it's the smokes though....but until something better comes along, we'll go with that!

sorry for bringing this thread back up BUT...

I know I haven't been posting.. or reading here lately.. but I came in tonight to see what's happened since teh good ole' 1.5 challenge.. (yeah that was a while ago.. I know) and I couldn't help but d/l this song and read up on it's thread..

Chris,
You are a truely amazing and inspiring musician. I have listened to your music intently since I joined here. You have also contributed greatly to my threads and I thank you for that.
I have to tell you that I felt a huge sink in my heart when I read of your injury. My heart truely goes out to you. I know that if I messed my hand up that I'd just have to quit trying to play guitar altogether. You pull it off without hesitation or a hint of trouble.

Bravo.

Hey man, that was pretty thoughtful of you, and I appreciate the sentiment a lot, but if I have one more thread on the front page of this BBS, I'm afraid some fellow clinicians are gonna' hire somebody to take off the rest of my arm, lmao!!

Naw, seriously...posts like yours are what make this place more than just another distraction on the web.

Now go record something, lol...(unless you're injured, in which case, go hang out in the cave for a month or two, THEN RECORD LOTS).

:D
 
He plays better than I do, and my hands are fine!

Clog up the front page all you want Chris. I won't bitch. Promise.
