I played with my organ just now :D

Well hey, let me know what you guys think of this. I wrote up this part...
It's probably in the mix too loud right now, but just for the sake of hearing the part better now I did that.
Too over the top, or just right? fitting for the song?
It's all in one take, chords with left hand, lead with right so I wasn't able to use the volume knob for "swells"
Also, I'm still playing the light chords behind Gorty's solo in case you want that, it just sounded like too much of a drop in sound IMO for the synth to totally disappear, but feel free to cut that or quiet that a lot.
Yeah, let me know if you like this Lemon, or I could easily tone it down some, drop the leads, just play the chords, and swell them more... or swell this part more through software envolopes. Or record it better if you think it's off. I'll PM you the file now in case this is "the one".

Other random thoughts...
Cincy Kid's vocals give me the 3 doors down vocal dudes vibe sometimes
I think the fade in the outro should be longer... it's too sudden now.
I changed the tone of my organ some, to the "Deep Purple" preset I had made before.

Cheers guys :)

Hey SnakeDude,

I could only listen on some crappy pc speakers at work and contrary to your comment, I found the volume levels of your "organ" :D a liitle low to really hear what is going on especially the lead line over the chords!

I think I can see where Lemon is trying to get with this Hammond "organ" :D thingy!

This sounds good. Intense vocals and guitar lines – I listened to both True’s and Cincy’s.

I think it’d sound good with a little more kick and snare - with more body and less zing to the snare.

Thanks for the input Tim, I've got a lot of work to do with the drums. I think they're gonna take a bit of automation to get them right to pull the toms out on some places. I agree the snare needs a bit more ass on it.

I'm pulling your organ down now snake...ooh er!

Hehehehe.......You said "ass" and "organ".................. :D

and amazingly, the organ fits the hole I left for it :p

I had a quick shuffle at the faders there and it's sounding sweet. I;m starting to kick my own arse over the programed drums...wish I had space for an acoustic kit here. The melt from Hammond to guitar solo is sweet though, no complaints there...exactly as it was in my head :)

Nice work Snake :)

btw, is that a good or a bad thing about the 3 doors down thingy? :D

Thanks Cincy. Yeah I mean the 3 doors down thing as a compliment ;) Very cool vox.

Awesome, glad the part is working out :) Thanks for hooking me up with a good hole for my organ to fill :D

Good luck with those drums!

Groty! :)

Thanks Sir Groty, I agree that the volume isn't as extreme as I thought last night! But then again I tried to do a part where my organ doesn't stick out too much, but still could if wanted. We'll see what Lemon does with it :cool:
 
That's some crazy organ Snake dude.

I know I've been away guys. This song is coming together very nicely. I'm not gonna get into a breakdown of compliments. Just everyone's stuff sounds really cool.

I just wanted to say a blanket "this rocks" for this songs. I've been listening to it over and over and Cincy man, 3 doors down may be cool but his sound is a little whinny. So you go man!

:D
 
Lemon, I won't be able to redo the vocals, so just do whatever you want with what you got...good luck on the finished song...can't wait to hear the polished product!!!

And Snake, that rocks!!! :D

TRUE :)

bummer! Hmmm, that leaves me with a bit of a headache for sure.
 
More cowbell

Well I finally downloaded and listened to one of the mixes (Gorty's with Cincy's vox.. You guys ROCK!!!)
I found this thread Friday (I've been swallowed by real life for a while) and was reminded of the fun we had doing the 'Done With You' collab last year...
This weekend I found myself with a little 'extra' time to tinker in my studio and thought 'hey... what the heck' ;)
So now, if you're interested, I have some drum tracks to add to the soup... I was hoping to have a link for you to give a listen, but my home computer doesn't do Internet too well anymore ('Remember.. we bought it to RECORD with...') and the CD I threw the tracks on to upload from work is not being recognized as being any known Windows format :mad:
I'll try it from home again tonight so you can have a listen...
It's kinda weird hearing the mp3 'mixdown' since the tracks rest on the track I pulled down from Gorty's link and there is already the canned drums on it... There's a couple of spots where you'll notice that the drum machine's meter drifts from mine slightly... (You should get that thing fixed Lemon... ) :rolleyes: lol

Hopefully I'll be able to post them tonight... If you want to use them I can send you the full 8 tracks, or a stereo mixdown along with the raw snare and kick if you need to ride fader on just those...

If you don't need em, no problemo... Always fun to work with stuff from folks on these boards :)

Drums

OK...
Here's some drums for the choon if anyone wants em....
Remember... Meter variations are due primarily to the stretched tape or sumpin in Lemon's drum machine.... :rolleyes:

Seriously, there is some sloppiness sounding in some of the fills because of my fills clashing with the canned fills... But there's also cowbell so it should work out... :cool:
Also, I think I had the guide tracks running pretty hot in my deck when I was playing so there may be slight clipping on the music portion...
