I'm not sure if any forum members would be interested in the following conundrum, but thought I would ask since our/my technical skills with synthesizers and recording is limited.
I'm in a Beatles tribute band. We cover the entire spectrum of Beatles music with the help of a Roland XP-50 and Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer. We also inject certain small bits from a laptop via ABLETON LIVE. We also have SONAR 7 and are fairly good with it. Anyway, we would like to cover the song "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles on the Revolver album. We can duplicate pretty much everything but the seagull type noises in the song. After some research, we know the original used tape loops, usually reversed and speed-ed up. Different sources say it was a guitar or a voice laughing. We've tried reversing the original clips and slowing them down, but we can't seem to get close to it and were wondering if anyone on the forum would like to give it a crack. Since it's a tape looped based song, thought I'd put it in this area, but not sure that matters.
We've tried isolating the sample and filter/EQing the other frequency bands and just pulling the sample off the record, but we don't want to use copyright material and we can't isolate it to the point where we'd use it anyway. We could pay a bit of money as well. Remember that this will be used in a "live" performance and the brief sample triggered via ABLETON.
Kind regards, Capt. Ron
