[RELEASE INSIDE!] DMBTabs.com Joint-Effort Grey Street Cover

[i-am-me]

I don't really want in on this cause its a little late, and i dont have any of the equipment anyways! but i'll be really excited to see the finished product. Definetly get it up and running soon!

[billywestom]

If you would like me to do a big solo type thing I could do that too.

Cool! Just use your judgement...

I've been trying some little chords out, and I figured out a good part that will go over the main riff well. So who are you going to send your file to first? Like, what order will the parts be put into the song?

[Cor]

So here's the latest list in recording order (those in green have completed their track. Those in blue have confirmed they'll be doing this:

Roastbeef: Acoustic Rhythm (6 String)
Trippin Hillbilly: Lead Vocals
I'mWithFatjack: Bass
geekmug: Drums
isaac: Background Vocals
billywestom: Acoustic Improv
Cor: Electric Leads
PureDaveAddict: Trumpet
Coldchillin23222: Sax
juineaux: Mandolin

Yup Coldchillin23222. Go get that mic!

I am getting pretty excited about this.. Really excited. How would you like me to confirm that I will do this?

here's what i can do to help...

if you let me mix it down, give all the tracks to me at once, and then i'll get hayden to put the bass down and then i will mix everything together...
and please listen to geekmug, do not put effects on the tracks, i'll take care of that on the mixdown

[billywestom]

The way this has to work is one person has to do the main track, then someone adds a piece, then passes the entire thing to another person, and so on. This is because we don't know what the timing will be like, and no one knows how much one person will add to the song, or where. I suggest that Geekmug sends his file (just main guitar part) to Hillbilly, so he can add the lyrics. Then he can send the single file (now with lyrics) to someone else (say, the bass player) and he adds his. See what I'm saying?

[Cor]

I know the rule is NO effects..but would you consider overdrive/distortion an effect? I am working out my part right now, but it uses distortion, is that ok?

Again, how can I confirm that I will am this?

I don't see how we can work on it already without a lead track to work over. Are we supposed to just play our part over the actual CD song, so we all have the same timing?

Hold on guys. Slow down. I know this thread is getting a bit long, but all your questions are answered here. Here is the current list of participants and in the order they will record. Again, those in green have completed their track and those in blue have confirmed they'll be doing this:

Roastbeef: Acoustic Rhythm (6 String)
Trippin Hillbilly: Lead Vocals
I'mWithFatjack: Bass
geekmug: Drums
isaac: Background Vocals
billywestom: Acoustic Improv
Cor: Electric Leads
PureDaveAddict: Trumpet
Coldchillin23222: Sax
juineaux: Mandolin

Again, I will collect the raw tracks and distribute them to the next participant. I'm done and Trippin has the file. Once he's done he get it to me and I'll PM I'mWithFatjack with the URL for the tracks. He'll then provide his file and I'll continue on to the next. Now realize, these are raw tracks so volume levels may not be right, but they should provide the foundation necessary to add your track.

Here's an excerpt from one of my previous posts outlining how the rhythm was done and how to format your track:

As an FYI to everyone here's some info about my track:

The acoustic rhythm starts exactly at the 10 second mark. It was recorded while playing along with the Busted Stuff version, but I kept the rhythm going for an additional 30 seconds past when it fades out on the stuidio version for some additional jamming. I end with the F#/D. We might want to do a fade too, but we'll work that out on the mix down. I've cleaned up all noise to the best of my ability and added some compression. I did not EQ nor did I apply any reverb.

For eveyone else's track, please:

• Convert it to MP3 format.
• Start your track at 0:00.000 in relation to the rhythm guitar even if you will not be playing/singing for a few seconds/minutes so we can line all these up just by starting at 0 seconds.
• Provide as clean a file as possible. If you don't now how to do any noise reduction, etc., ask here and someone else can do it.
• Keep it dry, i.e. no effects or reverb.

When everyone is finished, I'll pass these to fatjack for the mix down. geekmug - you can fool with mixing them too if you want.

Hope this clears things up...

GOT IT!!!

[juineaux]

this is gonna be cool!
ive got a badass mando line ready

[Coldchillin]

So wait, we just send you just our part? Simple enough. It'd be nice to hear the other part though, for tempo

[Roastbeef]

No. Read above. I started it with the rhythm, Trippin will do a vocal track. He'll send his vocals to me and both will go to I'mWithFatjack. When he's finished, I send all three to geekmug, and on down the line...

I totally understand now how we're gonna do this. But why doesn't each person put them all together as one track when they're finished...won't it get confusing sending four or five files to a person?

[Coldchillin]

Someone will need to tell me how to record over the song while keeping what's on it, etc...
