Just to let you guys know...the earliest I will be able to do my part is Monday. Hopefully I won't hold anyone back.
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well, and I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been...
well.. I'd love to contribute.. BUT.. there are two problems.. the first being that I am not feeling so hot when it comes to pulling of grey street.. but I can get over that.. the second problem is the big one.. I really can't play with the track I was provided.
For me to play drums with something means I have to pipe it into some headphones. The part that isn't working out so well is that I have to raise the volume of the reference enough to be able to hear it over the drums themselves.. that's the part I can't get happening. I intend no offense to the people on the track I have.. but the guitars are entirely to heavy.. Usually I can take a compressor and bump the volume up the nessecary amount, but I just get noise with this recording.. and I can't play with it quiet and I can't play with noise.. so rather then be badly out of time constantly.. and have to umptin hundred runs to not break doing a "oh wait, I am here in the song" .. I am just going to drop out.. sorry, guys

With everyone bailing, I'm wondering if this thing is even gonna happen.

In reality, probably yes. geekmug - if it'll help, go ahead and play the drum track along with the CD. That's what I did anyway. We can line it up with the rest of the tracks later. I did play the rhythm about 30 seconds past the fade out on the CD though. Will that work?Cor wrote:Couldn't you do the drums first? Isn't that how it is usually done?
Again, if there's anything I can do with the guitar track, lemme know. I can even provide the raw, totally unmodified rhythm track (i.e. no noise reduction, compression) and you can try to modify it in a way that you're used to. Again, it's a pretty clean recording, as far as I can tell.
Come on guys. Let's get this thing done! It's supposed to be fun and it's almost like work now...
