I know John, but a few posts above mine, FunkJazz was talking about doing an electric rhythm track. I'll still plan on working something out, and if it's used, cool, if not no biggie.
I really don't know what to put here.

I can connect to yout FTP server (as anon) but it doesn't seem to want to receive my files..

 

Are other people having this problem?

Have had a successful upload from DJDM.....and bunny was able to download my tracks last night...

LOL at Bunny!!

 

Well, whatever works as far as the click. I just started the file in DP tonight so I can roll first thing in the morning on it. (Well...after coffee, anyhoo..). Imported into DP as 44.1/16 per Philaxander the Great.

Looking through my setup, it may be awfully time-consuming and/or problematic to convert each individual track from AIFF to WAV. Can anyone else handle that? (I am assuming that whomever is mixing this would want indie tracks from me, yes?)

I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

133.78? He's using metric conversion to appease nursers!

 

I used 134, and sent the info on original sync points to O'Keefe. I sent AIFF, hope that works. The parts I recorded were mono guitar, it seemed pointless to convert them to stereo SDII files.

 

If there's typos here, it's because I hit the whiskey while my stupid dialup sent 6 megs to Phil!

You are absolutely right - since changing tempo to that my tracks line up much better :thu:

Offramp, if you're doing drums, here's what I would prefer:

 

AIF or WAV, I don't really care too much either way. BWF's are preferred, but I can load WAV, BWF or AIF, so if it's a hassle for you, just give me whatever is easiest.

 

44.1 kHz, 16 bit please.

 

133.78 is the tempo. Ideally you'll want to load Tedster's latest rough mix in and use his click (which should be hard panned to one side, with his scr. mix of vox / gtr hard panned to the other side. I had him do that so you folks could balance out the vox / gtr vs click ratio to your tastes while tracking. :)

 

Yes, Offramp, I would like individual tracks from you. :thu: Ideally I'd like stereo overheads (XY or spaced pair - your call), kick, snare and individual toms. A "just in case" hat mic may be nice to have, but isn't crucial, especially if you feel you are getting plenty in the overheads. Give me whatever you can, but if you can also drop me a message here with the mics you used and other documentation, it may be useful.

 

Last thing - please reference everything to "zero" on the DAW timeline so that I can align things easier. If you don't know what I'm talking about (anyone) don't worry about it - I'll nudge it in and align it here.

 

Other than some rack time tonight, I'll all yours for the next two days folks. Anyone who needs to contact me can get the numbers from my website - just remember that the 360 number is now 951 area code, NOT 909. I've really got to update that on my site. :rolleyes: The 489 number is still 909 though.

Here's a ROUGH mix purely for the purpose of updating everyone on the progress of recording:

 

Fear - ROUGH progress update mix. (very, very incomplete mix) <---link

 

This rough mix has DJDM's Wurli track, Forceman's Fender bass track, and a rough comp of one of PBBPaul's guitar solos.

 

Tedster's vocals are scratch tracks. He's going to record the keeper lead vocal tracks on Friday or Saturday.

 

Offramp is planning on recording the live drum tracks on Friday.

 

Nursers just uploaded some new tracks that I'm going to d/l in a minute.

Outstanding work Bunny. Excellent job of keeping it organized, and providing everyone with a good working "progress" rough mix and letting us know where everything stands. :cool:

 

Good report! :thu:

 

PS The only thing you left off is whether you and FoxTick are going to be able to make it down here, and if so, when? ;)

 

PPS Sounds good folks. :thu:

I just recieved a brilliant piece of encouragement from Gary Husband which i want to share with of you here.

If you dont know Gary hes a world class drumer whos played with everyone from Billy Cobham to Allan Holdsworth.

Hes a dear dear friend and I know how upset he was by this event.

 

I want to profoundly congratulate you all on the Faces Of Friendship project you've set up. What a great thing. That's a fantastic impulse by you, and I wish the project all my sincere best. This is all just so dreadful there are no words I can even find to use. Truly dreadful.

Very cool!

 

I've been talking this up and I think the word of mouth will spread quickly.

Wow, Shars...now I'm chilled and freaked that the awesome Mr. Husband comments!! (Insert smiley of nervous dude pulling his collar away to relieve the pressure...)

 

PHIL:

 

Like I said last night, I loaded the scratch track in, panned it to taste. Template is ready to go. It's 9:20 a.m. here; I'm waiting for my wife to go to work so I can get busy on this.

I see now that I'll have to re-import the new updated scratch :D , which is just fine...I'd rather have more people to play with than a click and a tired songwriter anyhoo :P

 

Mics are as follows:

421 on kick

57 on snare

AT D3700 SD condensers on two rack toms

58 on floor ('cause I know you hate the C1000)

414 on overheads

I normally have a hat mic--an old AKG 160--but I'm thinking there's probably plenty o'hat (famous Irish drummer) in the overheads; I was wondering about doing an RCA DX77 as a mono overhead in addition to the 414's, just for options' sake.

Your call. In fact, check the fotos of my setup that I sent you, see if you want me to make any changes. Normally have the 414's as spaced pair, but if you'd like a different config...

 

Off for a minnit...wife's leaving, I need more coffee, and I gotta download the new rough.

I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

Hey, Bunny, or someone...

 

Can I get the scratch track minus the drums? Distracting.

 

Thanks.
