Fil,

 

It's startling how close you and I are on the drum track.

Your take on it also gave me an idea for a B section. I'm eating at the moment, and need to think on it some more, but I believe it would be right up the alley on this one.

If you and Dave come to agreement on the structure, I'll do drums.

 

Think Copeland with a smattering of Gould restraint.

(I'm sensing an inevitable collaboration between no-one but the "Dave"s of this forum...)

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

Digging the vocals, man - whole different feel to it now. :thu: That bass solo was pretty wicked, too! Did you straight overlay that on the original, or did you have to 'adjust' it any?

I'm liking the vocals dude...that's killer. Does anything need to change in the tentative arrangment? (I don't think it does, but not positive.)

 

Nice bass solo also...I couldn't help but slap this part too, although mine's a little more like what I have in mind for the percussion solo (the bass solo is the start of the percussion solo, essentially).

 

If the arrangement doesn't need to be any different, can you provide a track that syncs up with the reference track?

 

Thx,

Dave

Thanks, Dave. yeah I can post a shortened file to match your click track no problem..let me know what you think of the lyrics I used...any good. I couldn't get all of them to fit...without rushing them.

Great stuff Dave, had a quick listen (at work) :eek: Cant wait to get home and see if we an get a third verse and some BKV...

Hey Fil:

 

I'm not sure we need a 3rd verse...there's instrumental stuff going on over that section. A third chorus we do need, however. I think it would be cool to use the same lyrics, but maybe sing them just a little different in the 3rd chorus. OR, maybe use slightly different lyrics sung the same way in the 3rd chorus???

 

I'm thinking the percussion solo sounds a little rushed toward the end...I'll have to look at re-recording that part. Also, all the low end disappears after the bass solo...I may have to lug my 26" kick drum from the attic to fill in that space! LOL!

 

Cool beans...

Yeah, I agree about the ending chorus. Lots of space there, and it would bring it home nicely if there were some vocals intermingled with the instrumental action - maybe ad-lib a little something from the original part?

Just to add, that the adlib can be edited to allow space for whatever else you guys have in mind, if you want.. :)

right, I'm going to hit the sack :freak:

I'm in No-Band-Width-Land again so I'll have to wait until work to hear what you've got down. I thought there were lots of odd moments in there were a tallented vocalist would exercise their adlib abilities :thu: and come out on top of something the solo's can really cut away from.

 

Glad it was of some use no matter what you do to fix it. :thu:

I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder.

By the way folks, if I've neglected to acknowledge anyone who has said "I can contribute", I apologize. Not intentional, chalk it up to me being somewhat scatter-brained.

 

So, here's what I probably should have posted much earlier: the "virtual team" for song #2

 

Me - music composition, arrangement, bass, percussion, backup vocals, interim test mixes

Shoes - lyric composition

FIL - lyric composition and lead vocal

Chris Kemp - guitar, final mixing/mastering

PBBPaul - guitar

Offramp - drums and percussion

Nursers - keyboards

Rhonda Sisk - backup vocals

 

If I've missed anyone, please don't be offended...just PM me and tell me I'm slack and what I should add to this post.

 

Thx!

Dave

I used to work in the school cafeteria at Berklee, and there was another kid working there named "Charles Hunter Prendergast, IV" (I'm not making that up) He usually went by Hunter, but some folks called him Charles.

 

Anyway, at the start of the shift, the manager would dole out assignments to us scrubs and one day went like this:

 

Charles - you do the serving line

Bill - peel potatoes

Hunter - stock the plate racks

Dave - dishroom

Prendergast - we need you to do salads

:freak::D
