Hooper Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Okay, Ive been writing/rewriting/tracking/rewriting on this for about a week now so I guess its ready to toss it out and see if any people are interested to work together on it as one of the next tsunami project tunes?

offramp Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I call drums on this one! Would also like to give bass a shot, as well as some BG vox. I call DRUMS! Any way I can get a non-drum mix from you? I'd prefer a click in the countoff, only, if possible...leave the rest drumless. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

nursers Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hopper, that is an excellent song! Would love to do keys on this one. I call Keys!!

Tedster Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I hear a harmonica somewhere in that. Used tastefully, mind you, probably more in the background. Nice job! "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoffman Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Harmonica, thats very interesting Ted. I was thinking Mandolin, accenting the 9ths and major7ths. Its cool how you guys put things together I've been tracking the progress, and I want to contribute so bad, but I need the means to do so. I know I said I could get software but I think my friend flaked on me so I'm gonna go out and buy some software tomorrow, either cakewalk or garage band... Anyway, sorry for the intrusion! When I get what I need I can be of help in any way I can...

Hooper Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 Okay guys. Thanks for the positive response and it looks like weve got the start of a project team! Ill put up a roster and hopefully some more will jump in soon. Clearly theres not going to be the big deadline crunch here like there was Song #1 but hopefully we can get things moving quickly and keep some momentum going throughout the project! Drums- Offramp Keys- Nursers, DanS Bass- C. Alexander Claber Rhythm Guitar- Hooper Other guitar 1 ____________ Other guitar 2 ____________ Lead Vocals ____________ Background Vocals- Offramp, Hooper, prblack, & ____________ & ____________ Ear Candy (harmonica, mandolin, bazooka??) ____________& __________ Mixing- DanS Some organizational questions for discussion: 1) What about the song structure? Before we go any further do we need to make any adjustments to arrangement, tempo, chords..? Im not sure about the ending. If we would rather do a fade-out then we probably need to tag on a few more measures. What else? 2) Can we assume that we will be following the protocol set out by Dave Sisk, How To: Recording, overdubbing, and sharing tracks remotely for resolution, time sync, etc? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000344 3) The demo mix is at 115bpm. Can anyone tell me if that is still exactly in time after you convert mp3 to wav and import onto your system? If so, that might make it easier to get some preliminary work done (working out parts) BTW it would be nice for folks to mention what kind of platform they will be using. 4) Unfortunately, Im out in the sticks without broad band so uploading wavs is out for me. Maybe if someone else on the team can help I can mail them my wav tracks on a data CD and they can relay to the mixing guy via broadband? Doing this might help some of the other folks still on dial-up be able to participate too So, What else?

alexclaber Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 HJ, if you can't get the technological stuff sorted then I'll step in for bass.

offramp Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hooper, I think the structure and tempo are just fine. This whole tune has a Eagles-turned-Beatles-having-lunch-with-Tom Petty-and Finn Brothers-picking-up-the-tab kinda thing. It's a great mellow that one can sit in and get lost in for a few minutes. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prblack Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Great Song!! I'd like to contribute some keys,bass or background vox or rythm guitar. Just let me know. I want to be invoved in this project in any way I can. Prblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Okay, welcome aboard C.Alexander Claber and prblack. I've updated the tentative roster on the post above. We still need to recruit a lead vocal, a lead guitar player and a mix/mastering person. If you know of anybody, maybe send them over here to take a look and listen? Offramp, I can put up a mix as-is without drums tonight if you still want to play with that. Keeping in mind that anything you record with it may not be usable when we get down to tracking 'keeper' tracks, due to possible sync error between wav and mp3 tracks. But I'll put that up if you want to mess around with it. Hooper music at http://www.abjconstruction.net/hoop.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 You don't want the lead vocal, Hoop? "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'd like to comp Springsteen and Chris Rea for the lead vocal. If that's not possible, I think the lead vox needs some help. Maybe someone who can even move the notes around a little bit to make the lead line more melodic. Know anybody who could do that?

Tedster Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 It sure would be swell if we could con Jeremey Hunsicker (x-factor music) into doing one of the vocals on these things.

Hooper Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks EDinWestLA. Nursers is already in for keys. I'm not sure exactly what he has in mind so maybe there's room for both. The instrumental lead is still just a blank 8 bars. Anyway, if your interested we'd be glad for your help.

EDinWestLA Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Actually, I only posted to say you did a good job on the demo. I actually played along with the demo with a piano sound, and it worked for me. I wasn't asking to actually play on the finished track, but thanks for the invite. Also, doesn't it seem like the same 7 or 8 people working on these songs? I'd like to hear other ppl's interpretations since I already know my own.

Hooper Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Okay man. And good point that we should try and bring in some more people who haven't already participated in the previous projects. We still definitely still need someone to step up for the mixing/mastering job and there's still room for another guitar(s) especially for fills. The instrumental lead is undefined and could be guitar or synth or maybe something exotic that helps bring in some southeast Asian world flavor? We're just playing with the mp3 demo mixes now. When we get a mixing/mastering guy onboard I'll work with him to coordinate and get things organized and get out a wav guide track.

offramp Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'm referring to the one up above that you referenced for Tedster. Clicking on it does nothing, and even entering it into the URL field gets a "can't find server' response. Yes, I would like a drumless mix. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.
