The link has been tested & it's a paid site so should be no problem with it. Later... Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it."

Hey thanks, Dak! I owe you one! I'd better start looking for a paid site too. I wasn't aware of all these limitations on the free ones. Thanks again!

Rim Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Yeah, thanks Dak, I got it downloaded. Paudil, You did good on guitar, especially the breaks and turnarounds. I don't feel I did too good a job with those on my try. I like the guitar synth stuff you put in, too. Very cool! OK, Uncle Tom, you're up next on "Dennis' Open Mike Night!" aka riffing Double Post music: Strip Down http://rimspeed.com http://loadedtheband.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Lander Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Hey Riffing, don't sell your self short. You did a very nice job too. I'm sure Dennis feels the same. It's interesting hearing the different guitar tones, regardless of the the melody worked into the bass run. I'll be looking for more.

pauldil Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Thanks for the compliment, Riffing. Dak is totally correct, you did a really good job on yours. In fact, I thought your guitar tone was way better than mine. I currently have no controls other than volume when I record. I can't add any reverb or EQ, so my guitar sound always winds up coming out totally flat. Yours had a really "live" feel to it. Dak, Uncle Tom, who's up next ??

Rim Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Thanks, again Dak and pauldil I was hoping more people would participate during the weekend. Oh well. Regardless, it's been fun! Thanks, Dennis, for this great idea. Who knows, I may lug my computer to my drummer's house and try it again with my regular rig.

dturner Posted May 7, 2002 Author Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hi Paul! Wow. Very cool! I dig your solo, and especially the synth stuff... nice bebopish lines. Thanks for posting this... hmmm what should we do next time? A James Brown funk maybe? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Dennis, for this great idea.Hi Dennis, Thanks. Glad you liked it. I'm still trying to get a handle on using the synth, but it didn't come out too bad. Like riffing said, it was a lot of fun to do and a great idea! We should do another one. James Brown funk sounds good to me!! Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Sure, I'm game with funk. Definitely not my bag but I'll go for it!

UncleTom Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Dak, Uncle Tom, who's up next ?? Paul[/QB] I got it on CD so I'm going to try recording soon on my CD Burner (Tascam 5000). I may not get it done for a while . At least this is making me learn a few good things as I go. Dinnis, I'm ready for the god father of soul anytime.

PaulHey guys, I'm an Americana/Folk/Shitkicker & don't play electric but I do have a resonator guitar. I'll work something up too. It may take a while, this new (temporary) job is a killer. I'm doing 65+ hours a week, six days & it's not leaving me much time, but I'll work on it. I was also a bit disappointed in not seeing some more posts. We'll just have to bump this up now & again.

dturner Posted May 7, 2002 Author Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hey Dak, I too am looking forward to hearing you play! And just FYI, I have already put together an outline for a funk tune, and I am going to download a buncha James Brown tunes and see if I can lay in a few of his vocal punctuations [God.. did that sound caucasian or what?] just to spice things up. I have a sense that it is not just what he says, but where he puts it in the tunes rhymically that makes it sound so cool. Hmmm... always something to learn.

Cadillac_Jack Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I'm looking forward to hearing more also, can't get enough of that blues thang. Maybe there are other folks that just weren't prepared to lay a track down at home like me. I just got my cords/effects/tuner cases from the old rehearsal room, so step one is out of the way finally. Now for the hard part, figuring out how to do this without bothering my wife, daughter, son, and grandson. Now you know why I couldn't bring the Marshalls home.

Rim Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Dak, Looking forward to your participation! Hey, I was wondering maybe many of the guitar players on this forum aren't into home recording and they have no way of doing one. Dennis, Maybe a quick post on the SSS forum linking to this thread may drum up more interest?

Faerin Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hey guys ... I happend to stumble across this post the other day, and thought I'd take a shot at this. You can download my version of True Blues here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/faerin/MattsTrueBlues128kb.mp3 I haven't been playing for nearly as long as some of you (about 7 years or so now) and it's my first shot at recording anything, so don't expect too much I'm 24, started teaching myself to play at 17 and have been at it ever since. I recorded this on a PRS custom 24 plugged straight into my sound blaster audigy with no effects (I usually play through a '78 Trainor mark III, but my Sister is borrowing it at the moment, so this will have to do). It recorded really quiet for some reason, so you'll have to turn it up a little to hear it I messed up in quite a few places, but I think it turned out alright. Let me know what you think.

Faerin Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Ok, I posted it onto my other web server and it seems to be working fine now. You can find it here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/faerin/MattsTrueBlues128kb.mp3 The file is 5.167 megs, and is saved as a 128 kBit mp3 file.

pauldil Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hey Matt, welcome & thanks for posting! I like it! Very cool !!! You've got some really great lines there. Sounds like you listen to a lot of blues. Your PRS sounds great. You plugged straight into your SB? What did you use to record this?

Took away some of the ideas I had, so, shit.... On a recap of an earlier post about the new job & time constraints. I got an offer from a company I've interviewed with a couple of time & I accepted the offer. The job I'm doing now, with so many hours will pass but I'm going to be away for a week or two for training. Once I get back I'll be able to work on the project again. Dennis, you will get something from me on your True Blues. It'll probably not be up to the quality of these others but I'll throw my stuff to the coyotes too. I'll be in transit after Saturday, so, see ya. I may be able to respond prior.... Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it." The Duke...

Faerin Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Thanks Paul. Yeah, I've got my PRS plugged directly into the input of my audigy. I'm surprised the tone came out as well as it did, considering it's not going through an amp. I'm recording with Creative WaveStudio (cheap software that came with the card). It doesn't have many options and only seems to do single track recording, but it'll work untill I can get a copy of cakewalk or something similar.

Rim Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Welcome Matt! Awesome job, Matt! Great tone! Does your PRS have active pickups? I like the way your lines use diads and triads a lot.

Faerin Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Thanks for the kind words guys. Riff, I'm pretty sure PRS pickups are passive (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I've got a bunch of pics of my PRS as well as some of my other gear up at http://www3.sympatico.ca/faerin/Guitars/ if anyone cares to look. You can't really tell by the pics (it looks green), but it's actually a deep teal colour, with a really nice blue tint. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac_Jack Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Shoot, I was hoping that was the real color. Teal is very cool, though. That's one of the prettiest non-sunburst PRS' I've seen. Nice fireplace, too. I could hear the usual breakup you get plugging straight in, but the SB Live's reverb made it all good. Great job, that guitar has great natural tone, too. I'm still having trouble; got my Rat, TS9, and CE2 running into the Mackie 1202 but there's no reverb at all in this C-Media chipset I'm using and it sounds like pure crap. I hate to break out the old Rockman, but it might work. Made a decent demo with it in '85... This might take a while, but thanks for the opportunity Dennis. You're a fun "band" to play with.
