The Official Recordingfest thread/Schedule for 2012.

[Kerouac]

I'm having a hard time picking a key for my one song. I'm also trying to do more guitar for this as my last couple of entries have been very keyboard heavy.

[T-BoneBarnet]

Submitted my tune today. I may have beat even Peeker to the punch.

[paulskirocks]

Oh yea, I need to figure out what to do... Basically, I'm lazy...

[Prages]

I have one of mine done except mixing. Can't get the fucking mix right to save my life.

[Jeremy]

I had an awesome idea, but have lacked the time.

[reverend1]

I'm furiously working on mine. Prages sent me the bass and drum track so I need to get my ass in gear.

[Peeker]

Submitted my tune today. I may have beat even Peeker to the punch.

I posted mine a couple weeks ago

guess I could do a new one though.

[Peeker]

I had an awesome idea...

yes, yes you did

[T-BoneBarnet]

BASTARD!!

[Knox in Box]

I have 2 pretty much done. I need to work on the solo for one and do final mixing and test them on other sources. Otherwise, I'm finished.

[Peeker]

BASTARD!!

I'm gonna knock another out tonight, I think.

[paulskirocks]

I'm just too fucking lazy, and would rather play Mickey Baker jazz chords...

[Peeker]

I think I'll just do the next with vocals & the acoustic
keep it simple
I've been trying to make it too busy, I think.

[Phil513]

I really want to record more, but all my stuff is split between two states.

Give me time.

[T-BoneBarnet]

Just do half the song now, and the other half for the next Recordfest

[Phil513]

HAHAHAHA

if only i could.

Thats what i love most about this place, it got me into recording. Well that, and the folks here.

[Kerouac]

I still can't decide what to do and I'm running out of time.

[Peeker]

*whew*
okay, got that one more tune done
it ain't perfect (beer), and there seems to have been a tiny latecny issue (which I have never experienced before, might be the pc is dyin')
it ain't too bad, though, and I've posted far worse crap.
but this is such a powerful tune, I just HAD to get it out there.
though my cover don't do it no just this.

[Dexter Inferno]

I still can't decide what to do and I'm running out of time.

You're not alone. I still have no fucking clue what to do for this one.

[Peeker]

hey Dex, since I bailed on you and Micwalt on that Iron Maiden thing (couldn't cut it, sorry), I got anothter idea, if yer willin' to risk working with me again.
wont say what here, but it is certainly somthing I cna handle
MIke & I could split the vox, and we could 3-way the lead guitar.
well, the solo at least.
you two can fight over the rythym (I pell that wrong every fuckin' time)
I"d do the bass, as well.
all 3 notes.



okay, maybe 5

[paulskirocks]

I know what I want to do, but don't seem to be doing it... Peeker probably stole my idea, anyways...

[Knox in Box]

One sent.

Mark, can you let me know. I might have screwed up the send.

(John Watt content)

Doubt I'll have time for a collab ahead of this one, as those are a bit more involved/time consuming...

If anything, I'll just have to find a song and do it one or two days.

[Denverdave]

I need to work on the acoustic guitar part for mine. Kind of a challenging part at the beginning of the song....

didn't mean for this coverfest, just for shitsngiggles

[Peeker]

wait...our reveal sin't till the 15th?
shit, I could do another tune!

[Dexter Inferno]

didn't mean for this coverfest, just for shitsngiggles

Yeah, that could work.

[Prages]

I'm on mix #10 of my song.

It's getting close. Just need to dial out some muddiness in the 12 string and bass tracks. #10 is a little better than #9, and #9 was worlds better than #8. #1-7 were pretty bad.

[Peeker]

I think I'm gonna do one more, just not sure what yet.
I have an idea that culd be pretty cool, if I can make it work.
might be beyond me though....

[T-BoneBarnet]

I just completed another one, this time a cover (which is pretty rare for me). I'm still deciding whether to submit it or not. Some people probably think one tune from me is too much

Looking forward to hearing it. I really like the way you mix. Man, I wish I had your ears instead of these two potatoes I got.

[Kerouac]

I'll just half-ass something last minute.

[Peeker]

I half-assed my early entries

maybe I should do one where I'm actually sober.

[Prages]

Mrs. P did some vocal tracks yesterday.

And I completely started over on my mixing.

[Knox in Box]

I have both in.

#2's singing isn't the best. But I'll be damned if I worked that long to get the guitar right and not turn it in.

[Prages]

Sent mix #11 in to Mark just now. We'll see if he has time to listen and critique before the reveal. I may end up with mix 12 or 13, but for now, I think I'm done.

[reverend1]

Nine days left. Shit, I have a lot more to do.

[Prages]

I have a lot more to do with the entry Mrs. P is singing on...including recording at least one, probably two more guitar tracks, editing the three vocal takes she did into one cohesive sounding track, and recording a few backing vocal tracks of my own. Then it's on to mixing and mastering, which has proven a bear for me lately.

And don't forget, rev, you've got a race on Saturday, so you won't get much recording done then either.

I know, and every time Erin is home, she wants me to spend time with her. As you know "all I ever do is play guitar."

I actually don't get that too often, unless I completely abuse my priviledges.

[Kerouac]

I sat down at the computer to record last night, two hours before I went to the Mass Effect 3 release. I didn't record a single thing, but had a lot of fun playing.

Yeah, but hopefully now you've got a few ideas percolating inside your brain. I usually just put my unfinished tunes on repeat and let them run while I get ready for work etc. then try get some ideas to add. Probably drives the missus up the wall.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Then I sat down and did it the wrong way.

I'll admit it. I was just too fucking lazy to setup the mics and iso stuff to record acoustic, especially since that meant keeping the dog crated and making sure to leave in time to hit GameStop. I really need to come up with a better system for quick setup.

This is what I've been doing the past few days. (not ME3) Just unleashing my inner Trent Reznor since I found samplitude's Bit Crusher. This and a Leslie VST is giving me an absolute sick Bass sound. :-)

Opening new doors.

I think I'll hold on to it for the next RecordFest. Just in case I can't get it up next time, if you know what I mean.

No, I don't know what you mean about not getting it up.

[T-BoneBarnet]

^^Well, you are surrounded by German women. I've seen "videos" about them.
