Reply With QuoteQuestion - Do we need to claim a song so someone else doesn't do the same song?
Fall Recordingfest - The 80's!!!
The loose theme is "1980's" although we've decided that can include any song recorded before Nirvanas Nevermind was released
Have the songs to me by September 22nd and the reveal is September 23rd!
Question - Do we need to claim a song so someone else doesn't do the same song?
You could always mention it if you think there's a chance it will happen....I don't see a problem with multiple versions of the same song if you don't anywayOriginally Posted by jasongins
Slow thread is slow
I'll be submitting at least 2 songs in addition to the big Whitesnake collab
Both being among my all time favourite songs
I have a leftover collab with Micwalt that I'll probably be finishing for this as well...its from 1970, though

Got the backing done for one of the songs - lead guitar and vocals, and it's done
You are on fire...I think this is going to be a pretty epic fest this time around....Got the backing done for one of the songs - lead guitar and vocals, and it's done
If I keep up this pace I could end up with a perverse number of entries

I should probably think about doing something for mine.
Hey Mark, I've got Dex's drums and Mike's bass part. Do you need me to mix those together so you can do the guitar tracks or are you going to be able to do that and then just send me the guitar tracks when they are done?
What I'm really asking is, are you waiting for me, or am I waiting for you?
oops....I didn't realize I was in the hotseat...I'm not sure I have all of the parts....I just cleaned my mailbox and I think I screwed up and erased them just nowI should probably think about doing something for mine.

I have an 80s tune that could uses some drums (before I program them) toss it out there for our drummers. PM me if interested.
I can't right now, but I'll try to get the drums and bass mixed in the next day or two and send that to you.oops....I didn't realize I was in the hotseat...I'm not sure I have all of the parts....I just cleaned my mailbox and I think I screwed up and erased them just now
cool...I appreciate it...I can't right now, but I'll try to get the drums and bass mixed in the next day or two and send that to you.
Depending on how difficult the drum part is, I'm game.
Progress report:
Well, we've got another really short and rather strange tune on the go..surprise, surprise...I've got most of the music sorted, but Lisa is still working on the tune/lyrics..I think we'll be ready, we've both got some time off coming up..so hopefully nail it all down then.

I scrapped the original one I was working on temporarily... the arrangement I was working on just wasn't happening, so I moved on to something I started working on for an HC 80's Coverfest ins '07, but never finished.
Bounced out all the files from Sonar and imported them into Logic. There are a couple of glitches and artifacts, but nothing too bad. I'll definitely need to re-record the bass line, I still need to do pre-chorus guitars, and cut vox.
Time permitting I'm going to finish ANOTHER cover I started in '07 and never finished... it came out in '88 but mine is more a cover of a cover with alt.country spin. If I don't get it done in time for the Coverfest I'll post it anyway, because I've forgotten how excited I was about that track.
Where are you guys all at?
I'm exactly where I was last time I checked in.
I did mix Dexter's drum track and Micwalt's bass track and sent them to Mark. That's as far as we've gotten so far.
I'm in the hot seat for RonK right now, and plan to get his drums recorded tomorrow evening, as I should have some free time.
Haven't even given thought to starting a solo entry yet.
I need to play guitar on one and mix another.
Got a lot done over the weekend

I started recording something today.
I hope to finish acoustic and vocal this week.
I havent even picked a song
Neither have I....I havent even picked a song
I'm torn between doing something more rock, or one of the older country tunes that we are learning. One of the country tunes has some killer harmonies and is pretty easy to play - except for the keyboard part. I can do all the guitars, bass, and vocals though (I think I can do all the BG vocals....).
But since country is about as popular here as the H1N1....I may opt for something else. I just don't know what yet...
Record what you want to...
The more country the better!!!
I finished by acoustic track yesterday. Wohooo!! I am hoping to get some singing done by the end of the weekend.
Last night I did the drums for a song RonK is working on.
I also have a quirky idea for another 80s cover to do, but I need to get my hands on a copy of it so I can learn it, then I have to learn it, and change everything about it.

Heh...
One of the drummers at Pragestock left his double bass pedal.
I've recorded a drum track now...with lots of kick drum tripplets.
The original song had none.
Of course, I don't think it had any guitar either.
It's going to be a little different from the original.

Crap, this song is way harder to sing than I thought it would be. I apparently have no upper register.
I wonder if I can try it an octave lower?
Just got done with the music for the second one I'm working on.
If I don't fuck up the vocals (which are...quite hard to sing - it's a Queen song
Just vocal tracking and mixing left on both songs
Done!..might start on a second one

Count me in!
Heh, I'll be lucky to get one done.
I got a good bit done yesterday. Actually, other than a few small embellishments, I got all the tracking done.
Depending on how well I can get it mixed, though, I may redo all the guitar and vocal tracks before I call it done. I'll have to listen to it with fresh ears and see.
Gaaahhh!
I may never get this done. This weekend we are moving the two kids OUT of the basement and into the two other bedrooms upstairs, and my music room is moving down to the basement. On the plus side - I will probably end up with twice as much space in the long run, which is good since I want to buy drums. On the negative side, we have exactly two outlets in the entire full (unfinished) basement. And I could not wire one in to save my own life....
So if this all gets done this weekend I might (might...) have time to record something before the deadline.
Maybe....
I'm still hoping to try for this one, but haven't got anything even started yet. Been working pretty much 7 days a week, 10 and 12 hour days. I'm going to try to do something, though even if it's just a short solo piece or something.
I've been struggling to just get any practice time in, and haven't had any time to even think about recording. Keep saying I"m going to, and either haven't been able to find the time, or can't seem to play anything worth recording. Not planning on giving up, though.
I spent some time learning the parts to the song I'm doing with the guys but haven't had the time to record any of it...I'm hoping to take care of that problem this week
Mind if I play too?
I'm gonna post one I did a few months ago with Micwalt that I haven't gotten to post yet.
And I hada hanking to cover "Modern Day Cowboy" lately. But I could never sing it.
Ok, so Coverfest Idea #4 is almost full realized! All I have to do now is record vocals... everything else I finished up about three minutes ago. I even did a really rough instrumental mix so I can listen to it some tomorrow and see how I feel about it with fresh ears. I know I'll have to do a final mix, but it's always good to gain some advance perspective.
Oh, I'd also like to say that this is the first thing I've ever done completely in Logic, from recording to mixdown. The whole way of working has been different from how I'm normally work, so I'm excited/nervous to hear what you guys think.

Absolutely! And the Tesla Song "Modern Day Cowboy"?

I've got an idea for another 80s song, but I don't know if I'll actually get around to recording it.
Speaking of...Mark, don't forget that the ball's in your court for our collaboration.

Almost done with my 2 entries. Just some mixing left.
Maybe I'll do another one if I can find some spare time
Yeah, Tesla. I won't have the time for that before your reveal. I started another for HC. But may post it here first if I'm finished.Absolutely! And the Tesla Song "Modern Day Cowboy"?
