Music Project: an executive decision!

Alright, so people like the idea of this music collaboration.

Firstly, here's a wav of Aeron's guitar riff and my drums:

That was an original song. But people have suggested making a cover, and juju has agreed that it would be a good way to get us all used to recording together.

Canadonian is pretty much the only one who can do vocals (Acid sort of offered to as well), so we're limited to a song he can sing. He sings Greenday best - yes, I know, greenday sucks fucking balls, and is only succeeded in shittyness by Slipknot, but greenday plays simple stuff, and Canadonian can sing it.

Soooo, I'm making an executive decision to just make a cover of Basketcase by Greenday.

If there's objections, post a comment, but I think we should just get over the hump of trying to come up with a song, and just do a cover of this song.

ANYONE can post their wav of their instrument. Just because one person already played the guitar part and posted it, record it yourself as well, it'll be fun. =D

Also, it doesn't have to be an exact cover. If you want to spice it up, do it.

Then, the different parts can be pieced together to make a few versions.

Edit: Okay, so maybe no Greenday. Suggest something that has easy vocals for Canadonian. =3

We'll see about future projects for your voice then, Acid. =D

Eva: Sorry, I gotta tell the truth. =)

If no one has gotten to that bass part by tomorrow night I will make a recording. Someone like Juju could probably do a better job, but we could at least use it for the time being.

I can also re-record the drum part with a bit better timing. I posted what I had, to see what you guys thought of it.

I'll check to see if my line-in is working now.

If Mush can play this kind of shizzle I'd be like yeeeessss

Oh and I have to wait til I get my DI box back before I can record anything. Need a DI box because the output is hotter than hell itself. Because they made it wrong. Stupid amp makers.

Hmm Greenday… too mainstream :P

Juju 13 years, 11 months ago

No luck with the line in, someone else will have to play bass. I respectfully bow out of this project.

I recorded Juju's bass part, but then realized it was for aeron's guitar riff.

So are we doing Green Day still? Because if everyone is so opposed, I think it would be much easier (and more fun) to pick a key and a tempo and have everyone record loops of whatever instrument they happen to have, whether it be live or a VST. When we have enough I (or anyone who wants) can try to mix and match the loops.

I honestly think this would be easier than organizing a cover. Especially since we can't even make it past the first step (choosing a song).
