any musicians on this site? - Page 3

sure. Or we find some tunes that eveyone likes, and each record our instrument, FTP the files to a central person who mixes, and then we sell it for literally billions of dollars cash money.

I play French horn (and flugel horn) and concertina. I like the idea of the album, but am not computer-technically proficient and am on dial-up ...

do we have the technology?

i'm sure you do, and prolly tony and maybe spode. i know i dont have any way of making my guitar digital. my dad threatened to give me his 4 track digital mixer that he doesn't use, but forgot to bring it up last time he came for a visit. i dont even know if that would work.

When did I get offended at that? I'm proud of that ability!

UT may be the 4-string bass god around here, but I'm the one-string god.

Uh,...well,...er,.....skin flutes don't have strings.......except for the waiter that uses the spoon to put it back so he doesn't have to wash his hands.

OK, this is outside my expertice. Wouldn't you layer the instruments? Otherwise, everyone's just playing to a metronome and it sounds canned.

Wouldn't it be more like this: UT lays down the bass track, passes the recording to ... do we have a drummer? .... then onto 50cent-shift for the keyboards... then to various leads guitars, french horn, whatever, then the vocals last. ???

If we do Cranberries, 10000 Maniacs or No Doubt, I can do the lead vocals in that range. Blondie is just too high for me.

I have an old version of Sonar on my computer and I can get my hands on Cubase. We could pretty much do it with anything if we do it in straight .wav files. Someone would have to be in charge of accumulating and mixing the tracks into a finished product.

Oh...and there couldn't be any music reading involved if I was going to have any part in it.

Flint--- Just a drummer. Ha. Above, I tried to briefly list a forum band, but didn't have a drummer. Glad to hear that you have a det gargage to work with.

Flint · 04-30-2006, 10:59 PM

do drummers count? usually, only to "8"

smoothmoniker · 05-01-2006, 01:29 AM

oh wait, are we listing gear?

Hang on, lemme get another pen, this one's out of ink.

Ibby · 05-01-2006, 01:50 AM

Guitar (Ibanez RG550, I think? ...It's the S/S/HB one.)

Bass (Shitty Silvertone started bass, Traben Array 4-string)

trying to learn keyboards too, got me one of those crappy ones with the light-up keys

Rock Steady · 05-01-2006, 01:54 AM

Gear????

Mrs RS has a 1910 Steinway C Grand Piano. In Classical, this is as good as it gets. Thank goodness she's not a string player.
