Dec 12, 2012 09:15 pm As for that ending, just go crazy for a couple second and I'll edit it in a way that sounds good and not all jumbled.

I need someone to record their own drum part to this song. I just have a basic repeating programmed beat that my friend recorded to and the track needs some flavor in the drum department.
I am a drummer but I don't have the time to go record my kit. Also I don't have a good drum mic setup. Who wants to help me out?!!
I'll make it downloadable from soundcloud. Just throw it in your daw and lay down a tasty jam, export just the drums (preferrably multitrack) and send them my way. I'll mix it into the session.
If anyone also wants to add some keys to the mix, be my guest.
Thanks gentlemen!!

Dec 12, 2012 11:01 pm Well, I'm no drummer, as we all know, but I can try constructing something in Jamstix as a kind of mock-up, or temporary kinda thing. It is capable of multiple outputs, so I THINK I can get it recorded onto separate tracks. I may need to figure it out though.
If I get some time anyway. We're going to be down in NC for xmas and leaving next weekend to head there. So, I may not be able to get around to it until January. :P Also, a key on my beloved Xboard stopped transmitting midi data, so I ordered a new controller. But it's on backorder, and I don't know when it will ship. So yeah...January. :P (of course I'm praying it will ship sometime this week and get here before we head down to NC for the holidays)
As for keys, um, we'll see. xD I'd like to record my Nord Lead 2X, but that pretty much means electric keys sounds (think Rhodes, Wurli, etc.) of course, I can apply distortion and whatall to dirty up the sound if need be. It just won't be an acoustic piano sound.
Of course, the Nord is also capable of some decent organ sounds using the multi-part patches.
Either way, I think it will fit the track pretty well. Just gotta find the time to do it!
And, as a bonus, should be easy to mix in. Nords have been pretty well known to be able to cut through the mix well, and are generally easy to get to sit pretty with minimal work.
But yeah, I can take a shot at least.
Jan 27, 2013 03:21 am Been awhile, but wanted to mention I've not forgotten about this. I've just been busy with the locals. I will get around to this at some point assuming it doesn't get to be too late....I can at least try adding keys at some point anyway if the drums have already been handled.
I'll get to it when I get to it. If you can use it, great! And if not, well, I'll have at least tried anyway, hah!
Jan 27, 2013 11:31 am Right on man. Looking forward to hearing it.
Jan 27, 2013 07:41 pm i could hit my drummer up if needed, will have to listen to it first, will do it now.
Jan 28, 2013 10:31 am You know I'm game! Drums are already mic'd up and ready to go (since my band is recording). I'll put my flare on it... keep if you like; trash if you don't. May need a new link though, the current soundcloud tag is dead (at least from what I can see right now).
Jan 28, 2013 07:43 pm I'll put a drumless version in the dropbox.
Jan 28, 2013 07:53 pm K I also put another track in there. As long as you're recording drums, that one's next on my to-do list :) If ya want, that is.
Jan 28, 2013 07:57 pm I think I missed the convo regarding the Dropbox 'shared folder.' What's the addy and how do I sign up so I can share as well?
Jan 29, 2013 12:44 am Here:
www.dropbox.com/s/9khzwlv...drumless%29.wav
www.dropbox.com/s/yopaj0f...0no%20drums.mp3
Lemme know if that doesn't work.
Jan 31, 2013 02:24 pm Downloaded... can probably work with it this weekend.
What kind of beat are you looking for anyway? Up-beat or more slow blues oriented? I can put death metal drums to it too... but that may be excessive! LOL!!
Feb 01, 2013 12:00 am haha it's not a paid gig, I'm not releasing it as a radio single or anything. It's just having fun laying down some sweet tracks. Go to town.
(That being said, I personally would do upbeat for both, that's kinda the feel that I....feel...when I listen to them)
Feb 10, 2013 11:00 am Hey quickkid.....
Sorry for the delay. I think I'm going to be tracking for my band this week, which means I'll have everything setup to record. I'll try to squeeze this in while it's all in motion. Should have something by end of week. Let me know if its not too late and you still need this done.
Feb 10, 2013 07:52 pm I'm also done with my current project (done as it's gonna get anyway, I think) So I'll start working on the keys very soon. Mebbe this week. I've already worked out ideas for the basic comping. Just gotta work on the riffs and some of the switchups.
I'm trying to avoid comping too hard since there is already a lot going on with the track, and I kinda want there to be some breathing space. So yeah, no flying keyboard solos or anything from me this round, haha!
Feb 18, 2013 06:21 pm I got one of 'em done.... I can send you the individual tracks to an email or something (dropbox?). But check it out... see if you even like what I did with it.
I uploaded it to soundcloud cause that's all I have for now. If you need me to take it down for whatever reason, do let me know ASAP.
Feb 18, 2013 11:32 pm Sounds rad! Nice production. I think I like the half-time sections better for the beginning. The faster (opposite of half-time?) beat sounds awesome for the ending section, from 3:24 on. And maybe play something for those guitar-only sections, something on the toms or on the rims or something. It sounds a little bare without any drums. Good job man, I really appreciate you helping me out with this. And so will Richie (the guy who wrote it.)
Feb 19, 2013 10:09 am So... are you saying you want it at half-time throughout the song up until 3:24, or flip the timing (half first, then the up-beat)? I'll try to think of something for the 'bare' parts.
This probably took me 2 hrs; not bad for punching in as I go and not listening to it at all before recording! Any mods from here on out should be pretty quick. It's a catchy little tune once you've listened to it 12x -13x times!
Feb 19, 2013 10:11 pm Lol. Yeah, I was thinking of it being half time up until the end.
Feb 20, 2013 09:44 am Alright... I'll meet you half way (in the literal sense too). I'll do the half-time up through 2:10 and just keep what's there for the last half. I think that will give it some diversity for the verses between solos.
I'll have it posted later tonight. Stay tuned!
Feb 20, 2013 07:16 pm Here ya go, man. Hope you like the ending to the second one!! LOL!!!

Feb 20, 2013 09:05 pm Nice dude! Thanks for the help. It's hard to get drums going these days, and I have a pretty crappy setup anyways. That ending was pretty metal lol. Could you upload the drum tracks to dropbox so I can mix them in?
Feb 20, 2013 09:13 pm Sure.... mine or yours? I don't have the acct info for that shared dropbox. If you have that info: Rott3nHippi3 at GEEEEE MAIL dot COM.
