Basically I finished recording my parts but cause of some technical Cubase problems (I have no VSTS!!) I'm quite sure I'm not in sync with the rhythm of the song. can any of you check that?  maybe I'll have time tomorrow to record it again.
The low voice is horrible but I think it sounds kinda ok with the high voice in the verse. anyway I'm uploading the tracks now . hopefully it'll finish by the morning.

I tried adding Dual's and Dan's waves to my project and it sounds kinda cool most of the time :)
Dan , I think you should have your different guitar effects on seperate channels so it'll be easier to handle them in the mixing process.
Dual , maybe you should cut some of the begining of your wave (the bit just before you start playing) to fit with the playback.
unfortunately I can't hear wyz's cos I have no VSTS at the moment  :'( but the midi looks quite impressive 8)

Later

Lol well it's ok, there will be a real audio track soon enough. I've got everything recorded on my electric piano; I only need to tape it. I'm particularly happy with the organ track, the strings are a bit off. I'm going to clean the piano track (it's not in the backing) a bit before I'll tape it. It will be the most important part, the strings and organ tracks will only be needed partly or put into the background.

Well speak you all tomorrow I guess  :)

Hey, Noa.

Yeah, I haven't fixed that, but I will, I just let it for the man that will blend this all together I guess? I can honestly say, that I made two awesome recordings, one take on the song, and then when the outro comes, my mom just came into the room and yelled. Not at me, but I just told her that she can come when I'm playing. :/

That explains the 3 attempts. I'm not overly happy with my sound.

Dan - First, we're on the same timing. So that's something. Also, I know it's first attempt and stuff. But your sound volume hits quite high levels. Also I can't say I'm a fun of the non-distorted main chords. The main problem is the high levels. When you reach quite a level of volume, you lose quality,so instead of distortion, I get noise. It'd be quite easier to explain if I knew the words in English. You know how much I respect you. I know you can get a better sound than this. That's all.

Noa, if we're talking sync, I'm checking that, you seem to be okay. At least the three of us (Dan, Me, Noa) seem to be in sync. I'm doing some conversions, cause audacity sucks, so I don't know if Wyz's in sync or not. I'm also on the process of downloading your backup vocals.

EDIT: Actually we are in sync :P

Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Ok I 've had it with the sheer frustration that is voice chat software. We might as well type. :P

I'll get my hands dirty with the recordings soon! For those waiting for an inside scoop; I can already tell it will be awesome on all grounds! ;D

If it's awesome, then that means you've muted my recording. Gj, Wyz  ;)

Soon enough, Wonkyth, we'll probably be finished with a final mix on Comfortably Numb next Wednesday! :)

I know what you mean, but I have no more ideas as to what to do, really...

Good luck, man! I'll be getting on the solo soon enough (I think I'm getting my first amp tomorrow, so maybe then!!!)

Done! :D

I'll repost it here as well, so maybe everyone can see:

* Everybody needs to think of THE SECOND song... I've been lucky enough and my bandmates have been so cool as to select my proposition as the first song, so everyone else needs to propose ONE song per person. We'll then vote on the one we like the best, and that'll be our second cover. Everyone should send me their propositions (either posting here or PM or IRC or whatever) along with a Youtube link and I'll post them here so that everyone else can have a listen until the meet.

I stand by my suggestion from our first meeting : Space oddity by David bowie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssnxo4lNp8w&feature=rec-LGOUT-real_rn-1r-7-HM

I think it has parts for everyone (correct me if I'm wrong) and I think it's something everyone should put into consideration when choosing a song.

there are 2 guitar solos, strings(ish) , acoustic guitar , bass , drums , clapping and weird background noises - there's something for everyone  :P  I can fake a british accent  ;)
I really like the backing voices on 'For here Am I sitting in a tin can...'

ok I'll shut up now

Added to the list on the first post, Noa. :)

Also, the Helloween cover is very nice as well. It's really surprising how well they stuck to the original seeing as how they're a power/heavy metal band.

Space Oddity would be pretty cool. If I may make a suggestion, though, why not try recording Get Back by The Beatles?

If we're going for Beatles songs, I'd love Hey Jude. Now, I'm also in favor of Space Oddity.  :D

wow , that Helloween cover is pretty accurate! I've never heard of them but it does sound confusing if you say they are actually a metal band , Dan :) great job they did there!

I'd love to do a beatles cover. well , all in good time ..

I would never guess you're a beatles fan , Grim :)

No sorry, no Beatles for me. That's totally not my cup of tea. :P

Well since we all will probably vote for the songs we already suggested at first meeting, why not do all of them? Well or like we did last time, all of them if all of us can play it?

I think I can play Space oddity. Btw if we are going to do it next, let's experiment, this song has great potential for weird stuff :D.

Btw, I know Helloween, they make this really narrative, epic music. Never heard this cover actually but damn it's good. :D
I also like the synths in it.

I'm super amped to hear your guy's version of Comfortably Numb. Floyd is one of my favourite bands ever... EVER.

Hurry up and finish it :D

If you can't wait, I've uploaded a rough mix here. Noa's vocals are particularly good.

I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

I'm tired of pretending I'm not bitchin', a total frickin' rock star from Mars.
