Anybody up for a forum collaboration?

[Yax]

I will handle production duties and could throw in some guitar and bass in lack other options.

 

[Mosh]

Sure I'd be interested in that.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Yes, but my recording capabilities are limited at best. :/

 

[Yax]

If you guys can muster a clean line signal my Kemper can reamp it.

 

[Mosh]

I have access to a recording studio so I'll just record there. Won't be able to for a couple weeks though.

And speaking of, what will we be recording?

 

[Black Wizard]

Stardust can write the lyrics.

I would still prefer an additional line signal, to be honest. Record one amped and one lined signal (line box then link to amp and line box output to recording device). Maiden cover? Maybe a song where bruces vocal track is available.

What you should do is get enough people together to cover Alexander the Great.

 

[Mosh]

Alexander would be fun. I call His Holiness' part!

 

[The Flash]

I'd love to play bass in a collaboration but I have nothing to record my stuff with ATM.

@Forostar - drummer needed here. You or me?

 

[Forostar]

SMX: if you would like to do this, feel free to do so.

I am afraid I need a lot of stuff to sort out before I could remotely start recording (the room in which the electronic kit is, is a mess).
Besides, to be honest, Alexander would be a difficult thing to do.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Alexander would be a difficult thing to do.

Drums are not my primary instrument, so Alexander is too complex for me. But I can play The Fugitive.

 

[Forostar]

The other bassist and the guitarists can't.

 

[Yax]

So, Who on bass? I would rather not, I am happy with the production. SMX, whats your recording setup, drum wise
?

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

SMX, whats your recording setup, drum wise

If it's not clear, I have mics on kick, snare, 2 on the three mounted toms, one on the 2 floor toms, and hihat. The mics on toms are pointed up to catch cymbals, thus no overheads.

 

[Yax]

Do you have a pair of condensers laying around, or one other to go with the one you put on the hi-hat? If that's the case, then one could go with the more usual setup, with OH and close mikes on the drums (and scratch the hihat mic, if one had to).

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

My other condenser broke, which is when I adopted the above. I was doing it normally until then.

Explains it, as this is rather, unconventional.

One other option, in order to do Alexander, is to program the drums, preferably very carefully (I can do it decently, and improving existing programmed midi is very, very doable). More control over the sound and bass is your first instrument!

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Or, a different song? Why Alexander?
