Remote Recording Projects...

Hello musical comrades, I am wondrring if anyone here might be interested in a remote recording project or two.?

 

I would love too,but Iack the technology at home.Had to sell all my gear because of a paranoid episode.

How would one go about this anyway,if I could get hold of the right gear?

 

All you need is a way to retrieve files .normally from dropbox or email, a way to listen to those files and a way to record yourself, either direct or otherwise. Youre on a computer? Do you have a way to record yourself at all? And of course, you need your instrument.

 

I may be able to sort something out at my Mac Logic class,but this could take a couple of weeks to explain to my tutors and get across what I want to do.I'm no genius guitar player though,but can come up with riffs and hooks.Also what styles of music do you play?

 

That would be great. It wont take much.just tell them you need to record yourself and your guitar.
Ive been playing a long time, I enjoy playing all styles. Are you writing your own stuff?

 

Here is the current project. One of three songs. Ill post links to the raw track , then the next step with click track added, for the drummer. What you will hear at the end of this link is the final product. Its an original written by a friend , and in a style I love playing.

There was a group that wanted me to do a guitar track... Until the lead guy found out I record with effects. Never heard back.

 

Ah, yes, that happens. A lot of times they want raw tracks. It makes mixing easier. Plus, when a composer has an idea in their head about a song, they know how they want it to sound. If you send them a track thats already processed with your sound, they cant manipulate the track. Its always best to record unprocessed tracks.

 

You don't want to hear my raw unprocessed sound... You really don't.

 

But Dude, thats what they gotta have. Lol noooo hiding behind processing. Just remember, when recording, you play with a different technique than you do live. It must be cleaner, precise and much simpler. This is why studios use session musicians.

 

But mistakes and lack of good tone, compression and all that can be processed..you would be surprised at how the masters turn out.

 

and why I record at home...

 

Its the same concept.

 

Anyways... The track he heard that made him want more "just like that" for his own project, I was playing off the echo on an old Roland Space Chorus through 2 mic'ed amps... At full volume. The dry track, if it existed, wouldn't have sounded like anything because half of the notes were echos and 3/4 of the tone was feedback just waiting to happen. There was an interaction there between myself and my sound/equipment that was the art more than the actual notes played.



Some things just can't be processed after the fact...



I do a lot of weird stuff with gear... and processing after "recording with effects" too. Nothing is safe.

 

I understand how you feel when it comes to the art of it. Im sure they truely did love it, but alas, they never got back to you...
However, send me a link to something..processed or not, and I'll lay a bass track..see what happens.

 

All I have are my two MySpace sites... I haven't setup anything new, like ReverbNation or Soundcloud. I need to but haven't worked on anything since the fire. I still have my files though... Saved the hard drives and made backups.


Anyways, MySpace for either Chrome Crow and/or Mystical Blue... The latter would be something more "almost mainstream" I guess one could say.

 

Try dropbox..its very easy to use and move files

 

Im over there trying to get wah ya got to play...not working

 

Right now this house is all consuming...

 

I want to record multi-trac on a cheap old cassette recorder by snipping the erase head wire . May I be
the ocean ?
