Facepunch Collaborative VII: One More Till An Octave - General

Sounds like you're going to do a cover. I suggest reading the OP.

I did read the OP. And I'm not gonna submit it. Gonna stick with the drum thing.

Alright I have your drum track Dick, I'll try a few things in the morning.

Awesome! I look forward to hear what you can do. =)

Well, I'm afraid pounding bass and/or noisy guitar are beyond me since I'm without an amp, but here's the bit I did anyway - Verse? altered [media]http://soundcloud.com/user3829987/untitled-253[/media] Chorus? altered [media]http://soundcloud.com/user3829987/untitled-255[/media] And a very crappy playthrough of the first part w/ the drums in the background to give a vague idea of it put into practice [media]http://soundcloud.com/user3829987/untitled-256[/media]

That is some damn sexy alterations, great job! I can definietly imaginet his piece with an acoustic guitar like that on top of it all, with a groovy bass and an electric guitar breaking through the sonic wall. =)

Hah, I wouldn't have an acoustic part in it personally, I'd probably try to get someone with an amp to play it instead. To that end I can tab it out if you want, just let me know.

I'd love to have your acoustic guitar in the song though now that I've heard it, sound quality is pretty decent ; I think I could make it shine with some minor EQing and that. =) If you got the time, I'd really love if you could record the whole song with your masterful guitar-playing.

Awesome, I'm still in even though I've been gone for awhile.

I only play now and again, and don't have anyone to jam with unfortunately so I'm pretty inconsistent. If I altered the other riffs and posted each part of the song changed, could you just stick 'em together? I'm also very lazy, you may be able to tell :v:

Yeah I could do that, thanks for doing this MakoSkyDub =)

If you send me the drum track I could try doing some bass if you want. Caught the flu, so I won't be busy with anything else.

At the moment there is a $20 steam gift prize for the most referrals and $10 for the second. I'll spell out the conditions later what for counts as a referral. If you want to donate to the prize pot, feel free to. A third place prize will come into being is there is enough money to divide. This will work out quite well because even if you don't win a prize, you still helped contribute money to Africa via Dick Tracy. [editline]2nd December 2011[/editline] Also, can we get some more album art designs?

I am working on a new song, I am allowed to resubmit right?

Right, as long as you aren't annoying and resubmit a million.

Ok, I'm going to change the gift for doing bass/guitar on that track of mine and instead, I'm offering the two humble bundle packs as an incentive to [b]Promote this album![/b] The top two promoters (Those who gets us the most listens from a source (or sources), such as a website or link in a blog) will get [b]One Humble Bundle [url=http://www.humblebundle.com/]Introversion Bundle Pack[/url][/b], and you will recieve the whole package since I paid $15 each. After a week we'll see how many listens we have, we'll check where most of the listens come from and all you have to do is to prove that you linked it in X or at Y and if you've managed to score us a lot of listens, you'll get the pack!

Do you have any takers, or can I give it a shot? Just PM me tabs and stuff and I'll see what I can make of it.

[QUOTE=Croix;33567540]Do you have a money tree?[/QUOTE] No, I just got a pretty good job, and I get a lot of free stuff from friends and relatives (mostly because I always help other people out). I also do a lot of my own food so I save shitloads of money that way :v:

Also he originally posted the track along with all the parts tabbed, a few pages back.

Now I feel guilty. I'd better get my guitar and do the next bit :v: [editline]5th December 2011[/editline] ...And suddenly I have to go out I will remember to look at it when I get back though!

Have you decided on a release date yet?

The submission deadline is December 20th. The release is going to be the 23rd.

shit I just realized how my idea could be exploited. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh damn

Did some more Dick, though you may want to change the drums a bit as well, they're less alterations are more departures from what you had. I'll try to record at 105BMP in the morning, but I can't promise they won't be annoying to use :v:

The notes are on page 6 afaik [editline]7th December 2011[/editline] Ok, uh This is the breakdown I guess (I played the transitions from the previous parts on these, thought it might help) [media]http://soundcloud.com/user3829987/untitled-262[/media] This would be the jam riff, whatever that means [media]http://soundcloud.com/user3829987/untitled-264[/media] And this was just kind of improv (hence shitty playing), starting with the "stick" part, going into a solo/outro I suppose, at the wrong time, so probably unusable but I'm posting it anyway :v: [media]http://soundcloud.com/user3829987/untitled-269[/media]

I'll check back in three days, I have to go to the hospital now for surgery ; my chemo treatment hasn't worked as it was intended to do, and well hopefully I'll see you guys in three days ; If not, well it has been an honour knowing everyone of you guys in musicians gig room. =) Thank you all for being who you are, and never let anyone put down your work, because each and everyone of you are beatiful, talented musicians who deserve the best.
