GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 3:38 PM I thought we could do a jam together. I'll get the backing track and then we need just enough guitarists. So, anyone up for a jam?
NurseGladys	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 3:54 PM i might be.... got the backing track up somewhere ? peace, Reid Moore !
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 3:59 PM Okay, I can upload it to my site.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 4:06 PM It's there now.
EvilPicnic	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 4:30 PM I'm willing to particpate...
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 4:32 PM Great! I was wondering how long each guitarist's solo should be... I mean the track is something like 5 minutes...
NurseGladys	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 5:12 PM holy... 'Lust and Anger' is way better (for me?) to jam with... is that you playing.. holy.. i can't shred like that, but i can come up with whacked out shitte.... i'll see what i can come up with 'A backing track for possible jam' and repost...
NurseGladys	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 5:25 PM holy... 'Lust and Anger' is way better (for me?) to jam with... is that you playing.. holy.. i can't shred like that, but i can come up with whacked out shitte.... i'll see what i can come up with 'A backing track for possible jam' and repost...
EtherEclectic	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 10:03 PM i'll play on it if you want, just let me know when.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 20, 2005 @ 10:04 PM about the solo length? just a typical 12 bar thing? i didnt listen to it enought to pick out each key change. do you have that on hand aswell? key changes etc.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 2:53 AM The key doesn't change there. If I remember correctly it's D or A minor. Anyway NurseGladys do you want to start? If so, download the backing track and then play the solo over it. After that upload the backing with your solo. Then next person just continues after that. We got now 4 guitarists. I think we need still one, so it would one minute of soloing for each guitarist.
hueseph	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:01 AM I'll Join in if that's ok. I've done a few jams. Usually it's best to mark spots so that everyone can work on their part independantly. Sio if you can divy it up like 0:00 to 1:00. 1:01 to 2:00. and so on. Let me know.
hueseph	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:04 AM Also, allowing everyone to work on their part independantly allows for the most variance. You can't play on what someone else has already done so you have to make it work in your own way. Just a thought. If this works for you I'll take 4:01 to 5:00
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:33 AM Yeah, of course we need to mark the spots. You can take the final part. I'm not so sure about working independantly though. How do we get this final track with everybody's solos on it, if everybody has the backing with only their solos on it? Secondly, I think you need to hear what the person before you has played. The solo might go a bit over his time and obviously you can't start exactly on your mark. We're musicians not machines! This is my idea: download the backing track and then play the solo over it. After that upload the backing with your solo. Then next person just continues after that. I've seen that working quite a few times.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:35 AM Okay, so we have the guitarists. Now we just need to decide who plays which spot. At the moment hueseph has the last spot. 4:01 to 5:00 So post here which part you want.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:49 AM i'll take the one before his, who ever goes before me, send me a shout when you have it uploaded. so i dont keep Hueseph waiting
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:58 AM Okay, I can take the part before you. So, it looks like this: 0:00-1:00 NurseGladys 1:01-2:00 EvilPicnic 2:01-3:00 Stratwizard 3:01-4:00 EtherEclectic 4:01-5:00 hueseph Is this okay with you guys?
EtherEclectic	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 4:03 AM yep yep
hueseph	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 5:00 AM I'm not so sure about working independantly though. How do we get this final track with everybody's solos on it, if everybody has the backing with only their solos on it? Assuming everyone is working with some sort of multitracking software(if not there is always audacity for free), you record your part and export 1 version with your part ant the backing track just for reference and then a second version that includes any space before your part and including your part only. No backing track. This way you ensure that the part line up and if it needs some tweaking you can adjust it according to the reference. Otherwise we end up with a track that gets progressively noisier and poorer in quality as it gets passed along.
hueseph	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 5:02 AM At any rate I will work however you see fit. I just wanted to express how I have done it in the past.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 5:52 AM Yeah, I know the track gets noisier, but that seemed easiest way to do it. I'm open for suggestions anyway.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 8:51 AM well i run cubase for my recordings, so if anyone thinks my side ends up being too noisy i can send ya the cubase file and the wav etc through yousendit? something like that. otherwise i'll try to keep the levels at the same as strat
victorsskull	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 11:05 AM Im in so note me
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 12:27 PM ok, if vic's in, then we have to reduce each one's part by 10 seconds. so, it's 50 seconds for each of us. 0:00-0:50 NurseGladys 0:51-1:00 EvilPicnic 1:51-2:00 victorsskull 2:51-3:00 Stratwizard 3:51-4:00 EtherEclectic 4:51-5:00 hueseph Okay, not anymore jammers to this jam!
victorsskull	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 1:58 PM wow I will have to play fast
hueseph	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:35 PM "Assuming everyone is working with some sort of multitracking software(if not there is always audacity for free), you record your part and export 1 version with your part ant the backing track just for reference and then a second version that includes any space before your part and including your part only. No backing track. This way you ensure that the part line up and if it needs some tweaking you can adjust it according to the reference. Otherwise we end up with a track that gets progressively noisier and poorer in quality as it gets passed along." I run cubase as well but this workflow should work for any other software. It's just a matter of marking your solo spot or taking mental note of where you need to start and stop. Just cue up a few seconds early and watch the time code. Once all the tracks are in you can fade tracks in and out if it sounds more appealing or just necessary. This is the way I plan to work for now but I can always just drop my bit over top of whatever you give me.
hueseph	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 3:36 PM Oh yeah. yousendit works well.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 21, 2005 @ 5:32 PM well i can mark 50secs in cubase, even if i get carried away i know it will stop recording at 50secs, and i can just edited it to sound more like an ending of a small solo besides stratwizard summed it up easy..time slots 3:51-4:00 for me... now to decide..do i want pink floyd bluesy tone or metal lead... i can feel david gilmore telephatically telling me to use the blues driver on this!
hueseph	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 2:54 AM Ok so those times were: 0:00-0:50 NurseGladys 0:51-1:40 EvilPicnic 1:41-2:30 victorskull 2:31-3:20 Stratwizard 3:20-4:10 EtherEclectic 4:11-End hueseph I think that's what you intended to post.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 4:35 AM ^Yeah, exactly. Shouldn't try to do those things, when tired!
woodhead	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 3:45 PM any more room, I want in/ And as for adding the parts in, jsut export your guitar part and give it to who ever is doingthe mixing. Send a copy complete, then one of guitar
woodhead	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 3:46 PM oh and if I get in jsut assigne me a time slot and I will record over it
woodhead	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 3:48 PM listing to the tune now, I def want in, can you add one more minute? PLEASE!
Intergalacti...	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 6:58 PM i would like tp but with the talent i see here i think i would be shown up vastly so i shall step back fdrom this
hueseph	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 8:25 PM I ain't showin' anybody up any time soon. Anyway for what it's worth, mines up Strawizard. Check your dnotes.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 22, 2005 @ 8:56 PM so what do you want me to do strat, just record within my time frame and sent the wav to you via "yousendit"?
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 3:47 AM Ether, do the same thing what hueseph did. Hey, people who didn't get into this jam. We can arrange more of these jams later.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 3:48 AM yeah... and hueseph... that sounded very good!
8111	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 3:51 AM I would luv to jooin in, but short on recording gear right now
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 3:54 AM Don't fret. We can do more of these jams!
hueseph	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 5:14 AM Thanks. I'm hoping my string noise will magically dissapear but somehow I don't think it will happen.
hueseph	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 3:02 PM Actually the more I listen to what I did, the more lame and emotionless it seems. Sorry.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 4:04 PM Strat i uploaded the tracks to my collab section, i did what Hueseph sugested. Hueseph, you realise you are always going to be your worst critic right? heck the more i listen to my songs the more i find something i wish i'd done differently.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 9:15 AM Exactly the same for me. Isn't that a good thing though? If you never found any flaws you wouldn't get better, would you? I'm always looking for perfection. but I never achieve it... Anyway, I'll give your track a listen Ether. I try record mine as soon as possible!
EtherEclectic	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 9:45 AM only thing i really didnt like about my solo was a two things: accidently hitting the 3rd string while messing around at the time on the 2nd...cant hear it too much but once again sense i did it...i hear it the most lol. minor timing issues on one riff towards to end before my big bend. over all i didnt think it was too bad...volume might be lower than than what i wanted.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 10:03 AM I listened that. Nice tone. Volume a bit too low, but I adjusted it easily. I also noticed that hueseph started playing too early, so his solo goes over yours for about second...
EtherEclectic	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 12:46 PM well we could easily just fade in/out it, as long as my good bend isnt soloed over im happy. its a deep bend that i really liked at the end.
imemine	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 12:48 PM This should be cool---Can't wait to hear it!!!!
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 12:56 PM Ok, I mix it so that hueseph is faded in. I thought about that earlier...
EtherEclectic	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 4:17 PM this is really going to be awsome, cant wait to hear the others oh and for any other collabs like this we should give them roman numerals for that epic feel to the name. part II, III, etc etc.
hueseph	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 10:25 PM Yeah I figured the fade in would be necessary. No sacrifice on my part. Can't wait to hear it all put together.
hueseph	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 11:53 PM Although, for the record, I didn't actually come in early. Just thought about this because, if everyone follows the times as laid out they will not necessarily conform with the bars and sections of the backing track. I kind of thought that this would bring an interesting aspect to the jam but whatever. Anyway, I thought I'd bring it to your attention.
hueseph	Date: October 24, 2005 @ 11:57 PM oh Ok I did come in about 6 second early.
EvilPicnic	Date: October 25, 2005 @ 7:17 AM Not being very computer-literate I'll just be downloading the file and recording my thing over it. Are we doing this in any sort of order?
EtherEclectic	Date: October 25, 2005 @ 8:30 AM well make sure you give strat a file without the backing track so he can just add that to what me and hueseph have already given him.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 25, 2005 @ 1:07 PM I'll be losing internet connection for about a week. I'll upload the jam later.
hueseph	Date: October 25, 2005 @ 9:06 PM Date: October 22, 2005 @ 2:54 AM Ok so those times were: 0:00-0:50 NurseGladys 0:51-1:40 EvilPicnic 1:41-2:30 victorskull 2:31-3:20 Stratwizard 3:20-4:10 EtherEclectic 4:11-End hueseph
EvilPicnic	Date: October 26, 2005 @ 8:40 AM 'well make sure you give strat a file without the backing track so he can just add that to what me and hueseph have already given him.' This sounds stupid, but how exactly would I do that? When I've done this before we just recorded over what the other guy uploaded.
EtherEclectic	Date: October 26, 2005 @ 12:29 PM well strat is mixing the whole thing all together so you need to give him one that only has your guitar. what i did was: in what ever program you use, sonar, cubase etc etc, record your solo in the time frame you have been given. then when mixing down an mp3 of it before hand remove the backing track so you have 50 seconds of silence before your guitar accually comes in. in cubase you need to drag the blue bar on the top all the way to the start of the track so it knows to mix down from the beginning even though there is nothing there until 0:51. doing it this way strat can edit each solo just incase there are volume issues etc. me and hueseph have already done something like this for strat. if you have cubase i can make screenshots of what it would like, not being rude by that lol i wouldnt mind taking screenies.
EvilPicnic	Date: October 27, 2005 @ 8:10 AM Ok, I'll have the track up on my dmusic page shortly for Strat to dl. Cheers.
hueseph	Date: October 27, 2005 @ 7:05 PM NurseGladys, how are you doing?
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 8:26 AM Okay, EvilPicnic. I've got your part now. I'll note victorsskull that he's up next. So, has anyone heard anything about NurseGladys?
hueseph	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 12:26 PM NurseGladys has been offline for about 6 days now. Should we let someone else have his spot? I'm getting antsy.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 12:29 PM I'll note him tonight. If he hasn't answered till tomorrow, we'll replace him.
woodhead	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 3:22 PM replace him with me please if you have too repalce him, I WANT IN
GreatGooglyM...	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 3:25 PM Ok, you're in, if he doesn't reply.

EtherEclectic	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 5:09 PM even even more almost closer! feel like we are all a bunch of frankensteins awaiting the arrival of our project... "lightning bolts, thunder, people outside toating pitchforks!"
GreatGooglyM...	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 3:02 PM I highly doubt any of you guys are interested, but the final version of the jam is now on my page. Phew... My part turned out crappy as hell.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 4:26 PM no it didnt Strat, your part was awsome. everyone's part had their awsome moments IMO.
hueseph	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 9:02 PM Finally! I do so like green eggs and ham! Thank you! Thank you Sam I am!
