Heartland

I've found two "examples" of that line. Where do you want me to upload it to?

Whatever is easiest for you, no preference here.
Thank you

Got it, thanks so much- sounds great. Actually better quality than what I had too

Now just waiting on the midi file, probably finish up my part by next week if I get it this week. We have a total song count so far?

The first page has the list of who's doing what.

I see we're still missing some stuff, if anyone wants to collab on anything else (already doing summer with Jost 7)

I'm available for guitar/vocals/programming.
You can hear me doing all three here:

Also, doea anyone have midi files for any of the new songs??

I've just bought a bunch of new samples I want to try to use :-|

These are the ones I'll be using for:

Crash & Burn

We slip on the wire
We shimmer to shine
Now slide on the chrome and plastic.
The hum of the power lies
In the sum of our love
We trip the light fantastic.

Singing:
Do I drive or am I driven?
Can I brake, what I've been given?
Take a walk, turn, talk or
Crash and burn.

Everybody got a wife, I got mine
She's kneeling on the backseat
Feeling fine
She's married to a soldier in
The army of the Rhine
Well, he don't know so,
He don't mind.

She says:
Do I drive or am I driven?
Can I prey on, what I've been given?
Take a walk, turn, talk or
Crash and burn.

The hum of the power lies
The sum of our love.

We trip on the wire
We shimmer to shine
We slide on the chrome and plastic.

We sing:
Do I drive or am I driven?
Can I brake, what I've been given?
Take a walk, turn, talk or
Crash and burn.

I found a midi file for Summer and I've just quickly attached a few instruments, no mixing or anything just rough ideas...any thoughts etc on this:

I think the guitars sound too fake at this point but it's a start......
Don't feel bad to give negative feedback, this only took me five minutes and I am looking for opinions to help improve it

I really like your voice. If you could just take one step back from the microphone.

Voice to loud on that one for you or did I miss your point?

no offence meant. It's just that you're so close to the mic that every "side-noise" of the mouth is overly audible. (like breathing, lip movements etc)
Nevermind, it's a cool effect. Some people (f.ex. Peter Steele) based their whole career on that "proximity effect". (forgive me for using such amateurish lingo.... I just don't know the specific audio vocabulary)

ahhh gotcha, yea it was on purpose with this take but might be a bit much I'm sure. But I'll try something different next time

Got the latest version of Summer up for scrutinizing:

http://www.mcallister-productions.com/music/Summer.mp3

It'd just be called ambient noise, cd. The proximity effect refers to the increase in volume of bass frequencies as you get closer to certain types of mic (I forget which).

thanks for the info.

@mcalldp. on a second listen I suddenly knew what the song and your way of singing reminds me of..... Roger Waters....

Honestly I thought the singing part might be the weakest point of your "project". I have no doubt that there are a lot of talented musicians amongst you that can handle decent cover versions, but to come up with a good singer, whose voice can stand on his own (please not so many faux Eldritches) and interprets the song in a certain way is rather difficult.

But here you got one already. Definitely.

I think you have a cool voice, very Bowie-ish

Those would be cardioid mics, like the SM-58.

why does the version I listened to have no vocals?

try this one, Sir James:

Thanks Jess, that's a lovely song and you do have a very nice voice, Sir! definite shades of RW

Thanks all for the kind words. I hope to come up with something that works for Summer. I tries putting together a bit of an audio track before, just playing around- jac 7 already has onne really but who knows what we end up using- by the way, this project is a great idea!

He took too many steps away from the mic?

Someone is awake today!

Nice song, and that "ambient noise" ain't really a problem in my book. Just use one of yer mom's stockings next time, and sing through THAT.


I was thinking "Jealous Guy" when I heard the song tho

Very good mixing too! Impressed...

IZ.
