Musicians?

Any musicians around here? What do you play?

Me, myself, and I, we're primarily a drummer/percussionist, but also do alot of programming/midi work. I also tinker on the guitar, and that's why I wrote this because I just picked up a pair of vintage archtop electrics from my great uncle who just passed away. They sound SUH WEEET!!!! Makes me feel all BB King inside.

Had to share. :grin:
 
I'm a drummer, too, but I mess around with guitar and bass as well. I'm a sucker for vintage gear. I've got a Roland Space Echo analog delay that decays like no other. I record on a 1/2" reel to reel and still buy vinyl whenever I can. Outside of my digital filmmaking world, I'm addicted to that old school warm analog sound.
 
I was a jazz performance major at Berkeley, String Bass (minor in composition and arranging). Pretty much lost use of my hands for playing - long story but a lack of cartilage causes them to lock up. Without that limitation, which is pretty limiting, I can also play a bit of guitar, electric bass, piano, and more than the rest saxophone.
 
Guitar player started in the late sixtys playing Hendrix & Cream three piece power rock. Played in Country Rock Bands thru the eighties and early ninties(thats where the money was) and became a jazz lover in the mid nineties.(Larry Carlton,Stanley Jordan, Pat Methany etc).

ouch. One of these I just picked up is a '59 gretsch anniversary archtop. Not lettin this one go!
 
Electric bass, piano, percussion. I'm actually gearing up to move a piano 30 miles from my parents' house to my house tomorrow morning. Looking forward to getting my chops back, and hopefully getting to the next level.
 
i play guitar and sing in a band... i bought a yamaha keyboard for scoring movies, but i don't really know how to play piano.

Sounds like a studio dub cuz I put the guitar recording through like 7893473 different noise reducers nd stuff....and Fruity Loops helps alot for beats and synths.

april 1st?

EDIT: I need ITunes??..hell no...Windows Media is madd easy to use...ITunes is complicated for me..haha
 
what amp and outboard gear did you use?


"...you gotta get up earlier than that Farmer."
 
I use a Marshall amp.

Outboard gear?...the set up I had was...the computer...mic infront of amp...and i wrapped the area of the amp and mic with like a blanket so there's like not a lot of echo and stuff...but there crackles and stuff..and you could hear me plucking the strings on the guitar..so it took me like a whole day to get rid of the sounds through a noice reducer pluggin on Acid Pro.

Then went to Fruity Loops and made some synths and they had some preset drumbeats that I imported into Acid..then made my own beats from the sounds by timing them differntly...it took a while to put it all together.
 
so.... did you do any overdubbing? What mic did you use? Preamps? How about that doubling and the pinky volume swells?

If you can't tell man, i'm calling your bluff. ;)

yes there was overdubbing on the guitar...on some parts you could hear it...i jus re-recorded so it came out differently then put that track ontop of the other.

mic...those white crappy computer mics.

Preamp....well...a Boss ME-50 pedal..if you consider it a preamp......used the distortion on that.

The pinky volume swells?....iduno wat u jus said...but I have a flexible pinkie where i can do really fast swipes.

ok...tomorrow...ill make a short like 30 sec video of me playin a piece of the song to show you....blahhh!!!
