Performing and recording a song for a chance at a $3 pack doesn't quite match up.

It wouldn't cost very much. He wants the video on YouTube...just play it live and have someone record it for you.
I will participate, if I can find someone who can record it for me. I recorded a solo clarinet recital I did last year but I couldn't post it to YouTube because I couldn't extract the video from the DVD onto my computer. I'll see what I can do, though.
-
thanks! if ur the only person who does it, then u win lol. it isn't expensive, it takes a t,l,ittle time, but i may be willing to ump it to 2 packs. or if in a band one pack per person.

I'm not into this kind of music, could you put up some more folk friendly options? Maybe something popular in secular or indie circles?
-
eh sorry colin, it is just stuff i know. u like gothic? i put up the becoming....
-
eh sorry colin, it is just stuff i know. u like gothic? i put up the becoming....
I'd feel weird covering my friend's songs. I'll find something and do it though. 21st is ironically my birthday. Unfortunately, The Troubadours probably couldn't record a live cover until the 28th. I will put together something solo though.
-
cool update with being able to do ANYTHING from the becoming...

Personally, I'm not into the screamo stuff, either. I was considering doing a remake of them (maybe a slow ballad of one of the harder songs -- kind of a funny contrast), but I may also consider doing I Cry by The Becoming.
-
my cousins band is the becoming ::) thats why u can do anything by them... lol and not all of that is stcreamo. some of it isn't. jsut a little...
-

-

Nice. I'm not really into the gothic sound, but I do like The Becoming, as well as Saviour Machine.
-
the becoming has a unique sound that is very true...
-
I'm working on an blues version of the ABR song. It's really fun, but the lyrics lack any rhyme at all.

I've got a bit side-tracked on this, mainly because all of my XLR cables are broken and the vocals sound bad with the combination of a concert mic, a XLR to 1/4 inch, my Bluesy falsetto, the fact that I like to have my vocals near spike range for effect, the compression to compensate, and the bit of amp fuzz I use. On top of that, I probably won't be able to mic the drum set and will have to resort to tracks. Also, none of the words in metal songs rhyme. I experimented with the ABR song, the Haste the Day song, and the FF5 song. The lyrics fit in some places, but not others.
And yeah, it's Garageband unfortunately. If I get to Polarius' house before my birthday, I could feasibly do this on protools.
Despite all these things, I'm actually taking some time to learn some blues theory from a book I've had on my shelf for a while which is good.
-
haha lol colin.
-
haha lol colin.
You win the thread.
-
i won my own thread? wow thats amazing ::) u gonna do it polarius?

:police:
( I will only spam a little more this evening. i never get to do this)
-
Nah, I don't do covers. I'm working on some screamo you may like though, I'll send the demos to you when they're finished.

lol i dont like screamo that much. i really just like the sound of the guitar. i like metal better :)
-
I don't really know how to classify the different hard sounds. It's probably metal. Actually, it's whatever RED is (sounds most similar).
-
That sounds intriquing.
I post that despite the fear of getting updates about this thread, so you know I actually think that.
-
ok... anyone have a video ready? i may post one just for fun (i cant win my own contest :angel: )
-
contest ends in 7 days.
-
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to have a video ready in time. I've been sick the past few days and haven't had the opportunity to put anything together. I will probably shoot a few videos just for fun and post them as soon as I shoot them.
-
that stinks fresno. i am willing to hold the contest a little longer for you if there are less than 3 participents.

Okay. Like I said, I've been sick for the past few days. I lost my voice and it still isn't completely back yet. Hopefully it will be soon so I can record a video. The main challenge will be finding someone who has a digital video camera.

I've always heard if you can hear the bass, then his/her amp is too loud. :P

nah, the person that told you that is just anti-bass.

That's pretty much true. You shouldn't be able to distinguish the bass' sound from the other instruments but you should be able to tell that it is there.
-
whats the point of playing bass then? ??? just to look good? lol.
-
Well, see, the bass is like a bridge between the guitar and the drums. The bass plays on the beats of the kick, but in playing notes defines the kick better. The bass is an absolutely necessary instrument for any band with drums, but is the least noticeable instrument in the song.
-
eh i like it loud :)
-
this should be over.. but i will wait a few days for atleast one person to enter.
