Ah shit I'd totally forgotten about that mate! Sorry been proper busy! I'm away this weekend but I'll see if I can't torrent a good copy of Wavelab and do it for ya in the week
If I ain't doing anything it's prolly because I forgot so just gimme a poke if I've gone quiet about it
It has a click track, but the problem with my computer is that...well, I either have sound going in, or sound going out...
I can either record directly into the computer without hearing a thing, or listen to the program without any input, so unfortunately, I can't coordinate the times...don't worry though, about the only thing I stretched was in fact the drum track
I just need an actual band going so I don't have to line up my own timing again and again o_O
On a similar note...I've discovered that I have really weird timing, when put into perspective...
In that case think about getting a decent sound card. Native Instruments and Maudio do pretty good ones for not lots.
Also I don't recommend recording an entire band together on one input. For starters you don't have control over the levels of the individual instruments which makes mixing pretty much impossible. And also drums are a lot louder than vocals...
Professional recordings are done in pieces. First the whole band will play and record a ghost of the track they are recording. Then the drummer will record on his own while listening to the track on headphones. Then bass. Then guitars. then vocals etc etc etc.
And Arklon; sorry I ain't had a chance to do anything recently. I've been too busy partying and trying not to loose my job after turning up 3 days late for a shift after said partying.
Screw it, I'm done, just remember the little guitar clip I had and let's be done with it. My computer fried finally. C drive was damaged.
Which means everything was lost. Luckily I can get back my music and I don't mind missing a few pictures, but still...it just left me deflated.
Like when you build this giant glorious monolith of a building and are a few hours into it...you saved once about 25 minutes into the project, but time flew and you forgot, caught up in the building.
Suddenly the server UE's and everything's gone. You feel empty and don't feel like building again. That's a good analogy for my predicament.
Sound bytes are all gone and I don't feel like going through all the uploads and downloads required to get to where my project was. So...yeah. Sorry guys.
EDIT: I'm on an old computer from a surplus...it experienced a college fire and lived. Same year as my last one; 2002 XP...from Westmont IT. It's from "Teltron Computers" so I don't even know how well this is going to go.
No, it's my shared computer I didn't get a new HD because we had the spare I'm using...cheaper to use something you already have. Plus, everything would still be gone.
That's the thing though, a song isn't what made it break...I'm a little ticked. Can't wait for a NON-shared computer.
Oh, and some good news about this one. It crashes less...I might even be able to play Tribes
On other news: We just recorded a couple of new songs, named Delerium and Thunder in the Mountains
Delerium is a weird kinda dub / metal / electronica combination and TinM is a nice folky song with an epic guitar solo (thank you, thank you) and some Jazz scat vocals
Erm.. it's a bit of a random one actually. I'm more of a late entry, but the original band was started by a mate from college. He is already pretty big on the minimal techno stage, and owns an indy minimal techno label called Minimal People. He uses Ableton Live and thought it'd be fun to do a colab with his mate on vocals. So they did a minimal remix of Cowgirl by Underworld, which is badass btw, and then got a few more members. Then I was asked to come for a jam and we wrote a couple of choonz then I joined and brought my friend Steve who's an awesome drummer in too!
Current band line-up:
Nic Marsden - Programming, Synths, Beats, Producer, owns own label
John Hetherington - Guitars, Lead Vocals, Ambience, Amateur Photographer
Graeme ? - Guitars, Flute, Harmonica, Sax, Vocals, Scat Vocals
Tom Fox - Bass Guitar, Home studio
Tom Marsden (Me) - Guitars, Bass, also work in a studio
Harley Dawson - Guitars, Ambience, general weird noises, Dad owns a music store
Becky Rhodes - Lead Vocals, Egg shaker!
Steve Griffiths - Digital drummer
I think I've got everyone there
But yeah, generally we're all massive recreational drug users who love music, and so both elements come accross really well in the music we produce!
Do it man! Ask around, there're always bands looking for players or players looking to start bands! Although I gotta say this band is looking to be a lot more sucessful than the last one! A thrash metal band called Ninja Dave

So how did your project go Meza?

I can play pretty much anything by Iron Maiden on guitar.

Demon: as touched on by Deflun, we've pretty much got all the guitarists we need! Can you sequence MIDI?
ill upload a snippet of me playing a chuck of Dance of Death by Iron maiden later.
1 question;
whats in it for me?

So any Audacity tracks I make might sound...unclean...might be good for some genres, so hopefully I'll make it work.
