Tool

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Don't worry. I have enough confidence in you. :hug: I haven't heard a note of singing from you though, but just saying that you can sing Tool is impressive enough for me. :D

Anyways, you're going to have to really tinker with it for a while. Don't effect it too much. Just a little echo or reverb will make it good enough. You're not going to get pristine quality out of a computer mic and Audacity. (Sad, but true.)

[clearvision]

I hav a pro mic, just don't know how to use it with my comp, i may try rigging it through a clean sound in my fx unit...

[Artemician]

My mic doesn't amount to much, but I'll give it a shot. I'll try and record something soon if I can.

[Kurrpt]

Im going to GC to buy either a Shure Sm57 or Sm58 for recording vocals (also for my talk box FXs, as well as mic'in a cab. Im pretty decent when it comes to MJK sound id say :thumb: I have no desire to do all the songs that will be done, but i was thinking about doing 46&2 as well. Depending on whoever does Lateralus, and the ability would dictate whether or not i would record those as well

[Moseswasbanned]

Anyone who's doing vocals should record them for as many songs as they can. We'll just pick the best one.

[Moseswasbanned]

Don't worry. I have enough confidence in you. :hug: I haven't heard a note of singing from you though, but just saying that you can sing Tool is impressive enough for me. :D
I recorded like a verse of Part of Me just for a preview, it's a few pages back. I'll find it later if you need me to.

[Kurrpt]

yea, i dont like doing MJK heavy singing as much as slow, melodic, so i really dont have a desire to do those id say. Even though that my sh!tty guitar work on Part of Me. I get my Mesa Mark IV head today, so if i can find a tone to match, maybe ill do it up again

the 58's are for vocals, the 57's are for instruments (usually just live) there are much better mics, but for $80 you cant beat it.

[Kurrpt]

so theres nothing that could possibly do both? i know my mesa has a record out, but im not sure how that'd work if i have my gnx4 in the fx loop

[Futuro]

the 58's are for vocals, the 57's are for instruments (usually just live) there are much better mics, but for $80 you cant beat it.

shures are good mics but are easily beaten(value wise) by carvin microphones.

http://www.carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=CM68&CID=MIC

this mic's frequency response is 5hz lower than the sm58. and check out the prices and features on there other mics (great drum mics too!!).

Che Guevara if you want one that does everything, pick up one neumann mic :lol: they have the ONLY vocal mic that can be used for everything (including a bass drum)....just save up a weee-bit more :lol:

and for those of you who dont know about neumann's prices...her ya go

http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--NEUU87AISETZ

[Kurrpt]

i just paid a lot of money for an adk condensor mic. I got it mostly for vocals, and it was funny cause i pwned the clerk at Guitar Center

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Che, can't you just go line-in with your GNX?

Or, are you talking about recording vox?

I've decided that 4 degrees and Prison Secks are my faves off of Undertow.

Faith+1- Today is the tenth.

[Futuro]

yup i know its the 10th... i suck at the third chorus....but be patient and it will come.

my faves are undertow, which no ones mentions in here, and 4 degrees. Initially it was prison sex, now that takes 3rd.

Yea the guy tried to tell me it didnt have a phantom switch for the mic.

[Futuro]

im using 2 karaoke mics to record :upset: dont worry though....my awsome skilllz will still shine through :D

[Kurrpt]

you recording vocals too?

[Knifeboy]

so theres nothing that could possibly do both?


The shure 58 is just the 57 with a... What are they called.. http://www.andrewsimpson.org/sm58.jpg that metal thing on the top... Added.. if you take it off, you basicly have the SM57

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So then go for the 58, and if you want to record guitar or other insturments, take off the 'metal thing on top.'

I know nothingabout mics, I'm just saying what I have concluded from what Knifeboy said. :p

[Artemician]

I've decided that 4 degrees and Prison Secks are my faves off of Undertow.


:thumb: Same here.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

When do you plan on recording, Art?

[Artemician]

Whenever I get the chance. I'm going to try for later tonight, but can't make any promises.

[Futuro]

i just jammed to that song for over an hour....i cant get that chorus sounding right.


the third chorus that is.

[Futuro]

**** you lateralus to all hell for eternity.....i really want it up tonight but so far there are parts i am not even a little happy with. im gonna keep trying.

[Artemician]

Ugh, I'm going to have to step down. I just recorded some bits of me singing, the fact that I'm only 16 is painfully obvious :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

**** you lateralus to all hell for eternity.....i really want it up tonight but so far there are parts i am not even a little happy with. im gonna keep trying.

I wouldn't stress on it too much, if they are just small mistakes. Most people won't even notice if you are in time, and on cue. Even if there are people that do notice your mistakes, you can just tell em you were doing a little bit of improv. There's absolutely no shame in that. I do it all the time.

I tried singing while I was driving today. Dear jesus, it's hard to get any 'distortion' out of my voice without it cracking. I can sing on key, but when it comes to adding any sort of harsh sound to it, it's like puberty all over again. :-/

[Futuro]

im gonna post it tommorow :upset: sorry

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Heh, sorry. I think I'm coming off a bit too pushy. I'm sure you're going to have yours done quicker than anybody else. JoZ might get his done quick, but I have a feeling that all the guitarists are going to take their sweet time. What Bitches. :p

If you are sick of torturing your self with such a complex song, you could take a small break and record a different Tool song, for kicks. I'm gonna learn 4 degrees, so would be convinient. :D

Do you have AIM/MSN?

[Futuro]

marshprobe is my aim

[JMann]

Do you guys have a guitarist for Lateralus? Because I can do it if you need someone. I've already recorded the song before with someone on MX, though with quite a few careless mistakes. Have a listen: http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0RSZ6U5ED6EH3VIFHISRRKC02

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

:eek: That would be great! I'll check it out tomorrow, and if it's good, it will definitely be in the mix. What did you use to record?

[Moseswasbanned]

Ugh, I'm going to have to step down. I just recorded some bits of me singing, the fact that I'm only 16 is painfully obvious :lol:
Same here. I'm still going to do it though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Someone DL that guys file and tell me how good it is!! It'll take me about 2 hours to DL it my self, and I'm about to leave, so hurry. :D

[Moseswasbanned]

Sure.

[Otherside]

That was very good. There were some timing parts that were a little fast, and the second solo was kind of off, but, like I said, very good otherwise.

[Moseswasbanned]

Here, Jake listen to this when you get the chance.



http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0DAQO01V6ZJ4I2RE79NBNDIG9C

One verse of Part of Me. I tried adding just a little bit of reverb and it ****ed up and now I can't get it back to normal.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Why is it 3 mb when it's only 1 verse? Is it a WAV file? :lol: I'll do it for sure tomorrow. :thumb:

[Moseswasbanned]

It's the whole thing kurrupt recorded and I only got around to doing one verse.


Lateralus sounds pretty good. I like the clean alot and and the solo's are pretty accurate. Definately good enough for now.

[Lateralias]

Favorites off Undertow here are Bottom, Intolerance, and Undertow. How bout Opiate? What's everyones favorite off Opiate? Mine is Cold and Ugly... Gotta love Adam's thick distortion sound on that song.

[Futuro]

im downloading the lateralus guitar part right now 1hour 45minuets :upset:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ohh ok. Well, if it was one verse, I'd do it now, but since it's 3 mb, I'll put it on my to do list for tomorrow.

Otherside-Thanks :) Again, I'll check it out tomorrow. For now, I'm done for the night. See you all in the mornin'.

Like I said from Undertow- Prison Sex and 4 Degrees. the intro to Prison Sex is awesome. I read how to do it too- First, you need to have your guitar in drop B. (Grr) Then you take the whammy bar, 'unwhammy' it and then pluck the strings. It'll sound like they're just flopping there. The you rewhammy it to make it sound like it's 'accelerating' or something

From Opiate, I gotta say I like Sweat, Part of Me, and the Gaping Lotus Experience. :D

[Futuro]

i wonder if he followed with the track?

[Lateralias]

Yeah that's pretty neat how Adam did the intro for that... I tried it myself and it sound awesome... Only problem is it detunes my guitar like crazy when I do it.

[Futuro]

he followed what sounds like a guitar pro track for lateralus. its not the same tempo.

[Vandle]

That recording is pretty good, Im sure with a bit more practice it could be better, Few things about it at the times 3:30 and 5:30 (or there abouts) it just sounds really...wierd..offtime i guess, Transitions are rough! hehe but besides that pretty good just tell the drummer to do a Creseno at the end next time :P

Hurry up and upload yours Faith..been waiting ages :P

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I don't know dude, that Lateralus recording sounded pretty **** good and a lot of times when bands cover songs, they don't play it at the exact same tempo. Oh, and the Guitar Pro track for Lateralus that you can find on MySongBook is correct.

[JMann]

I can record it over again if need be, no problem. I think my 6th string is out of tune on that recording anyways.

[Kurrpt]

i tried the mic out today. Im amazed how good my GNX4 could record vocals with the phantom power and a condenser mic (got a better one than the shure) I was gonna record vocals, but i had 5 hours of sleep.

Ima try and wait till after lunch. Hopefully the vocal chords wont sound as raspy

Sounds good.

[Kurrpt]

that part of me vox was no good. I heard maybe one scream i thought was decent....but it seems like he does the screaming a bit better than I can, without getting all worked up. I think if im pissed, its easier.


You get anything down Moses?

I need to look at some of the lyrics for 46&2, cause im dumb and forgot some of the small bits

Well the Part of me vox was mostly crap because of the reverb, I'd do it again but I don't even think that we'll be doing that song anyway. So far I haven't gotten anything down, my family needs to get out of the house first.

Also if you think my screams are decent we should do Ticks and Leeches.

[sj_2150]

my favourite band is not TOOL but i luv em.

theyre in my view the most talented band in the world though.

[clearvision]

Meh i have a clip of me singing aenima, don't know wether to post atm...MXican said it was ok but i think he was shitting me :( I am having trouble adapting to using a proper mic...having to move it nearer/closer...and i haven't a clue to mix on cool edit, so parts of it are real quiet and others are real loud.

That's why you need compression

[clearvision]

Explain please, I'm really not a vocalist, or sound engineer...

EDIT: i searched aorund found my answer

What is a cheap mans way of stopping my sounds 'clipping'? can i get a program on my comp that will compress sounds coming through line in?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I can record it over again if need be, no problem. I think my 6th string is out of tune on that recording anyways.
I think you should re-record it once Faith+1 gets his track recorded and uploaded. You should play along to that so that everything is sync'd and as good as possible. :thumb:

Rob-Mic recording is far superior. Problem solved. :D

On a serious note, try using different programs, or recording at a different speed. I am having a terrible latency issue right now. I need a new sound driver. If my answer doesn't help, check out the Jam Session section. Moaner or Moseph will have an answer for you in no time at all. :D If you don't already have Audacity, I would reccomend DLing it. It's so simple to use. it takes like 5 minutes to master pretty much everything you'll need to know. http://www.audacity.soundforge.net

300th post ITT :D

[Kurrpt]

when you guys record vocals, you go by the album, or the idividual track? (like the one posted)

[Merkaba]

Ok, I read back a few pages and still dont know whats going on....You guys recording a mix or something? I would love to do some vocals. I'm one of the resident vocal coaches so it seems in the jams session thread. I can do just about anything maynard has done from orestes type stuff to ticks and leeches. whats up?

[Kurrpt]

Hey...

I'm surrently working on aenima, i have a sketchy backing track put together by JoZ...I'm sure he'll re-record when he gets some time...It'd be great if you could lay down a vocal track for me...

I have attempted to lay one down, but I really couldnt get the chorus right and my positioning of the mic was very very bad. Since I'm using a pro mic that would be used for live performances, through my guitar amp...into my line in...I need to position the mic corretly for the loud chorus and quieter verse...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Merkaba, you wanna give us a little preview? Could you upload something for us, so we can hear how you sound?

Songs we need vocals for are Lateralus, 46&2, Ænema, and some time in the near future, probably Stinkfist. We have a couple other guys that are planning on doing vox, so if you don't want to, or you don't have the time, that's cool, but it would be cool if you could. :D

[Moseswasbanned]

How do I get that soundclick of 46&2 to wav?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Download the mp3, then use Audacity to convert it. Why do you need it to be a WAV file?

[Moseswasbanned]

Recording purposes.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Oh ok. Well yeah, DL the mp3, if you haven't already. Open it in Audacity, then when you resave it, click something like 'export as WAV file.' :thumb: That oughta do the trick for you.

What are you gonna record right now?

****, I never DLed your Part of Me. :p Will do, now.

[breakinginflames]

i bet i could have sung tool a few years ago, but adolesence has some drawbacks.....

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Moses. Part of Me is pretty good. Next time you record, dont do it in a small cave. :p

[Rounder]

Recording purposes.

most editors/muiltitrackers can play mp3's. Its not like your gonna get a better souind if you convert it back to wav. it started out as a 48000 khz 24 bit wav file so the mp3 should be good to go.

By the way, the final mix has been posted. its 100 times better now, all new guitars, (the only thing left from the other onwe is the drum track). plus post production. that other version has nothing. check it out (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/markmatter_music.htm) first on the list

[Merkaba]

I'll try to get some samples up Tomorrow...Sunday

I would love to get at stinkfist...or aenima

Yes I know what the edit button is for, it's just easier for people to respond when the thread is at the top.

Any way it seems that it doesn't matter how many times I bump anyway, because the people that post in here only go in the thread when they want to. The second they want to they'll just find it.

Anyone know where I can find Tool's Comfortably Numb cover? I've tried Soulseek and haven't gotten any results... It is pretty rare though

Aw it isn't? :confused: Who is it then?? Vocalist sounds alot like Maynard to me... hmmm..

[Arrakakaka]

You know how the cover of *Aenima is all like, when you move it moves the picture/illusion? Well... Me and my friend found out some stuff about the album booklet. Go ahead and flip the booklet on its side, slide it in where the original cover side was. Like where Maynard is all bent over into a ball.

I could be doing it to be nice, or maybe it's to stop you from constantly acknowledging the fact that you tend to kill off threads.

I used to have it but then it was wiped off my harddrive after I got a virus and had to re-setup my whole comp.. I'll try some bittorrent sites and see if I can find any "rare Tool" stuff, if not then I can try WinMX as Misunderstood said. If I get it I'll post it here.

Could be bull

The other rumour is that it is the name for the bands live DVD to be released ont he date specified.

We shall see i suppose.

If any of that is real, that would be pretty cool to know that things are moving along. I guess that was just a fan made album cover, but I wouldn't mind if the name turned out to be Teleincision. Just gimme the goddamn music already!!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I've had a few mailing list updates that are interesting. Gimmie a sec, ill post some

"It was reported today that Tool's dvd will be released
July 26th. The name will be simply TOOL LIVE In addition to the live music
there is a movie on it. The movie was said to be in the style of Pink
Floyd's "The Wall". There are 6 songs in the movie. These are not songs that
will be on their upcoming cd. The article also stated that they have been
working on this since the days of Aenima. Running time is 66 minutes.
Rolling Stone said that they will have a full review of it in the next issue
of their magazine. RS says the information came from a guy who works at the
company manufacturing the dvd. They didn't believe him initially until he
sent them a copy of it. I forgot the link but you can just search it on
their web page. I am sure we will have a post from the band by tomorrow in
light of this news."

Well, I'm not really sure what to think. This does seem possible, but until
we get official confirmation on this, please take this news with a grain of
salt. It was already said in the February Newsletter that the live DVD would
probably after the new album, so stay tuned for more on this... -EyeChakra

as eyechakra said, it seems possible, it would explain why the dvd has taken
ages to be released, and i remember blair said awhile back in the feb
newsletter that the dvd is still being edited and will be released after the
new album, along with some other special treats that have been in the works
for awhile, maybe he was referring to this 6 song music video movie thing.

[Idiot Martyr]

Hey guys I've been out of the loop for a while. Anyone care to recap the progress on the covers?

And thanks for that AJIG.

[Moses]

Matter's soundclick doesn't have a mp3 link...... I can't record until I get it on my computer.

[Merkaba]

Dang...sorry guys. Its gonna be at least another day. I did download stinkfist from uh...rounder I think. Good stuff. I'll probably do 46 and two just for the hell of it...just to have it myself. And that PUsh-it is awesome on there too...one of my fave tool songs. I'm in training at work and have been switching shifts and its frackin up my sleep and schedule but hopefully I can get up early, get the cords warmed up good and record tomorrow..at least enough for a demo. My cords are stiff as hell but today should give them a good rest since I dont have much time to do anything but go to work. see ya soon

[Merkaba]

They're writing.
They have a 17+ minute epic written supposedly.
And there's talk about a new DVD.
New? What ever happened with the dvd they were supposed to be doing of the live shows? I didnt miss that did I. THey never released anything right?

[clearvision]

That would actually be amazing AJIG...

They haven't released anything yet merkaba...

[Dude3]

August 16th, that sounds a little too soon for their album to come out. I mean, it could happen(and I really REALLY wish it would happen), but it seems like there really hasen't been enough news on the album for it to be released so soon.
Teleincision.
It sounds mental. It could be the title.
It is always Tool though. They probably would like to release it more unexpectaly.

[BlindWriting]

Hopefully not, google it up. Tell us what you find out... :)
Well, Elephtheria is Greek for "freedom"...
More to come.

EDIT:
Solved. Elephtheria was supposedly written on a piece of the alien ship that crashed in Roswell, NM in 1947. This goes along with the fact that in the newsletter, Blair and co. were attempting to visit Area 51. Nothing to do with the new album, at least I don't think so.

[BlindWriting]

I've had a few mailing list updates that are interesting. Gimmie a sec, ill post some
Where did you get this from?
This whole thing is getting more interesting by the minute.

Tool mailing list, people put up what they find. Awaitng more updates

[Darkness]

Thats awesome... thanks for the info fellas.

Could someone tell me wich tool song is the easiest on bass? I wanna start palying tool but wanna get the easy ones first, I already have part of lateralus, part of schism and most of H. ironed out. thx

It's a DVD, which means that it'll just have their videos and probably some extra stuff they did. It's not their new album. It'll be like Salival if I'm gathering this correctly.

[BlindWriting]

If you think about it, Teleincision is the more fitting name for their live/video DVD. You know. Tele.

[Mr Herb]

Right. Tele? television? works like that or something. And all of their past studio albums have had one word titles. This one is erm 2 perhaps? dunno

[Lateralias]

I have probably the best live tool ever seen :)

The legendary oklahoma show...

I envy you...

[Darkness]

Yeah I have a that show to... so awesome. Ganna burn it to a dvd... someday.

I can't get that soundclick to mp3 because the mp3 link isn't on there.

I'm talking about 46&2. How do I get it on my computer? I'm really dumb right now but I don't know how to get an mp3 version of it. It's all stream. I don't know how I'd be able to record the thing.

Well, Tool is very hard to play on bass for any song. I would suggest maybe Sweat from Opiate or Sober from Undertow. Those were the first songs i learned when i was trying to play Tool on bass.

[Darkness]

I'd say sober, Hooker with a *****, or stinkfist. Check out the bass guitar forum here, plenty of Tool fans that can help you out there.

Edit:
I like how they censor penis but not hooker

[Mr Herb]

and wich would you consider their hardest on bass?

[Friik]

and wich would you consider their hardest on bass?

The Grudge
Schism
Disposition
Reflection
Ænima
Intolerance (well...the tabs i've seen have some pretty wierd harmonics, but thats about it)

:giganticsize7lightbulb:

Hmm, this could be why Tool put Faiip de Oaid at the END of Lateralus. To be sort of a bridge from one album to the next. Kind of ties in with the Roswell deal...Meh

Actually, that also kind of reminds me of how they put Third Eye at the end of Aenima.

Aenima was a pretty ****ing angry album, and third eye bridged the gap towards their Lateralus-era spirituality.

You could be on to something, but like I said, it may just coincide more with the topic of the newsletter.

Time will tell.

"Be paaaatient!"

[neatobassman]

and wich would you consider their hardest on bass?

the version of Ænima off tooltabs.net
There are others, I just can't think right now

I was gonna' ask the same the thing. What's so legendary about this concert?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Its the only full live show thats been filmed and shared across the net.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

So...anyone wanna YSI it? ha. I'm somehow doubting that. And no it can't be the only show because I have a full show in London from 94. Remember? Someone posted the link to the website not that long ago.

[Rothmans]

Its just great teh sound and everything the second part is so great with the jam bit and everything.

[Kurrpt]

i saw a boot leg of a Las Vegas show. Was on VHS.


/tru story :thumb:

[Merkaba]

Well the astoria show has to be at least partially legendary...if not just for the reason that maynard releases the Hoyce Gracie training on the crowd surfer and does basically 2/3 of Push-it on his back with the cord rapped around the guys neck....

[Rothmans]

The new york one that is floating around on winmx is pretty good I havnt got the fool thing but it is good I wouldnt doubt it is better the oklohoma show.

[clearvision]

The oklahoma show has the best live performance i've ever seen, if the NYC show is better, I wanna see it.

[Syncratic]

I need the story behind the Astoria show...what happened?

Some guy jumps on stage, tries to hug maynard. Maynard looks like hes gonna hug him, then throws him on to his back and sings the remaining part of pu**** sitting on the guys back.

**** yea thats david cross and that other guy from Bob and Dave. Your talking about HERE'S TOOL YOU ****ING FAGGOTS!!? If you never seen bob and dave, your missing out on a lot. Jack black and a bunch of other funny mother****ers were on that show. Bob is doing soms adult swim stuff now, and i see everyone else around on tv every once in a while. but that show was ****ing great.


by the way the OK show is ok, danney proves that hes actually a human being by ****ing up the solo to 46 and 2 on that vid

[Otherside]

So I was at FYE today looking at cds, came across Tool, and the first CD in there was "A piano tribute to Tool". It was interesting, very haunting, mainly because of the lack of any other instruments. There was also a classical gothic tribute to Tool, or something to that effect, not as good though...

[Rothmans]

The NYC one is where the two guys are saying her is tool you faggots I only ahve some videos of that show the sound is great and the video on the backround is class aswell.

[Mr Herb]

there are a zillion tributes to Tool, oddly i ahvnt liekd any yet I liked the on tribute thats been made to apc

[Rothmans]

I heard some stuff off the piano one (the patient I think) and it was good the industrial thing or goth in most definitely crap.

Nope.

:amaze:

[Sleeper]

I didnt know they did a cover of Sober, Im anxiouse to hear it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm not a big fan of Staind. The only thing that partially sets them apart from radio rock is their vocalist. That guy is pretty amazing. Other than that, I see nothing good in Staind. With that said, maybe the cover is actually good, since Sober is mainly driven by Maynard.

[Moses]

I didnt know they did a cover of Sober, Im anxiouse to hear it.
I think it's acoustic. Could be wrong though.

[misunderstood]

Yeah, i've heard that staind cover. I don't think it was acoustic though (it might be, I don't remember clearly). Nothing too great...I didn't think so anyway. Limp Bizkit also did a cover of 'Opiate', I think...Nothing too great there either.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

/hits upside down satanic post milestone


Congrats. :confetti:

Anyways, an acoustic version wouldn't be very interesting. I doubt it would sound very good though, because the song is supposed to be very detuned, for lack of a better word, and acoustics don't really pull that off well. :-/ I'd have to hear it to judge it though.

[Moses]

Limp Bizkit also did a cover of 'Opiate', I think...Nothing too great there either.

Anyway I bet they did a decent job aside from Fred Durst. He probably butchered it like everything else in this world.

Staind's version is far too slow. Aaron should have done a good job of it, given his voice, but he struggled.

And please, never post the link to Fred 'The Shred' Durst butchering any tool ever please

B.t.w - Does anyone else think the people that video tape these shows have absolutely no idea about the songs because all they do i leave the Recorder on Maynard while the best parts of the intruments are missed, i dont mind seeing the singer but we see him 95% of the time.

Yeah, that's true. They always take the camera off of the person who it should be on.

hmmm.... interesting...

i thought peeps were all the ball

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Its funny, we have bass tracks for some tracks, guitar tracks for others, and drum tracks being done for another set of songs.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm very pissed about my latency issue. Now it's like 'what's the point of recording something if you can't use it for anything other than gutiar?'

:angry:

Hey Ben, how did your attempt at recording end up? I never heard.


Rob- Why is the file 10 mbs? Is it like 10 minutes, or is it just at a super high bit rate?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I think its the video, hence the large size.

And my recording never happened, since I left for download before I could do so, and on my return, everything had been moved away (mic, wires, etc)

[clearvision]

I don't know it's 6:53 long so probably something to do with the bit rate.

I'm still struggling to find time to sit and record, i always get tired and end up sleeping, or going out...I may record it in sections, that way it'll be easier :-*

[Merkaba]

I did stinkfist today really quick before going to work...it was a quick take so dont judge it too harshly. I'll try to have it up after I get back from work. Its not too bad but of course the self is the greatest critic, I just know i can do a bit better but again...singing in my apartment bedroom isnt comfortable with me ...I think too much about my neighbors. Anyways.. gotta run. be back soon

[Shadius]

I'm really interested in findng the Oklahoma show bootleg, both parts if possible, could anyone tell me where they got it from or where they'd suggest at this stage?

Everyone who has ever recorded A Tool show needs to be taken out back and shot exocution style. They always film maynard during drum solos and ****.

that vid is the OK part 1 vid. I found it on Lime. He ****s up the drum solo of 46aand2. Actually it looks like hes tring to improv something on the spot, and gets out of time with the song. Its mnice to see your idols **** up now and then so you can realize theyre not perfect. just real ****ing close.

By the way I'm still having no luck finding the Tool Comfortably Numb cover... I know there is one! I use to have it.. Definitely sounded like Maynard.

[BlindWriting]

Getting slow around the Tool thread lately.
We need new songs! Or at the very least, the MX covers.

[Futuro]

just got back from Vacationing. and i have created the file today for lateralus, i actually recorded it the 12th but i had no time to upload before i left. its 9 megs, so t will take me a while to upload to soundclick.it was recorded using a karaoke microphone so it is crappy quality

i made the little solo thing he does like at 7:10 really wierd, instead of planning out what he did, i just hit everything i could as fast as i could :D and right before the drums start again you can hear it cut(yes... i recorded in 2 pieces :upset:) im sure there is some way to nock it off or cover it up :lol:

No, don't listen to Sober. it's pretty lame. Ticks is good though.

Use the edit button

I've not heard anything other than Be Yourself and their newest single. I like their new single's solo. It's pretty cool. I still don't think Audioslave comes close to touching the greatness that was Rage Against the Machine. :(

[Mr Herb]

It dsnt, its like a watered down version of Rage and even of soundgarden slightly. Too watered down perhaps.

[Huber]

I like Audioslave. Comparing them to those two bands is unfair, they're completely different from eachother.

[Mr Herb]

yes and no I think. You can hear a lot of musical resemblence in audioslave to Rage in many songs. some times i think its rage what am listening to. its just watered down and with wholy diferent vocals and very diferent lyrics, i dunno what tha hell Cornell writes about on audio.

The remblences are understandable, you got rage minus Zach plus Cornell.... its gonna sound a bit the same.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

you remind me of a 13 year old girl, whose parents are breaking up so you decide to be an internet toughgirl....i know i must be close.
Either that or a real bad gimmick.

About Tool touring, I think they're doing a mini tour with Isis, and they'll probably tour with Meshuggah again, since they may have coinciding tour dates...Oh, and if Pink Floyd do a full blown reuinion tour, it would literally make my lifetime to see them on stage together. :D

It won't happen, but if it did.../orgasms

[Futuro]

in a rumor magazine there was speculation of a mudvayne tool tour(because the bands were both produced by botrill) but since mudvayne wasn't produced by botrill this last album it wont happen.

[Huber]

I'd love it if they went with Meshuggah again. I love Meshuggah.

[BlindWriting]

Dr. Jake mentioned Isis, which we know for sure is going to happen. I would kill to see that live, hopefully this mini-tour isn't any harder to get to than a normal Tool show would be.

[Futuro]

whos Isis???

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I wouldn't be so certain about the Isis thing, BW. It very well could be what Blair intended with the whole code equation thing, but Blair is a wierd dude, so you never know. Don't get your hopes of quite that much. I bet it will happen though.

Could someone upload some Isis for me? I've been dying to hear them, and every effort I've made has failed as of yet. Darn.

I think a Mudvayne and Tool concert wouldn't be nearly as cool as seeing Tour with a band closer to Tool's talent level. :p Ryan Martinie is a talented guy, but the rest of the band...eh

[Mr Herb]

Whats type of music does Isis play?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Bart told me that they are sort of a hard to define band. A cross of black, death, prog, and other metal genres. :p

AKA metal.

[BlindWriting]

With a lot of softer stuff, kind of like the lighter, more atmospheric and sometimes eerie side of Porcupine Tree, but without the psychedelia.
