Well ill see what i can do, Any sugestions?

If you are using a microphone, try every position you can to get the best quality. It helps a lot. Of course, a set of drum mics will always be the best.

I have about 3 drum mics

Oh. Well then it should be no problem.

Ill start a mass upload of all of JoZ's bass lines. Two have no drums to them (Jerk off and Cold And Ugly). Watch this space

Including:

Disposition teaser
Ænema
Cold And Ugly
Eulogy
Jerk Off
Part Of Me
Sober
Stinkfist

Shouldn't we leave this thing open, setting up line-ups is a bit wierd...

We know JoZ is doing bass, ken is doing drums, and whoever does vox is doing them...

If we can get those 3 laid down, guitarists can just lay their part down over the top. I can play all of the songs, it's just getting the tone and time to sit down and work at something. (exams are over in a week :D)

NP : JoZ's demo, <3 bass fill in wait for me :D

Thats the only track that didnt upload properly for me :(
(hopes JoZ will upload again)

I still say if you want to do any tool track, record it, throw it up on here, and ill see what I can do with it. Ill take any guitar tracks at this stage. (and if you want to mix them yourself, then at least upload the guitar track so I can start fiddling)

I think for us Brits anyway, this will be on hiatus for a few weeks, what with exams for some, and DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL for others

I have been on hiatus for months, my revision started early this year...

/no life

When people are recording are they changing their tone? Like from clean flange + delay to distortion etc? 'Cause my FX pedal is so sh!t i can only really play with one tone...Unless i record clean and you can jazz up my part with effects ben? Is that what you mean by mixing? Or just putting the parts together :confused:

I mean by putting together bass, guitar and drums, levelling out the sound so they all compliment, layering sections that are needed, cleaning up any fuzz, sorting out correct panning, and other tweaks.

However, I might be able to add some effects, but its something i've not done before. You could ask Jake, as he uses Audacity effects a bit with his tone, so he might offer some advice.

And while exams are the subject, I wish you and any other exam takers the best of luck (thank god im past all them now)

how do apc look live, when they play songs from emotive other then passive.. the guitar can hardly be heard and other instruments are used

They dont play eMOTIVE live. They never toured for it, and I dont think there will be any plans to. Thankfully.

how about other un-heavy songs

Well the only 'un-heavy' song that they play live is The Noose (im assuming thats what you're getting at). And for that, MJK takes up a guitar, and sometimes James has a Keyboard set up for the intro. And its hit or miss whether its a masterpiece, or a noisy failure.

Apart from that, I dont think there are any other songs that require more than the 2 guitars, bass, drums and vox combo.

Am i the only one that actually likes eMOTIVE :( I was dissapointed, but i still can listen to the album, there are some great moments there.

I really need to find a patch site for my pedal, then i should be sorted i think....everythings just waaaay to trebly atm.

Cheers for the good luck, i need it :(

...and good luck to anyone else with exams :)

wierd.. i prefer 13th steps.. it has this deep feeling..
go back to sleep

im actually a huge fan of emotive. As far as hearing them live, when i saw them last year, it was the BEST concert ive been to.


/never seen tool live :(

nah noose aint heavy, pet and judith are the heaviest i heard
what genre is apc anyway.

the hollow is pretty hard

gimmie gimmie offa their cover album is too

Apc - Art rock...prog rock...something along those lines

I don't like eMOTIVE better than mer de noms or thirteenth step, but i just think it's too heavily critiscised at times.

yea i agree. its not my favorite, but i would say i listen to more songs on that album than the other 2. i have like 6 songs on that albums i listen to as opposed to like 3-5 on the other 2. For the aMotion Cd = waste. I love the DVD though

I definetely agree. I've seen some horrible comments about eMOTIVE. But, to be honest, I love that album. I mean yeah Thirteenth Step and Mer De Noms are better in my opinion but eMOTIVE is definetely a great piece of work.

I like aMOTION more than eMOTIVE. Paz's reworking of THe Hollow is great.

eh, i could listen to it. Im a BIG fan of the studio version, and I believe all the remakes are just worse. At least on the COVER Cd, it could be argued that they are better than the original

/not got aMOTION :(

am i missing out?

I hated eMOTIVE.

[QUOTE=clearvision]/not got aMOTION :(

am i missing out?[/QUOTE]

DVD is awesome, videos and some rare MJK insight into his lyrics. THe CD has some moments, but is still pretty poor. Paz's reworking though like i said, is great.

id say CD, no big deal, DVD, good stuff :thumb:

Right now I'm wishing I had aMOTION :upset:

i can try to upload it, but yousendit has been giving me problems. Let me take care of this call first

heres track one if anyone wants it. That fukker left so......

Loving that song Kurrpt...

bit like counting bodies...

the song pet was better than counting bodies like sheep, even though maynard said its supposed to be a sequel.........sequels are never as good.

you wanna another...hold on

sending...

Well he put the nail in its coffin when he compared it to Pink floyds varying versions of Another Brick In The Wall.

I've seen APC live twice and at both shows I was blown away. "The Noose" was beautiful and so was "3Libras". But of course, a fan favorite is always "Judith". They put on a great show. I saw them at the halloween show back in 03 where Maynard was dressed as "Shakes the Clown". I've also seen Tool live and though I'd pick Tool over APC, I must say that even their show didn't top the APC halloween performance.

As for eMOTIVE and aMOTION, I personally prefer eMOTIVE. I actually like the album very much. I don't listen to it as often as I listen to Mer de Noms or 13th Step but I don't think it's that bad of an album. I think it's one of those albums that you can't get into on the first listen, though. I had to spin it a few times to finally say "oh, I like that song" or "that's a pretty good song". Anyway, aMOTION was alright. I can probably count the number of times I've heard it on one hand. But yes, I agree that the dvd has some interesting stuff in there. The extra backstage footage is quite funny.

somebody in the drum forum posted something about a competion between threads(he was from led zepplin's thread) is the tool thread doing something like this. i havent been here in a day and you guys already have like 6 pages inbetween so im guessing you already made the band if you are doing this.
