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.)

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...

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

you recording vocals too?

[QUOTE=Che Guevara]so theres nothing that could possibly do both?[/QUOTE]


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

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

:thumb: Same here.

When do you plan on recording, Art?

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

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


the third chorus that is.

**** 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.

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:

I wouldn't stress on it [i]too[/i] 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. [size=1]I do it all the time.[/size]

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. :-/

im gonna post it tommorow :upset: sorry

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 Bitc[B][I][/I][/B]hes. :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?

marshprobe is my aim

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: [url]http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0RSZ6U5ED6EH3VIFHISRRKC02[/url]

: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?

[QUOTE=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:[/QUOTE]
Same here. I'm still going to do it though.

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

Sure.

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.

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

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.

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:

[QUOTE=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:[/QUOTE]
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.

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.

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

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'.
