Lateralus 2?

All individual tracks should be uploaded seperate from the mixed track and put in this thread anyway.

Im not sure who's guitar it is on lateralus, but it sounds pretty done to me. Mixing needs sorting (see point 1), but its played from start to finish

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Mastodon don't down tune. They do a wierd type of drop tuning. Instead of it being drop D, they drop the 6 string to A to make an octave powerchord. At least that's what I've seen on some tabs and such..[/QUOTE]

Yeah I know. I play the D and A string, as apposed to the thick E. But the sound is too, not-heavy-really. (substitute word in).

They drop a step and like you said, put the E to an A. Works well

Chris' track isn't quite finished. He wants to redo the pinch harmonics at the end, and the last few chords aren't in the correct place. Oh, 3074326 did the geetarizing, Ben.

I'm listening to the remix's of only on a NIN site...they actually own... chekc out the second one down, somethign about spooky.

Cool, im kinda glad its not done, the drums are a bit too dominant in some places. Did Chris mix it himself?

He didn't really mix it, he just kind of...put them together? He didn't do anything to the tracks, if that's what you're asking.

Ah, gotcha.

(the lazy option then)


And as for NIN, im let down by Fincher's video for Only. True, its cool and shows off his full amazingness of post production. But its just not really, interesting

Does anyone have or know where I can find a backing track for schism?

Hey speaking of remixes and such, does anyone have the lounge versions for either Hooker or Third Eye? I wouldn't think so, but hey it's worth a try..:shrug:

[QUOTE=centrum]Does anyone have or know where I can find a backing track for schism?[/QUOTE]

Fraid not, its one of the few that we dont have anything for. You could try searching out a powertab file and muting the guitar. or jsut play along with the track.

Hmm i loved it, there is a point where trent pushes the glass of the pin thing, and it's just great....some of the shots are sloppy as sh!t though.

To me the song is about trent getting delirious, the vid doesn't really show that, which is kind of annoying....but it's pretty MTV friendly, which might be what trent wanted, however hypocrytical that may be.

Yeah, thats what bugged me. His work in the past has been dark and (dare i say it) grungy. (look at Se7en, Fight CLub and Judith video for some really dark looking sets.). This just seems too friendly.

But it still looks great, but just not a lot to it.

And jake, i've not seen any links or sites where those are availble, so cant help you. Im interested in hearing them too, but its not urgent

How do you mute the guitar in powertab? You guys should work on a cover of Schism.

[QUOTE=centrum]How do you mute the guitar in powertab? You guys should work on a cover of Schism.[/QUOTE]

Remove the guitar from the tab

Guitar > Guitar In, make sure its not ticked at the start of the score.

Do that with any guitar in the score, there's usually more than 1.

Heh, this is really funny. I was recording and all of the sudden this thing said that Audacity needed to shut down and I had gotten everything timewise fixed and the second verse recorded so I got really mad. Well I threw the mic on the ground and now I can't find it.


EDIT: Ok, found it. Whew....

Can you use powertab to make your own tab?

audicity saves everything even if you loose electricity or anything.Very smart thing to add to it

It didn't save what I had.

I got Cool Edit Pro loaded on my new HP Notebook ( :D ) so Lateralus should be done soon. I'm thinking about just re-doing it. It won't really take me that long to re-do.

It needed a few improvements anyways. ;)

[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]It didn't save what I had.[/QUOTE]
audacity does for you temporarily if you are working on it, but if you close and dont save it then eyr screwed

Okay, I got done with the second chorus, so here's my ****.

Please critique with anything you want to say. Whether you like my vocals or not I'll take what you say into consideration.

The double tracking annoyed me in the verse, I'm sorry :(

Your voice sounds very good pitchwise, it just lacks the aggression the song needs. Try to really push through and project your voice, in the chorus you sort of mumble. You may also need ot open your mouth a little more...

I apologise for the harshness, but that's what i picked up on, i thought you were on pitch most of the time, you just need to be clearer and more aggressive...heh you can slate me when i post tomorrow :)

Oh that wasn't harsh at all. I'll definately fix the double tracking in the verse. Also after I finish the song and do touch ups on 46 & 2 I'll probably redo the chorus in this song. Right now it's not too much of a problem. Thanks clearvision you're always my best critic anyway.

IMO opinion clearvision has said it all, but really you need to fix the agresivity

WTF!?!?!? i missed 2 days and 8 pages.... anynews on lateralus (me cant record anymore) my drumtrack seems to line up pretty darn well over here, im not sure why its off.

Hey moses.. Was it you that suggested that clearvision held his mic away from his mouth to not make it clip?.. Because if you're doing that in the chorus, that would explain why it sounds kind of distant.. I would suggest finding other ways to make it stop clipping.. Unless you like the distant sound

Yeah, it isn't, sorry for causing a needless ruckus!

I did suggest that but I'm not really holding it away.

Faith check out my vocal track up there.

Oh ok, in the chorus it just sort of sounds like that

Its missing something. You're vocals are good. They are hitting the right notes. It just seems that you aren't pushing them hard enough. Try singing louder, first of all. And possibly add a little rasp? I can't think of the right word. Just make them a little more aggressive I guess.

Well it is missing bass.....

Okay. I am going to use the whammy effect on my effects processor, and start recording bass. I want more finished crap, and hey, since I have the capabilities of doing so, why not use it? :p Granted, my tone may not sound as gold as Justin's, but hey, some bottom end is better than no bottom end.

I thought they were good enough to be used. . .just be more agressive and perhaps the double tracking on the verse was a lil weird but. . . tis was good

i might be able to start recording drums again. i recently joined a band, and the bass player has a mixer, and the program cubase. ill have to see if i can record some tracks next time im over there.

New Band = Time away from MX (why my posting has suddenly decreased) :upset:

There was a time where I was in three bands all doing different things in them (plus a girlfriend).

Takes alot of time, but now two of them fell through. So now I have a band and a girlfriend.

I wish I had a band.. Or a girlfriend.. But it seems that both things are impossible to acquire when you're living a crappy place like me

Where do you live ? I live in the ghetto of Milwaukee Wisconsin in America.

we practice 20+ hours a week. and are going to start playing at top 40 bars. we have already played the Pegasus and Brass mug. hopefully when we stop being lazy we will write some originals, cause top 40 drumming is all pretty bland.

lol am in 2 bands and posibly a thrid one. . .am working on a girlfriend :cool:
