its up to you. Maybe get a midi of it or cut out a part of the real song, then record over it. I'm trying to record a sample of the guitar track for myself. Everyones welcome to record samples for now.

Cain, i'm up for the moor, i can play the whole peice on guitar as well, i struggle a little with the finger picking after 7 minutes, but the rest i can do fairly well. The drums for this song aren't hard at all, I may be able to con our drummer into recording a track if you want. Not sure about bass. As for vocals, i can do clean vocals and maybe the growled vocals if you want. I'm definatly up for a song off Still Life or MAYH.

Sorry to barge in, but I just ordered my ticket to see Opeth in september \m/

Assist Me, Don't Redirect Me!
 

Hey, yeah im always here in the Opeth thread looking at the posts awaiting the new album but never really post these days. No time. So....

Ok so ive seen you guys talking about recording on the computer and i got REALLY interested. You see the way i always did it was to plug my mic in and hang it in front of the amp. Then record. But this only works well for acoustic pieces which i have recorded a few pieces of ( some inspired by OPETH themselves!)!

But, ive stopped recently cause what i really wanna do is to plug my guitar in DIRECTLY into the soundcard and record like that. I bought one of those adapters you get for your lead to make it fit the soundcard but I still dont know what to do!? I have a Soundblaster Live

I have a Epiphone Black Beauty, a Boss ME-50 and lots of leads and adapters.

Now, can someone PLEASE help me get my **** together. Id really like to start getting some of my own compositions on my computer. I currently use Sony SoundForge, but i dont know if this is the best option?

Your assistance would be great. Opeth for life.

Thank you for your time.

^^ The answer to this mans question I would value as well

Hi I'm new here and I'm a real Opeth fan (Note Avatar) I have 3 of their albums; Orchid, Blackwater Park and Morningrise. I'm hoping to get the others soon. I might go see them at the Sounds of the Underground Tour but i'm not sure.

So what are you guys doing, recording a cover of an Opeth song or somthing?

Yep. Its for a competition here. All the official threads are doing it, so we joined in (peer pressure ++). If you can play anything, let us know.

I'll play both The Moor and Drapery on bass then.

I can play the guitar for a few Opeth songs but I have no way to record at the moment. :upset:

Bah. Well, you can be a cheerleader if you want.

Yeah I'm seeing them at the Academy 2, about 500 people, which is tiny really.

Although I do like the smaller venues, but I thought Opeth would be deserving of a bigger venue than that.

Might get scaled up if there is enough interest.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Alright, should I like... have the song playing in the backaround or something? Because growls sound bad without anything behind them IMO. But whatever you want.[/QUOTE]

If you want to growl over the verse part(at about 5:00 into the song) of the drapery falls I'll be glad to record a guitar track for you to sing over

That would be great man. I just went through both the growled verses and I kinda burned my throat for the night, but I think I did pretty good. Tomorrow I'll get you guys a decent sample.

Here you go! Guitar part for the verse in the drapery falls :
[url]http://s35.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0XNYSUTO6HF8L3JL1LME2VI3UK[/url] It was sort of a first take, so it might be a little sloppy

Great man, thanks.


If this is asking to much then ignore it, but can you do the next verse to? (the one with growls at like 7 min in)

Ehehehe that's not too much to ask at all, since I already did!.. Here it is: [url]http://s27.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0ZLZIMM2Y2SIZ2NI3S7NI53G41[/url] the guitar for both growled parts, plus the chaos inbetween of them

Awesome, downloading now.

Garageband + POD XT = all the recording capability you could possibly need. It's what I use and it sounds ****in' great.

EDIT: For Grey Incision

The fingerpicking is my forte, I love doing that. I also have appropriate capabilities on my recording program for the ambient, reverbed leads and for some of the rhythm, but I can't handle all of the many parts in the song. If I could do clean vox and you do growls, that would rock.

The first scream is a nasty challenge though. And you'd have to record two tracks. :)

EDIT 2: I have no way of knowing if I'll actually do this or participate...I would like more people to chime in first, if you understand. :)

If more than one person want to do growls on a track, I think it could sound good if they all did a recording of it, and we mixed them ontop of each other.. Anyone ever tried this before? With proper mixing I think it could sound really good

I could do growls, if it's not illegal to do two Official covers because I'm singing in the Tool one. Anyway death growls are pretty easy for me to do for long periods of time and I've been told it sounds good. I'll upload a preview of what it sounds like once my family gets out of the house.

Where are the rules posted??

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Bah. Well, you can be a cheerleader if you want.[/QUOTE]

What the hell, why not. Go Opeth thread go.

^Nice work man. :D


I'll be able to get you my little growling sample by Monday. Parents aren't leaving the house really tell then.

I'm not much for growling, but I could give you all a sample of my screaming tommorrow when my family is at church.

Is "Closure" supposed to just randomly stop at about 5:15? Or is my copy of it messed up?

No that is how the song was written...cheers to the person who started this thread, about time!!!

About time? This thread is like a year old! :lol:

sorry mate i havnt been on mx for about 6 months so im lacking in the general knowledge department!
