I know what you mean about toms in Bridge. I had a few different takes, but others were more out of time. Just wanted to get something up so I have a starting point. I'll keep listening to it while at work, and that usually helps me figure out what works and what does'nt, and what sucks.LOL. I have a few more ideas for entry into the chorus part. I'm going to do a few more recordings yet. I'd like to get this one sounding really good.

Hey Shattered,

I think it is a good start but I agree that it can use a bit of refinement. I think the trick with this one, is keep it simple and keep it consistent. For the Bridge (A New Beginning…), I am using some dissident chords to create tension. You maybe could mimic this a bit with a build up on the toms.

Justice,

Any thoughts?

shattered image has uploaded a new Mix with the label Drum demo 1.
File Description:Basic idea for drums. I'll do a few more recordings and get it more refined, but this is the basic pattern and feel I am thinking of. Did'nt eq drums much so still a bit raw.

Dude - I jacked my shoulder up late last week. I had a trip to the ER on Sat. I haven't been able to type until today. I love this rendition of the song. If you upload just the instrumentals, I'll see what I can do with the vocals on the 16th when I get back from CO. I love the use of your daughters toy for the percussion.

You know I still have 1/2 the song done with an alternative version using the 1st set of guitars. Hope you are well...

sharkboy has uploaded a new Mix with the label A New Begining Vocal Ideas.
File Description:

Here is mt latest arrangment of A new begining. The Tempo is 95.

I have two guitar tracks one rythem one lead. I have two vocal tracks and I have added a bit of percussion using my daughters toys.

The solo in the begining sucks ass and I will redo it.

I look forward to anything you want to do, I'll retrack the vox. It looks like we've had an offer to track drums, man I love collabing on the internet!

sharkboy has uploaded a new Document with the label Refined Lyrics.
File Description:I have revisited the lyric based on the original melodies. I have a new arrangement for the guitar parts. I will rerecord the whole think from scratch soon.

It would be great if you can add an intro to this. I'm ready to track some emotional vox and lose my voice. You should hear the last take, good thing I got a phone call and had to stop. Are there any reported cases of singing yourself to death?

12/10/2007 5:28:15 AM

It's getting there. I think the change in the lyrics are a big improvement. I think we may need to add an intro guitar part. It seems awkward the way the vocals just jump in on the first bar. That gave me allot of trouble when I tried to record the vocal.

When you are in your groove your voice sounds real cool

I like the way this turned out. I probably should have lowered my voice in the mix but the chorus sounds good. Let me know what you think. I did a quick mix so I could get this posted. Hope you're having a good weekend.

Post the lyrics that you wrote. We can have a vote to see which version sounds best.

11/28/2007 9:30:49 PM

Thnaks for the second take, I really like this version. I still have to get the other lyrics out of my head that I wrote a few weeks ago. My Alesis io14 firewire box should be here on Friday, I'm excited to finally have a decent box to record with. As soon as I get a chance this weekend, I intend to track the VOX. Thanks again for all the help! You'll be the first to hear the end product.

sharkboy has uploaded a new Mix with the label Sharkboy Sample Vocal Take 2.
File Description:

I spent a little more time today and refined the sample vocal. My singing is still horrible but it is much better then the last one.

I also tested out some harmony ideas. The best sounding ones start a minor third above for the chorus. I did not include it in this track because I could not pull it off.

sharkboy has uploaded a new Mix with the label Sharkboy Sample Vocal.
File Description:This is a sample of how I think the vocals could work. Sorry about the bad singing. I am sure you can do a better job.

Sharkboy, I have taken what you started with and refined it a bit:

Over Maj7/5 part]

As I stair into this Ocean
to see who I am
the wieght of my emotion
force me to the sand

can I make a differance
with this life so small
do I know who I am
do I matter after all

[Over Bm Part]
its so hard to see with your eyes half closed
the waves wash over me my soul is exposed
this I promise you from my deepest heart
I'll never let you go or let life tear us apart

F#
please have mercy
Lord have mercy
on me

As I search for answers
I sometimes fall down and pray
For the Lord give me the streanth
just to live through today

life can churn and
throw you face down
my sences fail me
my ears they hear no sound

until you saved me
I thought I'd drift to sea
A new beginning
your love helped my soul find me

11/15/2007 10:39:59 AM

I started messing around with your lyric s that they can better fit the melody I am hearing.

Here is what I have so far:

[Over Maj7/5 part]

As I stair into this Ocean
to see who I am
the wieght of my emotion
force me to the sand

can I make a bigger differance
with this life so small
do I know who I am
do I matter after all

As I search for answers
I sometimes fall down and pray
For the Lord give me the streanth
just to live through today

[Over Bm Part]
its so hard to see with your eyes half closed
the waves wash over me my soul is exposed
this I promise you from my deepest heart
I'll never let you go or let life tear us apart

Let me know if it passes the "Maria Test". I'm ready to work on the song, I look forward to your melodic suggestion. I've been spending every second trying to get my firewire box working, tomorrow I hope to try several other recording interfaces at Guitar Center. If you have a flyer for this site that you can put together tonight, I'll print it out in the morning. I would suggest using pull tabs with the site URL. My local store is pretty high traffic. I can post something 8.5x11.

Thanks for your help on this project. As soon as I get my new interface, I'll go gangbusters and pump out some new tunes.

11/13/2007 8:55:00 AM

I have some vocal melodies that I have been playing with but have no clue what to do for the lyrics. I love the song title "A New Beginning". I think it fit the music well even as an instrumental.

If I have time tonight I will post what I was thinking for a vocal melody. I was testing these out on my daughters last night. Maria is a great critic. If I play something she likes, I get all smiles, if I play something she doesn't like she cries. You can't get more honest then that!
