Scratch

OK, I'm also sick and I have a very bad cough and sore throat... 

My parents want me to stay away from the computer because of my cough, so I'm getting on here while they're not looking.

So, the redone piano for Gone and the piano for Reload will have to wait a while.

We haven't decided on that yet DIY... Though yes, lundfamily will definitely sing the first two.

Really? I thought hpotter134, you and I all agreed upon bass voices and harmonies for Gone and Reload. 

DIY, one of the cool things about making music, is that it's really flexible. You can throw in bits and pieces, take out bits and pieces, and experiment. So nothing is set in stone until the song is actually released, and even then you can change stuff if you want. So anything that's been "agreed upon" is easily subject to change. Just keep that in mind.

I'm currently swamped with schoolwork, but I have next week off of school. If I don't find time this week, I'll definitely be able to record next week.

I've been looking back at some of my old noteflight junk, and found a song that we were considering a while back...and it's been stuck in my head    Now that we have a real pianist, do you want to try and record it (after Gone and Reload and stuff)? It seems to fit with the style of our first couple songs...I think it would be nice as another cover.

I understand, but I just thought it would suit male voices. I was merely suggesting your idea of rotating the singing between the three of us.

Hope to see your recordings latest by next week. 

EDIT: And you may want to change the permissions of that score so that we can actually view it.

Last online activity I can find elsewhere: 23 days ago on Soundcloud

Last online activity I can find on this topic: Approx 1 week ago

OK. Not what I wanted. He should come back soon, I would think. I need his drum tracks.

nice mix diy! the only thing that's weird with it is the organ sounds kind of off because it has no natural reverb

Fine 

But question, there can be male and female (not at the same time). You can put veggy up as the male vocalist. Also, sometime you should do a duet!!!!!!!!!! Those are fun...

(Also, recording right now, i am sick (Moms says i am, i don't feel sick...) so i am staying home from Church!)

Yeah, that's what I was saying. We don't have a song that would suit a duet, although I have tonnes of tunes with me which I can easily adapt into duets. Like I've mentioned in the post prior to this, techno, hpotter and I can rotate the male singing.

Will your voice be OK enough to record now like you said?    I mean, you are sick, right? 

Lol, today my nose is a bit stuffy, but I sound just fine.

Thanks. The organ was played as a sus. pipe organ really, so there is a hint of reverb. I can increase the reverb in the mix if the members of the band and I agree. With vocals, it should sound great.

alright, cool
the organ just sounds kind of uh
muffled

I think the "rounded" and "breathy" timbre of an organ doesn't really suit the style and theme of this piece. The piano is a bit more "brighter" and has more sharper tone, IMO.

Also, the organ does have very little reverb, and it sounds dry and choppy. 

That's sort of what I was saying on the Soundcloud page, piano sounds "brighter".

@ jslomba: I know, I know, geez... I just need your parts recorded quickly so I can start mixing Gone and Reload.

@ All: I just listened to the Noteflight score of WIBY and again, it sounded very much like the piano I did. That was my aim, to match the sound. If it sounds good on that, this should sound good, I would think. Also, My Voice to You is almost mixed! 

Fellow band members, I need your take on this.

@ a1130: A sus. pipe organ is in many ways similar to a piano on sus. pedal. The only reason I didn't play it on piano was because this sounded much better this way (you won't believe the difference you get on keys!  ). I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't good. Plus, the previous piano track was indeed hard to mix.


@ jji7skyline: Thanks for the offer, but I already have Garageband, but I should be able to add reverb if needed in Reaper, which is like adding cherry to the top of a cake really! 

Your offer is appreciated!

True, true. Now you see the picture. 

It is nice this way. With the piano, it just sounded... odd...

Ok, guys, my stupid audio program isn't working... It is Audicy, know any good ones?

Err... It's Audacity...

I'd suggest something professional like FL Studio, but since you aren't maybe too serious about music, I'd suggest a free software. You could also try Reaper. Why do you need an audio program?

Audacity works really well for recording. Besides an audio program, what else would she use?
