@DIY, starting as soon as possible != rushing the whole thing. veggie and fg123 are pretty right on this and we've already discussed it. Let's take our time. (EDIT: Oh, exactly what you said. Just noticed, nvm)

Parents are out again, so I'll try to quickly record Gone on bass. Talking about that, do you need the bass tracks for My Voice to You and When I'm Beside You, or should we just use the tracks we already have (i.e. you won't mix those two again)?

I know. That's what I said. I will do bass for Reload meanwhile and the other Reload tracks. We are redoing the first two songs, right? Then I propose we start afresh. I'll try recording those bass tracks then too. Are we using a different vocalist for those two?

Well, we should actually hire a vocalist before redoing them. I suggest we use the same tracks on most, if not all instruments, and you mix everything again.

We should start some vocalist auditions, don't ya think? I'll see if designer45 can give me the FC Scratch account.

@jslomba, the idea is posting all songs as a EP, not one at a time.

Okay, so what are we recording next? Gone?

Yep.

Btw DIY, your revamped Reload sounds good :3 The chorus could use better drums, maybe jslomba can improvise something when recording it. The organ solo is a nice idea, hopefully it sounds better when recorded though, lol. I like the distorted guitar arpeggios, will you record those?

EDIT: Uploading 3 bass takes of Gone right now.

EDIT2: Done! Take 3 is the best one imo, but I'll let DIY decide.

I kinda started yet another noteflight song.

I like the cello part. Are you going to add vocals?

Also (slightly off-topic), I heard the album is going to be 5 songs. What's the fifth song (besides LSJ, Gone, My Voice To You, and When I'm Beside You)?

Thanks  . I might add vocals later.

Either Reload or Flashback, I think.

Let's stick to Reload for the time being as it's part of the original line-up. Like you suggested earlier, we can add Flashback to the second album we do. 

Techno, I'd also go with Take 3 of the bass.    What d'ya say we do the bass tracks for our respective songs (i.e. I do bass for Reload as I can get an amazing sound from the Hofner) in this album, since you've recorded it already?

I'll try and improve Reload in some parts like you suggested. Glad you liked it!

Techno, I mixed Lazy Sunday Jam once again with the redone keyboards after a lot of hard work. It sounds WAY better than before! 

Hope you like it!

Sounds awesome 

I kind of like the improvisation on the 2nd verse.

Oops, sorry, I over-looked this question. Yup, I will record it. I love that bit!

May I post a cover version of Gone that I made in the MAC forum?

(I did the vocals, and the accompaniment is synthesized. I have to ask for permission before posting a cover, because Noteflight score of Gone, which I used to make the accompaniment, is set as Copyright.)

Sure

Thanks! Here's the cover.

I'm not so sure about that. You'll have to ask techno since he's the guy who wrote it. I'm not sure he wants others covering our songs before they are released. After, maybe.

I really love the keyboard on this! The drums sound really clipped though. Like, extremely intensely just so clipped that I can barely listen 

I know. I love the keyboard too. We'll have to ask jslomba about the drums though.

Arighty. I hope this can be worked out. 

Hey techno, now that I've redone LSJ with better piano tracks, it sounds way more polished as you may have noticed. However, the raw signal of the guitar "is unprocessed and sounds annoyingly pointy and trebly" as you mentioned earlier. I tried downloading the tube preamp sim and impulse based cab sim from Poulin LeCab after your advice, but for some reason, the .dll file in the zip folder appears corrupted with a bunch of weird symbols and characters.

Hence, when you have the time, it'll be useful if you could pass the LSJ track through your VSTs and upload the "clean" version on SoundCloud. Do you think you could do that for me? Also, I stated this previously, but are you all right with me recording the bass tracks for Reload, and you for Gone?

If we are redoing the vocals for My Voice To You and WIBY, we need a vocalist. There have been a few who signed up for the post a few days ago, so I guess we'll have to choose from that lot. I'm fine with taking up vocals though if we do not find anyone of sufficient skill. In my opinion, if you still have the master track with all the instruments (excluding vocals) for the two songs, we should use that and overdub the new singer's vocals. It'll make it much easier for me and besides, your mixing sounds pretty good on those.

I'm fine with that and I said so on his thread. Good point about covering it before it's released, but I'll let this be an exception.    It's not like we're really secretive about it anyway, anyone can read this thread and we know that.

The new LSJ mix sounds good except for the bass being a little too loud, though it might be the cheapo headphones I'm using.

I'll give you the guitar tracks through my VSTs in a while.

The bass values are the same as before. That's strange, but I'd say it is your headphones. 

I was aware of that fact when I made the point about a cover of Gone been released before our version. I still think that we tell zippynk to upload the cover after our one. Just giving my two cents as manager.
