Inspired from tanto's idea. But also do a Tool covering thing; drums then someone on guitar, then someone else on bass, etc. Im going into the studio and I have the chance to do it for free, so I could record a drum track for schism. If anyone's interested in doing this?

i could play bass if you really need it, but i'm sure there are people who can play it better than me, i don't really play tool songs much anymore.

ok cool. Im not sure what song I should record on drums. Any suggestions? I can play intolerance, sober, crawl away, part of me, undertow, stinkfist, H. and schism pretty right on.

well, because you mentioned schism, i thought i'd record me playing a little bit of schism. I haven't played this song in a while, so i'm a little rusty.

I recorded this with a bass with passive pickups, so the triplet figures arn't defined at all, but i have a sweet new bass in the mail on it's way with active pickups, so that won't be an issue once i get that bass.

My EQ settings arn't perfectly matches to Justins, so my bass doesn't sound quite like his, but it's close enough. And also, this recording isn't reflective of a final recording that i'm capable of producing. This is just DI-ing my amp straight to my computer, and you'll notice it sort of farts a little on the low end, if i was recording a final copy, i'd go through a mixer that was designed for that sort of signal. So the low end would be much more defined. Anway...

Direct Download Link

you can either stream or download it. Oh, and nevermind the title of the song and all that, i forgot to clear that out when i saved the new .mp3.

cool cool. Yeah I can give you a crappy recording (one comp mic for the drums) probebly by thursday night, just because I have nothing better here, but my friend is helping me get free studio time. So I can lay it down there, for real.

Any takers for guitar or vocals??

hm..I want to finish one song, then maybe people will be more willing to try.

Is anyone interested in bass or guitar or vocals for 46&2 as well? I played the solo break right for the first time yesterday, and by the time i get to the studio I should have it down.

ok I'd have to practice a whole friggin lot to play lateralus. Not saying that I wont, but thats pretty hard.

i'm down for 46&2, i know like half of it. Just give me a song to learn and I can learn it.

I can play almost all of schism, I know all of undertow and opiate, I know about half of aenima and like 3 songs off of lateralus, anyways i play guitar, i have line 6 i just hook it up to my comp, i think it sounds pretty good, there is a metal setting and its somewhat close to adams tone and sound, plus i have all the free time in the world, i'll do the guitar part.....

if InnerCombustion could do the 46&2 drum solo, then we should definitly do 46&2, if not, then schism it is.

As the first song sure. Hopefully once we get a song or two done, maybe others will be interested in doing other songs

okay, so it is going to be 46&2? sounds good... i'll learn the whole thing shortly

anyone wanna try for vocals?

ok kids..here it is..Pat doing the drum break in 46 & 2..in all its terrible mono quality, I present it to you (right click save target as, its the first one up on the page) : http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/pjm/audio.html



**I would like to add that I did this on a 4 piece set, so i dont have the full tom range that dc does at the location i recorded this at, but when I get into the studio with my full kit, I'll have 4 toms to work with, instead of 2

beautiful... 46&2 on bass is a little more difficult than I thought... but don't worry, I work out some of the weird parts.

alright cool tell me when u gettin that down

yeah I skipped a little before the tripplets but I do it right normally

oh, and if you get a chance, try and record the whole drum part for 46&2, so, when i'm able to record the bass, I'll have something to help me record to, so that I'm on the right time as you, and such

[edit:
Update: I've basically got the whole song down, just a few timing issues on two riffs.... but other than that, i'm good]

ok but do you want me to record it with ok quality or wait to see if i can get into that studio? they're doing renovations, but I can get decent quality with my own stuff

hmm... i guess wait until you can record in the studio, because there's no use for us both making alright recordings, and then making better ones. So, I'll just keep practicing, and wait for the good recording, and then using that and tool's version, I'll do a good recording of bass, and then we'll have to get a guitarist and singer

yeah Im sure more people will get interested once this gets rolling in reality

I'd like to give a shot at vocals, but uh, I dont have ANYTHING to record with at all.

mm...tell me if you get an opportunity


Shade grab guitar for 46&2 if you want

after 46&2, we should do something from undertow, because songs from that album are really fun to play... flood would be cool.

46and2 sounds so good on guitar!

i suppose we can make like the demo version of this first, cause if i do this drum track at my house, or in the studio, the time of it will still be the same, only the quality different. So then I can just put the new better drum track in place of the old one. I wanted (if you remember the cd Tribute to Tool) to make the TDN Tribute to Tool. So when I get back up state I'll lay this down for you guys.

i can play schism on guitar fairly well, i don't play along with the track much so my timing is fucked but I "can" play along with the track (give or take a day of me deciding to practice it)

the little hammer on shit in the solo still trips me up is about the only thing I can't quite do right, and then, the break down before the PMs at the end, the tab doesn't seem right to me.

there are probably way better guitarists than me though....

who cares? ur freakin holyreality

you have the stuff to be able to record it?

yeah, well we definitly need the drum track layed down first, so just do a high or low quality as soon as you can, so we can get things going.

will do asap. This will be done, with as best quality as I can by sat, uploaded for guitarist and bass download. But to be official, Whos singing up for bass and whos signin up for guitar? I think Eric's doin bass right? Shade ?

as for song after 46&2, lets vote on an undertow song, eh?
Intolerance
Prison Sex
Sober
Bottom
Crawl Away
Swamp Song
Undertow
Flood
..no disgustipated..ok maybe later.

And yes I know you all know that tracks, but having it there, you may pick one song that you didnt think about..anyway see you saturday

yeah, i'm doing bass, and i vote Flood.

I just have a question. If you get free studio time, why waste it recording covers?

*scratches head*

why NOT waste it recording covers. Problem is they keep backing the date up, so I still havent gotten in. There for, I will try, with my best effort, to record a somewhat decent quality recording this friday.
I vote Flood

*shrugs*

i don't know any undertow songs, they are challenging, like prison sex, weirdest fucking rhtyhmn i've ever heard as far as the begginning goes......

i can record a shitty quality schism though.

okay this is a general idea, a rough draft sort of, there are fuckups, i wasn't playing along with the song... the tone is fuzzy and such.

I can polish it a little bit tonewise.... I'm not sure why it sounds so fuzzy, need new strings maybe, maybe I should mic it rather than direct in..... I can definitely play along to the song and get a solid track down, though it might take me a few takes..... it's not going to sound a ton better than this though.

(copy and paste)

so i know people can do it better and get a better tone than me, but this is just a very general estimate....

as said, I can play along with the track, so there wouldn't be timing errors if I were going to contribute for real.

if no ones grabbin vocals, I'll volunteer, but I was goin for a dif person for each part, but we'll see.

I've got basses for D'Amor stuff, if you need the harmonics. Never knew this thread existed.

alright cool man. maybe you wanna hook up and we could do Opiate or somethin?
