Outpost CD

Whatever you can give really.

Just keep in mind that some music hosting sites have stronger copyright rules than others. So depending where it gets hosted a cover song may get dropped off of the list.

I do not recall getting an e-mail - have I missed the boat again?

Well, my laptop is down again. I have the link loaded, but I can't get to any of my files or the link until I get my laptop back. Hopefully, I'll be back in action early next week.

No problems Gary, I'm in a similar boat myself atm.

Hey! I'm back in business. Just uploaded "Flat Tire in Elko" for the CD. Band is kelp. I recorded it with the Embassy, and we ran a DI, along with a mic on my Eden WT-400 going through a JBL 15" cab.

We'll only have the backing vox down on our recording by end of Jan 2011.

Thanks for the update guys, I've managed to get my son moved into my office after moving everything out and doing a full reno and paint job on it. Now I just have to find the time to do the same thing to his old room so I can move my office into that smaller room.

Until then i'm stuck with limited computer access.

We're now in the mixing stage, two tracks with backing vocals finished. One of them, "Unity" is probably the more interesting one for bass players as it features two separately recorded bass tracks. Panned to the left you hear a 64 TB II Rev with D'Addario Chromes, panned to the right a fretless medium scale Gibson Super 400 one-off Phil Jones created Custom Shop acoustic bass guitar with a piezo bridge (passive, not active) and the E string tuned to D. Not sure whether we will keep that for most of the song very extreme TB left/Super 400 right panning for the endmix. But the Super 400 emulates a doublebass quite nicely, just listen to the three sliding notes at the end of the song.

Access at www.zentralstudio.de, kundenlogin: raintunes, user name: raintunes and project name: plainingjet.

I listen to this stuff (and Summer's Gone is largely written by me and the singer, so there is no one else to blame) and wonder: "Uwe Hornung, you used to be a fearsome Heavy Metal player with a New Wave edge to your playing, what has become of you?"

This is probably the "poppiest" music I have ever made. That vocal intro (initially a backing vocal elevated to intro status by our producer who liked what he heard) sounds so AOR/Middle of the Road, even, yes, cheesy, it wouldn't be out of place on a Blackmore's Night album!!!

Who spots the In-a-gadda-da-vida riff I play for a few seconds at one point?

My bandmates were dumbfounded, but then they didn't even know who Iron Butterfly was. Ah yes, the generational gap ... I expect you guys to do much better!!!!

zappa bassist scott thunes did that iron butterfly riff on some live recordings back in the seventies. he also would insert the riff from "sunshine of your love" at odd intervals.

I never did get an invitation to drop music in the preferred site....

uwe · January 20, 2011, 08:52:14 AM

Which site is that?

Dave W · January 20, 2011, 08:59:17 AM

The site is Dropbox, but you have to have an invite to the specific folder.

Highlander · January 20, 2011, 11:35:15 AM

Bret's on a break at the moment...

Dropbox is a simple to use and literally like its name; Pekka introduced me to it when he was kind enough to supply me with some rather nice files...

Guys, I'm back today. BUT! I've come back from holidays a day early to deal with the details of a business that I'm very close to buying.....maybe. I'm going to be tied up with this over the next week or so. Al, I checked the status of the invites, yours and a bunch of others are currently stated as "Still awaiting reply". I have "re-invited" all on that list.
