I've done it a few times with no problems going through the line in jack.

Anyways back to the comments

Straycat and Ken

I never thought of Neil for this but now the you mention it :idea:

I think I would have to increase to solo to about 7 or 8 minutes
to really get the right feel to it. :lol:]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Celt https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/year-6-wk33-the-final-touch-mp3-added/paged/2/#post-297252 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/year-6-wk33-the-final-touch-mp3-added/paged/2/#post-297223 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:35:01 +0000
Really dig the lyrics 8)

And the tone on the 'bluesy lead'!

So, are you saying that you are running a cable from your SG into a Chorus Pedal and then into the pc's soundcard?

I've used a fuzzface as just a preamp for my old black guitar.... running that into my JVC tape deck as an amp.

What I'm wondering is.... is it safe for the pc to do what I'm thinking that you did?
Or do I have it wrong?

That might be a better option for me considering that all I have is a horrid mic and even worse amplification....
not to mention the neighbors :evil:

I rather thought of Neil Young, forgive me (it is a compliment, though) Well, going back and listening to it, if it came down to a choice between grunge and Neil Young, I'd have to say, it seems to be closer to Neil Young then grunge to me too.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group KR2 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/year-6-wk33-the-final-touch-mp3-added/#post-297212 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/year-6-wk33-the-final-touch-mp3-added/#post-297206 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:31:37 +0000 wouldn't have thought of Grunge immediately (but then you said "post grunge" :wink: ). I rather thought of Neil Young, forgive me (it is a compliment, though) :wink: oh Grunge... some beautiful music there. and love Incubus. seen them live at a festival. i can never say what kind of music bands stand for when i'm asked to describe them.. for me, Incubus is oceanside music :wink:

I think this line stood out: I've lived this lie
Too many times clever! and the way "life" still is somewhere in there, too (but that's my mind running off)... :wink:

I'm really looking forward to getting to grips with my recorder, and all the things that I'll be able to do with it (at least in theory...) once I've got the hang of keeping in time with the previous tracks. Oddly enough, I don't seem to have any trouble keeping in time in a live situation, even though we don't have a drummer, but playing alongside the tracks on the machine this week was whole new ballgame. Just a case of more practice and experience I guess - as usual. :)

http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Starcaster-0868524002-STARCASTER-CHORUS/dp/B000VOBUD6

I did three guitar tracks with my SG.

Track 1: Treble Rhythm track bridge pick up with Chorus
medium settings

Main Riff Am Chord variations and 12th fret harmonics

Track 2: Bass/Crunchy Rhythm and Lead track neck pick up
with Chorus medium high settings

Track 3: Single Note Background /Fill track bridge and neck
pick ups clean no Chorus.

Only a bit of post production tweaking
Compression,some Volume Adjustments a little EQ
Stero Mix and that little thing with the vocals.

Hope That Helps

How did you get that spacey feel, John? I've been thinking for a while that it's time I tried to figure out what the various effects options built into my recorder do. Was that a single effect, or a combination of things?

Chris]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Chris C https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/year-6-wk33-the-final-touch-mp3-added/#post-297070 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/year-6-wk33-the-final-touch-mp3-added/#post-297067 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:56:36 +0000 Was "Can we still pretend?" in the original lyrics or did you change that slightly? As you remembered it was in the original lyrics but it was all together with the rest of the bridge.
The pause developed during the recording process and I feel it works better for the line to
be separated.

I understand what you mean about it being a little confusing as originally written.
I edited the lyrics to better reflect the pause.
And yet.....you couldn't resist throwing that bluesy lead guitar in.... :D Guilty as charged :oops: I may go back and try to do something about that later.
Although I'm happy with the way the recording came out I see this getting reworked
in the future.Maybe even being turned into a Blues number.
So I'd say that you've succeeded admirably at stepping well outside your normal writing and singing style. OK I guess it's confession time. :oops:

The vocals did get a little help with the Change Pitch Effect in Audacity.

There I said it now I can sleep at night. :wink:

Thanks Again

Lyrics and music go well together, and you don't seem to be straining your voice at all, even though it's out of the normal comfort zone....

Works for me, but maybe a more shrill distorted lead guitar? A bit more BITE? Hey, if you're going to do something different, might as well go all the way!

:D :D :D
