  1. MIDI should be transferable through all programs.

     

    Yeah I just realized that and am dl'ing cubase now. Idk why I didn't remember that lol. I'm no guitar noob but I'm nooby as fuck when it comes to midi stuff lol.

  2. Yeah laptop logic and whammy would be enough, obv as long as you can connect whammy to computer

     

    And I thought it didn't work for Tom because he doesn't have a whammy?

     

    Ha ok yeah I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to that conversation but I just remember no success. Well cool I'm gonna go try this out. I've never been exactly sure which whammy model I got but I'm pretty sure its a 4 and that can be hooked up via midi.

  3. Yeah should do, talked about it a few pages back. I posted what settings I've intended it to be, maybe someone else can change it to IV that has more knowledge about that stuff if you can't. Trying to upload to dropbox but it isn't liking it, will try on another site

     

     

    Ok cool. Yeah I saw the guy asking about whammy 4 but it seemed like he didn't have any success and idk anything about these programs and midi controlled stuff. Also what is the ultimate octave doing? Like would a laptop, logic, whammy be enough once I have your file and your tab?

  4. Also just listened to the verse with the volume up louder and yeah you got it pretty spot on. The first time I did it with the volume low (family in the room) and it sounded like you had an up down up pattern on the automation but nah you got it spot on! It sounds amazing.

  5. The verse is identical to the saitama live version as far as I can tell, spent all afternoon trying to get it spot on

     

    I use Logic since the whole MIDI thing on there I found easier than Ableton. Not through laptop

     

    signal path is:

    Guitar -> Whammy 5 (which is being controlled by Logic on my laptop via MIDI) -> Ultimate Octave -> Amp

     

    and then mic and back to logic

     

    Will it work with a whammy 4? I'm just trying to figure out how to set this up I've never used any midi programs to play guitar lol

  6. Right, I think it's pretty much accurate apart from what I've mentioned in previous comments. Verse I think is spot on, bit different to citizen-erasers. Will do a proper cover with video when I get jazzmaster but here's audio for now I guess

    That was badass....I want that file and the name of the program you use to play it. Is it like you're playing into your laptop with no effects and then the program applies it after or can you have it outputted through your amp so it actually sounds live like you're just playing it??

     

     

    Also the verse is good. It is more like the album version where the pitch shifting goes up and down on each note. On the live version that I covered (saitama pro shot) each pitch shift is single for each note. I can't think of a good way to explain it but each pitch shift that happens on each note that has the whammy notation on my tab its one solid single pitch shift either up or down not both.

  7. Has anyone done the middle part of the song yet? I had a go at it a while back, but really had no idea what to do.

     

    I think I've got the main parts of my track fairly accurate.... though it needs a bit of cleaning up

     

    I have a cover of the live version of the middle part back a couple pages. I was asking if someone could use the info about it learned (like the pitch shifting patterns and notes because they're spot on) that could make an autowhammy file so I don't have to do it manually like I did in the cover.

  8. Is someone interested in doing an autowhammy file for me for the live version of my manual whammy cover? Like I don't know how to use any of those programs to create it but considering that manually with the whammy I found out the notes and the pattern of pitch shifting I could give someone the info and them use it to create a file?

     

    I know theres a bunch floating around already in this thread but they're for the album version with 3 notes after each bit of the riff vs 2 he does live with no behind the nut scrapes.

  9. Looking through various youtube videos and seeing people comment oh so wisely how matt isn't playing guitar cos he's not by the whammy. Does my head in

     

    Did people have this sort of reaction when MOTP was first played?

     

    Yeah I know. I was always skeptical just based on how hes not facing the crowd and it just kinda seemed like he exaggerated his movements but then I saw them from the barrier when they came St. Louis and it was definitely live. You could just tell.

  10. so wait, I kinda get the idea, but what exactly do you mean by say...7up on the d string then 9 up on the g string. What exactly do the numbers represent and are you just playing the open D and G strings?

     

    EDIT: or do the numbers represent the fret? It's the way it's in brackets that confuses me I guess. I don't know if it's like 9 steps up or some weird shit like that

     

    yes its the fret you play. The brackets are for the whammy movements idk why i included the fret in the bracket.

     

    Also forgot to mention on the whammy set after the 3rd fret A string you need to bend the 9 on the G string as you ride up with the whammy so it raises even higher than a fully up toe.

     

    The up and down is just whether you move the toe up or down. It starts out always in the down position because you have to have it -1 octave to play the riff correctly on the A string. From that point its just a matter of learning how gradual to time the movements of the treadle. If you watch the live video at saitama you'll hear the pattern of some of them being pitch up and some being pitch down.

  11. please can i have help getting that midi file..monies could come your way ;)

     

    the guitar cover sounded great, something tells me matt has the OC2 running at the same time just something about the tone he had in the studio.

     

    If you're referring to mine there is no midi file. I recorded it just direct into my laptop with a whammy pedal. Actually doing the pitch shifting manually.

  12. Having never seen anyone tab the actual live version of this song I decided to learn and tab it myself. So here's the actual live version of unsustainable (with the different middle bit) as Matt plays it. Only I did it with a real whammy pedal no cheating midi program auto whammy.

     

    For anyone interested check it out and if you want I can post a quick notepad file of the tab.

     

    Recorded direct input into my laptop so quality is good.

  13. it should be Ruled by Secrecy now

    couldn't get it for quite a long time, but at some point it just clicked (must have been that time when I listened to it in full darkness at smth like half past midnight :D)

    and Hoodoo as well - amazing lyrics

    oh, and SfA live, though I'm still not in love with the studio version really

     

    Are me and you the same person?? Those are like the same three songs I've heard almost every day for the past year. Even down to the live version of SFA as I agree the album version doesn't match up.
