the_man361 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 okay so we'll say 137 for now.. im just going to check it in cubase but ill believe you, it sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanatomyofguns Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I did my KoC cover (which I gave up on) at 137 and sounded about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_man361 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 i have checked the tempo of the track in cubase, its a weird one. the tempo is 137 up to the bit before 'noones gonna take me alive' then it drops down a fair bit. if i made a click track, is that okay with everyone? people doing midi stuff will need to know when the tempo changes, and to what speed.

matthijs Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 yeh, it drops to 136 all of a sudden. Clicktrack would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanatomyofguns Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Just tell me when it changes and what to and then I'll get on finishing the synth track off. Nearly finished already:$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_man361 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 ah i just loaded it up: heres what happens. its 137 bpm until the synth bass starts after the guitar slide down the neck. at this point it spends the next 4 bars ramping UP to 138.7 bpm (the ramp up should finish at the first word, 'no') ive made a click. if anyone wants it, let me know. ill put the song on quietly so you can know where you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I have only one fear, if we play with too many people it'd become a mess of different sounds, that's why I was in favour of just 2 guitar players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_man361 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Can I have a click so I know I'm getting the tempo changes right, please? sure. i am uploading it now.. it wobbles slightly around the start of the interlude, but it sticks with the track well enough for our needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanatomyofguns Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 What do we do with the tracks when we are finished? And do they have to be in wav or mp3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would say: wave file, megaupload them to theman My track will be done in about a week: I have to learn alternate picking first lol Painful admission: I am a noob with a pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnno Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Chris said something about different people doing different parts, I'd be more than happy to do that. Even if its just that rhythm guitar galloping along with the synth during the verses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its just that rhythm guitar galloping along with the synth during the verses? iirc theres actually LOADS of instruments in KOC tubular bells being just one... WHO'S ON TUBULAR BELLS? EDIT: Aside from the timpani drums, tubular bells and flanger-soaked drum kit on the introduction to Knights Of Cydonia, there are also crunchy guitars with almost no reverb. A contrast to these hard-edged rock sounds is provided by jangly strummed acoustic guitars. But the intro is just the start of things: the rest of the track features an array of guitar parts including double-tracked distorted guitars playing low, heavy chords, reversd guitars and clean guitars soaked in reverb and delay, playing mellow chords and arpeggiated triads. There are even guitars playing muted strings to enhance the galloping feel of the, er, galloping section. However, the stars of the show are the main melody guitars. These are treated with distortion and phasing and Matt Bellamy plays the notes while strangling the whammy bar to produce over the top sounds that only the Muse boys could get away with. All that would be enough for even the most grandiose of bands, but this track is finished off with synth playing arpeggios and sweeping pads. Add some trumpets to the mix and enough vocal tracks to make Queen sound as though thye had under-produced Bohemian Rhapsody, and the result is truly supermassive.

I have a trumpet sound on Reason which I could use. Or I could play the trumpet part on bagpipes:LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_man361 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have a trumpet sound on Reason which I could use. Or I could play the trumpet part on bagpipes:LOL: proper trumpet would be much better, for the articulation and dynamics change throughout the part What do we do with the tracks when we are finished? And do they have to be in wav or mp3? for versions to be tested: mp3. for proper final bits to definitely go in the piece: wav... ive now got the project file with the synth anatomy did and my outtro guitar riff, if everyones happy with it, i dont mind 'hosting' the project file.. thoughts? Cheers:happy: Now working on it. Edit/Update: I R FINISHED! sounds ace man, the bit before the break (before it jumps down an octave) sounds a little strange in a buzzy way, bit too harsh maybe too much distortion, but its all really good otherwise... you're probably right with it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
