I've brought this up amongst a few of us. Would be cool to put something together. Maybe if we can round up the funds, could hire Kwame to play drums on the project.
To pull it off, we'd basically have a plan. Record and mix the drums to a stereo track, and use "Yousendit.com" to pass it around. Talk about preferred keys and riffs. Each guy would record their part/s and share a rough mix (mp3). All tracks must be done as wav.
Mp3's are easier to pass around quicker.
I'd be happy to get something going with y'all!
We could sort of treat it as The Army version of the Hear 'N Aid sessions. Only it would be a long distance thing....

But one thing, let's not follow their work ethic.
Seriously though, we need a game plan. Is it simply gonna be a case of Kwame tracking a groove and passing it around and have one of us write some riffs and changes on top?
Idea's, anyone?Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!Comment

Number one, you need a roster of players. Who will be involved and what are their roles? Then, it would be a good idea to discuss exactly what you wish to accomplish here. Is this to be a full creative collaboration, or is it going to be a bunch of guys sitting side by side exchanging guitar solos over a basic riff? (Nothing wrong with that, just think about the second side of Abbey Road and the "Golden Slumbers" jam amongst John, Paul and George.)
Next, in the spirit of democracy, it would be cool if there were say, three choices of tunes to be recorded. This way, people could be in some form of agreement about how they could individually fit into a song and where they could comfortably place things as opposed to merely forcing their style over a particular passage or riff that does feel quite right. So you could have a ballad, a mid-tempo number or a flat out stomper, and everyone could go away, listen to them and think about what they could best contribute. Finally, a vote would be passed in order to conclude what the majority feels best about.
After that, it's merely a matter of time and logistics.

...Back on topic...lol. Finding the best way to not have CPU issues with Pro Tools at the moment is to, once I'm satisfied with the Boogie/Recabinet 3-mic deal, I need to immediately bounce it (printing the cab emulations, but for this one only kept the EQ on the D6 tracks) to a stereo track. I dumped 6 mono tracks to 1 stereo on "Bubble", and replaced the original mono PODfarm track with one redone in stereo. Nice interplay, IMO. I could've played with them in the stereo field a little more or less, but not bad for a first bounce...
Still need to come up with something spooky for the clean track to do in the breakdown and repeat the original part at the end, but coming along nicely...and NOW a file that's easy to work with again!!

I Like your balancing of the D6 cab mic. I found in my sessions I had to back it off a wee bit to leave frequency space for the kick and bass gtr. But it still has the oomph...Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!Comment

Was kinda thinking the same thing...alter the effect for the mid-section, punch back in with the original clean tone when it turns back around at the end...
And thanks, but funny you should mention the D6, I was thinking maybe I should've backed off on it a bit...Originally posted by conmee

This is kind of goofy. The original lyrics I came up with described a Henry VIII-type figure who habitually killed off his latest wife when bored with her, yet gets the tables turned on him by his current (and last) wife and the court jester. The "Royal Flush" alluded to in the title tells what she did with his head. Believe it or not, the song wasn't nearly as gruesome as that description makes it sound.
We only played this tune (without our singer) the one time after several beers, then abandoned it. I'm not really sure as to why, but it might have sounded a bit too derivative, as even a cursory listen reveals that I must have been listening to Zep's Presence a great deal around the time I wrote it. I dunno if that was the real reason, as we sure never shied away from being derivative of bands like Alice In Chains or Creed in this period.

I hear ya on that. This was when I was still using that short-scaled SG bass, before I smashed it to pieces after it failed me one too many times. The damned thing really lent itself to over-playing at times, but really was terrific for melodic lines. The thing is, as our guitarists got louder and louder, I needed something to cut through the din, and switched to the hot-rodded Explorer I've used ever since. However, listening to these old tracks, I seriously believe I either sacrificed or simply lost something along the way.
