The Doors - Riders on the Storm

Awesome Frank, that's perfect, thanks a lot again. Hope it's not gonna cost too much for roof repairs ;)

@YvesC: Hahah ! My pleasure Yves ! Glad you liked...

@YvesC: Thanks for publishing. I listened to it and I'll redo my track soon to fix a few timing issues. There are 2 places I've noticed where it's a bit naked. 1) During the Rhodes solo, there's some rhythm guitar missing; 2) at the end, there's some sound effects missing. For #1, look into Frank (@thx1138) - I can add left hand chords if needed? For #2, I can overdub some rain effect or we can get @Bob to do some cymbal work (if there's a future retake)...

Awesome Eric! Great work!

Yes, it was Frank plan to wait for your solo and adjust his guit to it.

@YvesC: Oops, deleted my comment by mistake. Here's what I said before: Thanks. @thx1138 and @cbgb, about my comment above, I'd like to know, are you done recording here? If yes, I'll fill the voids on my next retake. If not, I might wait and see what you do next.

Hi Eric, if you scroll down you'll see thx1138 comment: "Salut ! Here are two tracks for your. I owe you another one - the rhythm during the keyboard solo...I will wait till Eric pcderic comes in with his work and follow him.". Consequently I'm sure Frank (thx1138) will do another track to back you on the solo.

About Bob, I don't know if he will do another take. If not it's perfectly fine. However I wouldn't ask him to emulate rain or thunder. I'd be more than happy Eric if you'd fill the gaps where sound effects are missing, the ones you did are awesome.

@YvesC: Ok will do that

@YvesC: Hi Yves. Sorry for being so absent. I've been wanting to do my track over. This time of year is tough for me. A lot going on, and as you know, I've had my share of technical issues with my system not performing. Maybe I can give it a shot tonight. As I recall I came in late somewhere, but maybe nobody noticed because it was an arbitrary stop anyway.

@YvesC: Anything for you mate. Thunder and rain, no. Cymbal effects yes. About the drum track here now, I'm not sure I can get a better track tone wise. If you're happy with it, great. I'd just as soon keep and add an effects percussion track at the end if you want. I am of course willing to redo the main track, but that could take some time.

@Bob : I was thinking cymbals at the end (with mallet sticks?) to get some kind of white noise but it's probably not needed. I just submitted my keys track with some added rain noise at the end. Hopefully it'll fill some void.

Thanks cbgb Bob, to me, I love how your ride rings. It's going so well through the mix that the global track level has to be lowered but doing so we loose kick, snare, fills, etc. I don't know what your set-up allows you to do, I'll let you comment. (we can persue in PM)

@YvesC: well, remember I had to give up the old Win 7 laptop for the for newer Win II? Well Alesis doesn't make a driver for a 64 bit processor for my USB interface, so I'm using a generic MS driver and it is different and more limited, so I find myself still dialing in a whole new mix. The bugaboo is that what I hear monitoring the mix of drums and BT is not what I hear at playback. It's frustrating.

@YvesC: btw, I did tape the ride. That helped. I'm using 9 mics. But I'm stereo out to the analogue/digital interface. I could just drop the gain on the overhead mic over the ride.

Lets try it ? up to you :) . There's no hurries here btw :) Thank a lot for your efforts.

@YvesC: I'm listening now with a pretty good set of ear buds and the global mix is very hot. The AI bass in particular, which is something that will interfere with drums. I can barely hear any drums. Let me see if I can offer a suggestion. I also have to listen to another song I did the same night.

Good, don't pay too much attention to vocals, it's draft, I'm too loud from start but it stabilises later in the song

@YvesC: ok. Saved a DAW. But this is your collab, yeah, and my ears are getting old and tired.

@Bob : Great job with the drumming!

Bdajaysus - Hi John ! hanks for dropping by and the nice words !
