Jam Room Band

eyeprod · June 11, 2011, 10:18:33 AM

I've done this in the past and had success by using guitar riffs and a click track to set a foundation. The click track is used to keep things square until a real drummer lays down an acceptable drum track. Then you ditch it, and keep adding embellishments until everyone is happy. I'd be down to add some psych noise, a lead, or even some slide.

I'm still hashing out the keyboard idea. Simple 70's Rhodes with phaser.

Sunn will do...

VOLVO))) · June 11, 2011, 01:52:11 PM

I'll do some swells, and ambient electronic shit, if wanted... Do you want me to make the soundcloud, Erik?

Bass player down, distorted fuzzy lead bass. Or acoustic guitar track. Or electric. I am a pretty good finger and flat picker on guitar. This sound like fun!

I'm on my phone...

Sound cloud account name is Stoner Rock forum band
I think it can have a drop box, I'll look into when I get home. The full site is too slow on my phone.
The free account has only 2 hours on audio, it'll fill up fast with tracks...

Try this.

Great idea

Guitar is my main thing, can do bass too and if I am brave/drunk enough I could do vocals.

inductorguitars · June 12, 2011, 07:04:45 PM

Scrapped the Rhodes riff, turned out like shit. I'm not a keyboard player, just a button tweaker.

Maybe I'll try just a background effect...

VOLVO))) · June 13, 2011, 12:14:55 AM

I'll record some keyboard shit, right now, and put it in the drop box, to bust it's cherry.

EDIT: Need the password to the account.

inductorguitars · June 13, 2011, 11:31:22 PM

Email me for the password.

I'll PM Sunn it too.

Did it not upload? Fuck. I'll try again soon as I get home. I'm at the shop nursing my poor poor Marshall and it's dumb fucking microphonic tubes.

inductorguitars · June 14, 2011, 11:13:37 PM

Crappy E A G G E A C G riff

Individual tracks of HH and Rhoades with Distortion and phaser.

Derp. What's the email you used for it? It won't let me upload shit unless I'm logged in.

inductorguitars · June 15, 2011, 01:11:59 PM

I fucked up on the uploads...

I reuploaded the correct tracks.

Need to get some real recording gear besides my 4-track tape and I would totally do it.

Record on the 4 track then cable it into the computer.

Johnny-come-lately here: I could probably lay down some lap steel licks during the sustained notes, if that seems like a good idea to those already on board.

If it does, should I go for bluesy or atmospheric?

VOLVO))) · June 15, 2011, 05:27:02 PM

moar spacerock

VOLVO))) · June 15, 2011, 05:30:56 PM

It absolutely will not let me upload shit from my computer.

eyeprod · June 15, 2011, 08:53:13 PM

its not working for me either. some error about sharing?

inductorguitars · June 15, 2011, 09:45:50 PM

I bet sound cloud has IP detection for password sharing like we're doing.

email me the clips and I'll get them up.

And Third times a charm with the Rhodes part. I was trying to rush it this morning.

Just upload to mediafire and post the links in the thread!

Sunn's keyboard track up at soundclod

eyeprod · June 16, 2011, 09:06:30 PM

I've got a bass riff, and a drum track to go with it. Not much, just something I had leftover from a previous sesh. It's only a minute or two. Mess with it if you want. Lose the bass, keep the drums, redo it, add to it, whatever. I'm not attached, but I think a basic thing like this is the best way to get something started. You gotta have drums and a riff, as I see it. If you drop these tracks into an audio editor they'll line up perfectly, and it would be easy to add overdubs. I think it would also be easy enough to punch in a new part as this one starts to fade. anyway, check it out. I think the jam room band idea is way past due. We have the technology.
