Like it....been looking for a new bike and thats taken up
most my time the last week BUT i got 1 and fly down
to England tomorrow to pick it up and ride back.
But i'm making this one my 1st.
Thank's Jerry, I recorded it with two input, One directly in the soundcard and the other with a mic in the same sound card (Delta 1010LT in a Mac G4 dual 1,25 Ghz, 2Go RAM).
I fully understand that this is missing on some parts and other... There are reasons for that, and there were work arounds on this track because of a sync issue. I would have to explain everything so I think I rather just leave it at that. The mid is provided because I have no idea if like it or not, and so you wouldn't have to ask me for it. Also, I'm willing to work this project again if you think it is worth it? That won't be until the end of next week though.
Too much talk... I should just post and not speak...lol
My Friends - Jerry that is an awsome new mix and it inspired me to write this new song. The new mix is just excellent! You did a terrific job!
Grugy this new project is excellent! I know you do not have a title yet but I borrowed Jerry's title lol. You did a terrific job!
By the way this song goes out to all the women out there who ust wanted me for my wheels lol. I use to live for a good set wheels and I knew the chics dig it too. I never really drove a fancy car lol but if I traded in a car bam I lost the girl everytime lol. If I got a new car I got a new girl lol. So Ladies this song goes out to yoou and I wander what kind of car they are driving lol? Thank you guys and I appreciate it.
your friend Jimmy
Here Comes The Grudge
Something that I used to drive
It's part of my youth
It kept me strong and alive
It's a Indie Super 55 Chevy
Loaded down grease and smudges
Metal is thick and very heavy
Engine block for a motor won't budge
Here Comes The Grudge
It blew a head gasket
Looking at you so stunning
Water spraying but still running
It won't be long if it takes a plunge
Here Comes The Grudge
HeeComes The Grudge
Here Comes The Grudge
Here Comes The Grudge
Now you stalled it broken down
It's collecting rust in the garage
Sometimes I wish you were a mirage
I still have my car, I still have my car
It's looking the way you are
It's looking the way you are
All burned out and rusty
Looking a little crusty no longer
Feeling you out busty, sagging
Leaking oil, blown head gasket
Your head is in a basket
I think you missed a smudge
Here Comes The Grudge
Here Comes The Grudge
Here Comes The Grudge
Something that I used to drive
It's part of my youth
It kept me strong and alive
It's a Indie Super 55 Chevy
Here Comes The Grudge
Here Comes The Grudge

That is cool guys, I didn't expect that result at all. Jerry, you know how to create a song out of a track. I'm very pleased to ear what you did with my track. That's a brand new song. Thank you. I am not gonna work this project until you do something else on it. I would really want to redo the guitar track when the structure will be finished. There are mistakes in it. My playing. And I would like to add, maybe a second guitar... I know that for now you are writting so I am not in a hurry. Take your time. Good things take time to do.
I hope somebody will sing FastStrings lyrics on this. Good job FastStrings. I like it.
Thank's guys.

My Friend you are more than welcome! I like this project it is awsome! If you post another new one I'll write the lyrics okay? Thank you Grugy and I appreciate it.
Here is my take on this. I wrote my own lyrics this time. Get ready for a stereo experience (sorry Jerry I know that makes it harder 4 you) My mix: Grudge Befallen Luke's mix.mp3 (6.27 MB) The wet vox mp3: grudge befallen wet vocals mp3.mp3 (4.73 MB) Vocal sonar bundle coming soon.
The lyrics: Grudge Befallen. Here comes the grudge, bad vibes befallen me. I don't know why they put me down. Here comes the grudge, I stepped on their toes, and now I'm the bad guy in town.
So I stuffed up, I'm human just a man, yet you line up to take shots. Welcome to life, where nothing is perfect; do you think you are? no you're not.
Grudge befallen; I feel small again.
Here gomes the sludge, I'm dredging every day you throw enough and some will stain. I've had enough, rage building in me, This overloads my brain.
Now you've stuffed up, your turn has come around, people point and call you clown. So quick to fall, so briefly at the top. who is the bad guy now?
Grudge befallen; I feel small again.
Here comes the grudge, bad vibes befallen me. I don't know why they put me down. Here comes the grudge, I stepped on their toes, and now I'm the bad guy in town.
My Friend wow this song is awsome! I just love the music and the vocals they are both excellent. This is very cool! You did a terrific job! Thank you Luke and I appreciate it.
your friend Jimmy

I will work some more on this Grugy. I'll need to duplicate the editing I did on the guitar track though...I don't know how easy that will go. I'm sure I can do it but it might take a little while. Also, I can add another guitar, a lead guitar part near the end?
I need the high quality tracks guys. Otherwise the track is crippled before I even get started.
Of course it is worth the upload! This song is tight...
Here is a little solo and more. Do whatever it is possible to do with it.
Thank You!
Jerry, dont be afraid to cut what doesn't fit. I left some more stuff that can be erase. I dont know why but this track pan a bit on the right so you can pan it on the left to make it center.
Very cool mix Jerry. Wow (That does not mean World of Warcraft) You always impress me. You are a very talented man. I have noticed that there is a new bass track. Is that you playing? That's very good.
In my headphones, all tracks seam well balance. Or maybe the drum and the voice parts could be a little bit more front. But dont take it to consideration if it sounds good in your system. I didn't listen to it in my studio monitor, so... Did you notice my solo part. You dont have to put it in you know. It's at your choice. I left a bunch of crap after my solo part in the track. You can dispose of it or use it but it is crap. anyway, you did a very great job on this song. I'm very happy to know you and to have fun doing music with you in v-band.de.
Thank's again, Jerry.
Good night.

I have had my hands full with this, and I still haven't gotten the guitar solo. The drums was hard. Now I have a major update. In the other thread I mentioned that the EM chord should be EM D Well, that effects the bass, piano, and sample guitar. I should have fixed that first. I just, and made a lot of mistakes on this project. The problem is it takes extra time to fix those things. It's not as easy as change the midi. It has to be re-recorded using my good vsti. Then that opened a new can of worms with the edits...lol
This is a major change. I haven't even listen to it yet as I have to shut for dinner. I already have a lot hours in on this today so I'm off of this until tomorrow. Before I am completely done I will provide all of the tracks for this version.
latest version = best. Great sound Jerry.You did a better job leveling the vocal tracks than I did and I know how many clips are in there so that's some hard work I gave you there
I really like this song, it's fast becoming one of my favorites (out of some 400 I've written lol)... Liam likes it too - he's bopping away to it right now.
No...not a new mix. Grugy I just wanted to let you know that I will be finishing this up tomorrow. I was working on other stuff, and then took a nap, got up lazy...and didn't get it done. Tomorrow bro, and I will post all of the tracks.
Luke, that was your vocal mix using your effects. I just opened the project, fixed the reverb plug, and export. Tomorrow I will open your cakebundle and export as raw (no effects) for the separated tracks upload. I think it was pretty much lined up. However, it has that lead in music, and yes, that is always helpful for lining the track up. I know once I get that set I'm home free. You do outstanding work with your tracks Luke, and I really appreciate the professional effort you always give.
You did all a very good job on this little guitar track I put on this tread. I have two questions for you... First, I'm a french canadian and I don't know what Grudge befallen means. Second, Jerry, how do you extract your compress wav files?
Well, I used winrar because it can create a executable file that will extract all of the files into a folder. The problem, I don't know MAC, so I can only guess if you could run those or not. I thinking now, no, lol...
Personally I prefer WavPack compression. My second preference is FLAC. The reason why is because I can play these files without decompressing, and I can decompress very easily. That said, WinRar is easy for me too...but you cannot play the tracks until it is decompressed.
Why not wav or aif?
Because they are bigger files and it takes a long time to upload. My storage server (includes v-band) are slow upload and fast download. It can easily take me a half hour to upload 100 megs...even less
The point though is that MAC is having a problem decompressing my separate tracks. Therefore I would need to upload in a format that MAC can handle. Again though, I don't know MAC so I don't know what compression. Zip? Because I can do that too...
Further, I know that FLAC and WavPack are suppose to be compatible with MAC. That's something you should probably look at because they're awesome free compression tools.
Grudge?
LOL... I'll let Luke answer that one.
BTW, thanks Luke...appreciate the comments...glad you like it
Lol, A Grudge is when you hold bad feelings towards someone (possibly seeking vengeance or revenge also).
So Grudge befallen in this song means the person in the song has people holding a grudge towards them for a small mistake. Usually that's when a grudge starts: when you make a small mistake that someone else gets really angry about.
I relisten to this song tonigh. Wow! I realyse now that this song is really awosome. I think no. 1 in the palmares!!! This mix is a special one. I very like it.
