oh... my friend bassist's not interested. we'll have to find 1. oh... i would like to replace Famous Last Words with Grenade by Bruno Mars

Hey we need a bassist, are you interested?

quite interested.can count me in for the collab.only need to learn more about recording.never do that before and maybe its helpful if u state ur expectation for this project.ill try my best to contribute

killerkamote, PM me once your base track/structure (drums or bass or guitar) is done. i'll add in the violin part.

Guys, still need a vocalist? this idea seems interesting.

Here's a video of me.

ok... here's my rendition of Secrets by One Republic

nice project would be awesome to join....

Hi Bro,
You're welcome to join as we currently don't have any vocalist. I was also thinking maybe you can fill in the drums too. Would you be able to have a clean track sample for the drums just like in this drum cover:


Very nice bro! Can you send me the rhythm part track alone?
I'll try to blend in some improvisations as I had put it in my cover:
Secrets - Rock Cover


Hi Bro,
Damnit your Steve Vai's cover was effing nice. Would love to jam with you too.
What covers do you have in mind? Thanks!

Oh i mean can you re-record it and share to me? Maybe you can play around with other settings too (i.e. compression, etc) so I only need to adjust the volume thresholds only to make room for the vocals to stand a bit.

We don't have any drummer yet ;(

i can re-record it. however, i'll most likely play it a bit differently.

Sure, that is OK, take your time. Let's give our best shot even if we have to record so many retakes. We should aim for quality, so there's no need to rush things.

i can try fit in with bass if have the drum track,but if theres not i can just try to cover based on the original version.by the way,am i still in?

Err drums is gonna be a problem because my drumming is only so-so. so i'd rather not. hahaha

Oh i thought you were not interested anymore haha. No problem bro, youre still IN.
Once we have the drum part covered, you're the first to go. Please practice improvisation part for the bass.


Seems we have a problem for the drum part. I'll see what I can do this weekend, any ideas on what software can we used for the drums ? one that should sound close to acoustic drums. Is cakewalk OK ? Have not tried any yet..

Do you mean you wanna digitally do beats? If so then my best bet would be FL Studio i guess?
But if you wanna record drums Ableton shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, digitally do beats. That's our last resort though haha.
Let me check FL studio on weekend

im following the thread silently got ableton live 8,but not really understand the interface.how to make amplitube 3 as plugins?i get confused about that

LOL... i too was baffled by it initially when i 1st installed it. it's basically quite simple. u get the plug-in from the plug-in browser (click the little icon that says "plug-in" to view your plug-ins), which is at the left and drag it into a box which says Drop Audio Effects Here, which is at the bottom.

oh.. in order for ableton to find where are ur plug-ins. goto option -> preference -> file folder. there u can specify where ur plug-ins r located in ur harddrive.

i strongly suggest u read the manual. setting up for recording is quite challenging. playback is another challenging task, i don't recall reading it specifically in the manual on how to playback your recorded track. it's designed such to avoid accidental recording during playback. which imo, is a good feature.

Hm... This is very interesting. Can't wait for the final product
Famous Last Words is really hard to sing. The singer need to hit high notes constantly. Besides, I think most songs by My Chemical Romance need to have a little 'attitude' or 'character' to it while delivering them. But then again, a cover shouldn't sound like the ori hehe.
I'm gonna keep on stalking this thread.

Good luck guys.

EDIT: Okay so I missed the part where it says that the song will be Grenade by Bruno Mars and not Famous Last Words by MCR
But it's even a more tricky song!
Okay Ima shut it. Bubbyes and goodluck.
