I would like to show....

I actually think that for the comping an alternation between piano and organ would be a good idea ?
So here is what i propose : Rharv lays out the piano comping for the whole track
As soon as i have the track i'll mix it in, 12 bars alternating piano, 12 bass silence
Then Fred can do the organ part
Fred allready did an intro, but i didn't manage to line it up  I'll need the 2 bars lead in...

Does this sound ok to you guys ?

[rharv]

If you meant '12 bars piano, 12 bars silence', I follow you..
It came out as '12 bars piano 12 bass silence'..which I was confused on until I substituted the 'r' for a 'b'.
 Is that what you meant?

Either way- I can just play through it and you can edit..hey, wait a minute; if I did bass why don't you do the piano?   (and you're being kind by saying I can play bass, I fiddle around with it)

[kara]

of course i ment bars  i should reread my posts before posting 

actualy the basic idea is that I do the mixing of all the tracks  )
So i would rather avoid to play on it myself, but i will if needed of course

Its a 12-bar round, Rony. It won't work as the 7-bar intro. But like I said, once you figure out where you want it, I'll send you a file that lines it up.

[Fred S]

On what did you play this ?

Hey Rony, its Native Instruments B4. Its a pretty good Hammond emulation.

[kara]

@Fred, yep i found the 12 bars
Sounds like you played it a tiny litle bit upbeat

Great playing by the way 
Sounds great as a bridge i think ....

Does this sound right to you
I've left the click track in it as reference

[Fred S]

Does this sound right to you

Nope

It starts on the 4-bar D7 section with just a partial bar lead in. It plays through the standard 12-bar progression.
4 bars D7, 2bars G7,2 bars D7, 1 bar A7, 1 bar G7, 2 bars D7

So in your original track, it sounds like this.

Again, I'll align it for you if you want.

OK, I see
Let's keep it
It sounds good as bridge, when whe have the comping track, it'll be esay for you to fit it in

Here's some piano slice and dice as needed.
 I tried to keep it out of the way to leave room for everyone to jam.

I got a browser error at the end of the upload. Let me know if there is a problem with the file at your end.

Thanks Rarhv 

So here we go, all nicely lined up and labeled in audacity

Now...

@Fred : I've left the room for the hammond break, can you line it up now ? I was thinking that it would be nice to have a hammond entry allso ?
There are 2 bars intro before the 12 bar loops, actually if you're starting from the actual start of the count-in (so before the drum) you'll have 4 bars, which would be nice i think.

To make this song a not to wild unorganized jam and make it a coherent (is that english ) or perhaps consistent song, I was tinking that now we should start with a 12 bar theme at the beginning. This 12 bar theme will be used then for others to adapt, extend, whatever in the other 12 bar loops.

Who can make such a theme ?
I was thinking about Wyatt and one of his lovely harps but don't know with all the PC problems he has, if he is able to record something at the moment. Wyatt

Anayway for the first 12 bars keep it simple, don't forget that guitar players will need space to play around it.

This is fun

[kara]

I forgot
How about a 12 bars guitar solo that i can fit in somewhere ?

[kara]

And on a side note...
@Rharv
I realy realy like that bass sound
On what and trough what did you play this ? I love that growling sound it has...

[rharv]

I played my Steinberg bass thru my Behringer GMX210 amp, using line out to record.
I was using the 'tweed' sim in it.

 Then I put a gate (from reaper) on it and used the PGDynamics compressor with preset 'bass-fix inconsistent touch'.
I did it all in Powertracks as usual.

Barry was over today (music friend) and he commented on how nice of a sound I'm getting from it too.  He called it a 'bite' with some round to it...
..I must be doing something right; two compliments on my bass sound in one day.

Its going to be a while yet, unfortunately.

Just had a listen to Fred's solo.

Therefore....sign me up. Whatever you need.

Then, let's do another version where Fred and I go nuts on a back and forth thing for about three minutes...man, that guy can play!
