RECORDING: Dialogue With the Stars

SilverSpoon · 07-12-2006, 04:06 PM

Hey! After months and months I finally got around to recording my cover of Dialogue With the Stars by In Flames. Again, it's just guitars and drums. Too lazy to ask someone to do bass and it's an instrumental so there are no vocals. I did the drums using Reason, which is reasonably good (Hahaha!). They still don't sound completely real, but they're better than Fruity Loops drums. And yesterday I spent the whole afternoon recording the guitars. Each riff I did four tracks of, so it took a while, and most of the melodies had to be harmonized, so that was about four tracks each again. I used my nylon string guitar for the acoustic parts. Had to EQ that quite a bit since my mic sucks and it came out incredibly bassy. Anyway, enjoy!

Wow, never been much of an In Flames fan, but this is nice Spoony, really solid playing my man.

SilverSpoon · 07-13-2006, 07:33 AM

Thanks, mang.

Anyone else? Anyone...?

sounds pretty good. crappy song though.

SilverSpoon · 07-13-2006, 10:58 AM

Mmm, Darko comments are like a big fat slice of chocolate cake.

**MissyO** · 07-14-2006, 01:42 AM

Holy hell! I just had flashbacks of the 80's!

Great work, Spoony. I "headbanged" to it.

SilverSpoon · 07-14-2006, 07:22 AM

The 80's?! This song came out in the 90's!

07-14-2006, 09:59 AM

SilverSpoon, that was swingin'! I am a big fan of yours.

SilverSpoon · 07-14-2006, 10:28 AM

Thanks, Jimmy. I love you too.

**MissyO** · 07-15-2006, 01:51 AM

Aww. You guys have a mutual admiration goin'!

SilverSpoon · 07-15-2006, 07:13 AM

We're just artists respecting each others' work.

07-20-2006, 11:05 PM

You are such a homo sometimes.

BlackWolf · 07-20-2006, 11:56 PM

Aren't we all sometimes?

SilverSpoon · 07-21-2006, 09:30 PM

Not me, Stephen. Don't you go gay on me.

BlackWolf · 07-21-2006, 10:46 PM

Well, of course, I meant everyone but you and me Stephen, I assumed that was implied.

**MissyO** · 07-22-2006, 01:17 AM

I can't help but feel this is aimed at me

!

Stephen, Stephen, you're big meanies!

SilverSpoon · 07-22-2006, 08:35 AM

It's Jim's fault! Stop it, Jim!

BlackWolf · 07-22-2006, 10:14 PM

Dammit, Jim is tearring the gang apart, we can't be having that.

**MissyO** · 07-23-2006, 03:13 AM

Come on Stephen and Stephen, Jim just wants to be liked and included in the gang.... Now let's all have a big group hug! (OI! Who's hand is that on my ass! Get it off NOW! Stephen, don't blame Stephen, I know it was you Stephen)

BlackWolf · 07-23-2006, 10:57 PM

Yeah it was me, don't pretend you didn't like it.

And I guess you're right, he's just trying to fit in, so I'll give Yoko one more shot.
