The solo should begin around 2:24/2:25 (after the big synth). Play as long as you like. I’ll pick and choose what I need anyway and may well extend the project by a couple of minutes if the need arises which it likely will with all you talented buggers It’s a bit of fun for now and any solo instrument will do; geetars, sax, keys, anything goes
I skipped most of your post Philter and clicked the link straight away. After a minute or 2 I figured you must’ve posted the wrong link because this wasn’t going anywhere near a song that could use a solo. Turns out I should be more patient
I’ve left some FX in there just to add ambience or maybe inspire
Have fun. This track will appear on an album at some point, just no idea when
Though it’s in C# minor, I tend to leave the A and B as naturals. Still, it’s open to chromatic runs should you so desire
Hi there Phil I like this a lot.
What Ruardih (cool playing man!) has done with this on the leads is very close to what I would have done myself on this.
My jam idea was very close
What I feel here is that there is max 1 minute lead on this as it is now
There is only so long I at least can play over one chord.
But if you included some new chords after 16 bars or so then going back the the main riff…
Then we’d be talking.
Hiya Kim. I was thinking of overlapping solos on this, there’s already 5 or 6 people come forward on this, I was intrigued by the differing styles people have so thought it might work on that basis…
A danger was that I got 20 solos and I have a 2 minute intro and 20 minutes of soloing I’m sure I’ll be able to make it all work somehow.
Cheers
Phil
1st: I thank you.
2nd: great minds think alike … or is it that fools seldom differ?
Have a go anyway! I think you’re in safe hands with Phil. Also I’d be interested to hear it - as shown in Dave S’s “You’re Free” thread in the Made With Cubase section: the same raw materials can produce very different results in different hands.
OH! So what you’re saying is: I was the only one vain enough to post something!!!
Ironically, my favorite part of my version is when the guitar stops … and the “tweety” synth “echo’s” my (slightly ropey) unison bend. That synth part must have subliminally influenced me because it was a pleasant shock when the pieces first fell into place. Well … that part and when the guitar over lies the early synth line (the bit I wasn’t supossed to play over!! ): to my ear, it totally changes the bass line. Which is nice.
Most of the guys do stuff at the weekend and inevitably, any music stuff is a tad delayed…
I like some of those FX too so I’ll be editing around a few so’s not to lose them
Give me until the end of Wednesday to come up with something. The wife works Tue - Thu and the baby is in daycare. I don’t have any client meetings currently scheduled = I’ll be “working from home” and can spend an hour or two on coming up with something.
What version of Cubase are you running? I did some…um…interesting things and rather than render the tracks with effects applied it may be better if you applied the effects there so that you can tweak them to taste. But if you’re running SX then, Houston, we may have a problem.
Hiya Larry, I’m on SX3 here but if you send just the WAVs (no effects if poss), I can slot you in no worries.
Sorry about the delay, my ISP has been down for 6 hours
Cheers

Good to have a solo after the scene is set
