Rough draft done, hopefully will have the time to polish it up.
"Space Guitar" Challenge
wern101 Anyone done yet?
It seems I'm going to be true to form and screech in at number 99... lol.
Band practice 2 nights a week and church worship team practice another night a week means a LOT of guitar playing... but not much time to work on stuff right now.
Well then I don't feel to bad. Lol. I really really hope I am going to have time this week. Might just have to get up at 4am one day and Get. It. Done!
Seperate note - has ANYONE on this forum played with an iRig through Garage Band? Meaning the Garage Band built in amps. Is it worth buying that little thingy?
- Edited
wern101 The iRig (or similar interface) opens Garageband up to guitarists. It's probably the cheapest way to get the most out GB. All my challenge submissions have been recorded using iRig and GB.
A-A-A-A-A-N-D, making it even more interesting...... I got my iRig off Aliexpress for around $5 four years ago - so it clearly is not the original. (At the time I genuinely did'nt know there is a difference.) Nevertheless, it performs perfectly every time.
BTW, a "normal" audio interface like Scarlett focusrite, Roland Rubix, etc also works fine with the right adapters.
Tough cookie, this one. I managed to spend an hour on it earlier, and I still got nothing...
Agreeded.. Played around.. think I'm taking a Metallica song... slowing it right down.. adding bends and slides randomly all overlaid with phase and flanger settings.. sound um interesting to say the least and totally unlike the original
other wise i'm stumped..
Found this guy a while back - like his series of 'how to' videos.
So far I've got a bass sound, one a 1/2 progressions and not much else. Bass sound is legit though ?
I still got nothing...
wern101 I still got nothing...
There's still time! Join me at minute 99!
warrenpridgeon sorry guys. I am not gonna make it in time for this one. Weekend was just too busy. ?
Good luck for those last minute entries!!
At 51bpm this track's claim to infamy is that it took less minutes from start to finish that it has bpm.
I would like to have done more with the bass - the patch I came up with is sooooo Vangelis ? , But I didn't have time to get it playing nicely, so tried to keep the space mooody with delays/reverbs doing the work rather. All guitar/bass fx off the zoom b2 and tracked in ableton. Did add a hint of rhythmic glitching on one rhythm guitar track using one of the ableton plugins.
After a long day of wrangling asteroids and breathing bad air you finally get back to base and kick off the space suit that's been chafing you all day. You grab a beer from fridge, pull your dinged-up acoustic from your bunk and you play ... the Space Cowboy's Lament.
I recorded two takes sitting about 0.5 away from my phone, used the first. Earlier the week I tried it on the electric with a bunch of effects, didn't like them and then decided to go acoustic again. Compressed in reaper to get the volume right.
My mind was made up about sitting this one out... but apparently you gotta be in it to win it ?
I failed to complete my entry thing :-(
4 entries, nice ? I'll get going on a voting thread.
