hey lee, it might be easier to have people record directly from the same starting point so it isn't a total bitch to edit.

I'll do some synth (doesn't have to be a solo, you can throw it in behind the vocals) and I'll do a line, I'm not sure which one, but I'll figure it out tomorrow.

alright. i've used the zipper on my pants (trousers?) as a percussion instrument. i've got the file saved as an .ogg , lee, just let me know where to send it, and i can give you specifics like how it syncs up w/ the backing track/song, etc. if i have the balls and the mics (my earbuds) work ok, i might do some vocals tomorrow morning, once the downstaris neighbors will only be scared and not woken up by my singing.

I want to yell "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

that's all I want to do. Fit it in there somehow.

But I really, REALLY want to do it.

If I sober up enough, I'll try to figure out how to get my damn computer to record something.

Think about it, random "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" in the middle of the song or at the end? Genius.

that is the best idea. but i think you should go all the way and also provide evil cackling laughter, like in a metal song. we can add reverb and echo.
either at the beginning as the song fades in and/or as the song fades out.

Can do. However, the statement "can do" is based upon if I can get my mutha fuckin computer to record something.

but, if I can, I'm down with an evil laughter and a "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

so should i just contribute one chorus on drums? thatd be fine because the song is like a million minutes long but i just want to know if more would be needed. like who else is going to do drumming for the rest?

and im starting to like this song now. at first it hits you hard with its cheesiness but if you give in to it and just let go, it really reveals itself to be a killer tune. the thing that really did it for me was the midi, or whatever, version. ive always found that midi versions of songs make me appreciate the song more. especially the melody, which i didnt really even notice as being good until i heard that midi flute do it

and how close to the original do we have to be, deviousj? i know were not going for an exact recreation but at the same time you need to have some limits so that people dont all go and do these wildly varying covers, because then the end result will have no coherence whatsoever. which might be cool though, i dont know

i ask because this drum beat is pretty boring and i really dont want to learn those weird, stilted fills that come in every now and then. just how much of a pastiche are we going for? i think itd be cool to have the whole song twist and zig zag and go all over the place stylistically, but that would onyl work with a skilled editor at the helm, deviousj. do you think you can hack it?

question!

should i record along with the entire song doing the appropriate bits along the way(which leaves for lots of dead air on my recording) or should i make one recording that can be reused for all the bells parts without actually playing along with the entire song. does anyone get what i'm asking? how is everyone else doing this?

well since there's no one around to answer me i suppose i'll just do what i want with it and then lee can do what he wants with the recording.

lee i know that you're a busy dude and really you are the best for orchestrating this and i think that the end result will be massively entertaining. and even though it most likely won't be done by tomorrow - it's still the holiday season through the new year right?

Nah, it's really easy to move things around and set the start points, so just recording the bit you're doing is fine, so long as you're in time with the backing track and you tell me where in the song it's meant to go

Cool beans, can you upload it to yousendit?

Random NOOOOOO is doable, if you want it less random there's a bit at around 2:22 in the original song where he ends the chorus with a little 'ohhhhhh!' If you see where I'm going with this.

Actually I just thought of someone doing a death metal growl leading straight into a boppy synth solo

If you want to drum the whole thing, that's cool - if nothing else it'll mean we do have drums for the whole thing if no-one else contributes in that area. If you just want to do a bit I can loop it or whatever.

And go as close as you like, I mean on the drum track I made I did some of the fills to make it easier for people to follow, but I didn't make the whole thing accurate. I would try to keep it fairly close - well I mean, go at it from a perspective where everyone else is going to be following the original quite closely, so your bit will 'fit' even if it's not completely faithful to the original. It would be really cool to make a radically different version, but it would be a nightmare to orchestrate. I've never really done anything like this before anyway

It's good! I'm putting these bits into a basic track so I can hear how it's all working. We should get more people whispering the 'Merry Christmas' bit

Hmm! You can do it either way, it would probably be easier to record them as separate parts though since there's only a few - just let me know what you want to go where. You can just use one part and have me reuse it if you want, or you can go for the more organic feel of separate takes

And this will be a song for all year round

i was kind of hoping some other people would share the drumming duties, even if it meant using a drum machine or fruity loops or whatever. but if i have to, if no one else wnats to, ill do the whole song

the only problem with the beat is that its pretty much just kick-snare the whole way through with little fruity hihat things and then some really awkward fills. i was thinking about doing the beat largely the same but just throwing in some extra kick and snare things as the music requires it

like heres roughyl what im thinking about doing

http://s57.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...F25BIFLLBVIK9R

but like cleaning it up sonically and, i dont know, adding in some tambourine or something so it isnt so spare. but i guess this is what you mean, spare is good in this case. like i have to do whatever with the fact that its going to be completely cluttered in mind. so i guess spare would help

Do you know which parts you want to do synth for? It doesn't matter if you're not sure, but if you have an idea I'll add it to the list.

Oh yeah, Jan and ******, and anyone else really, do any of you guys mind sharing choruses if enough people want to sing lines? For that celebrity singalong vibe

Well ideally, I'd like a bunch of people to do different parts, so one person drums on the choruses and one in the verses, or one person plays on one chorus and someone else uses loops for another, just to get a really collaborative thing going on. So yeah, I'd like that, but if you contribute a full drum track then it's a great start, and hopefully more people will add stuff to build it up.

That clip sounds good though, I really like the hi-hat sound at the beginning. Sparse would be useful since I have to mix this thing, but it's up to you. Oblivious is adding some tambourine for some sections and Mariner's zipping his pants up and down rhythmically, so there will be more going on in there on the percussive side.

Oh yeah, I'm not being aggressive, I'm just taking control, so fuck you

alright:

here's the zipper percussion track. the first zipper sound should match up with the second beat (the first upbeat) of the backing track. let me know if it doesn't work or doesn't make sense. i recorded for the entire song, so it's a big/long file. all i have is a crappy pair of earbuds, so it's extremely lo fi.

http://download.yousendit.com/E781381559F7D514

and i tried to do the vocals for 4 bar chorus 3 (1:49), but the mike wouldn't pick me up at all unless it was like in my mouth, so they're pretty breath-y. i couldn't get it to record me any louder, either, so i'm guessing they might not work. here they are anyway:

take 1:

i thought you'd be able to use it - since it's a freaking audacity file. wtf? sorry. i'm grumpy. it's too early to have to hear my own voice.


both are almost identical.
