[quote name='bassicinstinct' timestamp='1351174263' post='1848241'] On a practical note, I bet arranging their rehearsals is harder than arranging yours! [/quote] Great stuff and a nice arrangement. Garry

[quote name='JamieMillsBass' timestamp='1351089215' post='1847188'] The one month were the picture really suits my influences (metal mainly) and I haven't had a chance to get anything recorded! ah well!! Looking forward to hearing all the entrys, gonna wait to listen to them all one by one. [/quote] I think the pictures can be open to any genre, it's just what you make of it. In all honesty, with out a brief it could be anything................ Fiddles and Banjo's, and you have a Rodeo impression...... Garry

Nearly forgot about this [link down at the moment] But i did listen a few days back. I really like it, and it's nice and polished [for me] Being a Jazzer at heart, anything that leans that way always tends to draw me in a some point. Great stuff Mike. Garry

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1350925334' post='1845141'] Does that mean you can use samples that come with your software package i.e drum loops, electric piano chords etc? [/quote] They usually come as Royalty free, to do as you want with. Some [but not often] ask you to give them a credit on any work you do. But as said above just check the license agreement if not sure. Garry

Drummer gave me his card "Good Busker" Garry

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1350654598' post='1841848'] I'm wondering if the stipulation of 4 rehearsals is more a reflection of the band's confidence in themselves than in a dep bassist. [/quote] This for me. Any regular depping Bassist would know those tunes, and more than likely not need one rehearsal. The problem then is the 50 squids - if it's booked a few weeks in advance, the chances are another much better paying gig would come in and they are back to square one and in a panic - so i kinda see their point, get someone not so good who will rehearse and not run away if a better paying gig comes along. On another note, a bands promo website should really be selling them - a polished product....not sh*tty rehearsal videos. Garry

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1350644522' post='1841616'] fixed [/quote] Not exactly a "The Dorchester" or a "Mercedes" weekend gig in Monte Carlo function set list. Garry

Just do your homework, and your ears will do the rest if there is no charts. Half my musical life has been depping - you would be amazed at what you walk into sometimes. Many a time i have known the tunes better than the band [well at least the correct chord changes] Don't worry, don't panic and just enjoy yourself. Good luck. Garry

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1350557504' post='1840408'] Had a one hour window of opportunity to pen the lyrics, record it and make a start on the washing up. [/quote] Don't you mean the "Mother Fecking Washing Up" Garry

Good stuff.

Garry

Everything Bilbo said. Top stuff. Garry

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1350328090' post='1837435'] Check out "The Man With The Horn " and "We Want Miles" albums by Miles Davis for Marcus Miller at his very best. All the more amazing when you think how young Marcus was when he made these records. [/quote] There are some UK TV clips knocking around from that period, and they are great. Garry

The Dave Grusin album 'Mountain Dance' is great. Nice Fretless from Marcus, and a lovely melodic solo in the middle. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W57v0t29_gw[/media] Title track [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiWY8naGyNI[/media] Garry

[quote name='RoRi' timestamp='1350323758' post='1837333'] Recommended; Lenny White "Streamline" (1978). [/quote] Not 'arf!

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1350145885' post='1835174'] slightly unfair [/quote] Just a bit of fun Mike [Nice playing on yours by the way] To be honest it's more about listening to peoples idea's and approaches for me This month and last months have thrown up some interesting stuff all round. I doubt if pitching for the right to choose a picture is high on any ones agenda... Garry

I like the LC Video [seen it before] Laurie is a great Musician all round. With this project, it is something he has wanted to do for a long time. I suppose it took time to get together, he is also a very good arranger with some great idea's. Sure, we have all heard that tune a skip load of times, but I enjoyed the Video for what it is - some very, very good Musicians on their game. Garry

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1350127709' post='1834846'] That's bloody great mate! Lovely quality recording too. Top work! [/quote] Thanks for that, it was fun to do - just got a New Cinematic/Orchestral library for Kontakt and thought i would give it a whirl. Garry

Had some time a couple of days ago, so thought i would give it a go. Gone down the edgy chaotic nonsense route. [url="http://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/heros-zeros"]http://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/heros-zeros[/url] Garry

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1350082550' post='1834517'] I slightly remixed mine and added some voice. That's it. [url="http://soundcloud.com/silddx/shltshoeriotface-i-ii-iii"]http://soundcloud.co...otface-i-ii-iii[/url] See if you can spot the Blackadder reference [/quote] Great stuff - I like the Acid trip vibe in the last section. Fourteen year old Urban kids playing " Moshi Pit Monsters" Some good tracks and ideas popping up again folks. Garry

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1349811940' post='1830956'] Decades ago, singers had to nail the songs, and musicians too. [/quote] You still do - If you don't, you wont get asked back. [This is if you are booked/hired as a freelancer] Bands paying for their own demo's/albums/tracks is a different matter, feck up as much as you want and maybe the engineer or someone producing [if you are lucky] might try and fix things for you after, but if you have run out of booked time it will cost you. Or of course you could take the Wav files home and fix it yourself. Garry

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1349699469' post='1829207'] I'm from 1976 I would not have a clue which manufacturer was doing good stuff in my year. [/quote] Hose pipe manufacturers. Garry

[quote name='pikeman' timestamp='1349687056' post='1828981'] How many of us use effects on our basses? Surely this is just the same. [/quote] Of course - the voice is an Instrument as well [In the right hands of course - Just like Bass playing] Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1349686702' post='1828971'] I got the arse because I was going to put vocals on it but needed a mic lead because mine had died and I don't want to have to go out and buy one this month and my compressor was arsing about and I couldn't get the guitar sound I wanted for the lead (which was a total botch anyway) and the drum sounds were sh*t so I compressed them and added some gain so the drums sounded great but the cymbals were too heavy and, somehow, in the wrong place and ..... You get the idea [/quote] You might find this handy...I know i does for me. It won't help you write notes and make you a million $'s, But it sure helps complicate matters.
