hey y'all, feeling really not confident vocally to do my own vox on Crosswords, feelin like i just can't do them justice. i know that's like the last one we need before we can send it off, is anyone down to do vocals? i can send an instrumental tonight

dud · Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 02, 2014 12:20 am

i would do vocals but i know nothing about technology lol... would i be able to record vocals thru my built in mic on my mac, or would that sound shitty? if it'll sound shitty then i'll pass, i'd wanna do your cover justice, seeing as that instrumental snippet sounds so cool!

if you get close enough to the mic it'll sound alright but a bit tinny. used that for a while before buying a mic. your choice, though!

send it and i'll give it a shot! if it sounds shitty i'll scrap it lol

this is soOoOoOo good

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 02, 2014 5:01 pm

I finally got around to listening to most of this thread and you guys make such fucking good covers. A lot of these are really really on point

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:36 pm

guys let's finish this thing off!! Album drops for realz in like a month and a half.

dud · Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:46 pm

i sent meysell my vocal track, and once his cover is done (it sounds like it is 95% there) then there are no more pending covers so there's no reason not to send everything!

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2014 12:06 am

yeah, i got vocal tracks from dud and hybrination, think another set is coming in so we'll have two or three vox to choose from because they're all too good to throw out. should have them up tomorrow. we're done folks!

dud · Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2014 12:09 am

yaaay lookin forward to it!

nah i thought my mic would be alright but there's some weird corruptions going in in it. doubt i'll fix it in time, you carry on with the other vox

Cool yeah you did a great job with the instrumental! Maybe you could just overlay our vocals or something else creative with it so it's only one version. Your call though.

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2014 12:58 am

Use all the vocals at once! That would be cool.

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:44 am

^yea I was thinking that too!

dud · Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2014 6:07 am

ooo yeah meysell, you could either use both vocals at once, or you could have the first section be one of us and the second section be the other, since the vocal part repeats! that'd be cool too

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 03, 2014 6:37 am

Hey guys
22 or so is fine by me .
I'll do my best !
Don't rush . Be happy ! Petek

or quickly alternate between vocals and get a boys latin-esque effect going

OKAY, it's done! here's "Crosswords" - WAV at the ready whenever y'all are too!

dud · Post **Posted:** Fri Dec 05, 2014 8:45 am

whoa great job! i like whatever you did to the harmonies and the echo-y stuff in the second half. added to the list

Post **Posted:** Fri Dec 05, 2014 6:21 pm

so good! you nailed those drums!

Post **Posted:** Fri Dec 05, 2014 6:43 pm

Sweeeeeet! I love how the vocals sound, very cool intro too

Post **Posted:** Fri Dec 05, 2014 10:32 pm

wow that's great, i love the slight updates you made to the instrumental. i also love what you did in the second half when u brought in dud's vocals for harmonies! sounds great! lol i kinda wish u had more of dud throughout the first part to mask my screw ups. maybe im just rly harsh on my own vocals tho. but this is ur baby, and im honored to simply have taken part in it, awesome job all around.

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 6:33 am

The timing on the bass synth part sounds off a lil tho

looks gud dud!

dud · Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 8:39 pm

now how do we send this all to sonic, i'm guessing he needs the original files not just the soundcloud links, right?

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 8:50 pm

yeah, he'll need some lossless files - i guess we just wait on his word now?

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 8:53 pm

yeah i guess best thing would be to collect them into one file and send him that, but with lossless files that will be huge, dunno the best course of action here?

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 8:54 pm

can a CA google drive account hold all of the lossless files?

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 8:59 pm

yeah i'd think so. I think they give you 10 gigs for free. or everyone could send their wavs to whoever is organizing this (looks like dud?) and they could zip em up and just put em up on mediafire and send that to sb?

dud · Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 9:51 pm

1. i know nothing about this kind of stuff, so i definitely want someone else to take over at this point, i just compiled that list

2. i feel like not that many people check this thread anymore (including people that have contributed), so maybe we could get a mod/admin or whoever on board to make a stickied post at the top of the forum that says 'if you submitted a cover for CAVSGR, send your loseless file to ______ by (date)!' and then that person can send the stuff he receives to sonic in one big folder

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 06, 2014 10:20 pm

we could make a shared Dropbox folder and make it kind of a submission box - seems easy enough!
