Thanks Bruce- looks like you're showing off that good ear again :p
To be honest, not exactly sure what the chords are (I'm using different patterns than usual) but for the majority of it you're right. Glad that you agree they sound cool.

DW- THanks to you to bro!
Yeah, part of the problem with that particular pass at it was the timing, and after listening to this a few hundred times, the bass line is way too busy for the most part. I plan to redo the whole thing anyway, now that I've got someone with some for real talent taking an interest in it; she's our keys player at my old church, and a phenomonal one at that. It'll be interesting to see what she come up with for a melody line.
And your comment about getting back into the lower registers, I will- was just reusing another clip that was the same line over again. I may overlay them, I like the tonal quality of the higher register but it needs more kahunas, if you know what I mean.
Glad you agree on the tempo too, it felt a little dragging to me.

That's half the problem with this stuff; after you lay down all these tracks with five or ten variations of each part, it's tough to pick which ones to use. Mostly, I'm using the ones I made the fewest mistakes on And then changing the tempo, well, that's a whole 'nuther thang.
I've been too busy to use my 30 day trial Acid, so as soon as I get this one project for work buttoned up, I plan to spend a day on just getting used to that stuff. Hopefully before the trial runs out...

Feel free to "borrow" it, dude, build something off of it and let me hear it. I'm honored that you'd want to!

gotta go, duty and all that crap.......this is more fun, but doesn't pay the bills.

TY

Would you mind posting some of that last section (drums & guitar)(maybe 32 bars) without any bass?? Also, if you can, can you quantize the drum groove? If not, no biggie. I just wanted to convey an idea to you.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna steal it!!

Dave-
I'd be glad to, but it'll be a while....too busy with a project right now. Give me a day or three.

As for quantizing it, I'll give it a try, but Cakewalk is weak on that; especially if the tempo is off much at all.

Thanks for asking, tho, I'll do it as soon as I can get some free time.....one of the dangers of being self-employed, nobody to blame it on when something's late....

No prob. Take your time. No rush!

It's turning out to be an enjoyable project for you Tony.

This is why I love music. It's a beautiful thing to see and know the enjoyment that everyone gets from it.
