Hey, thank you much for the comment, feedback. One day I might actually believe I’m any good at all, lol…
Anyway, your question:
The “Fork” was a *different track - so, that last one I posted; I guess it was yesterday : )
His track as was, is always linked and cited back to him if on the BandLAB platform. The link is right there. But again I’ll comment - if one offers a track for “Forking” off from, while it is yours entirely, it’s theirs as well - period - that’s the agreement for CR and etc. But, again, is always, if on BandLAB cited and linked back. They (BandLab) - are pretty “hardcore” about getting music “created” - period - their primary driver - it’s about the music, period. And so, this “Fork” paradigm got introduced. It’s pretty unique - but, I go on to much - and don’t do that much of it unless need a shift away from “my” stuff.
So his track:
So, actually, if one can’t “tell” what I did - mission accomplished : ) lol…
- his track offering has some Stems in it, (if BandLab puts one out, it’s fully dry and all individual and all same level as NOT “eq’d” as possible, on purpose - usually offered within a “challenge” of some kind, so to speak). Anyway, his track, was not really broken out, all seperated.
He is an extremely accomplished musician - and my “story” on this track I asked first (last year) - if it was all him since I don’t do “Forks” unless know the origin, who, what, where etc. In his account (and hard to scroll down through the, like “FB” stacking of posts to infinity - after a week you could not find anything in that linear stacked one on another of years of postings…) anyway, in his account one can catch the ad hoc video of him playing “stuff”.
I kind of went through that at one time and started to post stuff with “me” playing all the different instruments I hack away at - or used to - it goes in cycles; I did allot of drumming, now, eh, I kind of suck at it since got glued to other for to long a time, possibly. But, suckage comes and goes… didn’t know’em when I learned’em so… (kind of annoys my drummer friends - I don’t practice - and kind of muscle memory my way back to “functional” : ) hahh!..) But, I go on to much…
So, I:
- added electric guitar, a Epiphone DOT I just finally got sorted out after finding it again in the pile : )
- added electric bass, a short scale, fretless, “SX” with DiMarzios in it (a kind of hard to play bass since the shorter scale has no forgiveness concerning intonation, and being fretless - one can only blame me for any sour notes
- I did remix it… how he got to know me - asked for “mix” evaluations that worked for him. But me, I way more Left, Right and even manually Crossfade and way more Hz separations, the EQ has far less mids emphasized; I also doubled a few accent points (he’s using Rain and of course drums as thunder accent - so punched that up a tad).
I have not heard back from him yet - found out, as I said, he’s not well and doing his music in a non-optimal way. It’s ironic he’s only a town away too - funny how the “Net” works.
I’m sorry if this track and the other somehow got munged as both a/the Fork - but, no - this is from an archive of “save it and get back to it” stuff I been browsing through to “do”, proceed with. It is just so weird how, even 8 years later, while context has changed - still “fits” some how for me. Well, my music would be timeless - for “me” lol!! if not anyone else.
So, derUgo! : )
