Peg Pile-on (songs forum edition)

ok .. we're going to do a pile-on cover of Steely Dan's "Peg" ... since
everybody sounded game ... so saddle up .. should be fun...

I put down keyboard bed tracks .. plus found midi for drums and bass....

please see:

http://www.onthemarkmusic.com/peg_cakewalk_forum/peg_cakewalk_forum_bed.cwb

This is the bundle file where you will import the MP3 file which you wish to use .. there are three:

all bed tracks:
http://www.onthemarkmusic.com/peg_cakewalk_forum/peg_cakewalk_forum_bed_1.mp3

no bass
http://www.onthemarkmusic.com/peg_cakewalk_forum/peg_cakewalk_forum_bed_1_no_bass.mp3

no drums
http://www.onthemarkmusic.com/peg_cakewalk_forum/peg_cakewalk_forum_bed_1_no_drums.mp3


import the mp3 file of your choice in the first track and then add your track(s) down below .. i've
put markers in at major points during the song. please track at 48/24 and with mono tracks if
at all possible. when done, export your .wav files and send me email at:

jeff AT onthemarkmusic DOT com

and i'll tell you how to FTP your .wav files to my site.

i'll assemble them all . Chaz was gracious enough to offer to mix it for us! ... should be fun,
jeff

ps: we'll do multiple versions if we have more than one instrumentalist on a particular instrument.

    Thanks, Jeff. With a little nudging I was able to get the original track to drop right, temp's right and everything.

    Note to others, I had to truncate at 1:01:028 and shift left to get it line up in sync, this is the usual mp3 front end gap.

    edit: offset is corrected

    for regular piano .. i have the PMI Bosendorder P290 .. which i use a lot ..
    but i like the sound of "The Old Lady" better for most usages. Also, the pianos
    which come with the Dimension synth in P5 are quite good as well.

    jeff
    ps: I still use the P250 yamaha piano the most though.....

    Wow, I forgot the tempo on this one. Seems a faster than the original tempo, but maybe not.

    Looking forward to mixing it. Maybe we can do a whole album full of SD tunes.

    the sheet i've got says 117.. so that's what i used... but that's maybe how they
    wrote it and did it different in studio.

    As I mentioned above, this is the exact tempo, I dropped the original into the project and just a wink and nudge and it lined up perfectly. I wanted to hear the original bass line to get some of the subtleties.

    Oops. My bad. I quickly skimmed through the posts and missed it, Ed.

    It just seemed a bit faster than what I had remembered. Then again, now that I am older, things seem to be faster now that I am slower tempo-wise.

    BTW.... Do you guys want me to use the Chaz-meister flare when mixing the tracks or stay true to the original mix?

    I hear that. That bass line is faster than I remembered it too!

    Ed you sure about this?

    I had to truncate at 1:01:028 and then slide left. Lines up perfectly with the click. I even bounced PingDXI to an audio track so i could check it visually.

    Am I missing something or is there a typo in your post?

    I am interested in doing horns. However, the next few days are definitely not doable. Obviously, since our band does this tune, it would not take me long to lay down a quick sax part. To do a full section--and do it right--however, would require more time. I'm trying to balance some priorities, so lemme think about it, ok?

    I know - I always have an additional question!

    But, what's our goal here? Are we just doing a copy? (Chaz made me question it with his question about mixing.)

    Dang, now I gotta re-learn that solo!

    Is it just me? I've unpacked the bundle twice, and even though my default is set to 48 KHz / 24-bit, the bundle opens as 44.1 / 16.

    We've agreed to do this 48 / 24, right?

    Actually... the bundle is empty except for a tempo map and markers.

    Import the tracking beds of your choosing at 48/24, truncate the clip(s) beginning to 1:01:028, and slide the clip(s) all the way to the left to line up with the click.

    Track away.

    True, Steve! But, when I open it, I see my Sonar status bar change from my default 48 / 24 to 44.1 / 16. And, of course, if I import after that, I'm at 44.1 / 16. I'm still on 3.1.1 PE, so maybe that's an older behavior, but that's what's happening.

    Actually, at this point, I have my project all sorted out, and set up at 48 / 24 (it was simple enough to just start fresh) -- I just wanted to confirm with everyone that that's what resolution we're working at.

  • Check to insure new project defaults are set to 24/48
  • Open the CWB
  • Save it as a CWP before importing audio
  • Close and reopen the CWP to apply the project defaults

    You are now at 24/48 and ready to import and track.

    actually, since the audio track doesn't contain anything, i believe it will default to whatever your settings
    in the "Option->Audio" dialog are set to. if i'd have thought about it more, i should have included the click count
    as in the bundle as an audio track and then it wouldn't have been a problem .. but .. i was trying to save
    download time for people.

    I thought it was a good idea.

    I learned some things from this approach.

    Hey guys...
    I downloaded the all beds track, but with my geetar freshly tuned to A 440, I'm not in tune with the track...
    Has anybody else noticed this or is it something on my end?

    RLD,

    I haven't noticed the tuning discrepancy, and the .mp3 I used seems to be in tune with the original recording (which I also imported, for reference, into my project).

    Hey, man, let me know what you're going to do on this, and I won't work so hard!

    Hmm, well, I'm already "fixed," but the only thing I didn't do (per your list) was to close the project and re-open it, before importing anything. Maybe that would have done the trick; but it wasn't a major issue, regardless.

    So, the answer must be, "Yes, M, 48/24." That's all I was really after!

    But, thanks!

    I was thinking about putting a costomized 32nd note solo over 60% of the song....
