Updated! Your recordings need to be recorded as wav files, and then converted to 192kb/sec or 256kb/sec MP3 or OGG Vorbis files. OGG is preferred. Anything less than 192 will not be accepted. And for crissakes make sure it's 44.1khz, not 48!

Ok here's a new thread for us to focus on the actual collaboration and recordings. The planning thread is located here. To start out, here's the list of parts and people who have signed up and/or already contributed, and some resources you may need to play the song. This post will be updated frequently so keep an eye on it.

To download the original version of the songs click these Aqualung Cross-Eyed Mary

Here are the list of assigned parts, tentative contributions are in blue, so feel free to sign up for those as a backup.

Aqualung parts:
Guitar - Noname
Rhythm Guitar - Noname?
Bass - Aqualung
Drums - Bent Rabbit
Piano - Aristocrat
Vocals - meanceprimeaux (?), Bent Rabbit

Cross Eyed Mary:
Bass - Aqualung
Flute (or some suitable substitute) - Strings (?)
Drums - Bent Rabbit
Piano - Aristocrat
Guitar - Noname
Vocals - Reason's Gurl

We may also need somebody to do flute or some substitution, if Strings can't.


And here's the lyrics
Aqualung Lyrics
Spoiler for for lyrics:
Sitting on a park bench --
Eyeing ittle girls with bad intent.
Snot is running down his nose --
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes....Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run....Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck --
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck....Ohhh Aqualung

Sun streaking cold --
An old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
The only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
As he bends to pick a dog-end --
He goes down to the bog
And warms his feet.

Feeling alone --
The armys up the road
Salvation a la mode and
A cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
Dont you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, its only me.

Do you still remember
Decembers foggy freeze --
When the ice that
Clings on to your beard is
Screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea-diver sounds,
And the flowers bloom like
Madness in the spring.

Sun streaking cold --
An old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
The only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
As he bends to pick a dog-end --
He goes down to the bog
And warms his feet.

Feeling alone --
The armys up the road
Salvation a la mode and
A cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
Dont you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, its only me.

Deeeeeee dee dee deeeeeee....
Dee deeeee dee deeeeeee dee deeeeeee
dee dee dee dee deeeeee dee dee dee deeeeeeeee

Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see, it's only me

Sitting on a park bench --
Eyeing ittle girls with bad intent.
Snot is running down his nose --
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes....Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run....Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck --
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck...Aqualung

Whoa...Aqualung



and Cross-Eyed Mary

Spoiler for for lyrics:

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --
If he had a rich man in his hand.
And who would steal the candy
From a laughing babys mouth
If he could take it from the money man.
Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
But she always plays the game.
She dines in hampstead village
On expense accounted gruel,
And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung,
Who watches through the railings as they play.
Cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along.
Shes a poor mans rich girl
And shell do it for a song.
Shes a rich man stealer
But her favours good and strong:
Shes the robin hood of highgate --
Helps the poor man get along.

Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung,
Who watches through the railings as they play.
Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
But she always plays the game.
She dines in hampstead village
On expense accounted gruel,
And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

Cross-eyed Mary

Ohh Mary..Ohhh....Cross Eyed Mary


As of right now the drums for Aqualung are the only thing that has been recorded thus far, so here is a backing track to record to. When you record, please upload your file as a 192-256kb/sec MP3 or OGG Vorbis. Each time someone records a part, I'll do a quick mix to add it to the other parts recorded, and I'll upload that mix as a low-quality mp3 for the next person in line to use as a backing track. Please remember to record your track as a 192-256kb/sec MP3 or OGG Vorbis, and you may upload it here as an attachment.

Here's the Aqualung backing track for the next person in line. I think we should record the bass next, so Aqualung(the username, not the song), it's all yours.

Ihave a question for you, Mr. Man. I couldn't get the first bass measure again. Would you be able to edit that in (in which case I'll upload it now) or should I edit it (in which case it will up tomorrow)?

Also, I couldn't figure out how to get it to record stereo through my set up. I clicked record in stereo in my preferences in Audacity, and the right track is just blank.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not able to get the first bass measure again" Do you mean you skipped that part? You'll need to record the entire thing, I won't be able to "edit in" anything that's not there.

Mono files are ok. And I've updated the first post saying that recording need to be recorded as WAV's, then converted to either 192kb/sec or 256kb/sec and either mp3 or ogg vorbis.

Very nice and organized!

I'll have to work on this tomorrow. I'll be working on the main guitar. I may go poke around the pawn shops for a condenser mic so I can do the rhythm guitars as well. In the meantime, the position for rhythm guitar is still up for grabs for anyone who wants to take it. I could use a Condenser mic anyway. That. .and a PreSonus Firepod. . . and a Macintosh G5. (maybe later)

In the meantime, I've got a fairly decent means of recording some guitar parts with a very basic Shure SM57 -> Radio Shack cable and adaptor -> Mic input on laptop. Its primitive, but it will certainly work decent enough for this project.

I had a very silly idea about the flute. I dont want to take up half the project, but. . I was playing around with my guitar's tone knob, and actually figured out the flute parts to "Cross-Eyed Mary" on guitar. . .its pretty cool, rather convincing sound. I may record a bit of it tomorrow and see what you all think of it.

An ogg is a newer, much better form of compression. It outperforms mp3 by a longshot. I use Goldwave, which has the ability to convert to tons of different file types, including ogg vorbis.

Aqua, your bass track does not sync with the drums. I'm guessing you recorded to the original song rather than the backing track I posted? You need to be playing the backing track and record your bass as you play along and follow the backing track. Also, the first split second of your recording is you jumping right into the riff, but as you can hear in the backtrack, you're not supposed to come in until around the 7.50 second mark or so. But that's minor and fixable, although requires some effort. The main thing is the entire track not being synced up with the backing track. I'll need you to rerecord it, and this time around turn the volume down just a tad, you were clipping in a couple spots. (clipping is when the input level of the recording exceeds the maximum 1.0 and gets cut off, making an ugly noise sometimes). Thanks

Oh, okay. Sorry.

Ok, here's the second try. I hope it's satisfactory:

I hope when it's all done nobody will be able to tell the parts where I hit the wrong string/missed the string all together.


Eek! I seemed to be a bit off for some of it!

Actually you were way off, what you hear now is after I spent 2 hours editing it, stretching time, shrinking time, etc..

But don't worry about it because recording is tough when you're new to it, it takes a while to get used to. The main thing is that you're pretty synced with the drums now, once everyone records on top of you and Bent, it'll start sounding better as we add more tracks.

You're welcome to try it again if it'd make you feel better. I could easily put your new version in instead.

Yeah, okay, maybe I will. I'll try it again right now, but if it's not better, it's probably hopeless.

Ok take three. I hope this one syncs up better. It FELT better, but then again, I didn't realise I was so far off the first time.

Still way off...

Are you recording to the backing track I've provided in post #9? If so, why are you beginning 5 seconds late every time? And why when I remove that 5 seconds you're still jumping ahead of the drums or falling behind at different times?

If you're recording to the correct backing track, do this...

Record to the backing track, then open your mono wav bass track file, then "Copy" it. Open a new track in goldwave, select the left channel and "paste" your bass onto the left channel. Close the copied basstrack wav, leave the NEW file open. Open the backing track, hit "Copy", then close the backing track file, go back to the new file and select Edit-Channel-Select Right channel. Then click "paste" so that the backing track is now on the right channel.

Now you've got your bass exactly matched up to the backing track. And if it doesn't sync up, then you've messed up somewhere. Record a basstrack that matches up to the backing track, then upload the wav of the correct bass track (just the bass, not the file you create to make sure they line up) here please.

Because I have to push record on Audacity before I push play on the track. I can't push them both at once.

Well, since the second was just as bad, even though I thought it was spot-on, and I can't edit worth crap, I guess we'll just have to go with the off one.

Well, here I am. I'm working on finishing up the bass part. The biggest problem with it I see is that I don't know the whole song so a lot of it is just going by ear or whatever sounds like it'd fit. It's not the same as the original, but it's similar.

Also, I may be a bit off from the drumming in a few parts, but I try to correct myself, so it's really up to MM to judge it.

I'll upload it when it's done. Possibly tonight...err...this morning.

Zephyr, great job on the groove. You forgot to play the last half of the first little break, but I was able to edit that in for ya. Good job keeping with the drums.

Aqua, practice the Cross Eyed Mary bass and you can still get in the action.

Here is the backing track which is Bent's drums and Zephyr's bass on the left channel and the midi scratch on the right channel. We're now ready for some rhythm guitar, so NoName it's all yours. Don't forget to record as a wav and convert to a 192-256 mp3 or ogg.

Whoopsie. At least it was fixable. I can't wait to see how the whole thing turns out.

Yep. Zeph is a lot more experienced than I am at adjusting like that. On the other hand, if the Cross Eyed Mary drum parts get recorded along to the actual song, I will be able to play that one. It's just too hard for me when the tempo is different and all the time cues of the original songs are not reproduced in the midi version.

Yes, i will be doing the Cross Eyed Mary tracks to the actual song.... I only did the Aqualung Midi cause it allowed me to make a click track for the breaks (and make a drumless scratch). 'Mary' is more straighforward, so a click isn't as vital...

I've done one take in my 'spare time', but towards the end, the headphones slipped off and i dropped a drumstick... (ooops) I'm hoping to get a workable track by tomorrow tho...

Also, I can lend some vocals if they're needed.... I think I can still do a passable job on Tull

Sounds great, and again...very nice job on the Aqualung drums. Can't wait to hear Cross Eyed Mary.

I'll add you as possible vocals for Aqualung, thanks for offering.
