I think it's normally really low volume too.

http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/508/616/01f.jpg

Tone starts at 8:48 on bass.

Really just want to know how this "Weeping Bass" tone is achieved. Sort of a jazzy sound to it. Sounds like a lot of vibrato, and really mellow volume swell almost.... idk.

I don't really need a tone for the game per-say. Just some advice on how someone would achieve a similar bass tone. Closest I can get is going crazy with left hand vibrato.

Please message, quote or mention me if responding so I will receive a notification, ty.

I'm going to be doing Scarred and Lifting Shadows of a Dream. Starting Scarred now. And yes, these will be the first 6-string bass customs  :twisted:

Nvm, Looks like Nacholede beat me to it. There will be a lot of 6-string bass coming from me, if anyone even owns one around here.

This is a great idea.

@@TheBestAlex,

 

  Did you define the time signature in EOF for this project ?

 

  Can you generate the DD again and send to me the log file of the DDC process ("Generate log" checkbox in the DDC tab of the Toolkit) ?

 

Thanks

No, I've messed with Time-sigs in here before, but I never really ended up using them anymore. I didn't know they had much significance. Okay, I selected generate log, where does it save to?

If deleting a topic is a thing, please do so. I am not an active community member any longer and the formatting of this page was completely wrecked on an update or something I suppose.

I actually wanted that the way it looks. The problem is the unpitched slide vanishes when ddc is applied. And sometimes even the blue 5 (the fret note after the unpitched slide) dissapears, but the sustain is visible. It happens only with ddc. And I've tried all sorts of different phrase combinations and lengths for that section and it always ends up taking the unpitched slide off.

Thanks so much for all these amazing songs!  I just downloaded a bunch and will post any comments as necessary.  But we are so grateful for all the hard work!

Thank you, I always like to hear from the community.

Switched to Dropbox. I've never had problems with Mediafire though.

The "linknext slide" in this photo keeps exporting with the slide missing and sometimes the 5th fret on the "blue string's" note will be missing as well, but the sustain will still show.

Any ideas, I'm sick of testing things.

With these phrases using normal DDC generator it exports with no slide at all. When I generated DDC with no phrases every other slide was missing. All other techniques and slides were fine in the song and there are a lot. Does it have to do with the long sustained linknext note?? maybe?

EDIT: This is another 5-string bass song I'm trying to wrap up  :twisted: 

Below is a link to some Rush tabs I have.

I got them from a random torrent a while back - so no promises as to their quality, but maybe they can speed the process of this discography up a bit.

Thanks, I'll check them out

UPDATE

I know it's been awhile, but work on Lessons is almost complete and The Trees is done I believe, just need to pack it. Just released Halo by Porcupine Tree and will be doing more. Updated my Workshop above.

Close to finally releasing a song, probably tomorrow (today) and a bunch of others are close. I'm considering some new songs and am thinking of working on bringing some more Porcupine Tree to the Forge! Once I get all this Rush released I'll probably start working on something else if time permits.

Update: May not release anything today, but I assure you a lot well be seen coming from me within the week.

TheBestAlex:I wrote: UP TO 50 hours but sometimes 100 hours (if working several times for example when I work on 3th or 4th version it takes in total about 100 hours sometimes to create all the versions and play them all, testing).NONETHELESS: I AM NOT PERFECT, SO THERE ARE FOR SURE MISTAKES TOO :lol:kaos00723:"Dawn Appears" - I will try to create it in the future, it may be lot of work with it. I will try to make this custom in July.

Haha, yeah. When it comes down to it, I probably spend a lot more time than I think on one custom. I'm always trying to get the bass parts as perfect as possible.

Jeeze, you have 120 customs and you're tellin' me you put 50-100 hours on each one! That's crazy, you must have the most perfect customs then. Guess I'll have to check them out if anything sparks my interest.

Xanadu is an absolute nightmare.... somebody, save me! I hate this song.... I hate it!

UPDATE: Basically this song is slightly sharp do to the fact that it was sped up to fit the record (or something). My solution was to find a way to restore the track to standard pitch (the way it was originally recorded). The end result turned out great, but now I had to re-sync the whole beat map, ugh!

Too far to quit now.

The bass is all synced, but now I have to fix all of the errors and missing notes/wrong notes and missing slides/grace notes. Still have to import guitar, hopefully the guitar was written well.

Somebody did Locomotive Breath

I'd love to do some more DT customs. I'm swarmed with Rush atm though. Plus all the DT i've done has already been posted.

Oh cool, I didn't know this existed, thanks. I'm working on The Trees, Lessons, Fly by Night (song), and The Main Monkey Business.

OUT OF SERVICE :{

I focus on Progressive genres and I like getting bass charts as accurate as possible.

Works in Consideration:

* = will be doing

Update: (last June 8th, 6:27 PM)

When making suggestions, I want people to keep in mind that my time is limited. When making choices I will always gravitate towards a song with a fun/busy bass line, thanks.

This list probably looks like shite unless you're using Google Chrome. 

This is a great community. Far surpasses Smithy Anvil. The database is a very important tool and with 4k songs is needed. I'm happy to be involved in bringing awesome songs to that growing list. Congratz!

Thanks. That's better than what I came up with. I thought that was a pinch harmonic, but I can barely play a pinch harmonic, so I just posted this video lol. Thanks for such quick help!

It's the little guitar part at 0:43. Right before the chords.

I have a good idea, but being that I can't really play guitar well makes it harder to figure out.

Thanks
