It is nice to hear that ur exams also got over. :D So i think Jim also not doing much. So once Sara is ready we can all go ahead.

But one question still remain, do we need a bass player or not?. Please everyone decide on that before we start.

you really need bass in there somewhere.

we practiced tonight without our bass player and there#'s just no low end even with 2 guitars coming through marshalls into 4x 12s.

It'll just lack something and it might not be inherently noticeable as to what it is, ie people may not automatically go hmmm there's no bass in that, but people will know there's somethign not right about it.

ofcourse we need bass, but if there's goona be a bass player, its gonna be really hard to record the songs, cause someone new joins the band, so there's always someone more that u should explain them about chords, keys..etc... now that its only me and sara we got lots of problems...

what do u think jim if i use a pitch effect to make a bass-like sound with my guitar???

well it's not going to be bang on and might sound a bit flabby and I find you don't get a good thump to go along with it

BUT most untrained ears won't particularly notice and we can hide it in the mix well

If Arash can mange then it would be better thing really coz it will save lot of time. :)

And if that idea doesn't workout and we really need a bass player then we look for one. What u guys think?

it will take lots of time if we gonna have another member, i dont really know what we should do.... :?

If Arash can do it, I say we don't get another member. It'll take longer, and it isn't REALLY needed.

That what i meant. If u able to manage it then we don't have to think about hiring anyone really. Lets see the final result and then we see.

arash or i could do it...
ive been playing with the software ive got at the moment while waiting for the house to be sorted...

im using cakewalk home studio pro 2002 and sibelius 2 in case anyone is interested. also got cubase around somewhere

So where are we on recording? Is everything set up?
