   Does anyone know if there is a simple app on a iMac pro to record? I have Garage Band but it seems to be quite complicated and I've never used it before. ta!

   TBH, from what I can gather, Garage Band is about as simple as it gets. It would be less hassle to watch some tutorial videos and read the manual than to try and find another application. All music applications have a learning curve, and Garage Band will be about as shallow as it gets.

   I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would help you with this on the forum (i'll help as much as I can, but i've not used Garage Band)

   Cheers,

   simon - i used Garage band for mine. it is very easy

   you can just drag the backing track MP3 from itunes into Garage band as one of the tracks

   then use an additional track to record your guitar

   Yup, me - many apologies, had a bit of faffing with mixed recording/mp3 yesterday (ie they shouldn't have been). A minor bit of cack-handedness remaining to fix when I get in and I'll upload/post here.

   (I need to check what quality it's been exported with, it's default at the mo, whatever that is)

   As mentioned, backing on one side, guitar on t'other. I'm in all evening so please post if there's a problem.

    Now you tell me

    Re the fave guitarists thing, it's something like (in no order except mebbe the order I came across 'em):

    Alex Lifeson, Ted Nugent, Angus Young, Uli Roth, Pat Travers, Al Di Meola, EVH, Randy Rhodes, Vivian Campbell (Dio era), Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert (does quite a heavy version of a Paula Abdul tune !), George Lynch, Nuno Bettercourt..

    ..with liberal helpings in various years of John McLaughlin, Neil Schon (good call Plumb !), Joe Satriani, Alexi Laiho, Dimebag, Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine (oh, and the dodgy couple from that 'other' band), plus Trower, Gallagher.

    I guess that'll do for the moment !

    Is this still open to submissions?

    I can try and get some sax down over the weekend?

    Posted 2 years ago #
17. muddy_bum - Member

    Actually I could probably be quicker than that.

    Wish it really was Friday..

18. guitarhero - Member

    Some sax would be good, hoping to get it finished Wednesday night.

    I do have the goatee, but not on steroids, it annoys mrs hummerlicious when it gets too long!

    Mrs Jond took a while to get used to mine (had a shorter version for years), but has since realised it's a huge source of amusement on passing small children..they frequently exhibit a 'wtf is that ?' moment

    @jond - Had to do a double take there and read back up a bit 'til I realised what you were talking about!!!!

    @guitarhero - roughly what time should I open the blues beer?

    Posted 2 years ago #
22. guitarhero - Member

    All pieced together now. Spent about 6 hours on it today so ears are dead, so final mix tomorrow. Sorry dude. Crack that beer anyway though.

    I've really enjoyed following this (am not a guitar player though) and thanks to guitarhero for getting it off the ground. Please do it again.

    I enjoyed putting this together. Really impressed by the contributions.

    @CG Was hoping the sax was going to show up in time too. If the clip appears, maybe I could do a 12" remix.

    @plumber. No tapping mate. I'm pretty pants at tapping so generally don't bother.

    Good work everyone, I really enjoyed doing that

    Thanks for sorting it all guitarhero, I think you may have played more notes than me, I shouldn't have restrained myself so much

    Posted 2 years ago #
33. stratobiker - Member

    Wow! Great playing from everyone, and superbly mixed over an ace backing track by GH. Well done everyone. I invite you all back to mine for beers.

    @guitarhero - superb job. I'm well impressed with the mixing. It sounds totally professional. Which it should 'cos you are. Thanks for all your hard work on this one. Good Karma.

    @plumber - thanks I thought everyone played just great. Difficult to pick between them.... though I shall certainly be studying them all closer and stealing a lick or two.

    Could we have a virtual photo shoot of the players?

    I would be happy to mix it over some video if everyone sent me a pic/vid/whatever.
