"Heads Up, Mouths Shut!" is now released! This is a project I started 4 days ago on Monday. This album is an accurate all instrumental version of Death From Above 1979's notorious debut "Heads Up!" EP.
I learned all the bass, synth, and drum parts by ear, then recorded and mixed them myself. When I was recording the bass, I used my fingers, not a pick, and used Amplitube 3.0 for amp modeling. the synth parts were recorded on my microKORG direct into Presonus Studio One. the drums were programmed by me using EZ Drummer.
Take a listen. If you like it, you can download it for free in various audio formats.

Silent Death From Above

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Pelham, AL | | | thanks guys! as far as the bass gear, I used my bass and my computer. ha. Amplitube 3.0, to be specific. here's a break down of the signal.
Warmoth Jaguar Bass (p-pickup solo'd) played with fingers into M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio interface
into ->
a bi-amped channel for the distortion/mids/highs:
acoustic 360 (fuzzed engaged)- Ampeg PB-212H cab - digital rack chorus+parametric EQ
acoustic 360 (fuzz disengaged)- Ampeg BXT-410H cab - digital rack chorus+parametric EQ
into ->
post amp EQ'ing
plus a second channel for the clean lows:
Ampeg SVT-4 Pro - SVT-410H. no further modifications to this signal.
all that, x2. one is mixed in the left channel, one is mixed in the right channel. I believe I spent around 4-5 hours tweaking the tone as close as I could manage.

We're going to start out trying a couple of tunes from "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine". "Going steady" and "Pull Out" maybe "Blood on Our Hands" but I don't know if I've figured that one out well enough yet. I play this stuff with my fingers too. I tried with a pick but I don't usually use one and it was just way easier to play a lot of his riffs with my fingers. Good stuff mang! |
