Hey there Justin ! I've got a little question for you...
For a while now, even before the NIN.com gift, I've been working on my own [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] . What I do is first find a good sounding audio bootleg, then overdub all the electro stuff with the multitrack files and I re-record some instrument parts, so it *almost sounds kinda like soundboard audio. Then I collect footage from all around the internet and I edit videos to it.
I've worked a lot on this and did almost the whole set before the gift came out. All my work is kinda obsolete now, but people are still thanking me and commenting my stuff, and I'm having so much fun that I'm keeping on anyways. Although now I'm only doing songs that haven't been played at the three released gigs to make it worthwhile.
I've been concentrating a lot on the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] for a while which is my favourite part of the show. I'm trying to restore the audio for 17 Ghosts II right now... You know, the main reason I'm able to synch my overdubs is the fact that you're playing to a click track... For that song though, it seems as though you're not using one. The tempo varies a lot during the beginning of the song, but when Trent starts playing the marimba, the tempo suddenly gets a lot tighter, around 77 BPM. Either the bootleg I managed to find was played without a click for technical problems or whatever, either you guys are playing it without a metronome or the click track only starts half way through... Think you could shed some light on this for me, so I can hopefully find a solution ? I really can't wait to get this song done, it's so beautiful !
And by the way, I've had a lot of fun trying to figure out your cool-as-hell God Given riff ! Couldn't get the bass to sound quite as good as you though
Thanks a lot !
