Gomen, I'll try to upload the audio later or tomorrow, there's an accident lately here in our house and it is really unexpected, hope you forgive me. I'll find time tomorrow for recording, and sorry if I didn't meet the deadline. Hope you understand

I'm very sorry guys, I've had no notifications from this forum at all, and had forgotten about this.

Kaori is right, I quit bass a little while back, and I don't have the equipment to record my part anymore I'm afraid.

What I will say is this:
Please don't rush to meet deadlines, because it will show in the final version, and the whole thing will seem rushed in the end. Take your time to get a good recording and it will pay off.

I'm friends with Mikan, and could ask him if he'd be interested in taking my place, or if anybody else wants to take over bass that's more than fine with me, as I can't physically do it myself anymore.

Again guys, sorry for the inconvenience.

Here's my video: https://www.mediafire.com/?ea15z3ba8wat9d9

@SourChicken: No worries. If you can't do it then we can always find somebody else. I think Kazuhide offered to play?

This is my first try, I'll try to re-record and record the video too.

I'll have my video tomorrow i think.. Sorry for being so late!!!

I can still do it... I'll just have to learn it over the next few days...   Happy New Year!~

im looking forward on ur cover guys... im so excited... Happy New Year... ^_^

I learned Kagen no Tsuki in 30 mins.!~ Video will be taken down in 3-5 days!

Example:


I didn't mix it... It's just an example to show that I know how to play the song... I did it in one take!  .smile.

Awesome that you learned it! But I couldn't listen to your example   Sony Entertainment usually takes down the video right away if you use their music. Can you post an mp3 of just you playing?

I'm so sorry that i haven't posted video yet .please. 
My camera has been broken and i can't take video .waaa. I'll try to fix it as soon as it's possible!!

The audio from the video is an MP3 file... I just don't how to post MP3's~  .omg.Should I remake one of just me playing it, with no song in the background?

I guess yes.. And you can upload only MP3 on MEGA or MF

hey guys, ive just got back from holiday

so who's going to take the bass part? 

oh and about the deadline thingy, i never meant to rush this project, (4 months deadline is surely no rush, to me). i just didnt want people to wait too long, and having a deadline gives us something to look forward to. 

if any of you guys are troubled with this, i sincerely apologize

Ok!  .smile.

For my video, I am not sure when to record since I can't move that well and head hurts. Sorry, I will find time as soon as possible if I got well. Dunno why everytime I Have a free time, there is always happening to me. Thank you!

okay here's the latest pre-mix

http://www.mediafire.com/download/edp1bhxp88qy129/kagennotsuki_premix03.mp3

you surely notice the noises that come in when Nikkasa and Mitchan are singing, its because the output of those 2 files are so low that i have to bump up the gain, so the background noises are automatically bumped up too. ive tried my best to get rid of the noises, but i think you still can hear them

by the way if no one's taking the bass, i can also do it

These noises is truly a problem...
It's not the final mix but I noticed some desynchronizations in vocals (1:26,2:01) and I think you should decrease the reverb effect for the lead. It's too much in my opinion

if we want to get rid of those noises, i suggest that Nikkasa and Mitchan retake the vocal parts with a better microphone. i got no problem with Kawaii's vocal, its clean.

yeah, i forgot to turn down the reverb bus on the guitars. my bad hahahah

and the desynchronizations are unavoidable, tried to cut and rearrange those certain parts but they sounded too...how do you describe it...'snappy'? 
and again, the solution is retaking the vocals for Nikkasa and Mitchan

oh and to Nikkasa, since youre doing Mami's part, you should sing her backing vocal parts in the chorus, not Haruna's/Timo's main vocal parts

honestly. I've noticed any noises xD and what's weird for me i repeated it more than 5 times xD I enjoyed listening to it .lol.
but if it's needed, i'll try to retake it with better mic! I'll try!  .uhuh.

It's not really a desynchronization but in those parts, one of the vocal sing like a little faster than the other. 
As you said, they should retake their part for those noises

to vocalists, make sure you turn off your air conditioner while recording your voice
try to avoid any background noise

The premix sounds pretty cool now with vocals and everything but there is a few points I'd like to express that worries me when I listen to it. (I know it's just a premix so see this as some sort of checklist towards a final mix)

• As earlier said, the reverb is clogging up much of the mix
  
• As earlier said, parts of vocals are out of sync and have noise.
  
• I can't seem to get any "stereo image" in my head while listening to this, everything seems to sit at the center or just slightly from the center (?) Try panning guitars to each side and layer them with buses or something like that.
  
• This might be because we don't have any bass yet but I feel like there is no low-end at all. The guitars should have some of it at least. The low end could have disappeared due to the excessive usage of reverb (depends on what you did with buses)
  
• Drums are pretty good, but other instruments are a bit dull.
  

Thanks for the great job so far! Looking forward to progress with this cover despite the little hiccups so far :D

i havent done anything with the mix yet, no EQs, no pannings,  i only messed with the volume sliders. the mix doesnt have any stereo image for sure, cause i usually mix in mono first to get the balance right, then snap it to stereo mode later. 
when the song sounds good in mono, it will sound better in stereo (something i learned from my mentor).


yeah the reverb, i forgot to turn it off before bouncing it, my bad hahahah

so who's taking the bass?
