GUARDIANS OF THE GROOVE " LIVE"

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO MY FUNK BAND "GUARDIANS OF THE GROOVE".
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE REQUESTED TO HEAR MORE "LIVE DICARLO" TRACKS, SO HERE YOU GO.
THIS IS WHAT I DO WHEN I`M NOT WORKING IN THE STUDIO. :D

ONE OF THE BEST FUNK BANDS I`VE EVER HEARD OR HAD THE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.
THIS IS AN EDITED VERSION, OF THE 20 MINUTE VERSION.

HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. :D

BAND MEMBERS.

CRAIG BURTON; LEAD VOCAL, TONY HURDLE; TROMBONE, FUASI ABDUL KALIQ; SAX, DANIEL; TRUMPET, ARENO ANNUKU; GUITAR, RAMANI KRISHNA; 7 STRING OVERWATER BASS, SAMBA SOCK; PERCUSSION, DICARLO; DRUMS

RECORDED LIVE WITH WAVLAB ON A NOTEBOOK IN STEREO BY THE SOUNDMAN JULY 2005.

MASTERED BY DICARLO FOR ONLINE MIXING AND MASTERING.COM

NOTE; THIS IS JUST A TEST MASTER.
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ORIGINAL MIX WASN`T THAT GREAT, AND THE DRUMS AND BASS WERE RECORDED TOO LOW, I HAD TO WORK WITH THE EQ`S TO GET THE BASS AND DRUMS UP TO A DECENT LEVEL.
THIS WAS A DIFFICULT PROCESS, BECAUSE THE HORNS AND THE SNARE DRUM ARE NEARLY THE SAME FREQUENCIES, SO IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO BRING UP THE SNARE WITHOUT EFFECTING THE HORNS, ESPECIALLY THE TROMBONE.
BUT I MANAGED TO BRING BOTH THE BASS AND DRUMS UP TO WHERE THEY SOUND PRETTY GOOD.
I REALLY WISH I COULD HAVE MIXED THIS, BUT YOU CAN`T PLAY DRUMS IN A BAND AND MIX AT THE SAME TIME. :D LOL

HAVE A LISTEN, EVEN IF YOU DON`T REVIEW IT, BECAUSE IT`S A GREAT BAND!!!!!!!!!! :D

<p>The new flasjh players are installed on the Projam Theme. They are also included on the offsite links that you will find on the Projam, Cobalt and Sage Themes. Anyone not on those themes, it is really suggestested you move to the newer themes! We are working out a few bugs still but they are good to use.</p><p>The Code Snippets in Projam now have the players listed if you want to use them on myspace. </p><p><font color="#ff0000">**Update**</font> I just changed the snippets on Sage and Cobalt to now have the new players. The iPod style flash player will remain on the side of the page but the snippets will be the new players. </p><p>Example </p><p><a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://imusicscene.com/index.php?t=audio_player&band_id=10&song_id=1807','iMusicScene','width=520,top=0,left=0,resizable,scrollbars,height=210'); return false;">Instrumental Jam</a></p><p>and MySpace/Tagworld you can choose between the two... http://www.imusicscene.com/myspace.html </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have posted one of the new players on your MySpace or Tagworld site, please post a link on here.

Hi All

Well, I think its about time we had another guitar jam. I've uploaded a track for all to post their musings on, called 'Along came a jam'.

So come on fellow guitarist, come and have a bash! Its a great way to let off steam and hear some different ideas. I've already done mine!

<p>Just wanted to update everyone on the popup players. On the Projam Theme the links are done. On your song page, just click the <em>i </em>and you will see the 4 boxes. The first 2 I think I am going to remove. Those use the listeners player of choice. The bottom two will be the HTML or BBCode links for forums that do not allow HTML. I would always suggest using the HTML link if possible. Here is an example using Chrickon&#39;s song. I actually sent an email to Michael Molenda from Guitar Player Magazine to listen to this tune for his article.</p><p> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('http://imusicscene.com/index.php?t=audio_player&band_id=29&song_id=4668','TestWindow','width=350,top=0,left=0,resizable,scrollbars,height=350'); return false;">Energy - for Rob</a>. </p><p>The Sage and Cobalt themes have the links as well but I am going to play with them a bit more since I do not like how they are setup yet. </p><p>I should have new Flash Players this week so the iPod player will be replaced a nicer one with links to the site and your artist page. </p><p>Hope you guys like this feature! </p><p>Dazed</p>

This new collab with Rapster has a bit of history to it. I've set it out in the info section if you're interested in reading it. It's based on a short "news article" I found in a Murdoch rag in the mid 70s. I part finished writing it, then abandoned it as it was appearing likely that it would take about 10 minutes to complete the story.

Pulled it out of the drawer last year and came up with the idea to add a rap section to speed the storytelling up a bit. Rapster (Joey) agreed to join in and to do the rap sections, adding some additional words of his own.

The track was mastered by Di Carlo who did another fantastic job on this. This is the third track that Di has mastered for me and his work has on each occasion been top-rate. Not only is his work of a high standard, but his prices are very, very competitive. Thanks again, Di. It won't be the last time I use you, bro.

Thanks, Joey for being involved in this and for waiting patiently (ok, maybe at times not all that patiently) for me to post it.

Hope you enjoy it.

<p>Well the last time we did the Same Song Title Madness. This time I thought we wold try something different. </p><p>Carol Douglas posted in the <a href="/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&amp;t=11812">Forum</a> about someone working on some lyrics she posted. I thought it might be fun to have everyone work with them and see what kind of songs we could come up with. So instead of the Same Song Title Madness, we have the Same Lyric Title Madness. As always, vocals are not required but try and make the lyrics work with the song. If you are not a singer, maybe someone will want to add vocals on your tune later! </p><p>Let&#39;s put a due date on here of May 10th but please post the songs when you are finished!</p><p>Dazed&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Finished my 3rd Music Video. Posted here.
There's too much "me" in it, but other than that...
