LPA Monthly Mix-Up September: Acoustic/Unplugged

Could I use a Live perfomance as an entry? I mean a performance from our Acoustic cover show .

 

If I didn't hate acoustic instruments so much I might already be working on this. I do have planning underway, though. I may or may not need an MC.

 

Yeah, i saw. But, if he want to play it more accurate, There is.
Thanks, i've been around for a long time, but i decided to do an account.

Hahahaha, i didn't know astats had an account on LPA, sorry about that.

By the way, i think i will try something. i'm guessing Pushing me Away(summer sonic version), because i can sing it in key. i have an idea of use acoustic guitar, piano and maybe my voice.

 

Man this would be a lot easier with a singer helping me out lol. I'm thinking of doing an acoustic cover of either It's Going Down or I have not begun. Not sure yet which one.

 

I'm gonna do a bluegrass cover of Faint

Nvm I just rememered I don't have a band with 93744747565832929103983 members

 

The tab I had was accurate, it just didn't have the lead lines in the chorus tabbed out, which is fine because I think doing more guitar parts than I did would've over-complicated something that's supposed to be simplistic.

 

Does It's Goin' Down count? Cuz if so, thats a dope idea

 

I don't see why it wouldn't count, as long as it follows the basic guidelines of this month's competition.

 

It's Going Down is Linkin Park and the Xecutioners but it's still Linkin Park so I guess it should count, can any mods clarify if its allowed or not?

 

AttackTheMind set the bar REALLY high. Great job!

 

Ok, first off, I'm new here. Been registered for awhile but I havent really done anything . I have a few questions about the contest (which I plan on winning btw):

1. Do we have to sing? If so, lol, I won't even bother entering. Can we use an acapella track of chester/mike singing. There are many of those out there. If not, i can just use an instrument to do the vocals.

2. You said acoustic instrument...so if i plug my acoustic guitar into an acoustic amp and use a few of the built in effects like reverb and a hint of chorus.....how about that? I can just mic the amp instead. I'll probably mess around with the EQ a bit too on the amp. It's still considered acoustc, but maybe not unplugged.

3. Acoustic bass? I'm pretty sure thats ok, right?

4. I also have an electronic drumset. Not sure about this one, but I cant get an acoustic one because everyone in my house (neighbors included) will kill me. So, there is an excuse for that and if you allow a keyboard for those who dont have money/space for a proper piano, can't you allow this?

5. Sorry if this is getting too much, I'm kinda like the new LP style: edited and effected. Next up, about the vocal track if I'm allowed to use a premade one, can i edit it? As in use the time flex tool on garageband to draw out a few notes or add some effects to the voice. I have something tasty in mind for the catalyst, burning in the skies or unicorns and lollipops(i really want to turn this into an acoustic metal song! How br00tlz would that be).

Well, i know im probably demanding too much leniency but c'mon, every band/artist does this before putting anything out for the public. So, sorry if I pestered you. Please respond quickly so I can begin working on this.

Sorry for bothering you, and then I have to figure out how to use soundcloud.......

 

I'll try to answer your questions, JKHC.

This is a cover challenge, meaning you cannot use the band's vocals.

Regarding instruments usage, I think Derek summed it up best earlier:

Hope this helps.

 

So, an electronic drum set is fine right? I mean i'm still banging on drum heads (well, pads because its electronic) with drumsticks and it is a version of a real acoustic instrument. And piano is ok...but what about eq settings on the amp? Should I just leave everything at 12 o clock or can i fiddle with it?

Soooo sorry if i'm bothering you.

BTW derek, is that you in your pic (with mike?)

 

^^^^^^^ Lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is getting pretty OT but was it at a summit or meet and greet? I'm just under 16 so I'm not allowed to *most* LP concerts. And the ones i am allowed to go to are outside the US
