Oh definatley (to both things). Sometimes when i am playing if i try to sing at the same time, disaster strikes :o

But also, even though it may take longer, breaking up the recording into a few sessions (though it will take longer) will probably come out better in the end.

 

Though i am sure that you already knew that. :D

We did multi-track the recordings (pro tools). We laid the drum tracks down first, but without a metronome, just with everyone else playing along. I did a few other tracks for another band a few weeks later and used a metronome for them and found it much easier, so next time Coldplace record, i'm gonna use a metronome.

 

We'd only been together about four months or so when we did the demos and we've been together another full year now and so we're really wanting to record some more tracks coz we know we can do far better than the recordings we've done so far. Not that we're unhappy with the three tracks we've already done - we just know we can do better. I know that I, personally, could list a handful of inaccuracies with my drum tracks (crashes missing at the end of clocks, superfluous crashes in the scientist etc). Anyway, thanks to everyone for the positive comments about our demos - it's very pleasing :)

hey!

i'm also a piano-lover!

i just have a question: i once found on internet, and the link must be here somewhere, the coldplay notes for all the songs...so far no problem...but, when i play it with the cd (for example the scientist) it matchs with the singing but if i listen to the music it sounds awfully false, just if i were completely untuned, but my piano is tuned!!!!

so is chris playing on an untuned piano or what am i doing wrong?...

 

The chords u are playing are probably right. I think that the band tunes their instruments in a weird way for some of the songs. I get the same feeling when i play "Warning Sign" I think that they are tuned differently.

Just listened to some of your work @ Coldplace. Just a quick note' date=' the second arpegio-like sequence of clocks, you're playing the wrong set of notes. It should be c#, a# and f :)[/quote']

 

thanks for checking out the songs !! we had discovered the errors quite a while ago - the songs were recorded over a year ago and we've got loads better since. thanks for listening and noticing anyhow :cool: :cool: :cool:

So when are you coldplay ppl gonna update for us... i've been waiting a while to hear what you guys sound like now. I wanna hear your version of Speed of sound! :D

 

We've played Speed of Sound at a couple of gigs now and second gig we did most people said it was their favourite song of the night !! (take that you SOS dissers ! lol :lol: ). We're gagging to get in the studio again asap but can't afford it at the mo. SOS is one of the tracks we're gonna do though.

the chorus is G D B G / G D F# G and then repeat the to end chords on the bit when chris repeats when you can see then you understand, then it,s a D before it goes in to the drum part.
