roscoe5 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Helix community, I could use some help. I am out of town away from my Helix and DAW preparing a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) class presentation for Autodesk University convention in Las Vegas, NV USA next week. I just found out that we can have a royalty free track playing while people walk in and sit down before the class. The title of the class is SIM20859: Crank Up Your Volumes: Revit-Enabled CFD. https://events.au.autodesk.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=20859 I would love to get a Back In Black(ish) instrumental with a simple drum track (plug-in is fine), bass and guitar using Helix, IR's...whatever. No fancy production, straight dry recording is fine. Doesn't have to be exact, perfect, etc. You can octave a guitar for the bass or electronic for all I care. People will be noisy coming in anyway. I will gladly paypal some cash (Is $50 okay? Not sure what to offer for this. But I would hope you wouldn't spend over an hour), give credit in the presentation to the artist, IR provider and Line 6 Helix, etc. The class is on Wednesday 11/16, but would like to have the track Monday if possible. Thanks in advance guys. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be hugely appreciated. I have an intro/bio in the presentation with musician mentioned. It will be a room full of a hundred or so engineers and architects, many of which I bet are techie musicians that would appreciate the Line 6 Helix tools and culture we have here.

roscoe5 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 http://www.karaoke-version.com Thanks! They do have an instrumental Back in Black karaoke track that would work. I contacted them about usage. Autodesk is pretty explicit about the royalty-free requirement, and this is my first class so I don't want to violate anything. I would be happy to use willjrock's track if he's game. Very cool of him to offer :) Im a fool for not thinking of this weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very early marshally sounding, which with the right IR, Helix does very well IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many compliments and appreciation from the class attendees and Autodesk product managers and developers. They said it was one of the best classes they attended at #AU2016, I truly believe having your track playing during walk-in and seating set the tone and fun atmosphere. I owe you one man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Oh, and worth mentioning that Glenn Delaune offered me some of his pre-recorded backing tracks too. So thanks to Glenn yet again for contributing. What a great community here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt that, but i could use a compliment today :P Next time a put a bit of effort into learning it a lil better. So, a pertinent question i guess - what did you think of the rhythm guitar tone? Care to comment on it? You cant hurt me, even if you thought it was the worst. IIRC it was the Whowatt 100 with BasketweaveG12M25s-421-ConeEdge-4in with my PRS directly into the Helix. Not a bad lil Marshall tone IMO.

Digital_Igloo Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Just know that if you use any incarnation of AC/DC's "Back In Black"—whether it's a karaoke or nose-flute version—you're still on the hook for royalties. Always check with the venue to see if they pay PRO (BMI and ASCAP in the US) dues. The OP seemed to ask for a soundalike, which I used to crank out all day, every day. Not for $50 tho! :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoe5 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Thanks for the input DI. I think we ended up with a nice approximation with lots of artistic and engineering freedoms...but @willjrock NAILED the guitar tone with Helix and IR's. It was a touch darker and deeper than standard, which I actually preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
