Musicians in OT.. check this out

BTW- We'll need the drum track first, then the bass.

What key do we want to go for? A, B, C, D, E???? If we're going to have any brass would could do F or Bb.

We should start with something simple- maybe a I-IV-V blues? We could arrange it so everyone plays is straight on the first bar, then each person can take a solo.

Yes we definitely need a base drum track.. just the rhythm really and then the drummer can add more stuff later once a bass line and guitar rhythm have been laid down. We just need a basic idea of the song structure.

:thumbsup:

I'm all about the bluesy tones.

I'm down for whatever, I think it would be awesome to be really progressive and move into different genres and what not but a nice blues number is a good way to get our feet wet so to speak.. pretty braindead to get going and might get people used to the project

I'm also down for whatever, but we should definitely start off with something basic -- 12 bar blues, etc. I don't know what genres the people listed are in interested in though. I would think starting off with blues would be a safe though.

 

[zinfamous]

I can play a mean Jaw harp

 

[Fritzo]

If we can't get a rhythm track down, I should be able to generate a few. I'm magic like that

Also, we'll need some roolz! How about:

Play along with the rhythm track, and record your part as a separate MP3 file. That way we can track each solo separately and easily add/remove them from the song.

I can make one too pretty easily, just wanted to get some ATOT drummers in the mix

I have to get at it. Although schoolwork is dominating me right now.

I was thinking one upload with your part in the song and one upload of your part separately, sound good?

 

[TechBoyJK]

I can play guitar, bass, sequence drums, record vocals, etc.

I have a decent recording setup.

I've got some demo stuff at myspace.com/dirtyjason (serenade was popular on atot when i first posted it)

We could do that. I'm in a Bm feeling kind of mood...anyone else?

 

[Platypus]

I'll play anything, doesn't matter to me

I can dig it.

I'm up for it... Someone give me a drum track and we'll do some Bm 12-bar blues.

He only lives around 45 minutes away from me... maybe I should drive down there and rough him up

 

[mushroomx]

put me down for guitar

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

I'd be down for this... I'm a drummer first, but I can jump in on the other three if need be...

However, I'm an active musician already so I'd have to treat this like a side project behind my band IRL and my day job. But I like the concept!!!


Also.....
What we going to use to record with? Analog, digital, PC? Also, how will the files be transferred? Raw projects, mixdowns, other??

P.S. I have Cubase VST and Cakewalk Sonar 6 Pro as far as digital/PC goes w/ a decent Tascam controller. I could perhaps lend to the post-production editing too (time permitting of course)

Let's plug in and rock!!!

 

[Platypus]

I think most DAW software can handle aif/wav or mp3 so I figured one of those would prob work, I always mix my stuff down from AIF to mp3

 

[MartyMcFly3]

I record my stuff as mp3

That works. I've got software to convert between virtually any type of audio file you can come up with, but at some point there needs to be a standard for submitting the tracks back to the "collective".

I guess a good approach would be to have two pronged method for submitting work back. First have people just submit the individual track they've recorded and then have them re-submit a mixdown track so that way there is flexability umongst the group.

On other words, if you've got 10 different guitarists cutting 10 different lead parts all mixed down together it could get pretty bad pretty quick. On the other hand if the tracks are kept separate, then we can all sample each others work and just download the backing tracks we want, cut our own track and then upload both the track and the mix.

You know, like host it somewhere and make separate folders for Drum tracks, Guitar, Bass, etc., and then have a separate folder just for mixdowns. Everyone records their own part separately and uploads and then everyone else picks and chooses their own combination of everyone elses track for backing.

We could have 50 mixdowns of the same song all with a different combination of tracks and at the end everyone votes for the best combination!!!

Am I rambling???? I know... I'll just shut up and color now.... I'm getting too carried away with this!
JR..

That sounds exactly like what I had envisioned and would allow us to work with a lot of different parts and we collectively decide what stays/goes
