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. W

e 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

This could be Bad ASS!! Can you imagine being the first "Virtual Band" to cut an album and possibly get SIGNED!! How sweet could that be!!??

 

[Platypus]

Lay us down some phat beats JR

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

Who's gonna write the lyrics and be the virtual Front Man??

 

[Platypus]

Let's get a few tunes out there and if people want to write/add lyrics that's cool.. but I'd rather keep it instrumental.. thoughts?

If we did some covers we definitely would need a good singer as a frontman.

But yeah mainly instrumental. Maybe some lyrics can be added as long as it isnt like "All your base are belong to us"

Yeah I know, kinda contradictory huh??

I guess I'd probably whore my virtues out over a few million dollars though. That said, those guys are all still full of shit! Some guys from my high school got signed with Sony/BMG and then got completely screwed over by those assholes! Check out Revis if you ever get the chance.

Good music and a great band that got signed and shelved because they weren't Sony's "Golden Child" at the time and now they can't even play their own songs in a bar without it being copyright infringement!

 

[Fritzo]

I've already got our first song titles:

"Nef"
"Bulk Beef"
"YAGT"
"What Kind of Guitar Should I Buy?"
"REPOST!"

 

[GuitarDaddy]

I'll suggest a few song titles

"YAGT blues in Cm"

"Help me lord, I can't escape the Friendzone"

"I tried to reboot, but all I got was a BSOD"

"You overclocked our Love, on a 250w PS"

"Bitch is crazy, should I dump her (reprise)"

"My foreign import pwns jur Chevy"

"Should I poke my blister with a needle? Doctors ain't cheap"

"Pull up your pants fool!, Hip ain't hoppin no more"

"Please, Please don't ban me mister moderator man"


I'll save the really good ones for later:laugh:


rats Fritzo beat me too it:|

[MartyMcFly3]

Still waiting for that drum track so I can record bass.

 

[NL5]

Hey - I can supply some drum tracks - although I'm not playing on them. I can also supply bass tracks that I will play on.....

 

[Platypus]

I have and can make tons of drum tracks.. I just wanted an actual ATOT'er to record himself for this

I agree. Itd be 10x cooler if a different ATOT'er recorded each part rather than having people do multiple things.

Come up with a great song, even an instrumental. Post it on YouTube or MySpace and ATOT effect the page, spamtastically, in bulk. Register enough hits in a short period somebody will take notice.

Another twist, you could market your individual/collective tracks/mixes to other artists, song writers, studios, etc.

I wasn't going to make them - I HATE programmed drums. I was gonna record some, I just wouldn't be playing them.

Oh well. If someone gets some drum tracks up, I'll lay add some bass if Marty don't....
