Well, I'll let Biscuit Power do the Sleeve.
and I could do a promotional Poster..sort of like the late 60's ones

Quoted from An_Apple_Beatle

Another idea...If there was an MP3 link on this thread, whoever was doing the music could d/load and import it to their PC's to add track and send to.....who? (Someone who is organised and good at hosting things...aaheemmm Al? Bobber? lol

Me? Organised? LOL!
Uuh, that's okay, I can do the hosting of course. I'm not sure if it's really necessary however. I think the main thing first is to determine a program we can all work with. Anybody can add tracks then. But somebody has got to do the final mix of course. Like Apps suggested, when everybody is enjoying this, we can do it with more than one song, with diferrent people working on this. Again, I don't mind hosting all this and keep an eye on things, but maybe it's possible to open some kind of thread where people can pick up songs or whatever. You got any ideas on this, Al?

well, i play guitar? but i dont know how to record stuff on the internet

I figured out a way...

My mom has this thing that converts LPs and tapes to CDs, so if I just tape myslef singing, and make it into a CD, I could put it on the internet. Yeah.

Would have to make sure you were singing at the right tempo. Then the wonders of cut and paste can arrange your vocal parts.

Sounds cool. I dont have any recording stuff though, but i'd like to hear this when the foundation is layed down.

Hey TK, have you got any old isolated drum parts at all? Maybe from some of your previous recordings?

Unfortunately, i've got nothing. I'm a bum.

A cheap PZM microphone 30 pounds - 60 bucks, a boss compressor/sustain pedal 40quid/80bucks and the mic line into your PC and you got a studio bro.

You may have to d/load cubase or something. The PZM would work wonders on your kit all by itself...Trust me.

Does this mean the Ringo seat is still vacant? lol

Don't worry about the hosting of the track, I can upload so everyone can get involved, I think we just need a continuity though - so after the bass and drums are sorted it would get passed onto the next person to add their bit etc etc. It would be better to do it in turn.

What I was thinking was to record the tracks in two track stereo, so as each new track is recorded I can add it to the master mix. That way tempo and pitch would not be an issue - as in the following example:

Track 1 panned left - drums
Track 2 panned right - bass
Send takes to Alan - Alan mixes tracks 1 & 2 to multitrack then mixes the two tracks to one track ready for the next person.
Alan sends mix on to the next person
Track 3 (panned left) - drums and bass (this is a mix of tracks 1 & 2)
Track 4 - panned right - rhythm guitar is added
Send take to Alan - Alan copies track 4 to multitrack then mixes all the tracks together to one track ready for the next person.
Track 5 (panned left) - a mix of drums, bass and rhythm guitar (from tracks 1, 2 & 4)
Alan sends on to the next person.
Track 6 (panned left) - a mix of drums, bass rhythm guitar (a mix of tracks 1, 2 & 4)
Track 7 - panned right - lead guitar is added
Send take to Alan - Alan copies track 7 to multitrack then mixes all the tracks to one track for the next person.
Track 8 (panned left) - a mix of drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar(from tracks 1, 2, 4 & 7)
Alan sends on to the next person


Etc etc for 16 tracks in total if necessary!

Hope that all makes sense!

I reckon maybe 4 minutes would be better though rather than 2 minutes.

Think along the following structure I think...

INTRO
VERSE
CHORUS
VERSE
CHORUS
MIDDLE 8
VERSE
CHORUS x 2

What d'ya reckon?

Sounds good to me. A bit of organisation.

seems like a bit much for 2 15

Yeah, I reckoned about 4:00 and I can tweak it about afterwards.

Maybe we'll need a demo first? Or at least some kind of basic thing?

Good idea, I think Rick has a few tracks up his sleeve!
