HI folks,
We agree a zoom chat sounds like a great idea as it would be good to put voices
to names and get to know each other a bit better. We had never used zoom before
lock-down but really love it now. Some-one mentioned Latin styles which is
something else we really have a soft spot for. I love to sing The Girl From
Epanema, Cocovado otherwise known as quiet nights and The Fool ON The Hill in
the style of Sergio Mendez and Brasi 66.
Take care and best wishes.
Sarah and Andrew.

Hi Clive and all,
Steve has asked pretty much what I asked in a previous email. If we
know who is doing what it will be easier to manage the recording of
parts I think.
I look forward to hearing Clive's vision for the song and we can then
move on from there. It might even be worth scheduling a Zoom chat
between all those who are going to play so we can get to know one
another a little and bypass a lot of emailing. I'd be happy to set
that up, i think.
Let me know what you think, John

Hi Steve,
What I propose to do is to record a spoken audio file of
instructions showing what I hear. I know we have several guitarists,
but of those six guitarists shown in the Musicians file, I've only
heard you and Dave Reay play. So, after the drums and tambourine on
Stroke Of Love, it will be your turn to add the bass. Can you get a
solid sound on your bass, similar to the one that you hear on the
demo track? Then we could add a strummed acoustic plus electric
chiming twelve-string or a similar sound. I've discussed that with
Dave, but I wouldn't like to specify who'd be the best person to
give an acoustic rhythm guitar. Any takers?
This raises again the idea that it may be helpful to put examples of
previous work into the Musicians folder, so we can here who plays which style.
Best,
Clive

Hi Peter, Clive & All,
OK, so, I'd like some clarification, if poss, on who will play what
in these projects? Is someone going to make that decision? Or,
shall the relevant musicians for a particular instrument volunteer?
As for a tambourine on Johns new drum track, are you able, easily
enough, John to add them in to the track you've already done? Or,
would it sound any better to redo it?
Cheers all.
Steve

Hi John and All,
That's great. The only caveat is that I think, at least for the
bass part, and maybe for some others, you need to have the new drums
to play to. That's why I suggested making a new guide track with
the drums. If I have a chance I'll make that in the next few days
and let you know.
Then others can record parts as John suggests. Steve, are you
happy to play bass?
Best,
Peter

Hi all, I thought I'd change the subject line as this has little to do
with Dropbox folders.
Thanks for the kind words about the drum track.
Clive, I'm happy to add some tamberene and just as happy to listen to
what people think once I've done so.
Re: recording and mixing: I'd be very happy to have a go at the mixing
project when we have all the individual parts recorded. Another thing
we could do, once everything is recorded, is throw the opportunity to
mix open to the RWP list or even other VI lists as we'll just have a
bunch of wav files that anyone could import to any DAW, I think.
From the point of view of managing the recording process, It would be
helpful to have a list of who is going to do what on the track
So, if you want to record a part please do so and put it into the
parts folder clearly labelled. I can then import all the parts into
what we might call the master copy and mix them together. Any hints,
suggestions or orders will be welcome and without them you'll get my
mix which you may love or hate.
Without teaching you wonderful people things you know already, please
make sure the your part is separate from the old guide track so that I
can bring it into the new project on it's own.
That's enough for now.
Hope that helps, John

So Peter, are you saying then that we use a partly completed tract
to, for want of a better expression, capture our individual tracks
which we will record separately and send you. You then will be
creating a built up track to allow the next person to add to, again
though, with them recording their own bit separately until the last
part is recorded at which point, you will bring all the individual
tracks together and mix them to create the final project? Have I got
that right?
As to Clives track, yes, no problem. I've had a few goes at
practicing it. Clive, are you wanting it pretty prescriptive? Or,
are you open to a little improvisation? Within reason of course?
Steve

Hi All,
Lovely drum track John. Re putting Humpty Dumpty together again, two
thoughts:
If someone is particularly keen on doing this mix and uses Reaper
already, then it could be shared as a Reaper project
If nobody pipes up, then I'll start the ball rolling. I don't use
Reaper, so the way I'd do it is to use the demo as a guide track, and
add the drum part. That then becomes the next guide track for the
bass part. Steve HD, would you like to volunteer for that? I'd then
add that to the mix ready for the next part. Each temporary guide
track mix would be a new .wav file, and I'd have the mix building up
in my DAW, still with separate parts, until complete. I wonder how
clear that is. I can't promise a quick turn-around, shall do my best,
but as I say if anyone else is keen to take this one on then please say.
Best,
Peter

Hey John,real kit!
Great drum track. Sounds really good. Absolutely nothing beats a
produced one.
So, I presume everyone, if we add anything to this track, we're
going to create a separate track sincronised with the drum track.
And then, someone is going to put it all together? Who is going to
build up humpty dumpty then? Smiles
Steve

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I put the file in the Parts folder,
which seemed to make sense to me. It's the only file there at
present and the name should be self explanatory. J

Hello all,
I'm sure I have heard tell of more items being loaded into Dropbox
than I can find? Steve HD, did you put a second track into DB -
not the backing track known as Junk Rock, but a second one you
were suggesting we might have a go at recording, after the Richard
Ashcroft? John, should I have found your drum track for my song
'Stroke Of Love' yet? I seem to remember you saying you had
Thanks,
Clive
