Hi John,
I'll be guided by Peter on this as I'm just dipping my toes into the water. I
played and sang on the rough demo, but did not do the sound engineering. That's
no criticism of Dave, who did, but just a way of saying I'm a relative novice.
In general, I prefer recordings to sound organic, and not over-quantised, like
a Stock Aitken Waterman production.
Best,
Clive

Hi John,
Given that not everyone will be able to reassemble 8 separate tracks, I
think it makes sense to do a rough stereo mix at this stage, which could
always be tweaked later on if need be.
Best,
Peter

hi clive, i've listened to the demo And see no reason why i cannot play to
it. can i ask if it was recorded to a click - some of the timing seems a
little "flexible"? i'll have a go at the track tomorrow but here's the fun
bit. how would you like me to send what i record? i'll be using a five piece
drum kit with cymbals and i typically record with 8 mics or so. would you
like all 8 tracks in wav format, or would you like me to send a rough stereo
mix for comments? there are pros and cons to both methods i guess, hence me
asking for your preference. looking forward ! to the challenge, John.

Hi John,
Ok, let's see if we can kick start this. Please could you go to the demos
and guide tracks folder, and listen to the demo I've put in there called
'Stroke Of Love", and let me know if you think you could start us off with
drums. If you can't for any reason, please let me know if you need any more
input from me first. If you still can't, I'll ask Steve if he'd be able to
supply an electronic drum track. Steve, I was impressed, like Dave, by the
way your tracks in the Katana thread didn't sound obviously synthetic to my
innocent ears. After the drum track, we can add the bass. Is there anyone
who can put in an electric twelve-string, with a chiming sound, as in 'Mr.
Tambourine Man' or 'There She Goes by the La's. If you don't know that track
I can share it, but it should be pretty easy to hear on Youtube.
Best,
Clive

Hi All
I've now sorted out my Dropbox, it's incredible
what you just leave somewhere when you're not used to using it a lot!
I've updated the Musicians file and added myself
as a percussionist (purely in the hitting things
sense, not orchestral) and added myself to the
long list of people who can sing. I've also
filled in some style info, but generally I'll
have a go at just about anything if I can.
Talk soon, John

Hi all,
Dave Reay put a 'musicians' file into Dropbox
yesterday. Why not add details of what you all
like playing in the second part of the file,
headed Styles, which I added shortly afterwards?
Best,
Clive

Hi John,
Good to hear from you. Perhaps a good way to
start might be to hear from people what they
like. I think though, it'll be difficult to
cater for everyone so, perhaps we need to simply
do a series of tracks. Sort of something for
everyone. What sort of music do you like
playing John? Have you a particular style, or
genre, you prefer? You may like lots of
different styles of music but might prefer playing more specific types?
How about some sort of ballady type song as a
starter perhaps? Unfortunately John, I think
you're in the minority here so looks like you're
our resident drummer. Apologies though in case
anyone else plays drums. I'm happy to lay down
some bass and guitar but, I know we have several
other guitar players on board so, all's easy.
Clive, I've just seen your emails as I'm having
to resend this email because I sent it last
night from the wrong address. I think it's a
good idea having a list of peoples musical styles etc.
Best wishes all.
Steve

Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas
really keen to add in some guitars,bass,
acoustic, electric rhythm or lead? Any of the
drummers amongst you, have you a drum track
recorded? Or an idea of something? It would
be really great to make this great idea of Peters come to some fruition.
Cheers all!the idea of how we might record remotely.
Steve

Hi All,
Many thanks for the encouraging response to
interest, nine so far, to share a DropBox folder.
I've just invited those who expressed an
Whenever you have a song or piece of music that you'd like to record,
please add a demo or guide track to the folder. It should have a
count-in, and if it's the sort of piece where a click-track is
suitable or helpful, then that could also be good, but absolutely not
essential and very much depending on the type of music.
Please then post to the group to say anything you like about how it
could be arranged, and then others can record parts, and we can take
it from there.
If you haven't yet been added but would like to be, then please post
to the list.
Lastly, nothing is set in stone and if you have other ideas about how
to work this, then please feel free.
All best,
Peter
