Members sonaboy Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 . yeah, my roommate who's a drummer, teleconferences with his buddy in LA over his Mac - they write music together by discussing what they want to do, synching their software to the same settings, playing, and then uploading the files to one another. he uses an electronic drum brain and pad set, and BFD software, along with Garageband and some other stuff like DAW plugins, etc. the stuff they make sounds just great too. he spends about 3 hours every saturday afternoon playing and making this stuff.

Members aeroslepperin Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 that's pretty cool. just another reminder that the writing process can be anything it needs to be. i've never done that around the world, but my friends and i, in college, would 4-track master tapes (cassettes) back and forth. usually, whoever had the idea would record their idea for the song and send it to the drummer, who would then come up with drums for the song, but re-record and send it back to the writer. then they'd re-record the main idea, and pass it on to the next guy. it worked ok.

Members pinkjimiphoton Posted May 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 we dreamed about doing stuff like this when i was young...first time i ever did it, the amazing thing to me was the track he came up with OVER mine initially...that wasn't bad, but once i took out the cheesy backbeat loop i made...wow...thanks for the feedback!!rock on, gents!

Members The*Ataris Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 The singer and I from my old band are still writing a bunch of music back and forth across the internet. He moved 1000+ miles away (not quite the distance you're dealing with) and I find it amazing we can keep in touch this way. 1. He does acoustic+vox recording 2. I arrange the bitch and record the music 3. He sings over my stereo mix, sends recording... 4. I do the final mix and viola! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DJLantz444 Posted May 18, 2006 Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 Suggestion: Mix the guitar louder during the non-vocal parts. Maybe turn down the drums a bit, but I think it's the guitar that needs to go up, not the other way around. Anyway, I wasn't thrilled the first time I heard it, but now it's great!

Members pinkjimiphoton Posted May 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2006 thanks for the constructive feedback, bro....i agree, i thought it kinda sucked before...now it's a horse of a different colour.when i get a chance to remix, i believe i will do exactly as you say...you mean the rhythym guitars in particular, right??they can be kinda faint in spots..thanks!
