As for the FTP...

You can setup some ftp server software to be able to have users access the ftp from Internet Exploerer or any web brower. I use Bullet Proof FTP Server and it allows this function. So no ftp client software would have to be used. You just use the copy and paste function to upload to the ftp, and click the file to download from it. To see an example of what i mean just click this link ftp://frequencies.ath.cx it brings up a login screen right inside your browser!!

Just took a look at bullet proof - I'm running on a linux server over here so that's not gonna fly.
I have turned on file attachments within the forum app, so if people really have a problem using 3rd party ftp clients, we can try and use that... but doing things via http posting is not always so smoov :)

:clap: :clap: :clap:

I`ll sign up tonight when I get back from work. GOnna see if I can drum up a little more interest too.

Sounds good!
So far we have 4 people including myself that are signed up and ready to roll.

"Musicians, Today, if they're clever, put new compositions out on the web, like pies set to cool on a window ledge , and wait for other people to anonymously rework them. Ten will be all wrong , but the eleventh may be genius. And free. It's as though the creative process is no longer contained within an individual skull, if indeed it ever was. Everything, today, is to some ex-tent the reflection of something else"

Gibson is the man.. I don't think anyone could have put it any better :clap:

I have also started a channel on a friend's irc server. It may be useful to speak in a more fluid manner at times, rather than just posting to the forum.
I'm kinda thinking the forum will be useful to keep track of the overall progression of everything, but the irc will be cool for random discussions if any of us happen to be working on stuff simultaneously.
Snag your favorite irc client and point yourself to irc.benow.ca #techno

See you there!

actually we have a blackout irc channel... but i deleted the link on the top of the forum cause everyone wanted me to do a avatar/signiture hide and i messed up the code :( i'll put it back the way it was in the next few wks :)

I was the one spearheading the first round of this idea. Everyone was supposedly in.. but then when it actually came time to get to work, only 3 people actually were down to do it. I set up an ftp with tons of room, and it was all ready to go. However, most people were just too busy. The work platform was always an ongoing issue. Plug-in compatibility and sequencer/version split the lines too much.

I mentally invested a bunch to get it going, but at the end of the day.. it was a waste of time.

It may be difficult to deal with people running on different platforms and such, but up until the point of arrangement I think if all people pass around are wav files there should be no problem.
When arrangement time comes I suggest we stick to one cross-platform sequencer such as Live and unless everyone has waves plugins and what not, we should limit ourselves to the internal plugins. If you want to use something that others don't have, bounce the audio to a file and then put it back into the session.

No one said this was going to be easy ;)
