i'm not down with acid.
yeah, acid is gonna be plop, but its the easiest to cross files between - not too complicated..
Alright gentleman...
I apologize for getting the excitement going and then disappearing for a few weeks.. (Out of town and busy with a few things..)
Anyway.. Let get it going.. THE FTP IS SETUP!! Now all that’s left is to decided and finalize the parameters.
The Programs:
From the feedback I recon we are agreed that we need to drop acid (pun intended!).. I guess we form a divide where you chose either Logic (6) or Cubase (SX 1). This will make it a better product in the end anyway.
* I guess we could also form an Acid group if it was so demanded.
Plugins:
Plug-in compatibility is an issue. I think the only solution that will work long term is to render audio flat with efx included unless you are using efx native to the program. If everyone had the waves native bundle that would be a good standard.. .. but I’m not going to start sending out copies. So let’s stick to the native plugins or rendered 3rd party.
Saving/Exporting:
We need to be careful to package the file carefully as not to leave files out. I’m not sure how its done in Logic.. but in Cubase… When you are done.. “Save Project To a New Folder..”. Check Minimize audio; Freeze Edits; and Remove Unused Files so that the file size does not get out of hand. Then zip that folder.. I just did this to a project of mine.. (Folder was 75mb.. zipped to 33mb.. so that’s what we are dealing with!! It will be less in the early 8 bar looping process)
A further note of saving.. Each time you save a zip.. save it up a #.. (I.E.. GroupA 1.zip…> . download..> modify…> then Upload > GroupA 2.zip…..and so on).. That way we can always backtrack if something goes wrong.
Time:
I suggested before that each person has 3 days. I say make it even less.. Two days max!. If you don’t have time, too bad. The train can’t stop; your turn will be back around before you know it. That way.. In a group of 4.. you are getting the track about once a week.
Well.. There it is. Now all that’s left is forming groups. I’m not giving out the ftp public. To sign up.. msg me and ill give you the details. Then when you msg me.. tell me:
Platform: (Logic, Cubase, Acid)
Techno Prefrence: (Punishing, Hard, Funky, Dark… etc)
My hope is that the groups will work itself out through preference divides. The goal is groups of 4. Hit the PM mgn link below to sign up.. or add me to icq.aim.. etc.. (dont email me to any of these because i dont check them... instant message or blackout pm only!)
Other Rules:
Scroll back to my first posts on pg 3
Lets give a registration deadline – 1 week from now END OF DAY; FRIDAY SEPT 26th. Then I'll see what we got over that weekend and hopefully the grouping thing works out. You can always join later, we just got to get this bitch movin!!!
LETS GO!!!!

would it be a problem with me using cubase 5, i guess i could work with acid, although i detest the program.
another thing i just need clearing up, one person starts with a few loops, say 64 bars. it is then up to the next person to take the track further, right? say another 64 bars, adding more loops right?
Emmmm... no need dealing in old technology here.. Its already been hard enough to get people to step up to the plate. Making them have to deal with a weird conversion back to V5 cubase is not a welcome bump in the road.
We can start a V5 cuabse group if you like. However, to this point.. you would be the only person in that group.
I dont want to be the killjoy.. but I'm all about making this thing take off.. and not about stunting its growth.
ok mate i can appreciate that. i think i'll knock it on the head for now, i look to upgrade to sx in the very near future though, and maybe if this all goes well it will come around again. (unless their is a sudden surge of cubase 5 users of course)
I think this ideas going nowhere fast, why dont someone just upload a load of samples, singlys and loops and let everyone do there own thing???
Just an idea, kinda like every track will be a rmx of the other but each with the artists individual touch
Not a bad idea. Wavs please.
Alright man, wait till i get broadband and i will put my internet connection where my mouth is and upload a zip file of sounds onto my server, give me a few weeks/upto a month and its done. Infact if it takes off I will be quite chuffed loads of differant peoples ideas and tracks/styles come together. hmmmm Yeah ok I swear I will do this is, if it doesnt take off then no biggie and also plenty of free samples for everyone!! :rambo: Single hits do?? I could do some exmaple loops or something, i dunno just to get the ball rolling. Hey u never know, this could become realy a big part of the forum, theres plenty of artists on here and loads of people seem up 4 it. :rambo: My fast connection is on its way, just waiting for the modem to come
Oh and watch this space, Hasta la vista muther ****ers
