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!!!!
