Collaboration?

TelePaul

Hi guys. I like music, love to play, but cannot and will not sing, not ever. I'm sure there are some of you here that'd much rather sing than play, so maybe we could meet each other in the middle? What I'm proposing is some form of collaboration between those of us here with a means of recording music at home to swap audio files, maybe get a few mixes together, have a bit of fun?

Hi there,

That really sounds to me!;)

I write and sing my own songs, I don't mind to sing covers songs either-
I play a bit of guitar but I wouldn't mind to leave this part to someone else as my play is very basic-However I was looking for some collaboration as you mentioned in your post as for the singing/playing, the writing,composing and recording part...ans of course wouldn't mind abit of laugh also!:D

I am really open about the style as I like all kind of music...

I pmd you:)

Cool man, do you have any music recording software? Just something that you could geta few tracks down with and we could e-mail them back and forth.

Hiya - I write and sing my own songs - and play a bit of guitar, but I don't really play anything else, nor am I the best guitarist in the world :-). I have my little "home studio" (laptop, garageband, nice mic and audio interface set up) - so that's a go - I would love to send around some songs and see what happens. The one thing I don't have a clue about, really is mastering songs so any tips on that would be very helpful! :-)

But have a listen anyway, and maybe you'll have some ideas about other instruments/sounds? And I could listen to what you have if you need some singing done :-) that I can do with the best of 'em :-)

Yeah I've learnt the 'tech' side piece by piece and I'm still very bad at it! You basically need an audio interface of some sort. If you check out www.thomann.de, they've alot to choose from.

Nice voice, nice guitar and a well captured sound! Good job! I can't offer any practical advice on Mastering, only that a lack of such is the reason why my recordings don't appear as 'loud' as commercial CDs. I'll see if I can find something similar myself.
