ok so it had to start turning sometime... and who better than to start it than me- sambo! the forums resident dude that everyone knows and loves :D :roll: .... (actually im kinda giving it a little push- it started rolling a couple of days ago but that was very... verrry... slllo..oowww.... rolling)
anyway... the 'giant ball' im referring to is this BKP forum users album...
are we thinking- all original ideas, multi-layered over the web via parts being sent by email....
or... covers of famous songs... like every song that the pups are named after.... which seems like a good idea... done in the same way- over the web.
or maybe a mixture of the two? DISC 1- originals DISC 2- songs pups are named after... (i like the idea of a two disc jobby :D )
or maybe in a studio/home studio like HTH suggested... although thats a big ask.
basically, how do people wanna do this? and what EXACTLY do people wanna do?
-
I like the idea of just making some wierdo instrumental track...I have this idea of doing something like that and if I'm needing that push into actually getting my arse into order and doing it!
But it wouldn't be anything rocky at all. I fancy using my Mothers Milk strat for it, but obviously, if someone else wants to use them for a more rocky situation then go for it. I shouldn't automatically assume I'm a part of this...

yer i think instrumental is the way to go.... maybe not even drums...?
it could even be one huge track, fading from part to part... pup to pup... style to style if you see what i mean....

I think thatd sound cr@p to be honest.. without drums I think it would be weak and boring.
-
but it'd show off the pups more...
plus drum programming will take yonks...
plus just guitars on their own would sound awesome....
it would only sound weak and boring if what we were playing was weak and boring...
with the amount of talent... and just sheer quantity of players on here... it would never get boring.... there'd always be something going on- loads of layers.... it'd be awesome IMO....
plus it'd be quite different to most other things...
what does everyone else think?
-
I still say drums will make it more entertaining to listen to, it'd be an actual song/piece of music, instead of just riffs etc.
-
Drums don't have to take long. It depends on what people are after and what they've got to do the drums with. I mean, it could be as simple as loops.
How would the copyright be worked out for originals when there are so many contributors from several different countries? I dunno how much of an issue it would even be--I'm just wondering.
-
^yer im not sure about copyright... that could be a big issue..
im 50/50 on the drums.... i think overall... they may even bring the quality of the song down if its just loops (depending how good the program is and how well theyve been programmed...) we cuold always get an actual drummer in on this.... my bands drummer has an electric kit thats easy to record to PC

Yeah get your drummer to do some stuff for your section at least :D lepersmeesa is AWESOME at programming drums as well from what I've heard. I can do basic stuff which can sound ok as well so thats not really a problem for me :)
-
yer thats cool. and with a real drummer it would be cool as we could then say that EVERYTHING was our own... i mean, i know programming is still original but you know what i mean... and it would save time even if programming wasnt THAT time consuming
-
Yeah true. Programming basic stuff doesnt take a lot of time though, its pretty quick. If I had a load of mic's and decent cymbals I'd record my drumkit but alas, I dont have such luxuries :cry:
-
yer recording is gonna be another issue- not everyone has the required equipment to record... and even people who can record may not be able to get a decent quality...
-
:D If your going to do this without Drums or vocals [ excluding] instrumentals] then this is a waste of time ! :roll:
You might as well cobble 20 odd sound clips from the players forum & call it an album !
The whole idea of doing the album is to show off the P/U`s in real situations ie playing in a full band etc as well as showing off your individual playing talent.
:D 8)
PS it will be hard anyway as most people don`t have the same recording setups, & they will need to be good inorder to do the P/U`s justice so whats the minimum standard going to be & who`s going to set it ?
Maybe Tim should decide this....it`s his company after all........
-
yer tim should make all the final decisions...

If someone tells me what they want, I can knock a drum track up in Reason. It won't be anything overly complicated (unless thats what you want) but the sound quality will be good as Reason uses sampled instruments.
Let me know what you think.
-
id happily knock up a simple chord progression if anyone wants to get ballady and soul-ful. drums can be handled by someone else too, and if anyone wants lyrics on them just lemme know :)
