We should go on with the arrangement.

Depends on what you call a melody. Within minimal tracks it can be
just a couple of clicks. We should sort out which of the tracks is strong
enough to make it a "main" voice.

what we thinking guys..?

I am a very slow arranger, it would take at least two weeks for me doing that,
lots of things need to be done every day before I can turn on my DAW.
Maybe anyone wants to try that live music network thingy with me?
8 Bucks per month are OK for me.

Suggestions?

Point taken, but to be honest we're in no rush, this is just a bit of fun- an experiment, i would be interested in doing the netwerk but my internet conection in halls is appalling, i cant even watch youtube.

Im not really sure what the best way to do this iss...

...spiral & m:0 - what do you think... can any of you get on this netwerk?
For me the best way is to go lone ranger on the arranging- not nessicarily out of preference though...

What do the rest think...

I think the speed of my net here isn't proper enough for this Network
software (in terms of latency and workflow). I'm also a bit busy for the
next half week, but then i've got plenty of time - also for this track.

So, everybody comes up with an own arangement?
Gives the Collab. thing a new turn, but probably an efficient and interesting
one. For me, it's ok!

Another Idea would be that everybody makes a certain part (intro,main,break.etc...) into one .als file.

mmhhhh....

which way do you prefer

So I guess the best way is we go on collecting ideas.
Anybody does an arrangement. Nothing too perfect maybe.
Just work out some variations and FX. Brainstorming for about a week or so.
Then we load anything up, compare, analyze and _one_ puts together the whole thing. How about this?

yeah that sounds like a way forward or maybe we can see if someone wants to arrange this now we have all the parts

what is this live network thing you mentioned?

The live network thing is basically two people working on live at the same time-via webcam and some program- check the link on page 1.-great idea- but not really usable with time differences and bandwidths on this occasion.

Im up for going away, arranging then comparing in a couple of weeks- im also up for getting someone else involved, but to be honest i think we should all have a go at it first.

"too many cooks spoil the broth"... as it were, anyway, everyone have fun- if we have new samples/ideas cooked up-send em up via this thread.
Remember- no rush at all, dosnt matter if arranging takes 2 weeks or 4; this is an experiment. Although i do think we send the track/s to some record labels and if all works out- create some more musical masterpieces- hell! we may even meet in real life sometime!

On a seperate but related point, i just had the wardens come round cos i was showing the work 'thus far' to my flatmates- that bass just seems to carry through walls n walls!- but it is 4.30am here!

All up for it?

Shout out if not...

take it easy guys- by the way- what are your real names?
im laurence- nice to meet you!

yeah I'm happy to have a go at arranging it and then putting some ideas forward in a few weeks time, i have put a post in the general thread directing people here so might get someone up for it..

i dont think the live network thing will work with the timezones and its nothing that cant be acheieved by using skype/msn/aim etc if we need that

OK, guys, we have an agreement. We meet again.

Just working on the arrangement and facing a problem.
The clips do not start quantized. What´s the reason for this behaviour?

not quite sure, i faced this with the beats especially- if you use the revert offset button it should sort it out

if not- nudge!

oh and watch the samples as they arnt all globally quantised

Thanks for your fast reply, I´ll try this!

hows everyone doing? after a couple of nights that i should have been studying i think ive almost finished

Did I mention I´m a slow arranger? At the moment I´m doing some
variations with glitch type stuff. Far from arranging...

i can start at wednesday
no time for muzak at the moment........i'm sad
but then........
