64D hasn't done a collaborative music project yet. At least, not with actual instruments.

Incidentally, I haven't seen a completed game collaboration in 64D's 6 year life, but whatever.

I think the main reason there hasn't been a music project (with instruments) yet, is because no one can record their drum set. I've dropped several thousand on a Roland TD9-SX, so I can record some drumming.

I know half the site plays bass, and several of you play guitar, so let's try put something together.

I was thinking someone could record some guitar, and then I could record some drums to match it, and someone could do some bass over top of it. I'm sure someone plays the keyboard too. I doubt anyone is non-awkward enough to do vocals though. XD

I've never played in a band - my 8 years of piano lessons was ALL classical, and my 2-3 years of drum lessons have simply been to blow off steam. I don't know how musicians normally collaborate together, and I'm not very creative, nor musically inclined. But I thought it'd be fun to try this. Also, I took 3 years of music theory - most of it's gone out the window, but I can re-learn what I need to, if that helps anyone else communicate.

Soooo, someone record something. Or, if you want, I can record something and you can play something over top of the drums, but drumming isn't usually the driving force behind the melody of a song.

Another thing we could do, is define a tempo, a style of music, and sort of lay out the flow of a song. (ie a 4/4 rock song at 120 bps, that is energetic for the first 8 bars, then slows down for 6, then goes back to energetic for another 8 bars, etc)

Juju is the only one I know of here that is in a band, so I'm expecting him to comment on this! =D

Edit: Oh yeah, we'd be doing different mp3 files, so we'd use Acid or Fruity Loops to put the music all together.

Edit 2: We're not doing mp3. Poly has advised that mp3 loses sound quality.

Also, rather than an original song, we can do a cover, if everyone can agree to a song.
