Maybe a silly idea, but i thought it might be cool to try and make a song with contributions from beatle forum members? There are tons of musicians on here, might be good fun! Maybe even upload parts of a song for other members to finish, or add to? Like a basic guitar track, then someone adds keys, vocals, bass etc... see what we come up with! Anyone up for it?

Funnily enough I tried this on another forum - I think we got as far as bass and drums! But yeah, it's a really good idea if we can get enough contributors. I think MrMustard would be well up for it! It could be quite tricky to mix though - this was my mixing suggestion on the other forum: What I was thinking was to record the tracks in two track stereo, so as each new track is recorded I can add it to the master mix. That way tempo and pitch would not be an issue - as in the following example:
Track 1 panned left - drums Track 2 panned right - bass Send takes to Alan - Alan mixes tracks 1 & 2 to multitrack then mixes the two tracks to one track ready for the next person. Alan sends mix on to the next person Track 3 (panned left) - drums and bass (this is a mix of tracks 1 & 2) Track 4 - panned right - rhythm guitar is added Send take to Alan - Alan copies track 4 to multitrack then mixes all the tracks together to one track ready for the next person. Track 5 (panned left) - a mix of drums, bass and rhythm guitar (from tracks 1, 2 & 4) Alan sends on to the next person. Track 6 (panned left) - a mix of drums, bass rhythm guitar (a mix of tracks 1, 2 & 4) Track 7 - panned right - lead guitar is added Send take to Alan - Alan copies track 7 to multitrack then mixes all the tracks to one track for the next person. Track 8 (panned left) - a mix of drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar(from tracks 1, 2, 4 & 7) Alan sends on to the next person
Etc etc for 16 tracks in total if necessary!
Hope that all makes sense!
I reckon maybe 4 minutes would be better though rather than 2 minutes.
Think along the following structure I think...
INTRO VERSE CHORUS VERSE CHORUS MIDDLE 8 VERSE CHORUS x 2I posted that almost 5 years ago to the very day - obviously these days most people have some sort of mixing package at home on their computer now So, who's gonna write the song then?

It would be nice if everyone contributed like Revolverdundee said. We just need a start - riff, intro, chord sequence, some lyrics

If everyone contributing has some form of audio software, there's no need to worry about the mix until the end. Shouldn't have to bounce stuff, just render out every track as an individual .wav Anyone got a riff?

Well, I have rough demos recorded which wouldn't tax the most amateur of musicians - you are welcome to use any of those and see how it goes from there.

The only problem with them is that they are finished! Especially Hurts To Much To Say Goodbye. I could do you a nice guitar part and solo for this one if you would like it!

Oooh yeah would love a guitar part! What I was thinking is that one of these could possibly be the basis for a forum song - i.e. re-recorded from scratch.
