Perhaps to keep things tidy now and then a list of the ongoings might be a good idea since people can share their interest into working or adding to a specific song.

Sofar:

vurt is working on: everybody should have an instrument from xoxos

xoxos is waiting for the farmer collection from donkey

blaster78 is doing a track from Wopelka

And I am waiting for the audio-separates of Sephiritoh's Searching for Lenin on which either I or Rsmus will start


Yeah, I know; I'm list-crazy

[donkey tugger]

I just sent oxox some files, not a 'farmers' thing though, an acoustic song, unsafe, this ere being the original;

Lovely stuff donks... Some of those chord movements are wicked. Just my cuppa.

I'm interested in working on this one after xoxos has his way with it...

Also, I'll contribute any of my tunes for remixing if someone's interested. Just lemme know which tune and I'll post separate midi and audio tracks.

[freeztar]

Garret, I'd like to hear a remixed version of "Accomplishing, Believing". It's one of my all time favorite KvR tunes.
I wouldn't know how to start it, but I would love to get involved with it at some point.

[Sascha Franck]

Not too sure if I fit into this thing at all, but in case anybody needs some guitars I'd be happy to do some.

In addition, I think it'd be cool if the source material (or at least some raw mix of it) could be posted here, so people could give themselves a try.

Good plan hun #2!

unsafe tracks mp3

err, I did em as 192k mp3s, all the same length, so there's fuckloads of silence on most of em. 86bpm, some manner of Emajor, weird chords!

Edit;

Dear Mr. Tugger (and whomever)

I'm not sure if you're even remotely interested, but being the dogmatic hun par excellence I'm gonna post it anyhow:
This is a prime example of MP3 failing to do the job properly.
I allready said so earlier in this thread, MP3s will defenitely add a tad of silence in the beginning of a converted (to wave that is) file.
This will make it rather difficult to line tracks up properly while keeping the original timing intact, especially (!) if there is some silence in the beginning of the tracks as well.
When using WMA or OGG (which should be no completely unavailable formats... ) any such problems simply don't exist anymore - as both of them don't add any silence.
You'd just tell people the tempo and perhaps the number of the bar things have to be placed at.

Yes, you might call me an idiot, but please believe me, especially for larger collaboration projects (which this thing seems to become), such issues can really spoil things a bit (or at least make it quite more of a technical task, rather than a musical joy).

Oh well - thanks for those tracks anyways
Will see if I find some time.

[donkey tugger]

I know I know! But since no-one had agreed to use WMA or ogg, then I thought I'd best just use mp3 for now. All the tracks start at the same place by the way, so it shouldn't be too difficult in this case.

[Sascha Franck]

All the tracks start at the same place by the way, so it shouldn't be too difficult in this case.

Well... how do you make them start at the VERY same beat 1 then? I mean, all of them at once?
By correcting their positions via replacing the "anchor" (or whatever it is called in your host)?
That'd require doing it one by one - counting samples, eh? Tedious!
Or by using some track delay parameter? Not that exact...

Of course, you could just line them up and give a f**k about the tempo of your host - but that'd make adding MIDI material quite difficult.

Yes, this might be splitting hairs, but why don't people just get dbpoweramp (which is free) and use WMA or OGG? It's the best decoder anyways, so what do you lose?
It's not that I want to be a prick or so, but seriously, any sort of collaboration will become QUITE a bit easier with that.

[donkey tugger]

Oki, I've still got the original files, so I'll do them as ogg then as well, not a problem, and I'll edit my post in a bit when I've done it.

Ah well - I allready lined them up properly. So if nobody else cares, why bother?

[donkey tugger]

Well, Garret and Dave Spiers said they would have a f**k about too, so I might as well;

ogg files

and also here's a midi file of the string part;

A) MIDI download link doesn't work for me.
B) Another info: In case you plan to post things at 192kbps, mono only requires half the bitrate.
In other words: 96kbps/mono is the same quality as 192kbps/stereo - no matter whether you're using MP3, WMA or OGG.

Give it a few minutes, midi file is in the cue with some other shite. Indeed, I did the mono stuff at 112k , was the nearest option in dbpoweramp.

[Sascha Franck]

I got 96 for OGG as well.
