anyone know of an mp3 site or some website that we can all upload tracks to and download from FOR FREE?



I was thinking about finding a site we could use for this project. Okay, I've had some thoughts on this potential project and have still to figure out all the logistics. Obviously it is TOTALLY possible, many have done it so all we have to do is find out how it's been done in the past.

We can't just send a .wav file and have the next person add to it, them pass it on and so on. Doing that would give us zero control over the mix and quality would suffer. Instead we need each musician to record on separate .wav files. After that one of us (I'll volunteer) would need too do the mix down by placing each .wav file in its own track. So... how do we do that?

I also have this idea that one of us could start with a musical phrase or two then pass that on to the next person. The next person listens to it and adds to it, perhaps completing a verse. The next person might add a chorus. The next a verse. The next might think, "hey... a bridge between the verse and chorus would sound awesome," and add that. Someone else might come up with lyrics, or part of the lyrics. In other words it would be cool just to send something out there and have it evolve into something of it's own.

That is just an idea... just thinking out loud. On the other hand we could start with a complete structure, then add our own instrumentation, vocals and so on. We would still need lyrics though, so maybe we could decide ahead of time what that song would be about.

Chime in with your own ideas, or maybe you know someone who's already done this and we can get some tips to make this work. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest... I think we can have a lot of fun with this!



The wave file thing is the right idea. I have a friend who has a pro-tools studio who will mix it for us. All we have to do is send him some wave files that he can down load. I have already asked him if he would do it.
