Your band's shameless self promotion

I'll start it out. We recorded an acoustic EP back in August and it's finally seeing the light of day (band infighting caused the delay). I'm the singer/bassist. Band name is The Dime Sized Drops. Anyone who is a fan of the Headstones (or a drug addict) will understand the reference.

    Already did. But in case... (sorry, the sound's pretty bad and, since I Had written the lyrics a week before recording, I was bad, especially my voice/accent) :oops:

    I think should have had taken more time to do that.

    we have a thread or 2 on the board somewhere, but here it goes!

    i've been collaborating with a fellow pit member (Chris...or "2-feign-reluctance")for about 6 months. we play all of the instruments & it's all original. we live about 700 miles apart and have done it all online. we're releasing our first record in about a month or so on iTunes & Amazon and we're having an absolute blast!

    Good stuff man! I keep trying to coordinate this kind of project with a buddy of mine but we never get around to swapping files. Luckily I have a creative outlet with my band, but we don't hit all the areas I want to get into.

    how do you send the files? what program? I have two of my best friends, one in Toronto (bass), the other in Vancouver (drums), and I'm in Winnipeg (vocals, guitar), and I'd love to do something like this.

    here's a rough idea for you:
    1. say i record a song in Garageband (use any program)
    2. send the mp3 to Chris
    3. he adds his parts in Garageband & sends me an mp3
    4. if there are any changes to be made, we make them to the individual tracks
    5. he uploads the individual aif files to dropbox
    6. i grab the tracks & place them in the song
    7. the trickiest part is the mixing, which i do next.

    i can't remember which audio recording interface he uses, but i use a Motu828mkII. we both use garageband & share files through dropbox. dropbox is a GREAT program & it's free. hope this helps!

    dude! that's badass!

    i'm in a simple high school jam band. we're not really much, but here are some clips of us 'jamming.'

    > that's me on guitar (with the funny nose/glasses on)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iXhQIAHenY
    > me on bass.

    we have our first show coming up next week...we might do a cover of never let you go by third eye blind or a medley of let's get it on by marvin gaye/use me by bill withers/lean on me by bill withers.

    feedback is appreciated.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    i agree with the first statement. it was new to us when we started it a few months ago. but now we have our system & it works for us.

    next Trent Reznor? hardly! just trying to make some decent music with a great friend. thanks for listening!
    I LOVE MUSIC.
