    you should use Reaper, it's what I use and it works really nice. do you have a mic?

    my entire recording setup cost like $150 and I get really nice sound for it

    That's awesome! Yep, I have around 8 different mics for different purposes. Sure SM57 and 58, some condenser mics, a few EV Cobalt instrument mics, kick drum mic, etc., I have a Mackie 1202-VLZ3 12 channel mixer that I use to record all 'live' instruments' like acoustic, drums/percussion. I also use it to mic my amps on occasion, though I just prefer to direct 'line in' if I'm using my Les Paul from my Fender out to my iMac.

    I think I have something for us to start on if you all are keen. This particular track I didn't use any mics, just the outboard mic on my iMac to record the acoustic guitar. I was in a hurry that day to just record something. I have a ton of unfinished songs/ideas to choose from if this doesn't work out. On this track I have a drum loop on it for guidance. So I was thinking we could get this completely worked up as an instrumental and then throw it over to my buddy Matt for vocals or Rollings who volunteered last month to write/sing on whatever we come up with. That would be the final recording part(s) before you all e-mail me your tracks and I put it all together.

    So, we need a bass track, live drums and percussion, some lead work and perhaps a proper guitar solo. ehbacon, how about you do some guitar work on this first. Once you get a track you are satisfied with, mix that track down as an mp3 track and e-mail it to me. I'll contact a few of you on here via PM about doing some stuff with this.

    Ah, dammit, the idea I had is gone. Can't find it anywhere. Here are two I think we should try instead. First one...

    I manually crafted a drum track - and played to it. It's not perfect, but I think it'll clean up nicely!

    On second thought all, Mignelli is going to get drums on it first and then we'll proceed from there with ehbacon adding some lead work, I've contacted Dudeman about bass duties for this one, Rollings for vocals/lyrics, and Dewie for anything else he wants to add. Minnelli says it might take him a bit to get drums recorded, which is fine. No deadlines. Just fun, hopefully! Let's give the "MG Collaboration (Electric and Drums #3) I posted above a shot!

    Things are in motion - if the drummer is excited that's a good sign! Haha! Mignelli has the files and will keep me posted on his progress. Looking forward to seeing how this goes!

    What do you guys think?

    This one.

    The melody jumps(and what will be the words) from this song so much that I thinks it's obvious and that everybody has got to be seeing it. I will record a rough draft of the melody going along with this song and rough draft of present words and the near or final words will meld in a week or so. Hope its ok with others that I take this part. Thank you so much!

    I can't wait to listen to the other songs!!

    I mean, they're right there

    Hey is it alright if I take the liberty of , what's the word, organizing the song a little as I hear it, like repeat a little part of that this here and there, stay longer on this part or that organized into neat verses chorus, bridge, etc, repeat?

    this is and will be such a kick-ass song, it's not even funny.

    Ok, I'll be quiet for a little bit now

    Glad you like this one Rollings! We're actually going to give "MG Collaboration (Electric and Drums #3)" a shot first. Mignelli is working on drums for it as we speak. If you want to explore and have some fun with Acoustic Demo 2013 too, go for it! You can manipulate, chop, edit, write, record whatever you'd like with it. Let me know if you'd like an mp3 of the song to work with.
