What's Up Guys & Gals!
@lyndsaybowes and I recently were able to purchase a small but effective home recording audio interface. Last night we played around a little and recorded a quick guitar and vocal track for @lyndsaybowes. It turned out really well and we sent it to @davidfar to add some more instruments and mix and master it. Ok, I will get to my point now.
What I'm looking to accomplish
I'm looking to work together to a lot of different musicians on Steemit to create a really interesting album. I would like to get together as many people as I can to work on this. I want to create a 10-15 song album consisting of many mdifferent members with different ideas. I'll provide a list of all the required musicians that I will need.
Band Members Required
Lead Vocalists
Backup Vocalists
Lead Guitarists
Rhythm Guitarists
Electric Bass Guitarists
Upright Bass Players
Drummers
Other Stringed Instruments (Violins, Cello's etc)
Piano Players
Synth & Keyboardists (Really hope someone has a Moog)
Brass Section
Lyric/Poem writers are welcome as well
any other weird instruments will also be accepted
What to do
Please sign up in the comments section what instrument or instruments you play and if you play more the one please list them in the order that you would prefer them. After the signup is complete I will know where we stand as far as how I will organize the band.
The album's concept
The album will be centered around an "Activists/Peace" theme. All songs will be about real life, activism, peace, change etc to spread awareness and make the world a better place.
I would like to see what kind of response I get to this and how many people sign up before I describe the structure of the songs etc.. and all other info.
Look forward to working with you all.
This is a really great idea Brendan! I'm in :) , I just wanna say anyone who didn't had a mic, they don't need to buy a Neuman or any other high price Microphone brands, even with cheap mics they can record, and I am sure that when someone can buy an instrument :))) then they can buy a cheap mic easier, but they have to be sure that their mic is condenser to have a better quality
Here is a cheap Mic with a good quality and low budget (50$) :
----^-----
The Good thing about that mic in the video is that it's USB and you don't need to buy a Soundcard for it!
and I also found a link to Amazon :
https://www.amazon.com/BC-Master-Microphone-condenser-microphone/dp/B072HJ1683/ref=sr_1_73_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1515908136&sr=8-73-spons&keywords=microphone&psc=1
I think a 50$ mic is not much and If anyone couldn't buy a mic, they can also find a studio with low price and record for 30 min and then its done :)
and if there was no other way, you can record with your devices and see which one has not much noise and doing it with that. the noises in music filling the track and I also can cut off some of those noises but it also will shape the sound of your instruments so its better to buy a cheap and good mic :)))
peace!!
Awesome! I'm so glad you're in brother!

I know you, you know me.
I know Lyndsay also because she is the most supportive of everything I did since day one here. If she/you want a track of any kind of noise I do, on any instrument I play, she can call it and I'll oblige of course.
How can I not offer it?
Also I have a mad love for @davidfar and I know he will be able to fix any of my raw dead cow sounds into something gentle and subtle (yeah right :)
Oh I was going to be contacting you even if you didn't respond to this post. We always need @vachemorte's contribution!! :)
haha you know where to find me :)
Man, its an honor, you are a pro music engineer and movie director man :))) thanks for the kind words, I just try to do something good :))
many thanks!!
don't be modest YOU KICK ASS!! bang I just said it. Deal with it :)
LOL :)

Really good initiative.
I can actually sign-up... I play few instruments like electric/acoustic bass guitar.
But, what I would like to play most, is Croatian traditional instrument called tambura.
It's a string instrument. I can say that by sound, it can be something between acoustic guitar and mandolin.
That's awesome!!! I would love the "Tambura" to be a part of this!
A small problem is that my equipment is not top-notch, but I would like to be a part of this.
If not this time, at least in the near future, as I'll probably invest Steem dollars in better equipment ( I started few days ago ).
Do you have anything to get a half decent sounding recording completed?
Not really, I am a student and don't have any earnings besides occasional gigs with my band.
Hopefully, I'll get lucky with a post in the near future, so I can buy something better.
I already have a shop that my friend told me about, and that they accept bitcoin.
If you want a decent audio interface to plug into the computer to record music, look into the Behringer U-Control UCA222. I have one and it works well, as long as you have something like a line output from your amp, or a mixing board to hook up to the interface. The interface has RCA jack inputs and outputs, and a USB cable to plug into the computer. They're lot too expensive either.

This is great news!! Glad you signed up! :)
I am a bass player and singer. When I was in a band many years ago, I sang a lot of harmony and some lead vocals, and played bass. I'm not good enough on the guitar to say that I'm a guitar player. I did a couple of open mic entries before Christmas that you can check out if you want to see what I sound like.
I did the bass parts for Buckydurddle's collaborative Christmas songs, and I just did a collaboration with Soundwaves Photon. I'm also working on something with Davidfar right now.
I've been using the recording program Audacity to do my recordings. I'm still learning all the details of the program, but I'm getting a pretty good handle on it now.
The kind of music that you're talking about doing really speaks to me, I grew up listening to protest songs in the late 1960s and early 70s
Amazing. Glad to have you onboard. I will touch base soon.
I'd definitely be interested in this, if you need a lead or rhythm guitar player. I've also got a drumset and an 8 track recording setup with mics to record it, but I'm not sure how available i could be with them because of my kid. Guitar for sure, though.
Great!! This is going to be fun. I'll be in touch soon

I have an African drum and also a drum kit, but the last one depends a bit on if I get the space to set it up in ready on time :)
African drum sounds great if you can't get set up in time. I'll touch base soon :)

Ah thanks. Will do. Sorry, I completely missed the first message you sent.
Hey, can a budding musician participate? I'm interested.
What is a budding musician? Like a beginner?
Yes, a beginner.
If so then yes of course if not then please explain

Steemit community is really uniting the people from different works of life. Good initiative @hendrix22
Thank you! Are you able to sign up and contribute?
Im interested but not in working on google. If there is a way around that I have a home studio and I have written several songs dealing with waking to see the slavery of this world system. I have an album that deals with the frustration of trying to leave behind the corrupt but finding that even what you thought was outside it all is in fact another arm of the system. So, a collaborative album with members of a community seeking freedom and peace is something I would like to participate in. You can hear one side of my vocal, writing and guitar [Here] (https://dsound.audio/#/@truthminer/driftwood-scavenger-in-fields) . Peace.
Gotcha! what you're saying is Fuck Google! ah dude I totally agree. I will do this a different way.

Hello, I am an Audio Engineer and play Guitar and Bass, I also have a home recording studio. If you need oriental musicians like Darbuka players and such I can provide you with that too, if you want tracks to be recorded here and sent to you then I am ready. Just let me know please I will do my best. If you get an overflow of guitar players please prioritize other Steemians since I could put my effort into recording too if needed. Are your recording equipment complete or are you missing any? May peace be with you
This is incredible! I'm glad you just signed up! I will be in touch shortly with more info or questions!

I'd like to sign up as a vocalist :) I have experience in all kinds of singing except grunting and I recently bought a microphone to record.
Mainly I am training myself in reggae, rap and opera, but in the past I tried out pop songs, ballads, chansons and musical... and probably more. My pitch is usually soprano, but I have a very expanded reach. I am also trained in adding second voices etc

I play guitar (electric and acoustic) as well as singing a bit. I've actually been doing some online collaborations with friends lately. There used to be a great community around the Six String Bliss podcast who did a lot of this, but the podcast ended. It's a great way to gain some experience of recording.
Sweet! I look forward to working with you. I will be in touch soon!

Hey, I’m a singer/songwriter/piano-keyboard player and a producer with a home recording studio. I’m curious what this project will turn out to be.
I also give songwriting workshops and love to cultivate awareness in songwriting. Hit me up with more info when ready!
Will do! Thank you for signing up!

I love this idea!
I can play lead/rhythm guitar, electric bass, synth/keyboard, or drum machine. I think I have a basic Minimoog softsynth (as well as a bunch of others), but I'll have to double check later. I also have a fair amount of plugin emulations of classic mixing hardware, so I can also help out with mixing/mastering, or even if you just want to get a particular tone/vibe on an instrument.
I haven't uploaded much yet, but you can hear some of my stuff over on DSound to get an idea: https://dsound.audio/#/@galoisconnection
YES!!!!!!! Finally a moog! I will be in touch very soon.

Great idea, @hendrix22! Would you be interested in song submissions as well?

Had a hard time getting verified on the chats, @hemdrix22, so put the tune in question up as a blog post for your consideration in a very raw form.
ok awesome man. I didn't even know you had to get verified for Steemit Chat. I need to figure something else out anyways people don't like Google either and I agree they're shit!
Agreed re google. Chatting with my sister-in-law about YouTube in front of her smart TV the other day and an explaination of how to login and watch YouTube videos appeared on her screen. They are listening at least at the AI level! A bit unnerving for us at the time. 😎
Needless to say the song can be given a creative commons copyleft should it be of interest for your to use.
Will also make another effort to get on discord. The email verification keeps trying to send a java pic verification to my Tor brower to ensure it is not a bot. Needless to say Javascript is configured off. Will try resetting Chrome as my default to get through that step.
That's disgusting! I don't like that at all. I will see how we can do this in a better fashion. I want everyone who wants to be involved to be able to be involved.
Downloaded the MixPad app for the Galaxy and threw some effects on that raw demo take. Damn but effects are forgiving. 😆
Take two.
Think this app might be worth upgrading to get that guitar on its own track. 😎

Excellent. Thanks for the link. That is all that was needed. 😎
If you need pedal steel guitar, resophonic guitars and other slide styles I am here! 👍
p.s. I use Cakewalk Sonar Pro and Band in a Box.
