evolving idea...
I also work with a couple of very good fem singers. I'll check out the tune and see...Then again, there's always tanlith's ex!
As far as your question as to where to turn in the WWW for players/singers, it's one that's definitely crossing my mind more and more.
My website is still being built (aren't they all?) Anyway, I plan on having a setup that will simply point players and writers to other players/writers with DAWS. I myself play & record violin/string parts for fellow cyber writers (I must say the latest I added to over at
www.artistcollaboration.com is a pretty cool ditty...I didn't write it though..check it out -
) The method of adding the string tracks is just as you describe - DL'd an MP3, turned on SONAR and let the fun begin!
Anyway, I can't seem to find a straight-forward site that offers this simple connection service (no discussion boards and certainly no ads! I do believe one exists...maybe?..if not, here I come!)
Originally I was just going to hang my shingle out for my own services (for a VERY reasonable fee ..HA!) but I've read a few posts here and there that have lead me to believe that a site simply pointing to email addresses, personal websites, and maybe sound samples of OTHER players may be worth building.
There would be no charge to be added to the appropriate catagory (i.e. click on GUITARISTS, DRUMMERS, etc...) because it would be a simple matter of adding a link. Hopefully folks stabled there would make a bit of $ from being hired by fellow cyber-music producers...I know I'd use such a list for tracks that can't be found locally at a reasonable cost.
I've done several songs this way and so far it's been a very cool way to work. Yea, having the writers hundreds or thousands of miles away is a bit of an obstacle in the creative process, but there are some great players out there with DAWS that can make it happen in short order.
Again, my idea would be little more than a list.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
