I hear you brother.Lol @ brand new members suggesting things.

Maybe I'm different than most people, but when I change something, I destroy all evidence of anything before it. In other words, when I make any changes to a song, I delete anything before it. Not only here, but also in my computer. But I'm a bit strange that way. I never write anything down, I never document how I recorded something, including amp settings, mic placements, etc....I don't use templates of any kind. Every single song I do, I start with a blank page and a blank project in REAPER. So, basically, there is only one version of anything I've ever done, and that's the last version.
So, even if they changed edit options here or anything else, there will only be the "latest" version of anything I do. Ever.
True. Besides, I can barely even listen to anything I do if it's more than a week old. Why would anyone else want to?I'm mostly the same way. And really, in my time here, I'd guess that you and I have probably posted more songs in here than anyone. I'm not saying that to brag or anything, it's just probably true. You and I have posted a lot of stuff in here. So....we're supposed to keep every single incarnation of every mix we've ever made? That would be a lot of stuff.
I thought about doing an interactive "let's build a mix" thread where I'd post up scratch tracks, then scratch with drums, then drums and bass, then so on and so on just to show how I personally build a mix and let people chime in however they want from start to finish.
Then I realized it seems like a kind of douchey thing to do like I'm some kind of badass or something, like anyone gives a fuck, so I put it out of mind.
Nah, It's a good idea, I reckon.
I think it's fair to say that a lot of people around here, whether beginners or not, would aspire to your mixes.
Same goes for RAMI and a lot of other guys.
Maybe it could be by vote or invite?
Not everyone would want to, but I'm sure the guys with serious honed skills wouldn't mind doing one a year or something.
Why not just make the clinic the one place where that could happen (multiple mixes addable via unlimited edits) and leave it up to each poster whether or not they wanted to leave a series of mixes, or delete everything as they go?

Well, since my name came up, I'll just say that other than the fact that I'm lucky if I get 3 people commenting on my tunes lately, so it wouldn't really be worth my time. But even when people did used to comment on them, the difference between my first mix and last mix was barely audible. It's usually small little adjustments that not many people would even notice if they weren't pointed out.
What I think is way cooler is what you do, Steen, which is to show the progress of a song from seed to ripe.
I would have no problem posting the drum track, then the bass and drums, then the bass drums, and guitars, etc....until the tracks are finished. But again, I'm know myself. I'd lose interest within a couple of posts, especially if everyone's sitting on the sidelines, listening but not commenting.
Agreed, it works as is - Add on new continuing' stuff if you like, if the edit timer kicks in use a new 'rev2 continuing post.Yeah sure. I just figured that ^ is something people can do right now if they want to, assuming the edit function comes into play, ...
No need to apologize. Nobody's obliged to post anything if they don't want to. I also don't want to derail this thread, it's not about me. Like I said, I only commented because my name was mentioned. But since it was mentioned, I'll just say that it's a little discouraging when every time I check my thread, I scroll down and see a regular in it (which I have to assume they're listening), and then leaving without commenting. I mean, seeing about 20 people you know sitting in your thread, but only 3 of them commenting (and one of them is sure to be Greg), I start to wonder why I even bother. I posted a song yesterday. If it disappears with the 2 or 3 comments it has, that's it for me.EDIT: I bet of people listen to your mixes and don't comment.
I know I've stopped posting "Sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing". Sorry about that.
