2097.0. "Tag team multitracking" by FASDER::AHERB () Sun Feb 03 1991 02:27

    ANybody out there with a 4 track? Ive been wondering if anybody has
    tried getting a group of multitrackers and have each person add a track
    to a tape and then mail it to the next person.. For example somebody
    with drums or drum machine lay down a drum part and another person adds
    a bass, then a guitar and then the lead.. Somebody from one of the
    local BBSs tried it but no one else had a multitrack

2097.1	...	MOOV02::DERRICO	Stuck between Iraq & a hard place	`Mon Feb 04 1991 11:51`	3
	Oh...A Chain-Recording...! Let's start one... should we have a sign up sheet?
2097.2	like it already	SALEM::TAYLOR_J		`Mon Feb 04 1991 12:57`	3
	Fantastic idea........... count me in.......... JT
2097.3	What a cool idea	DNEAST::GREVE_STEVE	Greee Veee King	`Mon Feb 04 1991 20:07`	8
	Yeah, me too, I don't have a four track, but I can use one! Gree Vee King (rhythm guitar, pass it on)
2097.4	chain reaction	GIDDAY::KNIGHTP		`Mon Feb 04 1991 23:23`	5
	If you guys want to send it to Oz I would be glad to contribute. (Does it mean that if I don't I will break the chain and something bad will happen) P.K
2097.5	speed/noise reduction	MILKWY::JACQUES	Vintage taste, reissue budget	`Mon Feb 04 1991 23:58`	17
	Only problem is that everyone would have to be recording at the same speed, and it sure would help if everyone had the same noise reduction. Many 4-track cassette machines operate at higher than normal speed. Cassettes normaly run at 1 7/8"/sec. High-speed machines operate at 2-3 times that speed. Tascam and many others use DBXII noise reduction. Many of the Fostex machines use Dolby C. I may be interested in contributing a track or two. I use a Tascam Porta-1 which operates at normal speed and has DBXII. Mark
2097.6	How noisy art thou...	MOOV02::DERRICO	Stuck between Iraq & a hard place	`Tue Feb 05 1991 10:52`	5
	I have a 246 which is the same as Marks. We'll have to get a consensus on who has what. John/bass
2097.7	Tuning reference, instrument	MEMCL1::KELLYJ	Tone droid	`Tue Feb 05 1991 13:14`	6
	We could put tuning info at the head of the track, but as far as noise reduction, I'm stumpled. My deck has dbx. I'll contribute a pedal steel part, if we decide to include some 'twang' music or some Steely Dan.
2097.8	my gear	GIDDAY::KNIGHTP		`Wed Feb 06 1991 00:12`	3
	I have a porta one. If worst comes to worse we could record it with no noise reduction. p.k
2097.9	Only inquiring minds...	MOOV01::DERRICO	Stuck between Iraq & a hard place	`Thu Feb 07 1991 14:44`	15
	So...Where do we start? Who's on First? Q's: How many songs? Who has any initial ideas? (I might) Should we all do DBX? What about mailing? Should this be done offline? etc... John/ Bass
2097.10	My multitracks in the shop now but...	FASDER::AHERB		`Fri Feb 15 1991 23:46`	13
	I have a Fostex X-26.. I say we shouldnt worry about noise reduction until the mixdown...also what type of music you all play? I can play either a bass or guitar part.. My Boss drum machine is too weak sounding to be used...If I play the Bass part it will probaly sound like Geezer Butler .. Ill be playing pentonics everywhere.. If I play lead guitar it could be simple depending on what the guitar and bass all playing... Who can put in the drum part? How about one track per person? The person who wants to start (whoever has the percussion..if its REAL drums thats even better) should speak up.. So tell me what instruments you play and we can figure out who does what...
