Open Collaboration Project, or just for fun project.
Posted: Sat Dec 28, 2013 11:38 pm
Ok folks, lets try something here and see if we cant have some fun and learn something!
Rough mix, no tricks, no effects, just a simple three track project, drums, bass and rhythm guitar. 12 Bar I-IV-V blues shuffle, real basic stuff.
Play along for practice. Replace or add parts. Use it as a template of sorts for your own song project. Record your track and submit it in return and if we collect enough, we could have some remix fun! Whatever you want, wide open. Have some fun.

*NOTES: Updated 1/31
The original rhythm tracks are in the folder marked START HERE.
Alternatively, heres an MP3 version of the backing track:
https://soundcloud.com/mbliss01/12-bar- ... king-track
If using the MP3 version, note that I have added a metronome intro for 1-1/2 bars to help synch things up. Please copy and paste the first bar into the beginning of your tracks before rendering and sharing. It makes thinks much quicker for me when I add them to the project.
If you use the Dropbox project file, I suggest you open the .MX6 project, rename and "save as-" so the project is saved to your Mixcraft projects folder locally.
If you upload your track or tracks to share, please let me know via the Mixcraft Collab thread:
http://forums.acoustica.com/bbs/viewtop ... 23&t=14919
Or PM me, thats fine. Then I can add the tracks to the project.
If you create your own project from any of the tracks and wish to share the project files, you need to open a Drop Box account and install the app. (Free and easy.) https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTIyO ... rc=global9
Be sure to RENAME your project, SAVE TO FOLDER, and drop a copy of the project folder into a Drop Box folder, and share the link.
I can set up the folder to be openly shared by any of you that use Drop Box, that way we could all access all the tracks submitted from one common place, from a link right here in the thread, and you could simply drop your project file folder into the Mixcraft shared project folder as I have done with Tom's as an example.
But it requires sharing e-mail addresses. I DO NOT RECOMMEND PUBLICLY POSTING IT ON THE FORUM! But if you have Drop Box installed, and wish to participate in this way I will attempt to set it up, just PM me your e-mail address and I will continue to figure this out! (I think? Still learning!)
Couple of minor changes. I have changed the filing of the project, and the link has changed.
And I realized we do have to have a few basic rules to start with:
One, if submitting a project, be sure to RENAME your project. If we don't, we will end up with an unusable mess.
Second, by submitting tracks, or projects, you accept that others may use your files anyway they wish in their own projects. If you don't want that, you can still use the START HERE project files as you wish, create whatever you wish, and just post to Soundcloud or whatever other service you might use. No problem!
Also, I am open to suggestions on making this idea work as smooth as possible. Please join in and lets MAKE SOME NOISE together!
PS, there's some more info/discussion in another thread here:

But I am trying to keep most of the discussion right here in the collaborations thread.
