OK, I have some announcements, and I need volunteers. Please read the following information, and if you can help, then please do.
We are going to mix all 5 entries. Each person must pick one song to mix officially. What you do beyond that is your own business.
Each song (ideally) will have 10 mixers. One person in each group will be the point man for setting up the chain of getting the files to the others in the group. It shouldn't be too expensive or too labor intensive for any one person.
If you are the point man, you should be able to send out a CD of files to 3 people. Each of those 3 people can make copies and send them to a couple of people. If there's someone in the group that has a broadband connection, and can get it to our international users, then that would be great.
I am not concerned with the fact that some will have the songs mixed long before others have gotten the files. That doesn't matter. All I ask is please do not send out your mix to each other until everyone has mixed the song. You DO NOT want to listen to someone else's mix before you mix it, or while you're mixing it. It will taint your perception of the song.
First thing I will need is a volunteer for each song to be the point man. Once I have the point men, we will open up a thread for each song where you can sign up (again, I know but this is necessary)for that song. If I see one song getting too many people, I'll lock the thread, and you'll have to mix one of the other songs.
I know this is going to cost each of you money. I don't want to get into collecting admissions, and paying for things, it's too much work. Most people will only have to pay a little shipping costs, and perhaps some CD costs. If you just can't afford to be paying shipping costs, let your Pointman know, and he will make sure you're last in the chain. If you choose to mix off 2", you're going to have higher shipping costs. That's just the way it is.
3 of the songs can fit on a 2" reeel comfortably track wise, and time wise at 30ips. Those would be Blatchford, Here Again, and UFO. Each person that gets the 2" tape must pay to have it shipped to the next person. Perhaps someone has an extra reel of 2" that they could spare for this. I really wouldn't worry too much about being last in the chain on the analog master. You're not going to lose that much high end. It'll be fine.
When we get closer to getting some mixes completed, we'll deal with the final hurdle, puting the songs on CD, and shipping them out.
Volunteers.
I need a Pointman for each song. I need a volunteer for a reel of tape. I need a volunteer to make the transfer of the 3 songs to analog. Sign-up here. If you see a Pointman already signed up for a song that you would like to do, you can sign-up as back-up, then the pointman can rely on you to help him.
Let's see those names!
Coming soon... The Rules.
