Single Cell Software

Good morning,

Last night I was reading responses to another post of mine in the 'Off-topic' forum, about electronic music artists and the definition of a 'real' musician.  User RobFarley mentioned something about how we 'collaborate' through this site, whereas some more traditional instrument players would get together and have a  jam session together.

I'm proposing a 'jam session' for us.  I'm wondering if anyone is interested in this:  Get 14+1 Caustic Warriors lined up to put a track together.  The way it would work is the first person adds a machine to Caustic and creates patterns, and adds it to the sequencer.  Then the second person does the same thing, and so on down the line.  Each person can also add effects for his/her machine.  When all 14 machine slots have been filled, then the +1 (15th) person mixes and masters it all, and then uploads it to the Caustic group on Soundcloud and creates a post here with the completed track.

Remixes:

1.  by Skarabee

2.  by Bojeroo

3.  by mcnasty99 (Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics)

RULES (as suggested by TYRINASOARUS):

1. Everyone gets up to 3 days of editing before their turn is surpassed and they are placed somewhere else.
2. When the last editer posts, he also includes the warrior list in the discription.
3. The track can't surpass 5 min.
4. After the track is done and Jason pulls everything together, we all look at the file before its uploaded and post a yay or nay and post our opinions on things that can be changed for the better (some people do certain things better than jason) and once we all reach reasonable, mutual satisfaction <with the project> the warrior with the most followers uploads and each warrior repost the song.

Caustic File Naming Convention (Suggested by mike):

Follow the format "Communtity Jam 1 01.caustic" The "1" is the track (our first collab project), and the "01" is the member's machine/rack number. When you are done, they upload it through a comment on this thread, and it will be sequential. Once the previous member's track is up and all can see the file in the comment, the next member downloads that .caustic file and goes to work.  The cycle repeats until member #14 has uploaded his file and then jblann1 works his magic.

"Behind the Scenes" Video side-project by jblann1:

If you are able to, capture video or screenshots of your part in this collaboration.  Send the files to eipstudiosohio at gmail dot com and Jason is going to throw together a short video of how our end-product from this project was put together.

"Remix Guidelines" (Suggested by Gharwen):

For the remixes I would advice some rule:

• only use existing pattern (including not used pattern like ska did it)
• no change of preset parameters for the sound of a machine (except maybe cutof in modular like mniip did it in his machine because it's like a fade-in/fade-out)
• maybe no change of FX, except wet knob (in this term things like EQ, filter, compressor and limiter aren't FX to me, so they can be changed, they only influence the signal not the sound)
• file naming: CommunityJam1_%nickname% (mine for example CommunityJam1_Gharwen)
