?Following the Success of the first Guitar Gathering Collaboration (GG1) let's work together to write and record another song just for fun. It will be a team effort and anyone at any level is encouraged to join in. ? Please volunteer to do the tasks below. I will pick up any tasks that do not get volunteered for and I will help anyone who wants to join in. ?Do not worry if you have never done this before, I am here to help you and I know that other members of this forum will also help. Please feel free to send me a private message if you are not sure whether to join in. ?This is a great opportunity for people to learn how to do home recordings and music production and also for more experienced players to join in the fun of a collaboration and share their knowledge and experience, we need all skill levels! ?One of the great things about working with others is that you end up with a song that has been crafted by a pool of ideas, I always find it a useful and fun learning experience! The production tasks will be in a slightly different order this time to make the rhythm guitar track easier to do. 1) Fretless will Choose a tempo (bpm), time signature (eg 4/4), key (eg. C major) and a song structure (eg. intro, verse, chorus, bridge outro) with bars and chords. 2) Mandy will Record a rhythm guitar track. 3) Fretless will record a drum track. 4) Mandy will Record a bass guitar track. 5) Gotto will write some lyrics and choose a title for the song. 6) Gotto will record the vocals. 7) Fretless will Record a lead guitar track (solos, fills). ? Gotto will Mix and master the song, this includes providing intermediate mixes for collaborators who want a specific mix in order to or record their parts. Please note: Please record your track in 24 bit and, if you can, at 48kHz, saving your track as a wave (WAV) file. If you cannot do that then do the best quality you can. If you do not have any recording software you can use Audacity, it is free to download and easy to use. We have a shared online space from previous collaborations for uploading and sharing the audio files; I will send a PM with the link to new contributors. If you have already done a particular audio task (ie. drums, bass, guitar, vocals) in a previous collaboration then you are welcome again but do please let others have a chance to choose first. Please do not negatively criticise others' contributions ?Let the fun begin! ?????? We ended up making a song called The Way It's Meant To Be Please click on this link to listen The Way It's Meant To Be
