ok i dont know if this has been done before but what if i recorded a guitar line, then, forwarded the file to someone else to add bass for example then that person sent it to someone else for another instrument and so on and so forth. i think regardless of individual style of play this could make for something really cool or at least interesting. any takers?
we've done it, or at least tried before. I think one of the biggest issues was the lack of consistency of recording mediums, for instance I use an 8-track digital recorder, and can usb from my PC, so you give me a stereo track, I will put it on the 8 track in pure stereo, record another stereo track and then re-mix and send it along, whereas others who use garage band, pro-tools, etc.. some use extraction files, others actually separate synched but separated tracks for each instrument..
I'd be happy to add guitar or bass lines to something original though, if my method can work for the next person...
