I am starting this thread based on the conversation in another thread so we have a dedicated place to discuss it.
The idea that was thrown out is to have a place where people can create and upload backing tracks so others can pull them down and record themselves playing along with them, or singing if you will, and upload them to share with everyone. This leads me to some thoughts.
This would include people of all playing levels. There will be no negative critiques on anyone's playing, singing, recording or mixing. It is to be a positive thing to help uplift each other and encourage everyone to experiment and do that they enjoy doing. People can ask for advice on playing, recording and mixing if they want to and we can give our advice to help someone get better at the whole process. We will all improve through the process.
Multiple people could provide backing tracks. We will probably want to stay away from backing tracks produced by someone else. I have some that I purchased a very long time ago. The folks that made them said they didn't have any issues with people sharing recordings they made with them as long as they disclosed who made the track. I just don't want to get into any legal issues with this. If we do use a commercial track and get a notification it will have to come down.
We need a site where we can host the recordings as well as post links. I am thinking that it would be a new thread for each backing track that gets uploaded. That way someone can pull the track down and do their thing and upload it to the same thread whenever they want to and we can keep each "song" in it's own area. We could do the posts here if there is no objection to that @JMintzer ?
Suggestions for somewhere to host the recordings? It looks like Sound Cloud will probably have a cost associated with it. I didn't dig deep enough to see what the cost would be for it. I don't know if there are any free sites.
I am also interested in who may be interested in doing tracks for this. I will throw in on it. Alright, throw your thoughts in this tread.
