Thread: The Dv Song Project

i can play the spanish guitar (aka accoustic...), piano and keyboard...

but i have no idea how to record stuff...

i might be interrested, though

I am an experienced guitar player, song writer and sound engineer. I would love to be part of this.

Im not much of a musician, but I can sing, I'd love to give it a shot! I wouldn't mind trying my hand at throwing in a lyric or two.

I am a pretty serious video hobbyist with the needed equipment. Maybe I can do the music video?

It would involve having everyone mail me clips of themselves in DV(not dreamviews) format. I could put it all together and add some special effects.

@CryoDragoon; you can download loads of recording programs. For example, I use Cakewalk Sonar 4 and Cubase SX3. It doesn't matter how did you record it, we just need raw wave file. Try to download Sonar 4 trial, it's easy to use with a little reading of help file.

@13redfan and Tom_Peace; you can start thinking and writing your thought about lyrics, what are you waiting for?

Come on people, we need more Share your ideas about song style or anything else.

Let's keep that musician search stuff till Friday. After that, we can start making music.

I'll keep the list in the first post.

That's really cool Seeker We can take ideas about that too. Maybe it'd be hard to take video clips for everybody but I think you can use your own material to make a video, maybe a dream related one. It's up to you

I play electric guitar (mostly rhythm), rap and use a digital sequencer for percussions and melodies (various instruments), so I'll help out in whatever way I can.

You are the man that i was looking for hehe.. It'll be nice to place a rap part in the song. Also the other stuff

I might help if you Like.
I Play guitar: lots of styles; Bossanova, Spanish Flamenco, Classical Guitar Picking Melodies, Ska and Reggae, Metal-ish Riffs, Punk riffs, funk and Soulfull riffs and mostly self made up music.
I also sing. alot. and always. as I'm falling asleep.

I also play Piano; I've got a Synthesizer with Great Samples.

Tomorrow I'm going to record some Music with my dad. Ska this time.

Okay SKA, you are in with every stuff that you can do

We will share things later.

It seems we have a million guitarists here We need more drum samplers, vocals...

If it's DV Song, then we need every single member to produce it

we need some violins and flutes or something...

you could create some nice mystical sh*t with spanish guitars, drums, violins and flutes... maybe some piano and electric guitar...

and yes... we need more drums...


we could make several songs


i really like this idea... let's do this... for real!!!!!!!!!& #33;!!!!


say, guys... where the hell did OpheliaBlue go??? she could sing, and she'd love to sing...
she made that german song for me, remember???
ever her site ("the chub" or opheliaservebeer or whatever) seems to be offline
what the hell happened??? O_o

I do guitar, keyboards, vocals, sax, cornet.... just about anything that makes a sound. Also do animation, video and soundtrack production- but most of those seem to be taken.

So, I'll settle for armpit farting, lead cowbel, and organizing the groupies backstage

I'd like to do part my part and help organize the groupies too

i play both guitars- electric and accoustic, but i do not know how to get it onto my ps. i can play lots of stuff, not one type of music, i adapt.

i suggest it is not something like punk rock, or hard music... i like flowing music, maybe latin/flamenco

I play electric guitar, but NOT THAT WELL... I could be any guitar that is NOT lead guitar.
I've been wanting a bass, too... Anyway.
I can do some basic mixing of muisic as well, I could easily put together a song. As in, taking an .mp3 of the guitar, one of lyrics, drums, everything else, and mashing it together. I can manage that. As for the actual playing, I can technically do it, but I don't know how to get it onto a PC.

All right! Let's do this thing. I'll start working on some lyrics, and post snippets when I have, then we can take all the lyrics we get from everyone who's writing and stick 'em together. As for vocals, well, if you guys send me some rythms or chorus bits I'll record me singing some bits.
Which programs would I use to record? Or just stick my microphone in and sing away?

You guys better find a recording musician for basic tips. I can help too We can settle this up after Friday.

@13redfan; Ya, we'll post each other all the stuff and then eliminate/change or whatever. Finally singer will say the words

As we are getting more people, we can think of making 2 groups and each group can make their own song. On the final stage, we can make a poll for the official one I think, making this project like a competition can add more fun Your ideas?

Yeah thatd be quite cool, it'd be quite a mission to organise though don't you think? I mean already there's 8 people in for making a song. How about we set a standard for the song, like length, style, chorus how many verses, name etc. so that we can all produce something along a similar line of thought?

Like, have everyone post names for the band, and names for the first song, then a poll to choose 1.

Then get all the lyricists (I think that's how you say it lol) to post their chorus' and verses, or snippets of verse, and then a poll for which is the best.

Then have 2 or 3 guys to mix the music in, and once we've all co-ordinated everything we can put the mp3s on and have a poll to see which is the best?

Then maybe have a competition for the best lyricist, best guitarist, best mixer, etc. etc.

I dunno that's my ideas

Wait, what kind of a song is this, anyway? What genre of music?

That sounds pretty cool, so put me as a maybe for electric guitar. If someone tells me what to play I can do something for you maybe.

"Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell him how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Leo...
Leo, who the fuck is Leo

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Leo..."

So am I in the band?

Shoot, you know what - I was working on a song this past summer called "Elusive Lucid Dream". I never really finished it (like most of my little music projects) but it was really inspired by this site. I dug up what had started (guitar, bass, and drum tracks). I'm in no way suggesting we use this, but what the hell, it's not like I have anyone else I could share it with that could relate to it.

Here's the tracks I mixed with GarageBand.(you'll probably need headphones to hear the intro - I had to compress the crap out of it due to uploading restrictions )

Below are lyrics for it which I attempted to mix in once, but didn't record enough takes to get a good sample.

Elusive Lucid Dream - Tornado Joe
<blockquote>Darkness never scared me
Without it we couldn&#39;t see into our minds
And how it opens up like a book in our hands
Torn pages, and a print that reads so fine....
<blockquote>(chorus)
...But it&#39;s so fucking hard&#33;

When you&#39;re sittin out back talking to your neighbor&#39;s favorite goldfish
Holding a mic in his hand - forcasting the weather, leaning on your fence
He asks you to remove your shoes, cuz you&#39;re standing in his bowl
So you do and never stop to ask why, cuz it all makes perfect sense.
</blockquote>
Now I&#39;ve done their procedures
I&#39;ve read them on the boards, and some worked fine
And the chat just gets so crowded
With all the talk of sex, and the colors that make me go blind...

<blockquote>(chorus)

You&#39;re in the ever elusive lucid dream
ever elusive lucid dream - lucid dream....

(guitar solo)
(sax solo)
(fadeout)</blockquote>
</blockquote>

I play the flute (and the guitar, but very badly), but I&#39;ve never tried using my mic to record myself playing flute before, so I don&#39;t know if I can help.

ohhhhhh I see why some song links don&#39;t work for me, I try to open them in FireFox but they can only be opened in IE for some reason. Oh well&#33;


*It would be nice to have a dream-like quality to the song, something a little strange, maybe a change in tempo at certain points.
*Some long winding strings or something similar.
*Some backwards sounds, high hat click and guitar solo (I can sort out the guitar part)
*Vocal line could use some Indian techniques with note bending and trills.
*Everyone that wants to can out their sounds in but we have to be delicate and not over power any other theme but instead have everything complimenting everything else.

I don&#39;t totally understand, what is the theme/type of music we should do. Like I said, I will be very happy to participate if someone tells me what to play, or at least what kind of sound to go for, and what role what I will play is. What sound are we going for?
