I know some fan forums that do this and it's a cool idea.
I'd be willing to participate. Just don't expect studio quality tracks from me as I have sold most of my home setup and will build a new one probably a year from now.
Anyway, personally I can do:
- Electric guitars
- Bass and drums: using VST instruments (though it would be better to have a bass player play and record with the real thing)
- Orchestral parts and some choir stuff: using orchestral sound libraries
- Some keyboards
* For musical arrangements and ideas, everybody is welcome to submit his in the form of midi files, Guitar Pro files, or (less preferably) actual recordings.
* And then, for instrument recordings, it would be better to have the electric guitar players work on the guitar parts, the bass players on the bass parts, and so on. I don't know if we have a vocalist in here but that would be welcome too.
* Mixing and mastering would be done by those of us who can do it best and hopefully have a pair of studio monitors.
* The music would better be SymX-influenced but not necessarily so.
* I don't think we should worry how long it would take.
What do you guys think?
