yeah it seems we aren't getting the permission, we'll have to think of a way to get this out, at least in an "informal" way if you get what I mean. Lots of songs are near finished, we should probably re-set a deadline while we finish the artwork and ""legal"" issues, cause people got lazy when the deadline was called off. It will be released under the moniker "backstage metal" because we cannot associate it with Andy's name as he is not involved in any way.

So guys, any ideas on how we should release this? and for a deadline? I'm thinking a Christmas release, as in make a deadline by the end of November so we can have it all done before christmas?

About "mastering", I'm thinkin maybe everyone should do their own mastering chains without getting it too loud/squashed, and one kind person could just do the simple task of normalizing all the tracks to a similar average volume, cause putting the load of mastering all the songs to one person sounds a bit complicated, it would be easier this way I think.

What do you say? I'm also gonna bump the artwork thread to know what we got there

my vote is on that one guy masters it all, should get more even result
 
he wanted to be a part of this and contacted me to do a song, but he said he would confirm if he managed to get the people to do it. So far he hasn't so it seems he ain't participating, although I sure would like if he was. Maybe he could be up to doing it, it's just a matter of asking.

In fact, I THINK I asked him once, can't remember.
 
As for the Mastering ya one guy should do it for sure.

In addition I think we should take these discussions over to the BSM forums, and anyone that doesnt come over we will assume isnt interested in continuing their involvement in this. Lastly I think we should just release it free and forego the donations portion of this. Obviously Wendy is not interested in this as its been nearly 5 months and we have gotten to reply from her or Dio management.

Digital download would be the best way and I would have a link on the download page to the stand up and shout organization's donation page. I've also realized that we don't have the publishing info on "Stars" from Hear N' Aid.... so I'll have to look that up and send another letter there.. and I could always do another follow up letter(s)..

Should I show a Christmas release date on the follow up letters? Maybe that will give them an idea that we're into the process a little more..

Who knows, maybe we'll get a response after I send these...

Go for it Paulie ... you're doing a great job man!

OT ... don't know if you got my PM but we have Ivan's paypal addy in the other thread now so if you get a chance to check it out and send your payment it would be greatly appreciated. If you already did, please let me know so I can update your status on the list. Thanks again Paulie:headbang:

I got it, check will be in the bank on Friday, and I will be sending it in either that night/saturday..
 
If we have to master ourselves, i suggest we decide a song that will be the norm and we all accord our mastering to this one for more consistency. Then someone will simply have to adjust volume and little tweaks to master the final CD.

Also I'm trying to get back into the process of re-mixing heaven and hell to see if I can improve it. Also I'm having a new computer at the moment.

We Rock has been more or less finished for a while. I'll review it when it's time to send it for mastering.
