Welcome to the planning thread for Gaming Art Musica Electronia's fifth release!
Who is G.A.M.E.?
G.A.M.E. is the GAF collective of musicians, from people working on Korg DS-10s all the way up to Logic, Pro Tools & Ableton.
Anybody is welcome to join at any ability level using any kind of equipment (while we're going for an electronic feel, there are all kinds of ways to achieve that which don't involve computers), all we care about is that you do your best, use this project to evolve as a musician, and work within the overarching theme. Even if the theme's not your thing, take that as a challenge to expand your repertoire. You might learn a trick or two that works well with what your main musical focus is.
What is this project?
Our tentative plan here are summer tracks - everybody knows that every summer there are a couple of songs that define it. That's what we're trying for here - bumpin', fun, groovin' seasonal, whatever you feel fits the theme. And if you can work in a gaming angle, all the better.
How can people listen to my works in progress?
Open a free account at http://soundcloud.com. You can host and listen to your tracks there, and people can leave comments at specific points in the song. Link to your track in this thread, and we can all help each other out with feedback. Let's make this the best project we've done yet!
HELPFUL LINKS FOR MUSICIANS:
(Thanks to Mr. Nash)
Discussion on Mixdowns and EQing
All about Equalizing
Mastering and Bass Mixdown for 4/4 Hard-Dance music
Side Chaining tutorial
RELEASE DATE: Aiming for mid June
So if you want in, just post! The more the merrier, there's no track limit in the world of digital distribution.
