For a long time I have wanted to do a mass collab project. But, until recently, I never had a good way to go about doing it.
After seeing the success of Remix Wars VIII. I got interested in doing some more work. So once I get my part finished for Legacy of Discord, I am going to start a new Massive Collab Project called "Brony Cartel".
here is the concept: Brony Musicians create and submit stems, loops, oneshots, or Midi files for me to craft songs with. This Project Album, which I plan on Releasing in July of 2015, will Roughly contain 20-26 songs.
Anyone can take part in "Brony Cartel". BUT most of the actual arrangement will be done by me. This is to assure constant quality and flow.
Side A of the Album will be original works created from the Loops and oneshots users create/record and submit.
Side B will be remixes and Revamps of Tracks from around the fandom. The hope is to have at least 10 -14 of these.
As far as how to contribute: here are the Rules:
ALL AUDIO MUST BE IN LOSSLESS FORMAT! PREFERABLY WAV!
1: As far as loops and oneshots, I prefer that artists with a subscriber count of less than 2000 submit these. These numbers stem from both youtube and soundcloud combined. This might change later, but for now, all original songs for the album will be based off of the content of less heard artists in the community.
2: For Midi and Stems:
For artists under 2000 Subs(youtube): Feel Free to submit your stems. Make sure to submit your stems with the Tempo and Key signature on either the file name or the zipfolder name. Plus a link to your original would be cool.
For artists with 2k+ subs on youtube: If in the event that a well known artist wants to join this project and offer stems to a track. I ask that you first post a link to your youtube channel. or just state your interest. I will private message you and check your songs out. If I find a particular track I am interested in remixing on the project, I will Private message you here on MLR about it. This is to keep a bit of secrecy and excitement for the album, because once people see the list of names involved, it will cause hype. I also request that all musicians of this level be flexible with songs that they are willing to offer for remixing. This is meant to be a next level project, and if we continue our recycling of old song remixes, this community will stagnate.
Here is an example of what work I can do with stems provided from multiple musicians and producers:
Project Layout:
Current List of Participants:
Agents of Discord
Julian Moon/JB
Andante Skie
ph00tbag
Freewave
PierceStrine
Release Date: July/August of 2015
QUICK RUNDOWN:
1: You guys Provide me the material. I will work said materials into songs.
2. Anyone can contribute. Provided they follow a few rules.
3 ALL CONTENT should be WAV format. AND have the Tempo and Key Signature in the File name.
Example: AgentsofDiscordSubBass001_C#Maj_125BPM.wav
OR for Stems: have said info at least in the title of the Zip folder.
While I cannot guarantee all submitted content will be used, all the creators of said used content will be listed when the album is released in both a text document and on the youtube uploads (with links to channels and what not).
I am out of town as i write this, so i realize that this is a bit... messy, and as such I apologize for that. hopefully its clear enough for people to get interested.
