Call me old fashioned,but shouldn't mixing and editing be the last things done?
As far as I can think of it one should first have something to edit or mix,like music
or at least some noise.
Midi files came to my mind,because I found that I'll run into trouble with almost
any musical software in conjunction with these fucking realtek devices.There is
asio4all.but that'no reliable solution either.But since I can use a Yamaha sequencer
that reads and writes midi files,that would be the solution for me.For producing
and combining musical tracks at least.Mixing is another thing.
I think we should decide what we want to do,piece of music with,at least,a basic structure
or an ambient soundtrack or a
soundcollage.Do we want to develop something together or
should one of us provide a basic piece,like dr ,bass and keybds for example.
That kind of stuff.
Back in the 80s a bunch of somewhat famous musicians started a collab with a bassline
that was sent around and every participant added something,which is just another example.
Btw I have never done something like that,too,makes it kind of interesting.
