General Discussion [Forum Mixtape]

[Gezus]

^Do the remixes contain verses besides I.T.? I think the point of the mixtape is to get verses by forum members. Either way it doesn't matter I suppose, since it's a remixed track by a forum member.

Damn it!!!
I keep saying this and no one cares!!!
We should all collaborate on a project...
I'm most definitely down...

Yeah, yeah. Just practice your flow right now, how your equipment works best. Mic distance, any filters or whatever. Fuck around with your software and shit, try to learn how to get the best quality outta what you got. We'll wirk with whatever we got. Or start recording vocals over beats you know you wanna use. We'll try and get people to put up beats, and then you can start recording some vocals to those. We'll get whoever to record shit, see what works, what's good, 2nd takes, whatever. Cut and paste verses if we need to, lol. And then get someone to mix them in properly and whatever.

HAHA, maybe not the first try, but yeah, that shit would be grimy.

If ya'll want, throw one of my ImmortalTech remixes in there; like the Bin Laden Remix. I'll have to remake it to remove the tag, and remaster it completely with a "ImmortalTechnique.co.uk" tag on there to rep the forums. Could be a bonus track to get more people to download the tape ;) Let me know.

Personally, I like that idea. Have a verse or 2 jacked from Tech. With someone, without, whatever works. Whatever sounds best to everyone. See if you can throw up instrumental, vocal tracks for that. So people can spit verses over it and we can see if anything sounds good. I like Soundcloud cause you can upload .wav and allow people to download, I think. But whatever works, whatever everyone wants to use to pass shit around and preview with.



Also, I was thinkin we should get some threads up. "Forum Mixtape Beats", "Forum Mixtape Artwork", whatever, and get people to post recorded verses, ideas and shit. If people post shit in the threads ready to download right away, people can start trynna mix, remix, cut verses, try recording over different beats. Maybe anyone who posts a beat or a verse, can try to give the bpms if possible. If you made the beat, that's easy. If you got vocals, post the bpm of the beat you were listening to, if you know what it is. Include it in the filename, I guess? I would guess that it would make it easier to interchange verses between beats, make remixes, build beats around vocals, all that shit, but I don't really know if it's necessary. Just guessing it might be a good idea.

Got raps? Got beats? Know how to mix? Know how to sing? Can you do graphics? Post something. Once we start getting some stuff posted and people start picking stuff they like, we can start a list at the top of this thread of verses, beats and artwork that people are feeling, you know?

Post that up in the beats thread. Maybe an instrumental version too, so people can try to record versus over it too. That would be pretty sick, you know, unofficially on a track with Tech. HAHA. Dope shit.

[RapAddict95]

I would be down but I've never written a proper verse & I'm an OK rapper. But I have no mic

You should discuss track concepts, perhaps a Peruvian Cocaine type of joint with a different theme or story?

Does the track have to be exclusive to the Mixtape???...

[matt romney]

i can give some lyrics, can't rap tho. i'm a decent writer and would like to contribute

Drop whatever you want. People can figure out later if it works or not, fits in, whatever. The whole idea is to try to put something together, right? And maybe some promotion for people who got some skills, the forum and to get some practice while we're at it, so if there's something from another project or something, it's spreading their stuff around too. I don't see no issue, as long as they're cool with it.

im down for a bilingual track maybe with mario...
