Who wants to release an independant fusion music compilation

wallyadimeck	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 10:47 PM I want to get music from Dmusic, which is of some sort of fusion style. For example, Rock and Rap, but preferably more diverse ideas. And then we all submit our recordings to a central location. We price up getting cd's labelled, copied and covers printed (we design up a cover - or all submit one, and then vote on our favourite. the winner gets to choose what their track number is We all chip in for the costs, equal percentage, per track each. The person with the CD's is our "distribution arm". They send some CD's to each artist, and they have to arrange the music to go into as many suitable music shops in their area. They are responsible for promoting the CD in their area, and for keeping the stores filled, by "ordering" more CD's from that central location.

NeoFlash	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 11:03 PM Yeah, the music on here RULES compared to the shit on mtv, I could maybe make a few cds for it, God knows I have enough cds(437 cdrs unused)!
wallyadimeck	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 11:25 PM Only thing Neo Flash, I was thinking more like getting them done properly. If you want to just BURN them, we could all send our tunes to ME, and then I will send a master disc out to everyone, along with cover art. All ya need to do it photocopy covers, and burn the CD. Be a little more dodgy, but also probably a lot more chance of success. Whaddaya think?
theguppykillers	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 12:58 AM ummm ok
NeoFlash	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 1:09 AM You'd need tons of cd burners to do that. You need some people to help you with production, don't ya?
Coffine	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 2:16 AM How would you do this via email? I'm in if ya need some beats.
Coffine	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 2:17 AM as far as the making of the songs that is?
wallyadimeck	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 5:06 AM Coffine.... I meant, everyone who writes their own music, AND has a burner, --- sends a copy of their tunes to me. I burn them all onto 1 or 2 CD's, which forms the Compilation. THEN, I make some cool black and white cover art, make a copy for each artist, and post it to them VIA snail mail,with a copy of the cover art. Then each artist, just burns copies to sell themSELVES.... no need for MASS amount of burners. Just artists whom write SOLO music, and own their OWN cd burner need apply...LOL!
Coffine	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 5:12 AM ooooooo k thats leaves me out then. LOL good luck with dat.
GrooveTonic	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 3:36 PM can't you just send it to a glass etching company? How expensive would it be to do that?
NemoPhyte	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 6:08 PM homerecording.com compolation... he did all by his lonesome it took a lot of work and $$$ " id="18692">good idea... sounds like something my step-dad just did for for the homerecording.com compolation... he did all by his lonesome it took a lot of work and $$$
wallyadimeck	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 7:42 PM what's this stuff about glass etching???? CD's aren't like vinyl... you dun need to make a dub plate or nuffin. YOu just select the songs off ya hdd and burn em to a CD. As for COFFINE... yeah please, I want you on the compilation. I was just trying to spell something out to a few ppl
GrooveTonic	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 8:38 PM I am not one-hundred-percent-sure but... the cd's that your computer burn are ink based cd's. That is why they are blue or black or green. The cd's you buy commercially are physically etched into the surface. (Anyone confirm/refute? i'm not positive)
NeoFlash	Date: September 14, 2002 @ 9:20 PM My point is, if you use a good brand like imation, and a good cd burning program like musicmatch and not just the win xp burner, and a good computer like mine, the cds will last. If that Imation could last through that, I'd sayt it's as good as any store cd." id="18727">Groovetonic, I swear to god, this is a true story. I had made an Imation cd-r of about 50 mp3s, 192k-320k. I had been playing them in a sony s2 sports boombox. This was at a small park near my neighborhood, and I had lots of songs I didn't like on it, so I used it as a frisbee, and it was sitll on the ground in the park. I had taken out the cd with the stuff I wanted on it. It was a cruddy red memorex, and they suck. It skipped, and it sucked. Even when I told musicmatch to use hd cache and to test than write cd, on a good computer. That was 3 weeks later that I used that cd. It was very annoying, this P.O.S. memorex colored, so than my friend nick says "hey, there's a cd!" I tell him "how the **** do you expect it to work, it's been rained on, had tree branches drop on it, it's dirty, but it's worth a try. I took out a cd wipe from my boombox's battery compartment( I keep it there incase the cd gets touched by hand alot and skips) and wiped the cd a little bit. It was still scratched and had a tiny bit of dirt on it. I played it. The only songs out of the about 45 songs on the cd that skipped were Linkin park in the end and Final Fantasy IX's kuja theme. All the others worked. My point is, if you use a good brand like imation, and a good cd burning program like musicmatch and not just the win xp burner, and a good computer like mine, the cds will last. If that Imation could last through that, I'd sayt it's as good as any store cd.
PetulaClark	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 12:29 AM Shit, I had time this summer to burn some CDs! I would gladly pay for postage too.
wallyadimeck	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 9:10 AM GrooveTonic: You're partly correct. Computer burners and Audio burners are a bit different. The main difference, is that Computer burners use the YELLOW and ORANGE Book standards. Which is a data/audio format. Audio burners use the RED BOOK standard. Which is an audio only format. Most CD Players will play all formats, however occasionally you'll find an Audio Player that wont play the computer burnt CD's.... As for the way they are created. They are both "BURNT" using a laser.
Jennae	Date: October 1, 2002 @ 10:30 AM I don't have any problems with my computer burner. All my cd's have kept just fine.
wallyadimeck	Date: October 2, 2002 @ 11:17 AM yeah most people will not have a problem. just good to be aware of it (potentially).
GrooveTonic	Date: October 2, 2002 @ 4:53 PM neoflash: cool
wallyadimeck	Date: October 3, 2002 @ 9:46 PM So yeah, if anyone is interested, send your details (what you want on your part of the cover) and your tracks to: djhektic@optusnet.com.au
JCASTELLAIN	Date: October 7, 2002 @ 1:54 PM irratically.The trouble now is because CD burners are writing at very high speed, I've noticed these 'blue' Cd's getting rarer because the laser needs to be of different wavelengh(colour)to burn at high speed(40x)as do the CD media, and these new generation CDs will not always play in older CD players properly.The new audio players are being designed to play 'burnt CDs' nowadays anyway, but that doesnt help those with older CD players. And contrary to what was said earlier computer 'burners' will burn in redbook format, that is 1.first table of contents, 2.Continous track with id's,3.lead out track(so the player sees 'end 'and stops).Orange and yellow book don't follow these red book rules, and sure you can burn orange book audio cds that for the most will play on cd players, but some will not be able to locate the tracks, and will not play at all(track at once).I have been burning CDs since they became available(at enormous cost) from about 1993, and find , as a studio operater nothing worse than taking a demo to a music industry person ,and then having it fail to play. My suggestion is burn 'disc at once' onto Gold and Blue CDs, if one won't play the other will(on just about any player).If you use the CDs for promotion, take a copy of both with you!. and by the way , the 'Red book' standard says 79m.99s is the longest CD under the guidlines.I was advised by industry people that 'overburnt cds' (those over 80 minutes) will not play in most cd players. I recently burnt on an Akai 90 minute cd 90 minutes of audio that plays fine on 70 percent of players. recordable DVD is now available, pretty soon we will see audio cds that can hold roughly six times the amount of audio of conventional cds, then compilation CDs such as this will allow far more musicians to each have a track, and share in costs...just a thought!...I'm interested in taking part in this idea though, I've contemplated a similar project for several years. and regards wear and tear!...look after your CDs, never touch the 'read' surface or get it scratched. Contrary to popular belief CDs are far more fragile than vinyl, and should be handled by their edge only, and put in a proper CD box with a strong centre clip in it to stop the CD moving and becoming scratched. Avoid cardboard and paper 'sleeves as they scratch the CD also. " id="22543">I've also encountered 'pressed CDs 't hat won't play properly on audio players.I always burn 'disc at once' off the hard drive. I've found that blue cds work the best in CD audio players, having tryed Gold,nickel,green,which are likely to perform irratically.The trouble now is because CD burners are writing at very high speed, I've noticed these 'blue' Cd's getting rarer because the laser needs to be of different wavelengh(colour)to burn at high speed(40x)as do the CD media, and these new generation CDs will not always play in older CD players properly.The new audio players are being designed to play 'burnt CDs' nowadays anyway, but that doesnt help those with older CD players.

wallyadimeck	Date: October 8, 2002 @ 8:52 PM If people can give me the tracks in MP3 format 128Kbps (or higher), I can set up a system where-by we can all place orders through a central point (say me for example) and I will order them, and have the number you want, sent directly to you. YOu can then sell them, give them away as promotion - whatever, cause you paid for em? right
