Let's stop the soundcloud circlejerking for a minute and make a track. I've posted a track for orientation.
http://soundcloud.com/plebsjustwannahavefun/basic-song-structure +++ FAQ +++
>What do I need to contribute? Any setup that allows you to record/create a piece of music with decent sound quality (no vocaroo please)
>What kind of file do I have to upload and where should I upload it? It doesn't matter (mp3, wav,... whatever), just make sure it has somewhat decent quality and it's downloadable (e.g. if you're using soundcloud to upload)
>How long should my track be? It has to be the exact length of the sample-track (16 bars @ 142bpm = 0:27 min)
>What will happen once everyone has uploaded something? I will blend together your contributions to some kind of song, I don't really know how it will turn out. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO UPLOAD ONLY YOUR CONTRIBUTION, DON'T BLEND IT WITH THE SAMPLE FILE!
let's see where this is heading... have fun jammin' /mu/!

Also, fuck, it's stereo, but left/right is the same. Hope it works.

I think the best way to manage a more ambitious/serious (it can still be funny with stupid /mu/ related lyrics, of course) project would be an IRC-channel or some sort of chatroom where people are directed.

MalcolmMooney !PU7RvqMA5.
Quoted By:
>>25119169 Not really.
The Dicklick Brigade is everyone making their own song, which is then sequenced and compiled into an album.
This is a song which people build upon and is then mixed into a completed track.
The difference being that the DLB isn't particularly collaborative (it's more like a mixtape).
>>25119192 Depends. This is better than many Dicklick songs for sure, but you can only do so much like this (plus, we've had some awesome fucking tracks). Also, you can't make a whole album in 2 hours with this method.
>>25119200 You can use the Dicklick IRC if you'd like.

>>25119621 Right you are, sir. I love these /mu/ projects, of all sizes and types.
I started regularly compiling DLB on accident, and eventually I kind of got pegged in as some kind of leader. I actually kind of feel bad about resurrecting it, really, and honestly looking back I should have created my own project that didn't have this whole "legacy" behind it. It was never my intention to carry on the original DLB, and honestly you can look at the two things as completely different but with the same name.
However, since I'm currently the "leader" of the DLB, making a new project is entirely unfeasible. But I love to help with and contribute to new ones.
