Is there any such thread etc...for instance where we can all educate each other on how to make our recording so we can interface more easily?
for instance as a guitarist who is always looking for drums to play to, it makes it SO much easier when drummers make at least some kind of chart as to the song structure.
for instance:
intro 4 bars
verse 8 bars
chorus 8 bars
verse 8 bars
bridge 4 bars
chorus 16 bars
etc. That type of thing really helps especially if there is a missing bar or 5/4 bar or whatever.
Ive noticed many tracks where the guitar player has overlayed his tracks and maybe he wasnt listening closely but he's off by a bar somewhere so his chorus starts 1 bar before the drummers chorus and then the drummers ride goes 1 bar over into the verse lol. Thats not the drummers fault but if there was some type of chart or description it would help avoid such mishaps. If nothing else its a huge timesaver
Also for us guitarists, we need all the tips we can get as well. I am trying to use high pass filters on all my tracks from like 200hz and up to keep the mud off the tracks so the bass can have a nice pocket to sit in. I am also trying to leave the middle of the soundscape open by doubling stuff and panning it out to the sides or whatever.
There are probably many things we all do thru ignorance that messes up the next player down the line...if we could hear from each other on it we might make things better for us all
