I'll do a booklet if I can get some stuff from people, lyrics, pictures, what about and such.
A new HFC compilation

/emoticons/default_laugh.png ??????IT'S CLOSED!!!!! When I voted it was 15 for a gk, damn I quess it's my own fault for voting yes and then not getting to the web site to confirm. Shit I quess I'll always be a day late and a dollar short but I had $50 bucks saved up to help out. Maybe next time. There are so many folks in the club that are way more talented than myself that it's probably a good thing that my toons were not included. Luv ya guys.
P.S The one I was going to submit was even done with an "81" Vector.
Man, it's maybe not too late. Please send me the email with all the info, if the average track length goes just around 4:00 minutes we can handle 17, so you'll be in. Now cross your fingers, and pray. /emoticons/default_laugh.pngIT'S CLOSED!!!!! When I voted it was 15 for a g

IMPORTANT NOTICE --I want to state clearly a couple of things, as I wasn't very explicit about the following:
1- The time to ask for an entry is CLOSED, as we are 16 "official" participants already.
2- The maximum time per track was fixed to 4 minutes and 30 seconds --and that's what dictated the "16" number above.
3- However, given that the average track duration could go below 4:30 (and I sincerely hope it will), I'm open to create a "waiting list" to squeeze more participants in, if new slots open. So far, we have the following members in that list, in the following order:
- Feynman --if his mistery track can be finally found and if he finally decides it should be in.
- BlueRedWhite
- bamboohead
So, that's it! And remember, the deadline still is January 31th 2010 --unless you guys tell me you want a couple of weeks more ; but please, let's try to have our material ready no later than February 14th, ok?
Thanks!
Edited to correctly spell "Feynman". /emoticons/default_laugh.png

I don't know which song to choose. I have 3 mostly ready. One I like that I have the parts and could finish, and one new one that I like but am having major issues with lyrics.
Help.
here are some that are mostly done and I like. What do you think?
an olde style rocker Life at 50
A jazzy slow song. Heartbeats This features my Hamer Cruise bass with a lead and rhythm part. I wrote this to explore the different sounds of the bridge and neck pickups on it.
Saying Goodbye is an unusual sorta sad song. I've made many variations of this song.
finally a "Cars" sorta early punk song. Journalism 101 ( I don't want to know) A definite garageband/rough mix track that I like.
Help me choose.

It's confirmed. Neither Sentinel or I can locate the long lost track. I had it hosted on a website that is no longer around, and I can't dig up a local copy on any of my computers.
Sadly, I guess this one goes in the "what could have been' file.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting me to mix their song. I'm pretty crushed with projects right now, so please let me know ASAP so that I can schedule you on my calendar. Also, if I'm going to be the mastering guy, could someone email me with the due dates for the final project? Also, I'd need a track order.
Finally, I rarely have time to lurk so of anyone wants to take advantage of either of these offers please email me at: colin@johnschwabrecording.com
Happy recording!!!

Zorrow, somehow this fell off of my radar. I've got several possible submissions, one which is ready to go and the other two need vocals tracked. Do you need me to submit anything to you at this point in time?
I've been too busy this time of the year, so I've had to put on hold this for several days --for example, I've just received a couple of tracks from two HFC'ers and haven't even listened to them! /emoticons/default_biggrin.png
However, I'm taking two weeks off from 12/18, so I'll have enough time to work on the project.
Now, as you might know, we declared "complete" the list of participants.
NEVERTHELESS, I have to get everyone's track and see if there's actually more room to complete a CD of around 70 minutes. If there's more room (after squeezing all the confirmed participants in), those in the "waiting list" will enter too, one by one and in "first arrived, first served" order.
So yes, you can send me an email with all the info and your material --please look for what's needed earlier in this thread. I cannot guarantee you'll be in, but I'll keep you in mind.
Thanks!

zorrow, emails sent with info and a yousendit link to download the .wav file.
Hey guys!
For those asking, yes, the project is still ON. I created one folder per HFC'er on my PC, and then downloaded the stuff many of you have already provided.
Some of you have used public file sharing sites, while others have sent me CD's via normal mail --still, the fastest way to send me your material is by hosting your .WAV file somewhere and then sending me an email with the link.
Also, some have sent me more than one song for me to chose, so please be patient, as this forces me to listen to your songs carefuly.
So, I will proceed to contact you via email very soon with some questions, as well as to let you know if I got your material and if I did listen to it.
Once again, stay tuned --but please be patient. I also have to get my own material ready, as well as to cope with my "normal", non-guitar-related life.
CU,
Zorrow

Guys, www.yousendit.com is an excellent way to send files and files can be sent for free without the need to host them. Just an FYI.
I don't really know what's been going on and I bet that there isn't gonna be any space left. But, I just got done submitting a song for copyright that is pretty cool. No amateur shit, but a fully professional song that is already mastered. I say load the CD up with as much music as you can, but I totally understand if you have around 70 minutes already...
Status report: I've been very busy with a new band I joined one month ago, so I have to learn many new songs, invent some solos, practice with them three times a week... plus the usual stuff (family, job, etc.)
However, rest assured I'm still aiming to releasing the compilation before the summer.
Stay tuned!
PS: BTW, tomorrow (01-31-2010) is the last day you have to submit your material. So, even if you think the ship is full, please send you stuff if you're ready. You never know what will happen --there are always people who retract, or who even don't send anything at the end. /emoticons/default_ph34r.png

IMPORTANT:
Guys, I BEG you to go through your material and choose for yourselves the song you want on the compilation.
I thought I could do it, but many of you have told me "pick the one you like best from these N songs". This has proven to be a really overwhelming job.
In addition, I've been very busy lately, so I cannot carry too much weight on my shoulders.
So please, pick just one song from your repertoire (make the members of your band vote, ask your close friends and relatives, throw dices...) and then come back to me.
I really want to please everyone, but I'm not even sure about my choices anymore. /emoticons/default_ph34r.png

Don't worry. That's why I wanted you to pick. I couldn't decide either. /emoticons/default_ph34r.png I'm down to choosing from two. I'll let you know.
