Re: Frozen Coco - The Online Rock Band

I was gonna tell you we don't need violin on all songs, but I see you already covered that.  smile

(is having more than one topic for the same collab allowed? I see nothing against it in the rules, but it could cause some clutter if everyone did it. If we can, let's keep this topic for band discussions only and the other as a public topic.)

Re: Frozen Coco - The Online Rock Band

I'd like to volunteer to do some graphic design that would probably involve things more like photography and collage, if that interests you guys. It can be nice to have a variety of artwork styles.

Re: Frozen Coco - The Online Rock Band

Well, we could use a good graphic designer. DIY has too much work already to take the spot (imo) and I've never liked his album cover much tbh. I like the idea of using a photo or a collage style cover.

We might also need various kinds of banners. fg123 is good in that department, and has a instantly recognizable style - I've been considering him for a while.

I propose we use my Crimson Love cover and then move on to another Graphic Designer. Should I now release those Crimson Love banners you told me not to release earlier? We are drawing nearer to completion. About the two forums thing, it's not against the rules.

Like you told me to, I opened this new forum.  smile

I've seen your sig shop. It's pretty cool. I use GIMP though which is a more advanced editor with greater tools. We'll consider it.

Re: Frozen Coco - The Online Rock Band

I use GIMP as well, for the record, so I'm up for graphics as well. I can also model in Sketchup, if that is needed. Over Blender of course.


Hai.

Might want to put that in main post ^^

And if you want to control who's posting here, why aren't you using an external forum?  hmm

That's what Techno's forum is for...

We already discussed the inconveniences of using an external forum.

Please, this is exactly what I don't want. If you have any queries, please post in the forum I linked before.

Re: Frozen Coco - The Online Rock Band

Hey guys, here's some ideas for a song. I hope hpotter134 has a guitar capo available  tongue  The progression and arpeggios are pretty generic if you ask me, but it has lots of potential, especially with some deep, meaningful lyrics.´

I don't think it's even nearly time to use banners for a new album, especially considering we need to rerecord the vocals for the first 2 songs, and mix the whole thing again. What's wrong with hiring a separate graphic designer? We don't have a specialized one right now and all 3 people who offered for the spot are quite skilled on that.

All right, but I meant that we keep the cover I made for Crimson Love and then from the next album onwards, we leave the spot open to others. I'll improve this in the time being if you need any changes.

How about we keep the Graphic Designer post open and take it album by album to determine who the best artist it is? That way we can pick out the best one out of the lot.  smile

Sorry, just heard your song idea and it sounds amazing! Has a melancholy feel to it like you say!  tongue

I am working on quite a few other songs apart from Reload too that should be completed by around summer. I have over ten in mind, so I'll try to post the ones I can in Noteflight whenever possible.

Re: Frozen Coco - The Online Rock Band

Techno, I decided to upload a bit of one of the songs I mentioned I was working on earlier. Here it is.

It still needs a lot of work, but I shall be continuing work on that soon. Hope you like it!  tongue

Sounds good, but some notes on the guitar are way out of the instrument's range (lowest note on the score is like the 3rd lowest note on a bass) and it'd be awkward to play with only C/G-shaped chords as implied by the score. But I suppose we'll take care of that later.

So I suppose the definite song list for Crimson Love is:
-When I'm Beside You
-Gone
-Lazy Sunday Jam
-Reload
-My Voice to You (cover, and bonus track)

Everyone okay with that? Most likely in that very order, it sounds best in my head like that.

I'll try to learn and record the bass for Reload now.

Sounds interesting. Personally though, the melody doesn't seem to harmonize so well with the guitar? What do you think?

Thanks.  tongue

However, I was thinking more on the lines of the line-up being:
-My Voice to You
-When I'm Beside You
-Lazy Sunday Jam
-Gone
-Reload

That way we end with a moving song, and the best two are kept for last. What do you think?

Also, are we having the cover and bonus track. Why don't we just put the redone MVTY and WIBY?
