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?

Nah, MVTY should be at the end - it's not even our own song. Bandcamp lets you make bonus tracks available only by downloading the album, we could use that feature.

But on the other side, a majority of our fans seems to like MVTY more than any of the other songs.

What do you mean by that? Did you not have time, or do you need to practice it? 

Remember, in any case, I can cover for you as I am an amazing bass player too! 

A bit of both D: I know how the bass part goes (same thing all the time - I like to improvise a little on those cases), but I still play it sloppily. And then my brother started crying because he wanted the computer >.>

I'm still not sure about the line-up. MVTY is a very good song, but our other ones will sound great once we get them all recorded and mixed. Thing is, in the Scratch project, the bonus track won't make much sense.

Keep experimenting with the improvisation, and if you still fail at it, I am always there as a back-up, since I have a rather good idea for the bass in my song.

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

Yes, I do have a capo available    The simple arpeggios are good for improvisation...

I really like this song...I think it'll be great once we flesh it out 

Great! Yeah, it is a good tune. I have some good songs coming up too, which can be in the second or third album.

Techno, any news on the bass as of yet for Reload?

Haven't had time. I could let you record it if you want to start mixing soon. Though you can't really start too soon if nobody has recorded their own tracks yet. 

We only have the bass for Gone, am I right? hpotter should record the guitar as soon as possible, and when we get a definite pianist and vocalist they should immediately record too. jslomba, is your hand still sprained?

Yeah, could you remind the others to record their tracks? I'll start on the bass for Reload with a little improvisation myself, and then I can get to mixing!

Uh, I just kinda did. They should see all this in a while 

Not many people auditioned... Only veggieman on vocals and a1130 on piano. Both are pretty good but I hoped there would be more people to choose from.    What do you guys think, should them both be in?

I think a1130 should definitely be in. He's obviously quite good at piano. I'm not sure about veggieman001 though. We need a female vocalist right now just to redo the first two songs, and the as hpotter134 suggested, the three of us (you, him and I) can have a go at the vocals for the other two. I'm quite good at vocals too. 

And what I meant by 'remind the others' was to tell the guys who aren't too active on this forum (only hpotter134 I think) about recording their parts.

Is there anything specifically wrong with me? :'C

Hay, I'm still hanging around here if you guys ever need some extra help 

Didn't you say you were quitting three times already?

True, but in the case that I have no life, I'll still be hanging around. You just won't see me.

I don't think we need a female vocalist, just a good one. If veggie is anything like me, he should be able to sing MVTY and WIBY an octave lower (maybe even like designer45 originally did) with no trouble.

Lol, I just found that funny, that's all!

Technoguyx, I'd really like to stay in the band. I was in a bad mood on the day I quit. You've been a great leader. I know you have many piano players in mind to take my spot, but maybe we could work this out. If not, I hope this band goes on well. Like I said, I'd love to stay in this band. (Not trying to be a jerk or anything, I know I quit.)

@veggie, lyrics are on the Noteflight scores for both songs. Might be a bit tedious to read though.

@Lellows, we pretty much decided to hire a new pianist already. And our only option is a far better pianist. Not trying to degrade you or whatever, but you're already out. Sorry.    You could try some of the other bands, perhaps one of them might succeed.
