This thread is for people on the forum that have the capability of home recording and want to collaborate with others. So post below with the following info...

Instruments: Guitar, bass, vocals, drums, keys, ambient noise, etc.

Recording capability: Your rig, DAW, any other pertinent info to help facilitate the practical part of the collaboration.

Desired collaboration: "I need bass for this track" or "I want to record a sludge album"


If you're looking for or offering session work for a commercial release, feel free to specify that it's a paying gig, but don't discuss the monetary details in the thread.

If anyone has any suggestions for refining/organizing the thread, let me know and I'll alter the first post for reference!


****TIP***** You don't need to have the same DAW to share tracks. If you're recording something and you want to be able to sync up, just bounce tracks down to .wav file from the start of the track. You can upload the files to a file sharing service like dropbox (open to suggestions on specific free services). If you have a set of tracks and want something new added, bounce your entire project down to a stereo .wav file and send that to your collaborator. If you're recording a new track to add to something else, import the stereo .wav to your recording program (aligning the beginning of the file to the start of the project), then play along and record a new track. You can export/bounce your new track(s) to a mono or stereo .wav file and send it back, to be added in by the original person or a third party for mixing. No need to share large proprietary session files that are DAW specific. (please feel free to post links to tutorial videos for specific DAWs)

I'll kick it off with myself...

Instruments: Bass and rhythm guitar (E/b or B tuning, can usually swing anything in between)

Recording capability: Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 and Octopre II interface (up to 16 tracks simultaneous), Logic Pro 9 DAW. Primarily use Shure SM7B or EV RE20 for recording bass, the Shure SM7B or Sennheiser MD421 for guitar (have other dynamic, LDC or ribbon mics too). Lots of pedals, tube and solid state amps and cabs. Check out my soundcloud link below for a lot of samples of my quick and dirty recordings and gear demos I've done.

Desired collaboration: I have 4-5 demo, would like to get vocals recorded one some or all of them for an online demo release. Dark lyrical themes, nothing overtly drug or violence related (don't particularly care personally, just don't want to pigeonhole). I'm also open to collaborating with a guitarist on fleshing these out and adding second guitar parts or collaborating on writing new stuff together for online release. These songs were all played on instruments in B standard tuning.

Also willing to do bass session work or mixing for hire upon request.

Here's the demo tracks I'm looking to get vocals on... https://soundcloud.com/corey-y/sets/songs-in-progress

Holy fuck. Those tracks. Christ.

Any specific vocal style you're looking for?

Hot damn! Those tracks sound awesome, Corey.

Hey thanks (assuming that's a GOOD holy fuck lol), I'm open to different styles and just trying stuff and see how it sounds. I'll be pretty up front if I think it works or doesn't. I tried to come up with some vocal ideas myself, but didn't get any inspiration. So that's what I'm looking for, someone who is grabbed by the tracks and gets an idea they're excited about. Even if it's just one or two of the songs, because then hopefully that will help it gel into something with a clear direction and I can kind of feed off of that with writing more stuff. I've just been writing whatever pops into my head so it's all generally heavy, but not necessarily written all at the same time with a perfectly cohesive style in mind.

Thanks Tony.

Yeah. Holy shit. Thread hijack but I got like 6 seconds into the first song and was jamming.

Nice thread. There is something like this on metal Archives and actually got me a ton of session work in drumming. Nothing I got paid for because as payment all I wanted was a copy or two of the album. Even then I got stiffed while they still used my work.

Anyway, Dig those songs Corey, I wouldn't mind throwing something down over them. I don't do any clean singing whatsoever. So if you want something in a nasty sludge vein I can do that.


As far as per the thread:
Instruments: Guitar, bass, vocals, drums. Tuning doesn't matter I have multiple guitars/rigs whatever. drumswise I can play just about anything except don't really enjoy doing tribal mess.

Recording capability: I use Reaper to record with, Firepod 8 channel mixer. set of Shure drum mics and Shure Sm57 for guitar/bass/vocal recording. I actually like mixing with Cool Edit Pro2. I don't like progressing.

Desired collaboration: really I'm open to whatever. I'm used to coming in on projects that need drums most of the time. I like collaborating but hate it when it ends up falling all on me to write and compose everything for someone cause at that point I might as well finish it up myself.



also depending on what it is I usually end up releasing it via my tiny self serving label cause if I'm going to put that much time in it I want a physical hard copy of the release in my hands to celebrate it. Anyone else to buys it, well that's nice as well.

Really badass track corey.

I'd be down to do vocs as well. I tend to do a more clean style. You can hear me on most of the Flux stuff we've shared.


Instruments: Guitar 12 or six, any tuning prefer C standard.
bass 4 or 8 string(Doubled with octave strings)
vocals,

Recording capability: sm57's, cheap condensers, Audix vocal mics.
Scarlet 18I8 into Ableton 9 full version. I'm getting better at mixing and exploiting the software but I'm no engineer.
I've also done some basic video editing.
Here's a live jam Flux layed down. I did some sprucing up, compression, reverb etc. and chopped up a weirdo movie for the video with some overlayed shit to make it trippier.

Desired collaboration: Whatever man. I get bored.

I'm definitely down for sludge type vocals. Most of those songs I was going for something in between sludge and noise rock. Whatever songs anyone wants to try some vocal ideas on, just shoot me a PM and let me know which ones, I'll make some stereo .wav rips and upload them somewhere easily accessible.

Cool solid. Shall do.

A little out of the Doom scope, but I've really wanted to do a noisy/sludgy hardcore project for a while and no one in my area is interested.

I'd be down for something on that.

Vocally I might be down on this. It probably translates better for me and my style for this.
