Category: How to collaborate

Collaborations on songs can be in person or over the net!

We can make songs of peace, rights, sustainability, truth and write, record, mix and so on in person (Cincinnati) OR over the net!

No experience necessary, no money is needed, no musical gear required (even just a recording on your phone can work), all are welcome, all music including spoken word, it can be easy and if you don’t know how to be involved or wonder how you can contribute lyrics, ideas or a recording of yourself over the net then just let me know.
I will do whatever I can do to make songs of Peace, Rights and Sustainability happen and for you to be a part of this.

Drop me a line if you have questions or want to jump in on a song right away!

REMEMBER: People have been making music since time began and it doesn’t have to be hard, complicated or “perfect”.
*** This isn’t a songwriting class that lasts and lasts and goes on and on trying for perfection, it’s meant to be fast, fun and get the music OUT THERE!!! ***
It may be waaaay easier than you think, so don’t hesitate, join in or do some on your own, JUST DON’T REMAIN SILENT!!!

The next couple posts here have many song examples, info about us getting together in a public place (meeting room at the DP library 45236 zip), plus how you can be involved in person or over the net and more, so check the posts out or just get ahold of me and let’s have fun making music!!!

Peace,
Steve

Overview and invite! (Updated)

Let’s collaborate on songs of Peace, Rights and Sustainability!!!
No experience necessary.
No money necessary.
As little or as much time as you’d like to put into this.
This can be easy, fun and help our world,
PLEASE contact me and let’s get some songs going!

I’ll list links a couple paragraphs below to programs and websites we can use to share audio and video and text files as I decide what I am using and will update as needed.
Suggestions are welcome.

This project is about making a better world, so the songs are specifically meant to be about rights, sustainability, peace and so forth. We want the instrumentation to be as good as possible, but this is about more than just the music, they must carry a message in support of a better world.

All are welcome ESPECIALLY SINGERS AND ANY VOICE!
.

A DAW is a Digital Audio Workstation – recording program Like FL Studio, Cubase, ProTools…..
If you don’t have access to a DAW you can still be involved!
You can write lyrics and poetry, you can even record your voice or whatever on a phone or other method, just contact me and we’ll figure out how you can participate.

The LIST of programs and sites we can use.
(that will be updated and yes, I welcome suggestions)…
1)   I use FL Studio as my DAW. Whatever you use is fine and if you don’t have one don’t worry, contact me and we’ll get your music, vocals or whatever as part of a song.
2)   WeTransfer.com is one of many sites that you can transfer files (up to 2 GB) and/or store files.
3)    Mega has free and paid storage with 20 Gigs free (more than Dropbox) and while I haven’t used this part yet, on your desktop browser, Android or iOS device, you can have a secure voice or video call with a single contact or have a group text chat with several contacts participating. You can also send files from your MEGA Cloud Drive to other members of the group chat while messages are flowing, so collabs could be nice and productive using that site.
AND  Please READ the terms and privacy policy of any site or program or app that you use. I am listing these and will add or change the list but the decision to use any of them or others MUST be decided by you and you can’t make a proper decision unless you are informed, so read up on your own.

If you do want to trade tracks back and forth through email or whatever please make sure to render the tracks you plan on sending from the very start of the song even if the part you want to send doesn’t come in until part way through the song.
So there may be a lot of silence before your music or vocals are heard but it will ensure they come in at the right place and are lined up properly.
Thanks!

My instrumental music you can listen to if you’d like to see some of what I can do:

Please contact me with questions or ideas.

ABetterWorldWithSteveAndMusic.com is a project that will help us make this a better world and have fun with music, collaborations and recording!
It will help us all be able to automatically figure out better ways or to deal with problems in an immediate way and to be proactive AND to mix in music in whatever ways possible!
.
There is more detail on this project at the first post, more will be found in future posts and the various pages of this site which have been started but need more work.

Thanks.

Now, get to work making this a better world!!!
