    Well the idea started as wanting to make a theme song for WF, just for fun. Like a 1-2 minute instrumental that they might have at the beginning of a TV show. Then I thought, some people here are good artists and I know of at least a couple that do animation stuff, so why not have them make a video. Then I figured if it was going to be about WF it should have some form of writing in there, and the only thing that would work is a poem to put in the description of the video. Personally, I'm gonna make the song either way, but if other people are interested in the other pieces of this then I will make the effort to record the song to be used as the audio track in the video.

    I also thought of maybe turning it into a contest, but I don't think we have enough people for something like that... there are only 3 or 4 of us who actually make song recordings of any kind.

    It's a good idea. I like it. I did a tune for an rpg novel I used to head up, but didn't have the video people. You don't need to put the poem at the beginning...could do writing onscreen during the vid too. Use still images and intersperse them with lines, whatever works.
    What I think I can do is produce the thing and/or use some of my musical connections to get the thing out there.

    heh, we shall see mod... I need to get a hold of something to do at least some basic recording with. I left all my gear back in CA, cept for my guitar. Also, I've got a new laptop now instead of my desktop (which I dismantled and sold when I left switzerland) so I need to figure something out, even if just to lay down a groovy track for your song, moon.

    It all sounds pretty cool, but whether or not I'll have the time to do it will really depend on how excited other people are about it.

    Yeah. You should get you one of them hard drive recorders, a Fostex or Tascam that works by usb. I had a Tascam, that was a good piece of equipment.

    Yeah...here's the 8-track version, which is the one I had:Tascam 8-track USB
    They also make a 4-track, but it's way cheaper as well as less expensive.

    No need for a soundcard. As long as you have mixing software, you're good to go. I'd check to see if it's 7.0 compatible, but that's the only thing that might be a problem. I used mine with my Vista laptop. The built-in condenser mics aren't awful either.

    It just seems like such a waste, because I have plenty of equipment, it's just 3000 miles away...

    Yeah true, and at some point I will go back to visit, I just don't know when. For now I just want a cheap alternative, I might just plug in the line out from my practice amp to the aux-in jack on my laptop and see how awful it sounds

    You can get a DI for 20 bucks or so to clean up that "Siggnal".

    I asked my dad to ship my pedals and my usb recording unit, so I should hopefully have some new stuff brewin' soon.

    Also, welcome to your new home Musicians Central thread!

    P.S. Shouldn't it be "Musician's Central" ?

    I hope you're not being sarcastic, I'm in the mood for some brand-spankin' new southern man drawl.
