this should be in production forum, right?

I was on a mailing list once that did this maybe about ten years ago....

It took a long time to do, and a huge amount of effort to organize, but the overall result was worth it. There was some talk about doing it again, but I believe at the time the effort was just too much.

Another list I was on tried the same thing about three or four years ago and, as far as I know, it never got past people posting their tracks on an FTP site.

So its a good idea, but those organizing it have to be behind it 100% and there has to be enough interest from the forum in purchasing it.

techically i think it should be very simple:
- ppl will send their tunes to someone via yousendit, mail, msn or something
- someone (or a few reliable ppl) will download them, make a selection and mix them
- someone will host the mix so that everyone on forum can download it(for free of course!)

but, honestly - i don't think we have enough producers willing to do this, yet

dubway-

The two lists I was on were concerned with full on commercial release CDs.

That the first group could acheive it ten years ago when most of us were still on dial-up and CD burners were quite expensive was quite amazing. As it turns out, it was a properly pressed CD with professionally done artwork.

The second group should have had an easier time with the lower cost of recordable CDs and drives; essentially I think too many people submitted tracks.

i would like to do it.. but maybe it would more fun/quality if a few of us would select/mix..

maybe choose a selection, and have multiple people mix it---and decide on which mix to use.

idd if a few of us mix it would be cool, but maybe, you're the best person to decide what actually ends up on the mix-cd, coz it's still your forum

I don't produce - but I'd sure be keen to the the packaging artwork if you were to release it as a CD. (ie. not just a DL)

But yeah, cool idea - it's just a bit of organisation and collaboration that is needed to make it happen.

Blimey

We have producers willing to contribute...

and an artwork guy ( Citizen ) !

I can look around for the best prices for cd's.

this is exciting !

mr peach · Post by **mr peach** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 8:08 am

i cant produce, mix or make artwork but i would buy it and promote it in lancaster.

citizen · Post by **citizen** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 8:09 am

I'm sure one of the label owners that frequent this forum could offer some advice on CD production and distribution.

Make it happen guys!

Post by **dubway** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 2:34 pm

this looks great..
BUT we have only 5 producers still.. and if you ask me - we need 20.
don't get me wrong but if we don't have 20 good tunes - we can make a perfect selection, mix, artwork and promotion - but cd will still be shit..
