How did you guys do it? Where did you start? How'd you actually work together? Any stories of how a collaboration any of you have done would be wonderful. I'm quite curious.
The way I see it, someone starts with an idea or bit they've been working on, and then it just goes back and forth between the two guys as they add what they think is needed, or give it to the other to do something they do better. Idk though, that's just a guess.
What was a collaboration project you worked on like?

Re: What was a collaboration project you worked on like?
I've done a few collaborations with a couple friends before. Basically one of us started with a rough idea then we just passed it back and forth making changes, sometimes just slight tweaks, sometimes radical changes, until eventually we had a full track. These friends weren't on my level since they just recently got into electronic music so it was more mentoring than collaboration I guess. I'd be down to do collaborations with vocalists or a good guitar player but other than that, I prefer to keep it solo. That's the fun part about electronic music. You can do whatever you want and not have to make compromises.

yeah, i collabed with a mate and he kept ruining the song by pissing about with the hi hats, ended up stabbing his cat just got so vexed
Re: What was a collaboration project you worked on like?
The easiest way, IMO, is for one of you to write a 'skeleton' and then just bounce it back and forth with the other person, jamming stuff on top of it...
When I did my recent collab with Kes-Es I got the drums/melodic stuff/bit of atmosphere down, then sent that over to him... he chucked some bass on top, sent that back, I cut his bass up, approved it, through in some incidentals and done.
Basically, working from the ground up is always a dead end road in my experience... so much easier if one of you gets the major concepts out of the way first and then you start.
Think of it like this, if two Djs want to scratch together, they throw on a backing beat and then question-and-answer over top of it. Same thing, just in a production context.
Its also sad to say I guess, but if you can narrow it down to where you only have to bounce stems back and forth once or twice in total... youll be alot more likely to finish whatever you start.

Im doing a collab right now actually, we talk on aim and just pass it back and forth adding stuff to it. We decided who's gonna do what and just let it flow it.

Re: What was a collaboration project you worked on like?
I'm starting a collab with someone. The plan is for one of us to get something started up, get all the drums and whatnot done, then just send stems back and forth. I'm planning on getting most of it done before I send it though.
