CAPE V: Sign Up Here!

[E. Shaun]

Greetings everyone!

Well, as I write, it is the first day of a brand new year…and it strikes me as a very fitting time to start the latest CAPE in a brand new forum. Each time that I have hosted CAPE, it has been a very rewarding experience for almost all involved, myself included. I imagine that we'll have a lot of new faces here this time around, as well as many experienced CAPE veterans. For those of you in the former category, here is a brief breakdown of CAPE history and the general process.


CAPEs I - IV

Back in 2003 when I had just received my own forum on a now-defunct audio group called the RecPit, Mixerman phoned me with an idea he had about putting together some collaborative teams for a project. After hashing out details for a few days, what we now know as CAPE (Collaborative Audio Production Experience) was formed, wherein forum members (and even some non-members) are invited to sign-up, listing their musical strengths and interests, and are ultimately placed into teams, and given the task of taking a production from scratch to finish in a set period of time. Over the course of the past three years, there have been four CAPEs, and each has grown in both membership and overall quality. A number of side-projects have sprung from each CAPE, and each have provided numerous collaborative and social opportunities for all who have been involved. I have little doubt that CAPE V will do the same.


Changes From Prior CAPEs

After CAPE IV, I made frequent mention that there would be at least one significant change for CAPE V. However, given the movement from the prior forum to this one, I have decided to opt for only moderate and minor changes. CAPE VI could very well incorporate what I had in mind for this time around…but we'll see.

The most significant change is that there will be staggered deadlines in CAPE V. Rather than a single deadline where you have to provide me with the finished project, there will be a Tracking Deadline as well as a Mixing Deadline. This should help reduce some of the complaints I received from Mixers who were left with only a day or two to mix their project before the final deadline.

The Mixing Deadline has another reason; namely the re-introduction of the Mastering element this time. However, Bob Olhsson will handle all of the mastering duties…and I am very grateful to Bob for agreeing to undertake such a large project gratis. This will have the added bonus of providing a continuity that has been absent on the prior four CAPEs, and I am certain that the results will be both obvious and exceptional.


Some More Important Details

The first important detail is regarding the Songwriter. In light of some comments I have received in the past, I must insist that anyone who cites "songwriter" as a proficiency has at least three songs ready for selection by his or her team within a week of team selection. In other words, even if you plan on having input about song structure etc. from other team members throughout the whole process, you should still be able to provide the majority of at least three songs early on, so that the team has something to work with. After all, it really does start with the song itself, and having to wait for the songwriter to get "inspired" can be a real damper to team morale. Additionally, the songwriter will retain creative "rights" to his or her song. If there is a future compilation made from CAPE V, it is ultimately the songwriter who gets to say "yay" or "nay" as to the song's inclusion. Much of this is hypothetical, but it is worth stating nonetheless.

Format-wise, in this sign-up thread I am asking that you list all the instruments or musical duties that you have some proficiency in and / or access to. I do mean all. Even if you own a bassoon and play for kicks, please list it. Also, if you have access to someone who you are certain will be dependable to contribute to this project, feel free to mention him or her as an ANCILLARY person. Keep in mind that when creating the teams, I will try my best to fill all roles by forum regulars first. I can't stress enough that you should have the ability to get your parts recorded in some way, shape or form. If you put yourself down as a drummer, but don't have a drumkit, any microphones, or access to a studio, you're not doing either yourself or your team any favours.

The position of Point-Man will once again require people with solid organizational ability, as well as the time and ability to check in with team members on a regular basis to ensure that all aspects are moving ahead on schedule. The Point-Man is not a producer in terms of creative control (since each and every member of each team is to be utilized), but in most other aspects, the Point-Man will be expected to oversee the project from start to finish in much the same way as a producer would. Given that this position is often the least listed in the sign-ups, there may be situations in which I am forced to appoint a Point-Man.

If you have access to a significant amount of FTP / web space (e.g.: over 1 GB), please list that on your sign-up, as we won't be able to provide space this time around. Since the last four have gotten by without forum-provided FTP space, I doubt CAPE V will be any different.

Finally, in consideration of the fact that this is a new forum, please let me know on your sign-ups if you had a different user-name in a prior CAPE setting. If you don't want it known publicly, you can PM me, and I'll keep the secret. It simply helps me when I'm selecting the teams.

The official "guidelines" of CAPE V with a bit more info will be posted when I announce the teams.


The Sign-Up System

Alright, on to the details of the process. To sign up, I ask that you rate your proficiency level according to the exact terms I list below. In other words, try to avoid saying "I'm kinda good at guitar…" Just say that you're either "Skilled" or "Adequate." Also bear in mind what I said earlier about having the technical capability of doing whatever you sign up for. The designations I would like you to use are as follows:

Adequate – You can do this well enough without embarrassing yourself publicly.

Skilled – You are more than capable at this, and have been known to turn heads.

Gifted – You are good at it, you know it and all your friends will tell you the same.

Maestro – You are a golden god, or at the very least show exceptional ability in this.

Don't be humble, but also be aware that if you overstate your ability, it will likely be noticed... Please separate acoustic guitar and electric guitar in your entries, as well as acoustic versus electric drums etc. Are you a master at putting together drum loops and samples? Say so. Be specific. Mention everything that you have the capability and capacity to do. If you have a preference for one aspect over another, even if you think you're not as good at it, be sure to mention that too. While it's not always possible, I try to put people in the role they wish to be in. Shortages and overabundances of certain positions will always force me to shuffle a bit, but so far I have not been forced to exclude anyone outright…nor do I plan to.

In your sign-up post, please mention the kind of music you work best with if you have any preference. I want to avoid sticking polka playing accordionists with industrial songwriters, if at all possible. I also tend to create a few teams around genre preferences, so this is fairly important. Also, please mention your location, as I sometimes consider that as a factor as well.

A sample entry would be as follows:


E. Shaun Russell

Vancouver, B.C.

Point-Man - Gifted

Keyboards - Gifted

Mixing - Skilled

Songwriting - Skilled

Kantele - Adequate (well…I have one)

I have no available web space.

I prefer working in either the indie rock, metal, ethnic or more ambient genres, though tend to fit nicely in most other styles if need be. No punk or rap, please.

You get the picture. Just try to be as detailed as possible, and don't hem yourself in.


Sign-Up Deadlines

For numerous reasons, I have decided to allow four weeks for CAPE sign-ups, which means that I will be closing this thread around 23:59 EST on January 28th, 2007. Since this forum is new, it may take some time to make former participants aware that CAPE is ongoing. Also, efforts are being made to invite and include members of other forums in the projects. Likewise, if you know of someone who would be interested in participating, feel free to encourage him or her to sign up.

Teams will be announced on February 1st, with a Tracking deadline of May 1st and a Mixing deadline of May 10th. I will discuss with Bob closer to the time as to when the Mastering process is expected to be done; given that this is a large project, and he runs a busy shop, I'm not going to impose a deadline on his part of the work.

I have to give some major kudos to Tammikuu for providing some feedback to me as a result of some semi-professional studies she did for CAPE III and IV. I have made a few changes as a direct correlation to the feedback I have received through her research.

I also can't recommend enough the "CAPE Catastrophe" primer by Goes211 and Otek, which provides a ton of insight from two veterans of multiple CAPE teams. You will find it as a sticky in this very forum.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to email or PM me. Likewise, once the process actually begins, I encourage you to contact me if you run into snags of any sort (e.g.: intrapersonal, technical etc.).

So finally, without further ado…CAPE V is underway!

Sincerely,

E. Shaun Russell

Booya! CaPE is here!

mousdrvr:

Vox - gifted in a Ben Harper like context. For everything else? skilled except for heavy stuff at which I suck.
I'm from Nor Cal and I pretty much completely fit the stereotype personally and musically, so I'm all good with folk rock. But
I'd really like to try something in a reggae, world, ambient, or even techno vein ( as long as it was chilled techno)

*sigh* I have web space.

lead or backing voice (baritone/tenor): grilled

oh all right, point man, because I don't have any songs ready this time: skadequated

Personal project studio flying Sonar 6 and tons of VSTs and VSTIs.

Have a listen to Radio CAPE and thrill to the sounds of me pounding Rhodes and Hammond on Rhyme and Reason by Conspiracy Theory (CAPE I); shredding my vocal cords on Burn In The Pyres by Industry (CAPE II-- I'm the vocalist who's not growling); from CAPE III, more yelling and Hammond on Gaining On Me by Galactic (I also wrote that one), and my pianistic expulsion on Gone by Artisan. Then, on CaPE IV, I was involved in no less than four teams in some small or even large way: Talk About Me by Mercury (I was point man and synth dude), Praise and Believe by Solar (Hammond, Rhodes, and synth), Alone by Progression (lyrical concept, brilliantly executed by Groovr), and of course The Mixerman Radio Show theme by Team Womb (synths).

Prog and jazz (esp. fusion) are my bread and butter but I can and will rock, or jam, as hard as required.

I tend to work on lyric-focused music in the (broadly) rock or folk-rock vein. Not into rap, dancey-pop, or heavy-for-heavy's-sake type stuff, but I'm not gonna quit if you force me to stretch!


I played acoustic guitar, slide electric guitar, and keyboards for Team Habitant in Cape IV, and the members of that team have heard an example of my songwriting. Ask 'em if I suck.

Very much looking forward to this.

Bass (electric) - skilled to gifted

Guitar (acoustic) - skilled

Vocals (background) - skilled (I'll sing lead if it's required, but there are a LOT of better singers here so hopefully it won't come to that <g>)

Mixer - skilled to gifted , leaning to the skilled side so I don't over-toot my horn (I'd rather not play AND mix on the same song, but I'm there if anyone needs me)

Pointman - gifted (I'm up for this role this time cuz I gots the know-how and the facilities)

Web space - I've got ftp and storage for one, maybe two teams and I've the got BBS thing happenin' as well.

What I like - a broad range of stuff, but I'm partial to:

Rock/Pop - Beatles to Bears, Freedy Johnston to Aimee Mann, DaDa to World Party

Rock - swampy, rootsy, whiskey-laden, anything that sounds like you'd hear it in a trashy club while you're eatin' red-beans and rice)

ANYTHING that's funky - especially when it comes to the drum or bass parts.

Metal/Hard Rock - prolly not for me - mostly cuz I don't have the double-kick chops or guitar gear for the sound... but I can do the aggressive bass thing no prob. I will hurt you.

I played drums on TeamChardonnay Cape III, Drums and mixed and some BGV on TeamTidal Cape IV. You can check out some of my mixing work at LINK (http://www.myspace.com/dikledoux). And I'm always open for an adventure WRT CaPE.

Drums/Latin Percussion - Fair to Skilled depending upon style.

Kantele - What the hell's a Kantele??? Nobody told me I had to know how to play one of these friggin' things...

I have some available web space... several gig's of ftp in an emergency. (40Gig on a T1) but it'd need to be a real emergency.

I'm old skool... shit, I'm just OLD... but I can still rock it, if it's funky enough. Definitely prefer no punk or rap, please. Grew up on the classics... Floyd, Zep, Hendrix, CSN, Fab 4, Zappa, KC and the Sunshine Band. I can dig a groove on most anything, but really prefer working with something with some funk to it or even Floyd-esk'.

CAPE IV - Serpentine

If anyone cares to trek to NC or if you're within a reasonable drive... say 100 miles... I've got 48 tracks of mobile recording rig available. (I'll make that offer to ALL CAPE teams... just help cover the fuel bill) Contact me and I'll supply the gear list.

Hooray... CAPE time again! :)

Dave

Toronto-ish, Canada

Pointman: Adequate (did it for CAPE IV, and wasn't entirely happy with how I handled it, but we did get done on time...)

Songwriting: Skilled

Acoustic guitar - rhythm: Skilled

Acoustic guitar - lead: Adequate

Electric guitar - rhythm: Gifted

Electric guitar - lead: Skilled

Note: Tracking guitars would be a challenge for me due to lack of proper facilities. I can do it if necessary, but it's not my first choice.

Keyboards: Skilled (not be confused with organ or piano)

Samples: Gifted

Loops: Gifted

General electronic tomfoolery: Gifted

Genres: Rock (in its many forms), industrial, electronic, folk... pretty much anything except complex jazz, R&B, hip hop or rap. I can do country, but don't particularly like it.

Previous CAPE experience: Team Catharsis (CAPE III), Team Diabolic (CAPE IV)

Preferences: I'd like to try my hand at writing a song for this round. I'd also prefer to stick to the electronic side of things (i.e. keys, samples, loops, programming, etc.), as CAPE is my only real opportunity to work in those areas with other players. Also, I can probably handle contributing to more than 1 team, if its necessary to fill out lineups. This is negated if I am given point duties for one of the teams, though.

FInally, a HUGE thanks to E. Shaun for putting this together. It's always a blast, and I'm perpetually looking forward to the next one!

Cheers,

Dave

Folk. Country. Folk-Rock. Country-Rock. Rock. Fast or slow. The knowing smirk.

Mixing. No thanks.

i thank the academy for its consideration.

Bass guy - whatever else I may be able to do I don't feel I have the setup to provide tracks of sufficient quality, so I'll stick to bass.

Gifted/maestro - depends on the style.... I've played rock, funk, some jazz (but my upright bass is a completely embarrassing POS and I'm really rusty), a fair amount of prog stuff, some folky gigs, once played on an African style project but can't say I really internalized it, pretty good with wacky time stuff. Don't understand country and am not that interested in rap or sooper heavy death-crunch, although I would give it my best shot.

Prior CAPE experience was bass guy for Team Progression.

I don't currently have FTP space but I know how to work it.

Ummmmm..... can't think of much else to say right now... I play mostly fretless but can access other basses if the production requires it.... I have skype.... I understand how to fly tracks around in cyberspace for projects... Tony Levin is my hero.... so is Alain Caron... non-smoker except for the occasional Montecristo....

[chrisj]

Well, this should be interesting. Surprise me!

This is an inventory, not a list of expectations, so I'm putting in ones I don't expect to see used, on purpose :)

Guitar, lead: probably skilled (see: Team Campfire)
Guitar, rhythm: brain-damaged and eccentric, yay
Bass: delay track at least 2,000 ms in mix, capable of sounding like a bass though. Can usually think of decent parts.
Drums: could play for Turkish Scotsmen successfully, otherwise too spazzy and aggressive and not relaxed enough
Keyboards: Nord Lead, squiggly stuff like Don Preston without the chops. Trouble playing over more than white keys. Voted most likely to pick an note and play it as a pad over the entire song
Tinwhistle, recorder, harmonica, bamboo recorder: own one of each, unsure what keys they are in. ahahahaha.
Violin: ahahahahahahahahahaha.
Percussion: cowbell, egg shaker, tambourine: surprisingly decent. Played hidden cowbell on Team Campfire.
Mixing: has copy of Mix It Like A Record and is afraid to use it :D seriously, have Logic Express and it's tech, what's not to like? Much better chops than on instruments.
Mastering: curses, foiled again ;) better every year.
Rising to the level of challengingly good team-mates: definitely, try me, had to do this in previous CaPEs routinely, it's a great crowd of gifted people
Throwing a lot of ideas and happily leaving a lot of them on the cutting room floor: hey, you gotta. You should have heard the all-guitar arrangement for Campfire :)
Picking a good song: Team Alchemy, "Judi" and Team Campfire, "If This Is Where It Is" got much cheerleading from me, the latter on two consecutive CaPEs until it finally got heard.
Enjoying the madness: depends on the madness :D

Ready to go, no FTP space handy, got Skype working this time. Cheers. Surprise me.

[bunnerabb]

bunnerabb - three b's

Location - Part of the Ohio Invasion on Chatwomb. Near a fuckoff huge lake, here in the ghetto.

Point man - I have to have help tying my shoes and I need to make an appointment to do so a week in advance.

Songwriting - I got a bunch of country songs together but they're all going on this record. I can write in several genres, but I don't have three ready to go.

Guitar - I can make chords in time once I find them.

Keys - Adequate to skilled (Listen to Team Organic if you can find the file). I also have an ancillary who can play stuff from whorehouse boogie woogie to Beethoven like nobody's bidnitz.

Drums - On a tabletop, I'm Steve Gadd. Behind a drum kit, I couldn't keep time with a Rolex.

Mixing - Adequate to skilled. I'm working on tracking a country album, so I really wouldn't have time to mix this even if somebody wanted me to. You don't want me to. I use Nuendo, by the way.

Vocals - Skilled. Listen to Team Bunny and Team Twang for a reference.

Bass - I'd rather have a bass player.

ftp space - Nope.

Preferred Genres - Country - Rock - Blues - R&B - Grunge. I can't sing that Steve Perry squirrel rock stuff or hair metal. It's out of my vocal range.

Additional:

I've had trouble with deadlines but I managed to deliver the goods. Sometimes with more quality than others, but on time. I move twice a year and I head back to the island in Apr. In between, I'm tracking this country record and then packing up the whole plantaion in Feb. and moving it to a friend's room, 60 miles from here, for overdubs and mixing. My schedule is pretty packed 365 and I have some live things to do between now and Apr. If anybody wants to pass on allowing my contribution, this year, in favour of somebody with more free time to put into this; I get that and respect it.

Nick Storr

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

Vocals - Maestro (?)

Keyboards - Adequate

Guitar - Adequate

Bass - Skilled, but with recording caveats (my available gear isn't anywhere near top notch right now)

I have no available web space.

My genre-preference tends toward the poppy melodic nu-prog rock end of the spectrum (spocks beard, porcupine tree, Keving Gilbert etc.) but I'm up for pretty much anything with a good melody. Definitely not interested in rap, or anything too "glurgey" (is that even a word?)

I guess I should start posting here too :P

[Cosmic Pig]

Cosmic Pig aka Rick Boulter

Guitar - gifted, until I heard Mudcat.

Bass - skilled, or gifted if I get Cosmic Wifey to do it.

Vocals - tragic, unless I get Cosmic Wifey to do it, then gifted.

Point man - nope. Unless I get... er, no she won't do it either.

No webspace, have skype, yousendit is in favorites.

Mixing - adequate. My studio is funny, it made Aardy laugh. I think more at it than with it, but haha nonetheless.

My style is blues and heavy rock to country, generally on the more organic side. I run a Twin through a Leslie 145 cab or Marshall 2-12 I have a whammy bar and a talkbox in case things get weird.

[studjo]

Studjo - johannes eberhard

Switzerland

e-git: skilled (I have an idea what to play over Blue Bossa)

a-git: skilled (I once played Alhambra or whatever that stuff was called - tremolo all over the place)

e-bass: gifted (I love playing bass. "The chicken" from Jaco is the only serious groove I'm able to play)

mandolin: gifted (I own one but play it with the chord sheet in front of my head)

webspace: there should be a bit available (over 2GB)

ancillary: pretty good sax player living right next door to me

mixing: skilled to gifted. I'd really love to mix some stuff more than anything. Would be a great way to check my new desk (hopefully hooked up till February)

I got a nice analog studio with a lot of outboard and PT (use it as a tape recorder). I could record other guys here too, but I fear there aren't too many people from Switzerland taking part in this ...
I don't care what style it is - I like playing with my toys. My main field is Jazz/Rock though - but don't be affraid to shoot some industrial - it's gonna be fun.
Skype is working here.

[Watershed]

Watershed (Mark)
Southern Victoria, Australia.


Unfortunately I have little time to spare at the moment due to my band just starting an album.

However, we have a dozen or so songs ready to throw in If they're wanted.

I would like to either sing or play bass this time, but probably not both. I can do songwriting duties as well if necessary, as that part is already done. I have plenty of web space (8 or 9 GB free at the moment). I prefer melodic rock, can be light to very heavy, not quite metal though. I have Cubase SX 3 & 4, Pro Tools M-Powered.

Armpit Farter - I must at last come out of the closet on this subject; I suck, and I know it, clap my hands.

Styles: Heavy on the Soul, Bluesy, Funky, Smeeeeeeeeeooooooooth but slightly rockin' spices. Easy on the Folk, new Urban/R&B/Pop stuff.

[jstuart]

jstuart= john
Gorham Maine USA

Lead vx-from skilled to maestro,depending on style, with the caveat that I'm a Baritone, with a fairly distinct character...listen to cape 2 ( americano)and 3(zodiac 13) for an example.

Bkgrd vx- skilled- surprisingly the character that shows up in my ld vx goes away, and I blend easily- example in cape 4 ( expedition)

songwriter- utter crap to maestro- examples at cape 2 (americano), and cape 4 (expedition) styles= americana, rock, folky, some prog/jazz/rock, and ?????

pointman and mixer- skilled , with bouts of adequate and maestro- it's been my "daygig" for 30 0dd years, so I actually would rather concentrate on the musician side, but would serve if elected...

guitar, elec- within the styles that I play in , adequate to semi- skilled , good at coming up with parts- not a jazz or metal guy. tele, strat, open back cab

guitar, acoustic, steel string, nashville high strung
,and nylon strg. same as elec-

guitar, tri-cone resonator- adaquate,just barely...

guitar, pedal steel, good pitch, no licks, but I own it,

Bass, adequate-solid time,good tone, not a flashy player-old school

Drums-adequate, not very flashy, but mostly solid. EShaun,in his infinite wisdom, has had me drum on two capes- for examples: cape 3 (zodiac 13),and cape 4 (expedition) I can handle rock,country,R&B and other americana styles, but really suck at latin, jazz, prog rock, or anything else that calls for licks..

keyboards- I like to write on them, but that's where it stops in terms of skill... I have a few synths,and a really nice steinway,and fortunately, a Keyboard ancilliary who is a maestro

banjo- well, you said to list what instruments we had- how desperate would you have to be?

I have as ancilliaries, as mentioned, a maestro keys player, and female bkgrd vx -skilled.

I have FTP space for my studio, but I need to talk with my webmistress to see how to partition it for this project so I don't frig it up for my regular use. I'll pm Eshaun, after I speak with her.

looking forward to cape V!

I'd be up for working on anything that's fun. Modern rock is my thing as of late, so my skills would be best in that, although it would be fun to work on something different.

Previous CAPE experience: Team Eclectic (CAPE I) (http://www.crystalclearrecording.com/Music/CaPE/TeamEclectic.mp3), Team Campfire(CAPE III) (http://www.crystalclearrecording.com/Music/CaPEIII/TeamCampfire.mp3), Team Expedition(CAPE IV) (http://www.crystalclearrecording.com/Music/CaPEIV/TeamExpedition.mp3),

Preferences: I would like to be considered for mixing duties. I play guitar. i am not very good but can and will fill those duties. I am better at writing melodies and pulling a part of out chords than I am improvising and shredding leads.

Instruments Pro Tools 5.1 Mix System w/1 Mix farm and 5 DSP Farms. 32 channels of I/O, 64 tracks.
48 channel Soundcraft 6000 console.
Carvin DC127 Electric, American Standard Strat, Takamine Acoustic, Classical Guitar, Marshall AVT50, Fender Twin reissue.

Ancillaries and others
I would like for Rockdart to be named as ancillary and co-conspirator. Rockdart has contributed in one way or another too all my previous cape experiences and last CaPE (IV) we we're on different teams. It would be nice to be on the same team with both of us sharing mix/pointman and maybe some guitar duties and he can have more a shot at mixing something.

I also feel it's highly advantagous to be in both control of the people and the mix so it's important that I have pointman duties as well. There are just too many variables with music and people so having some kind of control or AUTHORITY (hehe) is vital when lumping skulls. Yes, I am a control freak, but a pleasent control freak. Arent all engineer/producers control freaks? I am kidding. I couldnt ask to get pointman and mix duties. everyone wants those ego stroking jobs don't they?

As far as styles go... I'd like to be surprised. it would be nice for once to not do a ballad. Hehe. Maybe something upbeat and fun to mix. Alt metal/rock/neo-punk? Of course If all else fails... do a ballad, always love them. I'd love to sign up my ancillary steel and backup vocalist but the last time I did they waited till the last minute and their parts sucked.

Thank you e-shaun, mixerman, aardvark, etc for the consideration.

I'd prefer the indie, rock, pop genres. Lush keyboard parts are all the rage ...

so here we go...

Statick

Bristol/Bath, UK

Drums : Gifted

i've had enough people tell me things like "best drummer ever" etc except my styles are rather limited so i won't put maestro. it's best if i explain in detail really. i'm not much cop at stuff which requires great technical ability and/or has to "groove" such as jazz, funk, etc. i can do straight forward rock & metal but find them incredibly dull (i learned by copying dave grohl originally). my main influences are extreme leftfield and alternative instrumental progressive and noise rock, especially instrumental post-rock with its immense dynamics, use of strings/horns, and noise-driven instrumentation, and would ideally suit something working along these lines. i've also recently taken a turn towards doom and black metal! i guess my main skills are feeling and creating tension and dynamics in a piece, and keeping up with complex time signature changes.

i'll also put

bass, guitar, keys : adequate - although my gear is lacking in all of these and probably won't be able to come up with the goods without borrowing stuff (although this wouldn't be a problem)

mixing : skilled

i have basic facilities at home, and access to great facilities elsewhere (although these may come at a small cost to myself, i'll see how well i can blag). i do have webspace which i can upload and host my own files on, but unfortunately cannot share passwords for obvious reasons.

I have a small amount of available web space...we're talking 10s of Mbs here max. I CAN run an FTP from my home comp (with theroretically loads of available space), but it will be slower than a My Dying Bride album, so I would reccomend going elsewhere for that.

In terms of rhythm guitar, I can pretty much only do metal (preferably complicated-but-not-over-the-top metal. Clever but not prog). I'm a one-trick pony in that respect. Thrash is my best area, but anything generally tagged as metal is good by me. Been playing guitar for about 18 years now, although for 5 of those I barely touched it.

Lead guitar...I can shred over just about anything with sensible chord structures in it (I suck at jazz and classical orientated/influenced stuff, but if it fits around a scale that's cool). Middle Eastern/Arabian/Egyptian sounding scales are my thing, I love 'em :)

Main guitar influences are:

Metal: Eric Peterson (Testament), Chuck Schuldiner (Death), Dew Scented, The Haunted, At The Gates
Other: Billy Duffy (The Cult), Mark Knopfler, Joe Satriani/Steve Vai, Francis Rossi (!)

Vocalwise, I'm afraid I'm limited to death & black metal styles - growling/screaming basically. Anything outside that, I can have a go at but can't promise anything useful.

I can write pretty good songs, but having just read the "must have 3 songs ready for choosing as soon as selection is done" rule, I don't think I'll be able to nail that quick enough. I'll have a go though :)

And if you want someone for a rock song inspired by The Cult, for god's sake ask me ;) Love that stuff...

E.Shaun, I don't seem to be able to edit my original post, so I need to add one more tidbit:

Acoustic fretless bass - uh, just got the durn thing, so I'll just have to see how the learning curve goes. Could suck at this point, could eventually get as good as electric. Nonetheless, there it is.

P.S. I was referred here by Mr. Dye on the PSN.

Vox - Me? uh....no But hey... I got AutoToon!!!! -- However, Jules has expressed an interest and she's definately skilled. But she isn't able to 100% commit at this point. If she ends up really diggin the tune, she may see if she can jump in and be a part of it... But don't count on her otherwise.

I love all music that is done well, so no preference on styles

I have web space. Not the best "webmaster" though- one look at my site tells you that! Maybe I'll learn through this! I can make password protected folders on my ftp site, so although not elegant it does work.

Songwriting – Skilled, but slow (as in my writing progress, not tempo)

Trumpet – Adequate, but I’d need all the music written out

Keyboards – Adequate

Point-Man – Adequate (but I’d rather not)

Mixing – Adequate (I have ProTools LE 7.1 and a bunch of plug-ins)

I have my own webpage, but I’m not really a whiz at that kind of thing. I have about 5GB available. Someone would have to help me with how FTP works.

Most of the singing I do is in the 80’s metal / hair metal genre. Most of the writing I do would probably be considered pop-rock. Some bands I like to listen to: The Sundays, Stone Temple Pilots, Eve’s Plum, Roxette, Boston, Garbage, Fleetwood Mac. It probably would be for the best to keep me away from rap.

I’ve been making music for many years, but pretty new to the recording / producing side of things. This project sounds like it will be a lot of fun!

Mixer - Adequate

Lap Steel - Adequate

Electric Guitar - Skilled

Acoustic Guitar - Adequate

Mandolin - Adequate

My tracking rig is normally a HD24 and digital mixer, no Pro Tools, so tempo maps/grids/beat detective are no go, would have to be click track or drum track based. I do have a Cubase SL/UAD card/Melodyne/Drumagog setup also, I used that with wav file in and out for CAPE IV, and it worked fine.

I prefer working in the alt-country, Americana, folk, etc genres, however rock is fine also as long as pedal steel is appropriate, ie Tom Petty-like is A-OK, Mudvayne-like is no go. Last CAPE I played steel and mando, interested in taking on a larger role this time, either mixer or part of songwriting process.

While I work in several genres at any one time, I work most with singer / songwriters needing to complete a full band sound on a budget. I rely on quality sample libraries and experience in orchestration and arranging to get realistic sounds with a MIDI keyboard.

I have worked lately with indie rock, R&B and funk music. My background is in prog rock, and I have toured playing classic rock styles. I have played jazz and studied classical music while in University. Lately my tastes are anything funky, innovative and with a captivating groove. I would be happy to work in any genre with a good song.

At the moment I got no web hosting capabilities.

I'm generally better off working along the lines of DCFC, Muse, The Sundays, Hadioread, that sort of deal, but also love harder metal, indie/indiepop, postrock - most people end up liking what I add to the song. I also take great delight in weirder abstract stuff and jumble extremes together and somehow making them work to create a new perspective, musically.

Currently prolly not good enough to make credible jazz, modern r&b, progressive rock, or rap contributions.

Happy New Cape!

I'm new to this format but it sounds like a great opportunity.

Major influences are Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Pat Methany, Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, Zakk, etc. But I still love the blues and electronica and most genres of music. If it grooves it moves to the iPOD.

I'd love to work with a Gifted vocal talent, male of female on somthing rocking or ethereal

I'll be posting some of my music to my website (www.hansencom.com) this weekend it anyone wants to take a listen. Feedback welcome.

I prefer working in either the Blues, Funk, METAL, Rock, and ambient, Electronica genres.

Guitar - Skilled

Sax - Adequate, but I have access to a gifted person

I prefer working in on brit-pop but will try anything. I have a jazz bass background so I would love to do that as well. I probably would like to avoid new-country (bluegrass and Johnny Cash country would be fine.) and rap.

I also host the Home Recording Odyssey podcast on home recording if that helps. hro.libsyn.com Looking forward to this!

A little late to the party, but here I am.


Don't say that you weren't warned.

Point-Man - I can't even organize my sock drawer.

Guitar - Skilled in a Forrest Gump sort of way.

Mixing - Adequate I suppose, but when it really matters, I don't mix me if that tells you anything.

Songwriting - Adequate with the occasional gift.

Vox - Adequate. I would say skilled but then I would have to add that I have a limited range and have been honing my tone for years by gargling with a mixture of whisky, cigarettes and nails.

I have no available web space.


The bulk of my performance background includes punk, indie rock, power pop, alt-country and what was once called hard rock. No offense to you prog guys, but I almost came to blows once in a "discussion" about why the Ramones were better than Yes.

[oudplayer]

I was trying to hide this time around, but at the invite of e-shaun...

oudplayer
location: Istanbul
'ud: harika (hem akustik hem de "distorsiyonlu" 'ud)
vox: if it's in Turkish, Arabic, Greek, or Laz, I can sing it.
musical preferences: the stranger, the better: Industrial/metal/electronica/apocalyptic folk/prog/

caveat: traveling quite a bit over the next few months, and busy with my band (3 gigs+ a week), so I can't put the amount of time into the arrangement, mixing, sound design, and ancillary part performing aspects of CAPe like in olden days. This time around, think of me as yer "session 'ud player" rather than a full-time contributing team-member.

[BaldByChoice]

I'm sorry but I have to change my singing skills from skilled to gifted... :Coolio:

Hmm, I thought I should be able to edit my previous post but couldn't find an edit button?!

[mingus]

Hi everyone. Another newby forum member here (but, a longtime lurker here and at RecPit).

Electric Guitar: Gifted
Acoustic Guitar: Skilled
Electric Bass: Skilled/Adequate
Nord Electro (e. piano/B-3): Adequate
Vocals: Adequate w/somewhat limited range
Songwriting: Adequate
Mixing/Production/Editing etc.: Nope!
FTP Space: No
Point Man: No

I have just about any classic electric guitar rig/sound you could want. I am running Protools LE 7.0 and have a reasonable studio in which to track other local players if needed.

I trend towards what I would call intelligent rock. My tastes start with the Beatles and go to Aimee Mann, Kevin Gilbert, Zero 7 and Steely Dan and everything in between. I like a great groove, strong melody and great harmonies.

I'm not too enthusiastic about country, metal, industrial or rap.

[FajitaTone]

Mixing- yeah, it's what I do.


Everything else: NO.


BTW, I mix ITB.

[PSN John Davidson]

I feel like a virgin of Prom night!! You guys have to promise to take it easy on me....this is my first time. I've been kicking it around whether or not to jump in, and decided I just have to do it!!! (thanks Big Al!)

Lead Vox-No Way

Back Vox- Good Pitch, not great sound:P

Elec. Guitar- Adequate (POD XT pro) rhythm, no solo

Acoustic-Adequate (But not very)

Drums-Extremely Gifted (Friend's say Maestro, but I've seen some guys that deserve that title)

Percussion Programming-Skilled

Didgeridoo-I change the air in it once in a while :lol:

Pointman- Gifted (But I don't want to do this on my first project)

Mixing - skilled (in music, but don't want to do this)

I have no web space

I'm definitely good to play drums, and interested in rhythm guitar. I like Prog rock, alt rock, and grunge etc .(I have a 7 String guitar, if anyone is thinking "LOW") Anyways, I hope I can lend a hand.

BASS - Skilled

I would really prefer to play bass this time.
I just moved, I am still fixing up my new recording room and my guitar situation is a little in flux.

Cape I - Team Mixerman - Electric Guitars (not slide, that was done by nomad)

Cape II - Team Spirit - Bass (Did I mention playing bass would be nice?)

Cape III - Team Organic - Electric Guitars

Cape IV - Team Twang - Electric Guitars

Have done rock, blues and country so far. But, I am up for any style this time around.

I have no FTP space available at this time.

Oppps...time flies by. Just realized sign-up deadline is close..:-)
So here we go.

Drums
Adequate (Cape III -Resonance, CaPe IV - Habitant (Stand-in))

Bass
Adequate (CaPe IV - Habitant (Stand in))

Keyboards
Well, there is a keyboard in our studio, I think. Given long enough time, I guess I can sort of lean on it to get some pad's or organs out of it. Absolutely no classical piano playing, unless you're a masochist.

Prefer blues, rock, pop, prog. 60's-70's-ish.
I have Logic 7, acoustic drums, Ddrums, some perc. Oh, and a bass...:-)
No FTP space, sorry.

Cheers,
Test4Echo

Oops. I forgot to mention I am located in San Diego County, California.

Songwriting - skilled
Point Man - skilled
Vocals - skilled
Bass - only on keys
Drums - again on keys / loops
Donald Duck impression - skilled


I can't really say that there's any real style of music I prefer, but I can say that I don't typically listen to country or hip-hop. The last few weeks, I've been listening to indie things (Mobile, Kill Hannah, Editors), some harder-edge stuff (Three Days Grace, Nine Black Alps, Wolfmother) and some Progressive ditties (Dream Theater, Muse, Jordan Rudess).

From a songwriting perspective, I'm a proponent of the KISS principle (not the band, but Keep It Simple Stupid!). Not to say that wank-off solos and odd time signatures are out, but I like to have a solid song structure and foundation, good hooks and melody, and well-thought lyrics before thinking about adding complexity to a song.

mmmm.... sushi

Hi all. Sign me up and count me in... Didn't expect my first post here to be a sign-up to CAPE V, but hey - gotta start somewhere... :)

[leester]

ALRIGHT already... sheesh.

Lee Ster

E guitar: gifted
A guitar: skilled
bass: skilled (no slap/pop/kabop)
keys: adequate
vocals: limited skill :Roll eyes:
mixer: hack
arranger: gifted (IMNSFHO) :very happy:
writer musical: gifted
writer lyrical: rusty rut
point man: obsessive, opinionated, and pissy... so they say. :lol:

Biggest drawback with mixing would be track count. Evergreen in the 20's (?) would work, but Banned in the 90-100's ain't gonna happen. If push came to shove, I could probably round up some additional equipment to get the job done though.

Genres - fine with just 'bout anything, prefer grunge & desert over speed metal, jazz & fusion over prog, raw drivin' bluesy over polished pop, but my 'favorite' is seein' what happens with THIS group at THIS time... whatever the heck that may be. Phish, Mule, Rush, Zep, Gomez, BB, QOTSA, Dead, Hip, Tull, Vital Info, Dylan, Carlton, Clapton... Yeah... that paints a picture like Picasso...

Don't particularly like rap & hip-hop, but have found myself playin' loop-like riffs while someone spewed more words in five minutes than I write in a year. Bah... it's all good.

Don't care what yer on about, I just wanna be proud when the song fades out.

Probably have enough team space via FTP if I clean up a lil bit. Unless I end up on a Team Drummer and get half-hour 14 track solos from 8 different drummers...

Speakin' of drummers, I got 5-6 auxillarys if y'all need one. :lol:

mees

[nomad]

Quit fuckin' pestering me already. I'll do it.

Coddling: No
Unwarranted compliments: No

I'll mix sober if you ask nice.
Playing sober is out of the question.


*Acoustic, Electric, Slide, 6 or 12 strings, Feedback, Amp hum, String squeaks, Random squawks and freaky noises. Playing in tune optional. Playing in time depends. Are your fuckin' drums and bass in time?

Jeff_C from Dallas, TX

Fretted & Fretless Bass Guitar: Skilled +
Lead Vocals: Adequate
Background Vocals: Adequate +
Electric Guitar: Adequate
Roland Handsonic (Electronic Hand Percussion): Adequate - Skilled
Various Hand Percussion: Adequate
Keys: Less than adequate, but I have 'em

Songwriting: Adequate +, but everything I have ready is Christian. Not sure how appropriate that would be or how the rest of the group would feel about it.

My usual gig is bass & vocals leading contemporary worship at church. I'd love the chance to stretch a bit and play something different than the usual contemporary Christian, congregation sings with you kind of thing.

How about doing something with horns and a Tower of Power/Liquid Soul/Redtenbacker's Funkestra sound? Or maybe some classic sounding jazz or blues. How about some classic or country rock, some Kansas/Yes style prog rock. Almost anything except punk, rap, or death metal.

I've been playing music on and off for 25 years, but I've never done online collaboration. Put me in, coach. I'm ready to play!

Alright...that's it! We've achieved the nice, round number of 150 total entrants this year, which is a fabulous accomplishment for a project of this magnitude.

Over the next few days, team selections will be finalized, and teams will be announced by 23:59 EST on January 31st.

If you have arrived late and still want to be involved in CAPE, don't despair! I will be creating a CAPE Reserves thread to group together potential replacements for drop-outs.

Thanks again for your participation. Stay tuned...
