I'm surprised there aren't more virtual bands. People who send audacity files around between different musicians and add tracks with different instruments. I think that would be a lot of fun, either recording covers or helping others making recordings of their own compositions.

I enjoy doing this...both with the current collaboration track we're working on here (when I get a chance to consolidate it, anyway), with ImmortalSix's song that I added drums to...it's fun. And it's just neat to be able to have people remotely combine their talents.

Just going through some of my old recordings.

Good lord, they sound pretty terrible.
That was back in the day when I thought you needed to max the gain out on the rhythm guitars to get it to chunk hard enough.
And then, sometime after I finished all those recordings, I realized my technique had improved and I only needed half as much gain and it would actually sound bigger

I find its just hard to play the music I do (jazz and fusion) convincingly without a live band (band in a box just isn't enough). I'll see if I can get a video of a gig or two though.

I'd love to , but I don't have any recording software.

I use Audacity on Linux and FreeBSD. There's a Windows version, which might or might not be of the same quality. It's free OpenSource software.

I wouldn't call it great but it gets the job done and thanks to digital recording it doesn't damage the quality either way. Of course you need a decent soundcard first.

I've run into that same problem a bunch of times as well...I do all my own tracks (drums, bass, keys, guitar) so I can still get a convincing 'organic' performance, but it still isn't the same as a group of musicians interacting in real time.

I have put up a couple of songs there. I have 2-3 more in the works, and I am still waiting for the CD the choir I play for was in session for last winter, so I'll probably put up a couple of songs from there too.. Scary -- sure, yeah, but I would like some feedback to help me get on a better track, and well... to echo wahwah, what doesn't kill you....
