Okay, lots to address.
tippler, you are most welcome. I was afraid that lead vocals would default to me, which isn't terrible, but isn't great either. My singing, while capable, is hardly going to win any awards.
And yeah, Fly, I've heard you sing. Your biggest problem is confidence, and you know it.
vanblah, the ftp site is most appreciated. That will work nicely for distribution.
In terms of the track, And I Love Her is one that I was considering. My only issue with it was the lead vocals, which I personally find very challenging. It's also a bit odd to arrange, in that it contains some rather irregular key changes, but even so it's a strong contender.
Question to the group: what type of song do you guys all want to do? Would you prefer something ballad-ish, or more uptempo? Does anyone else have any suggestions regarding a specific track?
For recording, the easiest way will be for one person to handle the mixing of everything. Audacity is a great programming for recording tracks, but as vanblah mentioned we will be using a guide track and will want to record over top of that, since it's essentially going to be a rough cut probably put together by myself.
Fly, you and I will probably work together on the mix. I think that's going to be the best way to handle it.
I'm going to work on putting a guide track together tomorrow or Monday, so that we can get started soon. If anyone has any recommendations on what song you want to do, now's the time to say something.
