Hello Everybody :)
I wanted to post something here about Collaboration(s) and a feature that I think is often overlooked or that maybe some feel is "intrusive" in some way so they don't use it. That is the messaging feature.
A recent track I had added lead and rhythm guitar to found a vocalist later on after another musician had added an additional lead part to. Thus the vocalist ended up putting their addition in the last 1/3 of the track. Not ideal in a collaborative sense. It was a great addition...but by the time the vocalist found the track or had time to do thier part the chance to make the track a truly collaborative "song" had passed.
I know some of us don't ALWAYS keep .wav files or separated tracks for various reasons. Mostly the space needed to do that. Totally understandable.
BUT what I would urge any and all to do is to reach out to the people or person via the Messaging feature to see if they A) Have those files that they could upload or B) Ask them if they would mind doing another run at it since you have an idea that could/would make a great track.
So many of the collabs I have been a part of with the amazing musicians here almost always started with a message from one to the other or a reply to a comment on an initial track. As time allows, personally, I will ALWAYS try to work with anyone I can that has an idea for a collaboration as long as I feel I have something worthy to add to it.
I think almost everyone else here would share this idea on collaborating with others. I doubt anyone receiving a message from another member asking if they have the stems of something or if they would mind doing a remix with "X" part only would ever flat out say "No" or be upset. Yes, time in everyone's lives is always a factor but I think the vast majority of us would more likely be HAPPY to create something with others together more than be upset at the "ask".

If someone wants to make a new remix with my post, just write a "message" to me, I will then send the HD track of my post by mail.

So many of the collabs I have done with others were exactly this way :)
