Audio Trade?

[MaestroRage]

A thought occurs today. In the drawing field, people do art trades. They take each other's characters and redraw them in their style. It seems rather popular so I got to thinking how that concept could apply to audio and the answer was pretty immediate.

We could take each others songs, take a melody from one and create a small song with that melody in their own desired style. Or even similar style but done in their fashion.

I'd be up for a small audio trade this way. About a minute or so of audio length. Any takers? Who'd be interested doing audio trades with each other?

Isn't this what a remix is?

Yeah except its usually one sided, not a full on trade.

Remix usually implies that there will be something extremely similar between the two songs. This is a tad different where as you get the melody and you can do whatever the hell you want with it (I think?). So to an extent its a remix but not in the general idea that people have when they hear the word "remix"

[MaestroRage]

exactly. I suppose it could be considered a remix (if the person who took the melody remakes it in the same genre or it sounds similar), but this is an agreement between two people.

Sounds like fun. I'd be interested.

Ah, gotchya. I see what you are intending now. Nifty idea. Have fun with it. :-)

Like Rob Mayth's "here we are"

Essentially the arkanoid theme song :3

[VegetarianMeat]

I'm pretty sure a remix actually uses samples from the original song to create something new. This seems more like something of a cover.

[bossler13]

that's actually a pretty good idea. i agree, it's basically covering a song, but two sided now. I'm down. pm me if you're interested?

To what extent are you giving them in terms of notes. Just the lead melody or do you include chords, bass notes, and all that jazz? Or is it up to the user to decide for himself.

I was thinking just the main melody. Chords/bass lines all excluded. In my opinion it's the melody that defines the song's nature. I'm sure some people would disagree but it's also the easiest and most flexible way to work. If you give people chords and bass lines you're giving them specific instructions and direction.
