sshhhh
well not to burst your bubble (pop pop), but music making in a non-jam
format tends to work less effectively with more people. plus, as with any
genre, there will be few situations where the people involved will
appreciate the same artists and song styles. compromises can be made, but
why compromise when you can work alone and achieve the results you really want?
for me, i work alone because i prefer making music that i want, rather than
making music that i kinda like and someone else kinda likes too. plus it's
just not as fun unless you do it all live, because, unless you have 2 fast
computers, someone's gonna be stuck watching, which is (imo) a pretty lame
way to make music ;)
now, using hardware and synths and samplers for duos can work, and it's
always nice to bounce ideas off someone, but most duos are friends first,
music-group second, so...
but hey, it's a possibly fun idea. don't let me ruin your dreams simply
because my opinion is different. if you find someone in the area and crank
out some good tunes, then more power to ya and i'd be very pleased to be
proven wrong :)
