Now that the voting is almost complete and it looks like Diem32 Duran Style Demo1 will be the project starting point, it is time for some discussion. soundcloud.com/carvertronic/diem32-duran-style-demo-1-cut/s-PkaeKWhat is everyone's vision for a track? I am still thinking a Careless Memories, Hold Back The Rain, aggressive energy, Girls On Film trash song. I would like to see the bit from above cut out of the demo for a chorus and build completely new sections for verses. Also: In the future I am proposing that decisions by vote will be very fast, one to two days.
Megaupload may be the best way to go for file sharing and by private link that will be sent by pm to everyone who wants to participate.

We have an eighth vote and a tie now rendering my last post a little premature. If there is a finalizing vote it will be a very fast one so keep tabs. Diem32 and Cantualla1 get your tracks ready for upload as much as possible - multi-tracks, midi, key signatures, chords, etc.... If the poll comes to one last vote it might be a good thing if we can dig into the tracks a little deeper this time around. Upload the work here - mega.nz/It is simple to set up an account, everyone will probably need to have one, I'm guessing. Once you have a link than it can be sent by pm or posted to everybody. I think it would be good to have an evaluation of everyone's work weekly if they have something that is assessable. Decisions may need to be made during the week as things get going, so make sure you are checking daily so processes are not held up by lack of communication. Lets get a head count of everyone who is still on board and ready to go by posting in again and leaving any ideas to the process you might have. Except for holidays I'm hoping at least one of us will always be doing something. No one needs to destroy any relationships over this, it is serious but casual. Right? Also let me throw a shout-out to Sashaydriver, hope you will jump back in if you get the chance. Maybe give us some input if nothing else.

An idea for whoever ends up writing the lyrics... have you thought about plugging the band's lyrics into some sort of system that can count up how many times certain words are being used? For example, if the top words end up being ‘stars’, ‘love’, and ‘dream’, then maybe that can be a way of inspiring some ideas or what phrases to include. Just throwing that out there!

I'd love to try to sing that "Universal" song, it sounds amazing.

Hope everyone got their vote in, it's nearly done and hallelujah for that. I still need a new head count of everyone that wants to participate moving forward now, either post in again or send a pm to me please.
Cantualla1 lets get your track uploaded to Megaupload as previously mentioned on p.8. I plan on getting to listening and breaking down each piece of the demo right away.
The process I would like to use is to work on a track for a week or two and then evaluate. If there is not an interesting topline developing we switch to some of the other voted tracks and repeat the process. Without a potentially great topline we have no song and certainly no Duran Duran song. If we have something emerging we can spend more time, still checking the pulse each week to make sure we're not burning out.
If there is a coordinated and concentrated effort each week where everyone is taking a crack at the same track I think the project will benefit the most. The focus is the first two records and everyone needs to have this ruthless focus or things are going to be a mess. If we go for it and nothing seems to be working and sounds like shit we will shift to a later Duran sound.
There will be more rejection than stroking our egos and ideas are going to get absolutely molested, raped and pillaged, leaving little resemblance of what they used to be. I'm fine with that if the end result is a classic song. Any ideas or comments on any of the above?
