I take the artwork files & make PDF files of it. It will can be downloaded, read & printed by anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.0 or better. If anyone doesn't have it they can download it free from Adobe. This is usually the best way. Sometimes there are font problems, but if I keep the fonts pretty generic there won't be. If you want to set up the site go ahead Dan. Thanks for your enthusiasm. Dan, if you want to assemble the text that goes with each track please feel free. I have Excel here on another machine, although Microsoft Word or a straight text file is OK. Whatever you are comfortable in. Dave, I presume this will be produced in a Standard Jewel Case called The Keyboard Corner - Volume I & The Keyboard Corner - Volume II. Or would it be in a Double Jewel Case? The times of the songs I will get at the end. I also need to know if the place that is going to print it will print or photocopy on both sides. Usually at this point I ask the customer to show examples of styles they like, but this is not practical in this situation. For speed & efficency, I'll produce a one design & let people comment on it. We can tweak it from there. I got company be back in a minute.

dansouth Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 B3 - PDF sounds good to me. Thanks for taking the initiative on this. In preparation, I'll assemble a text file with the names of all of the songs on the MP3 site, another with who submitted them. If anyone has any web pages or copyright notices that they want listed next to their song title, they can send me an email. It will probably look something like this. Song A, Copyright 2001 Abe Adams, www.abeadams.com Song B, Bob Blair, Copyright 2001 Blair Music, BMISong C, Charles Chow, Copyright 1996 Chow Time Music, www.mp3.com/chuckchow Song D, Copyright 200 Dave Dramatic, www.dramatic.com/dave I'll sequence the information when Dave gives me the song order - or maybe I'll just send the text file to him - then we can send it on to you (B3).

I don't want to hold this up but what about sponsorship? I think we should sell a logo space on the front to Keyboard Mag or musicplayer.com or both or to somebody. Who is Chris Stone?

dansouth Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Yeah, let's NOT hold this up. I'd rather worry about product first, marketing later. If the Keyboard Mag publishers want to spread the word about this project, that's nice, but let's make sure that we have something to show them first. Chris is a moderator on another forum where they've had some trouble putting together a compilation. He doesn't seem to think we're going to be successful in delivering a finished product.

Guest Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 It's really nice to sit here on the other side of Atlantic ocean, 31 degrees celcius, and seeing things progress with the CD. I think I'm in love with you all.(Don't tell my fiancée) http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif It's hard to do anything from here, but if you ever need anything done, just let me know.

dansouth Posted July 6, 2001 Share Posted July 6, 2001 I don't know how to point to a specific post via a URL, so I copied this text from a post by Chris Stone. Based on the 12-13 pages on the subject, my comment about "believing it when I see it" was in reference only to Dave's keyboard forum trying to put one out. After all the problems we have seen on this forum, I seriously question that it can be done. I think "too many cooks" is the reason we seem trapped in mediocrity here. He posted this despite the fact that a couple of guys on his forum have produced successful compilations in the past. I guess I'm not following his logic.

Dave Bryce Posted July 7, 2001 Author Share Posted July 7, 2001 So... With the latest addition from the Netherlands (Thank you, brother Pim!!) we now have 26 tracks for the CD. If we split them up the middle right now, that's 13 per CD, with each CD averaging right about 40 minutes... Although I suppose that it'd be fine to finish them right now, we do totally have room for more music! It'd be nice to get like four, maybe six, even eight more tunes to fill out these discs. Anybody else have a tune they'd like to submit? I thought about suggesting that maybe we could drop in a few second tunes by people who've already contributed, but upon reflection I'm not inclined to think that's such a great idea... Also, I'd like to hear your thoughts on sequencing. Considering the extreme diversity of musical styles, I'm not sure that it makes sense to try and organize them a logical flow - I'm of the opinion that it'll end up jumping all over the place no matter what...which is kinda cool, if you ask me! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif The easiest things for us to do is sequence them by A) order of submission, which is basically the order that they're in on the site, B) alphabetical by song title, or C) alphabetical by artist. How do y'all feel about these options? Do you have any other ones that you'd like to suggest? If left on my own, I'd probably lean towards alphabetical by song title...

Dave Bryce Posted July 7, 2001 Author Share Posted July 7, 2001 Spilt and sequenced as I proposed above, the two discs would look like this: VOLUME I1) A Long Way From Home2) AfterShock3) Angel of the Odd4) Balthazar5) Fugue in Am (Prophet Fugue)6) Highway7) Ive seen the Future8) Identity Crisis9) Issimo10) Its Over11) July 4th12) Kellys Garden13) Mountains of Love VOLUME II1) Notes2) On a Tangent3) On the Skidz4) Right Here Somehow5) Seven Corners6) Standing in the Rain7) Starstruck8) Swept Away9) The Blue Light is Back10) The Isles Shall Wait11) The Light Of Valhalla12) Waves and Particles13) Xample dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod S Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 Been busy the last few days entertaining guests (and going on vacation to Brazil next week WOOHOO.....) so let me catch up a little. I'd go for the idea of the alphabetical song title. And I agree, the flow will be strange no matter what, and that will be the cool thing about it. I think having one tune per person is the best and most democratic, this way we get a sampling of everyone's style. I'm still in awe about the diversity of styles we have, and the quality of the work. As far as the art, I like the idea of the dowloadable pdf. I spoke with a friend of mine who suggested the exact same thing. I figure you can always get it printed a KINKO's or something on a glossy paper and have it look nice. And, as much as I would love to see mention on keyboard mag (how cool is that). I'm dying to get a hold of this CD. As a total amateur musician, this is quite an experience for me. So that it's clear for everyone, once we get to it, we should post instruction about what to do, ie(1) If you're in list 1 send cd to Dave/Dan, whoever(2) Send you info to Steve, etc. Keep up the good work guys. I'll try to keep checking the posts while I'm down in Brazil next 2 weeks.

Steve LeBlanc Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 I KNOW I'm being stubborn but damn I still like the idea of a Double CD rather than two volumes...obviously I'll have to be happy with whatever the majority chooses on this but I'll keep whining about it anyway. Order of Submission strangely enough seems to have a better flow musically as I play the songs in my head...maybe it's because that's the way the tunes were first presented to me and I've been very excited by that presentation. Just imagine holding in your hand 2 CDs of music in one Comp...the weight of it...so compact...so full of music...all titled Volume 1, Disc 1&2 What if I buy the double Cases?

Gus Lozada Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 COVER IS GREAT !! I guess it should include the URL to the MP3 Web Site or mention something about MUSIC PLAYER.COM; It came from here, right? Anything like "Music Player.Com presents THE KEYBOARD CORNER Compilations" Regarding the CREDITS: 1) What about having EXACTLY the same back cover in both CD's? The single back cover should mention the credits for songs of both CD's.So if anoyone has only CD 1 will be curious about having CD 2 and viceversa. 2) CREDITS Format: VOLUMEN 2 x) NAME OF THE TRACK Name of Author / Country of Origin / Artist E-Mail NickName at Forum Music Publisher, if required Example: 7) STANDING IN THE RAIN Gustavo G Lozada, MEXICO, GusTraX@yahoo.com GusTraX TraX Musik, Mexico EXCELLENT, Excellent work, gentlemen...So proud of being here. ------------------Gustavo G Lozada Moderador de: MusicPlayer.com/NuestroForo "La voz en Español en Música y Tecnología" GusTraX @yahoo.com Músico, Productor, Ingeniero, Tecnólogo Senior Product Manager, América Latina y Caribe - PreSonus at Fender Musical Instruments Company Instagram: guslozada Facebook: Lozada - Música y Tecnología www.guslozada.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything like "Music Player.Com presents THE KEYBOARD CORNER Compilations" I'm glad somebody else brought this up, although it's someone who is affiliated with musicplayer.com, but I think that before the musicplayer.com logo goes on, there should be sponsorship fee paid. I also think that Keyboard Mag should be approached. Maybe manufacturers or music store chain. With the Heavy Hitters who participate in this Forum, they must know the right people. Then we could even get the CD's produced & manufactured properly to take the load off Dave & Dan, etc. Its a lot easier to get sponsorship now with something to show. Thanks Gus for your praise!
