Title: carlofthevplates
at this stage carlofthevplates I would suggest holding onto any track that you may do until the legalities have been made clear to us all… but if all that legal stuff is cleared and its ok for us too proceed… I could suggest that I can set up ftp accounts on my bands webspace where people can send their finished tracks too… this could kill two birds with one stone as I could then remaster all the tracks so that the eq and volume/compression levels are pretty much globalised… and then after that… who knows?!?! haha we’ll have to see if anything further develops with regards a possible cd release.. however I imagine that the easiest way of people hearing the tracks would would be too set up maybe a peoplesound/iuma/purevolume account where the tracks can be uploaded/downloaded and maybe a nominal fee which could go to a charity could also be employed through the use of one or all three of the aformentioned sites… ?!?! but then maybe I am being a little over ambitious with my ideas and it might just be easier to set up a site somewhere for people to download the tracks for free… maybe the Therapy? lads could host the resulting mp3/wma files on their own site?!?!

Title: recording
as far as recording goes… its very much a case of whatever you can do as long as the quality is as good as you can get it… I can personally remaster tracks (for free!!!)… but you cant polish a turd!!! hahaha if the sound is incredibly bad it’ll remain incredibly bad… so do what you can with the sound to get a good recorded sound… a good tip for most bedroom muso’s or people on a tight budget would be if you are intending to record either live or you need to mic up an amp… if you have a camcorder hook it up to your pc ‘Line’ input and use the mic on the camcorder… as a rule camcorder mics are usually 99% stereo compressor microphones… so you will get a superior recording quality as opposed to using a traditional microphone… what you will have to bear in mind though is ‘spacial awareness’.. and what I mean by that is that with a camcorder mic being stereo you will have to choose the position of the camcorder with a little care so as to make sure that the sound that you are recording is centred (about equal in volume in the left speaker and the right!)… although this can be corrected its best to get it sorted before rather than later… if you catch me drift…

Title: permissions
thats great… I am really pleased that the lads think it is a good idea…
… with regards artwork should the project gain momentum… there is a guy that both myself(Scott) and ‘Bones of death’(Liam) know that is really up for getting involved if artwork is required and from what I gather he is a great artist too… I saw one or two of his doodles a long while ago and they were pretty impressive… it might be cool to have him do some Therapy? caricatures…
… as it looks like things are going to take off an idea that we had was to have either a gatefold sleeve with photos of each band with a little blurb about who the band/individual’s are and how they first started listening too Therapy?’s music… another idea was just a collage of pics of the bands/individuals involved as an inner sleeve design…
… SO… look out a good quality printable photo (preferably 300dpi jpg or a large sized photo) of your band or yourself… just incase the legality thingies get sorted and we get the green light… at this time I dont know how things are going to play out but I would think it best to take our cues from the band themselves what with all the legal thingies that need to be taken into consideration… who knows Andy, Michael and Neil might want to hear the tunes first before they are made available… it might be cool too if they were to engineer any deals regarding liaising with an independent label in order too put the resulting cd out for general release?!?!?!

Title: straight versions
our version of Screamager is pretty faithful to the original although the timings on almost every riff have changed a little… into a perhaps harder punk/metal direction… but as I say our version is pretty faithful to the original track… a few beats have changed along the way though what with us using a drum machine things invariably sound different anyway… so rather than try to emulate a real drummer.. I ran with the drum machine and there is a little bit of a Ministry meets Godflesh kind of vibe to the rythum section… I hope people will like it… I imagine they will… it’ll be cool if we get the go ahead in the new year… it’ll be an interesting way to start the year…
