What you do in this situation James, is you send your vocal tracks to the "owner" of the song and let him/her mix them in as they see fit. Fair enough you do your own mix for your own use, but anything that gets posted for public listening should be done by the owner, and noone else.

I'm not trying to flame you. As you know, I quite liked what you came up with. It's just not up to you to mix and post it.

peace

gracejames,

To be clear, what you were asked to do was to send your vocal tracks, alone, to Rogerio to mix, edit, and decide whether to post/not post as he saw fit. Instead, you sang and 'pasted' vocals over a stand alone instrumental and posted it. You had already done the same thing once, playing guitar on top of the already guitar-heavy 'Anger'instrumental, and posted that too without asking.

I don't think you would want someone to play guitar solos over your existing material, and then post it somewhere without even asking you first. This creates an awkward situation. For one thing, there have been other singers submitting vocals for the song too, and it has to be the writer's decision which version to post, if any.

You're obviously very creative, and I think you did a good job on your vocal take. But, it should be the writer's decision whether or not to post a mix.

And some parts she voise is too "kind", I mean those aggression parts... But I think that she evolv and that was only a demo. BTW I listened "Everyone's a Fool (for Somebody)" and what I can say? Pro dude, Pro

Hey Guys,


I am sorry for the long silence, but I got extremely busy on the last 2 weeks.
I am also sorry for what happened here, but now I am sure that we all know how the “Collaborating” thing should be.
When I wrote Anger Management , I sent a scratch version to Roy Howell, and asked him if he could do something. He did a GREAT guitar part and sent it to me on a separated track. I did my own mix and asked him if it was ok. I wanted him to be happy with the mix and yet try to keep my original ideas. In fact, his guitar was so great that I even thought about leaving the song as an Instrumental piece.
Then I heard some of the songs on GraceJames’s webpage, and I dig it. He had sent me an e-mail with his guitar ideas on Anger, and on my reply, I asked him if he could try to put vocals on it, because I liked his Vocals a lot. He sure did, and sent me a scratch part. I liked and asked if he could do the whole thing and he agreed. I sent a mix without solos, so he could be more comfortable to do the Vocals. Although he did an extraordinary job, I wasn’t expecting him to put the vocals over Roy’s Guitar.
Well, I think that part of it is my fault too… I should be more specific and clear about what I wanted. Also, I have a little language barrier, since ENGLISH is NOT my first language. I am sorry if ANGER made people ANGRY, but the thing is that, without you guys, I would never had finished this track. Roy Howell, GraceJames and Nick Rogero did a great job and showed me other points of view on this song.
Thank you very much for all your effort on collaborating. It was greatly appreciated.
Now I am going to catch up with the songs that had been posted here, and I will soon give my feedback.


Special thanks to Roy Howell, James and Nick. You guys are the best.


Peace
