So far, it looks like the bar just got raised from project one. Talk about tallent! Everyone should be realy proud of their work on this. But as we learned from project one, if we don't set some sort of timeline, it will never get done.

We'll need everyone's Copywrite information / Credit Notes info as well.


get you cut in before it's too late

Submit here: http://newfunkorder.com/p....php?t=253

After this deadline, you will have a 2 month grace period to make improvements on your track. But you must reserve your spot by March 1st.

The project timelines are as followed
January - March: compile album / promote last release
April - June: finalize album / promotion material
July - Sept: compile album / promote last release

That's 2 project albums per year. You got the FUNK?

I've already stated that I will be participating, but haven't decided on a cut. Obviously I have quite a few to choose from, but I'm working on something special. Is this ok?

I remember. It's always ok.

Code Blue

needs to quit working and start recording

I think you'll need to clarify what you mean by deadline.

The FINISHED MASTERED song. Not the rough mix. I know I'm definitely guilty of this with my last song - got the first version in with a "Hold onto that one while I mix it down better" - which took me what, two months?

To those of you planning to submit, be sure that you've got a song finished. Finished. Finalized. Like I said, I know I'm throwin stones from the glass shed, but just trying to expedite the process this time.

Additionally, does anyone actually KNOW who all is participating this time? Slave? What's up with your recording? I haven't heard nairn from you in awhile.

Maybe you should start with a list of submitters, and then you'll have a checklist to start with.

Just a thought. And no, I'm not submitting this time - I was on the first one, that's rocks enough for me... make room for some o this talent round heres.

How's the edit?
Or is that still too slow?

That link has all current submissions for project 2. Whether they put out when the time comes remains to be seen. We are getting wave files up front this time.



True, I totally agree. By the way did you see the final stats for January? You're up there, man! Anywho, I'm thinking I'll be happy being incognito on project 2, now that 2FunkE is back, I'm gonna see about getting "My Groove" onto project 2 just for kicks. If not, that's ok too. I GOTTA finish MY cd!

NFO said:

So wave files are due by May or Too Bad So Sad?

VinaBlue said:

Yes.

otan said:

I know, I've been through some ego/drama with trying to play with other people and I've been working on being a better drummer (with my new drum set). Waiting for my new mixing board as I type, buying some drum mic's from a friend, blah, blah, blah.

I'm really going to make an effort to get on the next NFO, I just have to. So March 1st for the committment, then May for the final mix, all sound like dates I can actually deal with so that's my goal.

The main thing I'm working on is getting a better sound overall and then recording all of the different parts. I went through all of the ideas I came up with last year and have been building them into songs. I'm babbling now.

My song "Night Of The Club" features a sample...but if it is not 4 sale...would it b a problem? (JD really wanted and liked 4 this song 2 b on it). Otherwise i got lots o jams that i can submit.

i.e. "Let Me Try" - The Odds & Ends // (L.Butler, W. Butler & J. Grant) Madrix Music / Bell Boy Music (BMI).

I'm sure it's all good if you put the credit in the notes.
Right?

NFO said:

I think you have to officially ask for permission for samples. Ask Otan about this, he's always got mad knowledge.

Hey Y'all!

I think you wanted "Sweet Erotica", which is fine by me, but Whatever you'd like is also fine by me...







Jshua

How 'bout I submit a new country song I have? Hehehee.

Styles said:

That's my vote!


Peace,
JD

artist08 said:

Actually that's not a bad idea! What if you did a satire where you got the "country bumpkin" goin on and he gets beat up by the Funk Police.

Something "Exodus" style like that. Be creative! I bet you could do something very entertaining.

"Sweet Erotica" is a great song.

but I love the Jimi style workout on "4th Dim".

Looking at this from a "album view", this one compliments Franks tune the best. So when it comes time to compile this thing together, it's easier to ballance it out and no one seems apart from the rest.

My opinion.

NFO said:

I don't think we should decide on anyone's song based on someone else's song. I like 4th Dimension and Sweet Erotica, but I think Sweet Erotica should make the cd. We could leave it up to Styles, its his music.

Styles?
Whatever you leave on the submission page will get worked in.

NFO said:

Ahhh...never thought of that. I could possibly entertain that idea.

my studio is in fucked land at the moment & so my plans to record a track specially for NFO have been haulted. I hope to have this sorted soon but if not, rest assured I will contribute one of my other finished tracks if I am unable to fix it in time

artist08 said:

Segues!
All the great funk albums have them!

cloud9mission said:

Can you record a segue? Something comical?
I'm stuck on that right now for some reason.

Anywho, Can you get it in the next couple of months?

cloud9mission said:

SUBMIT SCENIC ROUTE! THAT SONG IS FRIGGIN AWESOME!


Peace,
JD

Ok, check out "Alt-country Buffet" - that's the country track for the comical bumpkin-NFO police segue. Tell me what you think. We can use our "black mf in the house" voices.

HA!

"hey that's my cousin!"

I am going to be SO PROUD to be apart of this.

Have you heard some of this? http://www.newfunkorder.c....php?t=253

Hopefully I can make the cut for the second album..I'm not finished mastering stuff yet.
