Once I get on the forum Board, I'll look for topics of discussions. Songwriting Topics, Recording Topics etc. This is where you'll find folks to collaborate with.
A great why to start is by taking a consensus. Throw the idea out there with some guidelines established. Remember, it's all in the approach. Then, folks need to hear what you are working on first, just to find out if it's something they can get into...
My first "collabs" were done by posting backing tracks for others to download and do their own thing with..
Some of the top players on AP really had a good time with that, and it grew into something way beyond what I intended. Very cool?
You can do the same thing by building the backing track, and listing the lyrics you want in the song description.
You'll probably get a lot more folks involved if you let them post the songs on their own pages too...
To collaborate with others takes time. Just being vague and asking for a collaboration will probably not get very many responses. Having your ideas laid out before hand would probably get more responses. Most good musicians I know are looking to be challenged a little when it comes to making music. Remember, it's got be worth while I'm sure.
Any "collaboration" is a community effort between people, with equal input and participation throughout the project.
A great approach would be to post a subject idea for a group project, discuss ideas posted by participating members on that subject, and come to a consensus on:
1. What the outline of the song should be (genre, instrumentation, time signature, tempo, key, section layout of verses/choruses/bridges/solos).
2. Which people will contribute what parts and instruments
3. Where the finished parts of each collaborator will be uploaded to
4. Who is responsible for collecting/mixing/mastering the parts
5. A timeline for when parts need to be done to keep the project moving smoothly
6. What profile the song will be uploaded to
7. A "project head" to oversee the entire process and make sure things are running smoothly, communication is consistent and informative, and every participant is included equally in the project.
"Hope these tips and guidelines help you get you on the right track."
