Efficiently producing with a partner
I used to produce with a good friend of mine and I found the best method was networking our computers side by side one guy doing samples and one guy doing drums and mixing in real time which kicked ass! If you can try it out you should those were some of the best tunes I wrote, but now due to space restrictions that is impossible. So anyone have any other methods of banging out tracks with a partner?

I did an ep with a friend who lived halfway across the country. We had a workflow where he would send me an idea, I'd expand it and send him an mp3, he'd make comments, then I'd finish it and mix. It worked well because it played to our strengths.

I work with my best friend who uses Cubase and is real into recording. I use Reason, so i don't have that ability and it's a real nice match-up. He knows everything about hardware and I can fix any problem he has with software quickly. Works out perfectly until our artistic tastes clash

Re: Efficiently producing with a partner
it's hard ive found...when working on one computer the person not at the controls tends to get distracted/disinterested.
how did you network 2 machines together to work like that? Was one of you working in an editor and the other working in your DAW?

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit.

Re: Efficiently producing with a partner
well i mean... it's all about being engaged and having the right dynamic.
if the person you're working with spaces out when you're at the controls, or vice versa-- maybe it's not the right team.
what works for us, during writing, is giving each song a particular home base-- 1 might be at my place, 1 might be at the other's, and whoever's house it is is in the drivers seat.
mixes all come down at my place, so it's a matter of working together and being open to suggestions.
but yeah, if you don't have that dynamic-- find another collaborator.
