Trombone (kinda), sax, guitar, piano and if it counts - recorder

(We're a very musical school )

Bass & Cornet.

I dabble in Piano & every other brass instrument apart from the Trombone.

I wanna learn cirulated breathing

Can't find it anywhere on the net

EDIT: YAY! http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Study/CircularBreathing.html

I play trumpet, and a little bit of drums.

It seems to me that many ppl around here play one or more instrument.
Here is a deal, what if everyone will record a little sample in A minor scale and I would mix 'em all and at the end we will end up with some musical piece ...or perhaps masterpiece.... ..you name it..
If you are in, please attach zipped/rared .wav file, 16 or preferably 24 bit or better 32 bit float bit rate and 44kHz sample rate.

Here are few tips if you are not familiar with computer recording:
If you're using instrument that has a line out (such as electro guitar) just plug the cable into "Line In" of your soundcard. Then make sure that you are able to record from the "Line In". Unless you are using a professional soundcard which disables windows volume controls, you can do it by going to <Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices->"Audio"tab->Volume->Options->Properties->Recording->and finally select "Line In" as a control>
Next thing you need to do is to install a wave editing program unless you don't have one already. My favorites are Steinberg Nuendo, Soundforge 8 (you can have a free trial for 30 days), Samplitude, Wavelab etc etc....

Please make sure your recording is as accurate as possible, it doesn't matter to me if you are a lil offtime bc I can fix it, just make sure you don't have overlaped notes, mistakes or such things.
Now I don't really care what speed you play but it's better if we all use 120 bpm (beats per minute). You may use metronome which comes with many wave editing applications to 120 bpm, in fact you should bc it's impossible to play at the same speed without a reference.

Genre: hmm.. I don't care about genre as long as you stay in A minor.

Strongly avoid digital clipping and leave a headroom of -6 db.

Just one more thing, please attach single instrument sample, no drums in the background no pads etc.. (leave that to me)

Who knows maybe it will become a new Plus! song, it all depends from you !

Very cool idea!.... Maybe I'll try it... I'll post later if I do sometime.

Yeah great, I like that idea!

I'll try to record something this afternoon

I started playing the guitar when I was younger, never kept it going though.
