fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Anybody who wants to submit, send a link to a WAV file of the song to oddaustin@gmail.com, it will certainly go towards something, whether it's on the official release or internet only release will be determined around the time we put it all together.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I'm a newbie to the Archive, but would be proud to add a submission.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I'd be happy to submit one of ours... we're EXTREMELY lo-fi... I don't know if that's a problem or not. Also, we're, for the most part, raunchy and/or cringeworthy. If neither is a deal-breaker, count us in!

Yay! Another official submission, and as for AmIRight people, sure have 'em submit if you'd like, the more tracks the better.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Okay maybe Weird Al is beyond your reach but what about the other 2 people I mentioned or Barns & Barns.
And how about any of the fumpers ? Also remember if you don't ask you will never know what they will do ?
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d haha wow
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d If you wanna try that and think there's the slightest possibility that Weird Al would even reply, go ahead, sir, good luck.

Maybe we could contact Mylo Hatzenbuhler,Weird Al Yakovic or maybe Larry Wildman Fischer would like to contribute a tract ?

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I could let the people at AmIRight know, but in honesty they don't record in wav format either. . .so it'd only help the deluxe edition (I know this because I talk to most of them on a regular basis). . .I think what Austin wants are 9 more regular editions. . .I also can't guarantee anyone outside of maybe Jeff Reuben, who is also on this site on occasion would want to contribute. . .

Maybe other comedy musicians that don't know about themadmusicarchive.com would like to contribute ?
oddaustin:

Alright, now I have 3 submissions for the official release, and 3 for the deluxe only. Keep sendin' 'em in, people!
Again, if you're GOING to submit something, please also contact me (oddaustin@gmail.com) so I know what to expect.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d So... it's been a few months, and we've gotten 3... just 3 submissions. C'mon guys, please help support the archive and donate a song of yours, even if it's older (though new ones are encouraged) we'll take it, all we need is a WAV. We need at the very least 9 more to make a full album, so please help not only this project, but the Mad Music Archive and (because it's such a big part of it) the comedy music community in general.
-Austin
Email all songs to oddaustin@gmai.com with a link to a WAV, or if you wish to donate a song to the deluxe version only MP3s will be excepted for that.
Thanks to the 3 people who did donate so far, and thanks to every body who will donate in the future.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Converting from a WAV to a 320kbps MP3 shouldn't lose much quality. 320kbps is the sharpest an MP3 can get, and it's just about as sharp as a WAV due to the different encoding technique.
oddaustin:

I'm actually not the one burning these, Wayne is, I was just pretty sure that a 194 kbps MP3 file would be a noticable lack in quality from a 1411 kbps WAV file.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Like I said, I understand, I've always burnt using mp3s, not wavs, as that is what is online, and the sound quality is usually whatever it was before being burnt. . .but then again I've never been high on the sound quality end anyway--wav or mp3 my stuff probably wouldn't fit the bill for this on that end ("Below Average Dave" has released a number of recordings where the sound quality wasn't up to par with the average recording artists--hence my name, though some are noticeably better than others). . .but its there for awhile, I wont release it just in case you guys need/want it. I mean like I said, maybe there's some professional end thing I don't know about, my understanding with wavs was that over 90% of the wav format contains nothing, the mp3 basically compresses the size down without eliminating any actual content--but I'm not an expert on it, and I won't pretend to understand, I'm just sorry I don't have a way to contribute to you and Captain Wayne as I really do support this site, I hope this goes well, and if an mp3 won't work for the purposes you are aiming, I understand I just feel bad because I promised I would contribute back when the idea was pitched, and because of my sound card, I can't fulfill that promise as an unreleased mp3 is all I have. . .good luck Austin, seriously, I hope you get what you need, if you end up being able to use my new pending single, you are welcome to it, if not I don't take it personally--I know it isn't because you don't like my stuff or me personally--if it's wavs you must have, then that's fine, I just feel guilty that's all. . .

belowaveragedave:

It's 192 kbps, and I made a converted version but Austin said he can't use it because all I have was an mp3 and converting it to wav from mp3 would affect the sound quality. I always made my CDs using mp3s, and it automatically converts to wav and I didn't notice the difference, but maybe he uses some kind of professional grade burner--I don't know, I just wish I could help. . .
Dave AuJus:

BADave, WAV is just a type of audio format, so is MP3. You should be able to convert .mp3 to .wav format even without a sound card ( you might not be able to listen to it though). Austin just wants the highest quality format for the CD. If your .mp3 is higher than 190 kbps it should sound fine. Hope this helps.
belowaveragedave:
---
Sorry. . .for whatever reason you can't use MP3's, and until I have money for a soundcard, that's all I've got, I still haven't released that one yet. . .you told me the quality thing with WAV VS MP3, but I've never noticed it on my burner--good luck
oddaustin:
---
I forgot to mention, all artists who PLAN on recording something please email me at oddaustin@gmail.com and tell me so, also if possible say when you might have it done so I can start planning the track list ahead of time.
So far, we've had one submission, c'mon people, help Wayne out!!!

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Not at all.
The copyright would remain as the originator's original work. Having it on a CD just means it's been published and distributed with permission. This is not a matter of copyright as much as a matter of licensing. The artists would grant license to Mad Music Productions, LLC to distribute a 'mechanical' of the work. No part of copyright or licensing would otherwise change.

How would the gift CD change the copyright issues, if any?

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Sounds like a great idea, Cap'n!!
Captain Wayne:

I've been thinking about this - and want to put this out there...
What is this was a CD only (not a download) and came free to anyone donating $25 or more?
That would make it more of a collectors item. Something more like Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes. If we did one every year, then people could donate annually and get each disc.
Waddaya think?
Problems? Ideas?
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I think the donation thing is a good idea
I'm thinking perhaps we should apply this to the deluxe version only ($15-25 donation), that way it's a little more of an event for the CD release, and if we have a 16 track 10-15 dollar CD (Less then the donation based purchase), more people might be inclined to buy the printed copy since it's cheaper.
Also, if we just had the CD, then we wouldn't be able to use all the other entries submitted that would go on the deluxe package, which I think would be nice if we could.
But yes, having this be a yearly thing is an awesome idea.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Hey, people, for all other emails about this, could you use the words: "Fund Raiser" some where in the subject title so I can find them with one search of the Gmail Sorting Machine of Awesome?
Oh, and if you send an MP3 of song, and have no way of sending a WAV, we'll have to use it for the online deluxe release, unless it's the most amazing song ever. Sorry... we need the high qualitness for the official CD release.
Thanks to everybody who's shown interest and contacted me so far, and thanks to Badave who sent in our first (and so far) only actual song file, get those tracks comin' in folks!

|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d What about those of us who got permission from the companies who made the karaoke tracks used?
dino-mike:
---
And yes, Austin is correct about the parody law... but yes, they cannot be instrumentals made by the original band or a karaoke track.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I'll be donating for sure too!
And yes, Austin is correct about the parody law... but yes, they cannot be instrumentals made by the original band or a karaoke track. The music must be made 100% by the artist.
So come on guys, donate a track... and make it a good one!
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d If you say so.
But I do know this--when Filk albums have been put together, parodies have been avoided or cleared through an agency as an 'arrangement' of the original (in other words, paying for both words and music, not just music). Other Filkers have operated on the 'maybe I won't be noticed' basis.
Captain Wayne:
---
...
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Right, right, yes, thanks Wayne
|
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d You are correct Austin.
The exception is: If you use the music performed by the actual band you are parodying (or band other than your own), like a karaoke version, you have to get permission to distribute that musician's work. If you perform it yourself then you're okay.
oddaustin:
---
Most of us have released albums with parodies on them without permissions, so I think it'll be alright, due to some Supreme Court Case (I forgot the title exactly) it has made parody fair use, so no original artist needs to be contacted and royalties don't need to be paid.
Tim P. Ryan:
---
Are you going to track down owners of the originals to parody works to get them to give up the rights to royalites for this project.
To get this done in a timely manner, I would suggest only songs the artist has all rights to (not just words). Or a parody of someone in the community, but with at least email to back-up that permission (ie. Devo Spice parodies or raps-up a Power Salad original).
oddaustin:
---
This means that no royalties will be paid to the artists of the songs based on sales of this release ....

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Oh, yes, I would love to include some sort of artwork from you Kobi, as well as a song. I certainly wouldn't complain over a 4th Brutomax sketch.... or really any one of your awesome tracks.
I think we'll be having TV's Kyle do the cover, but maybe you could do the CD print, or back-cover, or an insert? Do whatever you think would suit the project.
Devo, absolutely we'd love to have you on the disc, a new song would be great, but if it's nearing the deadline and you don't have anything, we can certainly accept any other of your recently released awesome tracks.
I'm gonna change the deadline to mid-February, guys. Hopefully that'll give people enough time to submit something new, or recently released.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I'd love to contribute a song. Maybe artwork, too.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d For the record I really want to submit something to this, but I don't know that I'll have time to do a new recording. Gonna try, though.

|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I know we can all create one heck of a CD, I donated a song of mine that should be one of my bigger parodies to date. . .I will be doing a special show when my *new* show debuts next year that promotes the CD heavily to my listeners and my fans. . .I hope that this goes over big, let's rock this site!!!

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I hate when that happens! I almost gave up singing because of that.
If you don't like the sound of your voice you can always soften it with a little added reverb.

Yeah, that's kind of what I had in mind, right down to using Audacity. The trouble is all the microphones I buy are faulty, they make my voice sound too much like me. :)
Max DeGroot:

Once you *do* have a mic, download Audacity. Record the banjo first, then record your singing (use headphones so you can hear the banjo). Once both are recorded, then adjust the volumes so you get a good balance.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d There is no theme, this is simply a way to put together an awesome collection of music that showcases the talent of devoted artists of The Mad Music Archive, and most importantly a way to raise the funds nessesary to take part of the burden off of Wayne.
Wayne and I have decided that there will be two versions of this album. One will be the official release which will have printed copies made using a portion of the sumissions (Since we will likely be unable to fit them all on one disc). The other being an online only version using all submissions.
Any good artists/cartoonists who want to draw a cool cover and additional artwork for the compilation?
Luke Ski, Dino-Mike, TV's Kyle? Maybe a combination? Perhaps the three of you can each draw one picture to be used?

Have Wayne auction off a super low user ID. :)
I'd like to donate but my problem is access to recording equipment. I don't just not have a studio, I don't even have a microphone for my machine. (Plus it's hard to get a banjo in sync with a voice volume-wise when you only have one mic.)

I think I'll be extending the deadline to February-ish. Remember people a new song is recommended, but not required, so if you have an album track that maybe is a little less heard since you released it only with the album release, we'd love to hear those, and if you really want to submit a more known song of yours, send it along, we need every body's help! Support the Archive that helps support us all.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Alright, my last remaining back log song has been sent to the project
I don't have a WAV version of it, hope that's not a problem because I was going to release it just before the New Year . . . which is why it doesn't have a WAV format anymore, I deleted it a couple of weeks ago after converting the file
It's one of my biggest songs ever--a parody of Vanilla Ice's hit "Ice Ice Baby"--a song that fully deserved a beating. . .good luck

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Hello comedy musicians!
The Mad Music Archive is a web site that has been providing great resource and community for comedy musicians and comedy music fans for the past five years. The site was created and has been maintained by Captain Wayne Ross this whole time, based purely on his love for the genre of dementia/comedy.
Recently it has been becoming more and more difficult for the Captain to pay for the rather large site fees on his own (This includes ASCAP, SESAC, and BMI license fees). A few Archive members suggested that a fund raiser CD be put together to help raise money to help the Captain out with the site fees.
That is why with the approval of Wayne, I am sending out this message to all comedy artists. We ask if you might be interested in donating a song to this fund raiser album to help the world’s best comedy music website. Let's say as of now the deadline for songs is mid February, 2010. We will select ourselves the ones that will be featured.
To enter a song send the following to oddaustin@gmail.com:
-A link to a high quality WAV file of your recording
-The artist name and song title (Just in case it’s not obvious)
-It is strongly encouraged that the song be previously unreleased any where else
You also enter your song to be included in this fund raiser album with the full knowledge that all proceeds for the CD will be going directly to keeping the Mad Music Archive from shutting down. This means that no royalties will be paid to the artists of the songs based on sales of this release you should only enter your songs if you love this amazing comedy music promoting website, and don’t want to see it disappear.
We look forward to hearing from you; please don’t hesitate to email me with questions on the CD. Please help keep the madness alive!
-Austin
