Musicians end up recording substandard tracks for their albums for the simple reason that they haven’t got the time to come up with some better songs themselves. If you could ask your favorite musician why on Earth did he included a plain poor song or a pointless cover then he’d tell you an elaborate story of wanting to try something different, or something like that. Yet, he’s to first to reckon that the song you’re questioning him about is absolutely out of place. He wouldn’t admit as much when asked. But he knows it. And (in lots of cases) regrets having had to include it on what would otherwise have been a really solid record.
Is this situation what RecordTogether.com aims to fix. This site lets any recording artist crowdsource individual tracks, to be included on his finished album. If you’re a recording artist, you can create a request and have it placed on the site for these worldwide musicians that feel they’re up for the challenge to get in touch.
These requests involve mostly instrumental contributions to any song of yours. You can create a bounty amount (in American $), and session musicians can then upload their parts to these songs you want to make better. The one who submits exactly what you want is the one who gets the money.
A service like this one is wonderful in the sense that it lets you have people from faraway countries playing their native instruments, right for you to use. Using a keyboard or a computer to create an Appalachian flute only goes so far. Well, a site like this is letting you give your music the most authentic feel of all.
