Return To The Pit compilation?[views:34345][posts:114]________________________________________________ [Feb 4,2006 9:39pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Remember New England Is Wicked Pissed? What if there was a RTTP comp? With live tracks from the show, and maybe live tracks FROM shows and such? or something? and mastered at a pro mastering studio? Who would get in on this? I was thinking part of the money from all sales could go to Aaron so he can keep the site, show, and pics going. thoughts? |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 4,2006 10:19pm - the_reverend ""] the driving force behind the last comp quit on the site after his gf found some bs he typed. this killed the idea of the second comp unfortunately. |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 1:19am - josh fucking hates you ""] my gf has been cool lately. there where some retards airing shit i did not need. but either way. I mostly got lazy cause i work 50 hours a week as opposed to being unemployed last time. and did have every intention of doing volume 2. i talked to several bands that where all down with volume 2. i did want to leave some space at the end for some live tracks from the radio show. last time there was no mastering cause there was no money for it, if people want to find ways to raise more money then that would be awesome. I still have $50 from my pretentious erection and a check from keenan of death without weeping for $50 that i never cashed and a cd/song from catalyst. Porphyria sacreligion throwing shrapnel hand choke neck for the worse are some bands that said they wanted to do it, i think i talked to other people i think mike from ftw was gonna ask colin from coa if they wanted to do it. rev might of had a special guest. I'm still down. Who wants to do the art? does that kid at hold true do mastering? get rates. last time we got the 1000 cds pressed and shipped for $1100. so add mastering to that. |

| _________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 1:38am - brian_dc ""] since we've changed our lineup and have shorter songs now, we would be into it...but if you don't want repeats of last time I respect that the we I speak of is Dour Cursiva |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 1:50am - anonymous ""] perils of reasoning will contribute again. we're recording at MWM in march |
| _________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 2:02am - brian_dc ""] ooooh, MwM...that's what we did...get it mastered at West West Side. That is my suggestion. |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 3:18am - Otto/BOL (NLI) ""] my band Burden of Liberty would definetly be all in for the second comp., we wanted to do the first but couldn't get the song back from the mastering in time. Bluntface Records would be willing to be a sponsor on the second disc as well. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 6:03am - Sinistas ""] I know you probably want different bands for the second one, but Dreaded Silence has a non-album track we might be interested in putting on... |
| __________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 9:35am - dyingmuse ""] shroud of bereavement has a short 4 1/2 minute edit that we made for a seperate comp that never got used. we would like to part of this. if there happens to be room left, just let one of us know. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 9:42am - brendannli ""] i never got my new england is wicked pissed. fucked up. |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 9:43am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I think the NEiWP comp vol 2 should still happen aside from this. I was thinking something similar in concept except: A) it gets sold. 1000 get made and 300 are dedicated to promotional copies for radio stations, giveaways, etc. B) more labels that have been helped by aaron and aaron's work could get on board. A double disc set split between a few labels comes to barely anything each. C) one disc could be all live tracks, focusing primarily and possibly exclusively on live perfomances on the RTTP radio show. The other would be studio tracks by bands. D) 20% of sales could go to Aaron's show. If it sells for $15-$20 from distros / bands (it IS a double disc set) that means 700 units x $15 = 10,500. 20% of this is $2,100, allowing 8,400 potentially to go to everyone else. These are up-in-the-air numbers I am throwing out for suggestion, but you get the idea. E) part of me really likes the idea of a 4 or 6 page booklet with this that has credits, an RTTP bio, etc etc This is all up to everyone's input, how much work each person is willing to put in... I was thinking something that focuses on RttP and what has come of it. |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 9:44am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] possibly more than a thousand run depending on funding and who wants to work on it. I would imagine if, when asked the right way and by the right people, Prosthetic, Metal Blade, Black Market, and other such labels -- that have thrived in part due to what Aaron has helped to create -- would want to get on board. |
| _______________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 10:02am - slowlypeelingtheflesh ""] thats a good idea im sure my friend howies band would be interesting in this |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 10:26am - Joe/NotCommon ""] If you are going to do a disc of live songs, I must insist Hellblock6 be included. |
| _________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 11:08am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] what if it were a live audio CD and a live DVD? that may even be more cost effective overall...I don't know how to author a DVD menu or commands or anything, though |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 11:36am - Otto_B.O.L. ""] the duel cd/dvd is a great idea, i think that would be huge hit. Like i said if this is really gonna happen you can count us (Burden of Liberty) and Bluntface in. we co-sponsored the first one w/Joe and Heavy Rotation, and it was fucking great. that disc represented NE metal so well, it's too bad there couldn't have been a bigger pressing of that first disc. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 11:45am - Sinistas ""] a huge hit? what? |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 11:49am - Otto_B.O.L. ""] Sinistas said:a huge hit? what? haha well maye not a huge hit as in sales or anything. what i meant was a huge hit w/the metal heads in New England, it would probbaly be big exposure for the bands on it. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 11:53am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I think a DVD wouldn't be the best idea. Who wants to sit in their living room watching bands they dont know play inside a radio station studio? I think a double disc is a cool idea, particularly with live songs from the show. |

| _______________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 12:02pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] How would a DVD of live shows have anything to do with RTTP though? If the idea is to promote what Aaron does then it still doesnt seem like a good idea to me. If you want a DVD of new england bands then it should be called something else. Of course thats just my opinion. |
| _________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 12:06pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I figure Aaron shoots live shows and a DVD of bands playing live would make sense I like watching bands I've never seen before on DVD, but futhermore footage from some of the bigger bands that have appeared on the show would get people interested I dunnow, I mean we can all come up with the idea. At the basic level I am hoping for a comp that have RttP live tracks and some studio tracks by bands, plus a booklet with info about the show and aaron's work. It's a good time for us to start giving back to someone who's given us a lot in terms of airplay, photos, a website, band pages, etc etc and just plain being a nice guy that shows up and goofs around. |

| _________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 12:43pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] for one CD in full color jewel cases, 3 colors on CD face, 12 page booklet, clear tray, shrink wrapped, and UPS it comes to 1840 before shipping and taxes. to make it a "dual disc" which is one side CD, one side DVD it comes to about double that. I wonder how much it is to do 2 CDs in the same case? these prices are from DiscMakers |
| _________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 12:45pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] it's 1690 for these hip looking "eco-wallets" 1590 if we don't get the "wafer seal" over the mouth http://www.discmakers.com/music/products/w101.asp I still can't find the price for a double disc, though |

Of course thats just my opinion. good point. what i was thinking was a cd of all the live audio tracks from RTTP performances, and the dvd live footage would be those same bands, so it would still have a RTTP theme. But a dvd might work better as a seperate entity from the CD |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 1:24pm - the_reverend ""] how would you get live footage for the bands that already played? |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 1:27pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I was thinking live footage period. Not from the RttP sets, that's impossible |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 1:31pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] PCX does CDRs |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 2:44pm - josh fucking hates you ""] nick, the double disc set you can get by special quote. that was the original idea for volume if you remember correctly. i checked diskmakers, dgrinc., superdups, wonderdrug and about 50 other places and the place the i went to http://www.builtbyicon.com/ was by far the best price and service anywhere even on the double disc. funny how this thread is starting to read exactly like the original NEIWP threads http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=15560 http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=15790 I would to have liked to make a bigger booklet too but at that time we rushed to get it done for the metalfest which I would not do again. Last time 600 copies where given away at the fest and all the bands got 10 copies and 100 or something went with dwyer to MDF and more, i think i still have 30 or 40 laying around. This time I think bands should get more like 30 copies and the rest go to promotion and maybe distribution channels. selling them for 15-20 is too high and unrealistic. 5-10 at the most. forget about profits and dividing percentages. worry about breaking even. i sent e-mails to prosthetic, black market, and metal blade. just didn't happen. I guess rev knows someone at metalblade and can get someone for the comp i don't know about full blown sponsorship. basicly you want this to be exactly what i wanted volume 1 to be but could not arrange in time. you could push forward with your rttp comp or help me with volume 2 and make the NEIWP series everything you and I picture in an "rttp" comp. either way the groundwork is already in place. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 2:55pm - the_reverend ""] I can get just about anything I want from MB and hence BMA if it were done the same way as the original. with $$$ and selling involved, I don't know. prosthtic is a tougher beast to crack. ej does most of the work there and he's always so busy. hence the guy pushing 70-100K log CDs |

| ________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2006 8:57pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] well part of what I was thinking was to get Aaron some money to keep doing this, make his life easier. Would exposure in general be a big help then, Rev? Cause then yeah, a free disc or disc sold to break even makes sense I guess. |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 6,2006 1:02am - SacreligionNLI ""] maybe a DVD would be a good idea, but not of live tracks of every song on the album. a couple live videos that are good and worth putting on, then a gallery of pics that aaron has taken and a giant list of local bands with their contact info and such |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 6,2006 1:24am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] dude a collection of some pictures Aaron was really proud of on a DVD would be a GREAT idea, I think. |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 12:47am - Josh_hates_you ""] i'll restate..............volume was supposed to be 2 discs. 40 bands said they wanted in. 23 bands came thru. to release 1000 double discs 1 studio + 1 live means about $2000 needs to be raised. that is 20 bands by $100 or 40 bands by $50. labels are not going to pay to produce a product to be sold for profit by some one else. it needs to be a promotional effort. and furthermore when is the last time you paid more than 5 bucks for a comp?.......never. samplers and comps are handed out for free all the time. there are a million ideas and ways to go with the project and they are all good. but all the ideas on how to make the comp are useless until the funding is figured out. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 9:52am - SacreligionNLI ""] $50 with 40 bands seems more than fair |

I'm hoping to raise Aaron some money to keep his work in shape. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 11:57am - Josh_hates_you ""] bands may sell their copies. they may donate towards aaron if they like. i cannot speak for aaron but i think he does this site cause he likes too and he has banners that help pay for the site not to mention being a computer engineer or whatever, i dont think he is starving by any means. 1000 promotional copies with the "rttp" brand on it is a pretty large donation towards the site as is. This time around i think the bands should get 30+ copies assuming it is only 20 bands by 1000 copies. leaving a few hundred for NEMF, MDF, DooM and Grind fest etc. This way the bands will have a majority of them and may sell them to get some of their money back. whoever puts it together should not profit off of everyone elses money. If one person or label where to pay for the whole thing then they should be able to sell it for profit just like a regular record release. |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 12:56pm - Josh_hates_you ""] there was no money raised for mastering. it was not mastered. sorry. thats what i keep saying, finances need to be arranged to pay for these great things. ie. bigger booklets, mastering and double discs are not going to pay for themselves. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 1:00pm - Josh_hates_you ""] we can, A. figure out a way to finace all these things. B. accept the limitations of what we can finance C. keep running in circles with ideas without solutions |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 3:11pm - adam_time ""] i think the biggest issue with the first comp was the sound quality. mastering is an important issue, but bands need to get a solid, good quality recording in so that mastering will even make a difference. if some of those tracks off the first comp were mastered, it wouldn't have mattered, some of the recdings would still sound like crap. there needs to be a submission/review/quality control process before anyone puts in money so the "unprofessional" recordings aren't something you just want to skip over. i don't say this as a "get rid of this band because they're terrible", i personally can't stand listening to a bad recording, and though i love almost every band on the first NEIWP comp, i listened to the cd for a week and forgot i even owned one after that. so before we start talking about putting a comp together, EVERYONE GO GET NEW RECORDINGS! if the recordings sound good from the start, mastering won't matter. Though I think a second edition is a good idea. the thought of a live rttp disc on the NEIWP comp is perfect. if it looked and sounded good, it could sell for 5-10 bucks easy... all we need to do is include RTTP bumper stickers in the package. think about it... New England is Wicked Pissed, Volume 2, Return to the Pit Edition. I'd toss in another 50 to put a track on there, maybe 75 if my band (WTF) got 30 copies. hell, i'll do art for free. paint, print, pencil, ink, computer design, whatever. i didn't go to school for nothin. |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 6:13pm - SacreligionNLI ""] we, as should everyone, have no problem throwing down like $100 to make this come out awesome also, new alliance will be back in business next week(we just mastered there and he said they were building their new place between the 10th and the 20th |
| _______________________________ [Feb 12,2006 6:18pm - eddie ""] it's too bad josh can't take control of this mess this time. You really need somebody whose more realistic than idealistic. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 6:21pm - SacreligionNLI ""] but it's not that difficult of a thing to do...we just need all the bands involved to buck up and make their donations to the cause how about every band who wants in let it be known so we can get a complete list of who's interested |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 12,2006 9:19pm - Otto_B.O.L. ""] burden of liberty is totally down, like i stated before. i think $50-70 per band is very cheap to be on a comp. cd that comes fully packaged. |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 13,2006 6:00pm - Josh_hates_you ""] 30 bands @ $75 each = $2250 plus money from sponsors would not hurt either. One standard 2 disc case, 2 discs with 3 color printing, 6-8 page full color foldout or booklet, assembled, wrapped + shipping for 1000 copies = roughly $2000 mastering = $300+ 25 copies to each band. 250 leftover for shows, fests, radio stations etc. these numbers come close to working. 40 bands @$50 or 20 bands by $100 comes up short for mastering. 30 bands would take up about a disc and a half leaving half disc or so for live tracks from the show. Porphyria sacreligion throwing shrapnel hand choke neck Burden of liberty IWEIPH Within The Fray ATNFAC Shroud od Bereavement One of Troll's bands contagion dour cursiva hardtimes are some bands that have posted interest. goratory teratism w/new drummer, new recording LAZ mucopus accursed smite the righteous I, destroyer feed us fetus and whoever the reverend wanted to secure from them labels he spoke of, are some bands i would like to see on plus many more. plus im wicked glad adam time said something about the recording quality. he is dead on in that post. with no deadline that should hopefully not be an issue. |

| _________________________________________________ [Feb 13,2006 6:13pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] we want in on the live disc. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 15,2006 9:42pm - Josh_hates_you ""] the_taste_of_cigarettes said:we want in on the live disc. I was under the impression that aaron might choose the live portion being his site, radio show, recordings from the studio. unless by live disc you just mean live stuff in general. |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 11:39pm - SacreligionNLI ""] i'll just go ahead and confirm us on that one for whenever it's set to go...is there going to be a maximum length the song can be? |
| __________________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 11:47pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] it should happen in time for the metal fest. that would be ideal again., |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 23,2006 11:54pm - SacreligionNLI ""] getting them out for that would be optimal but i believe the idea was to take the time to make sure it comes out incredible |
| __________________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 12:13am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] true dat |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 12:15am - Josh_hates_you ""] putting it together in 3 weeks again? no thanks. I don't know if it was really that beneficial to do it super quick in time for the fest. We did (and by we I mean Rich from Lost Disciple Records) get 600 copies distributed at the metalfest and I don't know how much exposure it actually got people. More copies to the bands to hand out in a more personal atmosphere might be better. is it gonna be NEIWP V2? or RTTP comp? who is directing the fiasco? funding? Do we really wanna push for 2 discs or can we settle (yes we settled for time last time around) for one like last time? Is the departed guy or dreaming in exile doing the art/layout? Mastering by who? making decisions sucks. |
| __________________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 12:44am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] my main focus is I want a compilation of live stuff from RttP. we had a great set on that and so did a lot of other bands, and it's worth doing up a comp of all this diverse underground (sometimes above ground) music. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 12:47am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Unless Aaron is somehow more involved this time around, I am not going to get involved with it. I feel that allowing whatever band who comes up with the $$ the fastest is not really a good way to have a compilation that represents 'the scene'. The cover should be RTTP graphics, taken directly from the site...the layout should be similiar to the site and Aaron should be directly involved with everything minus the cost of putting it out. If you guys are going the same route the first compilation did, then it shouldn't be associated with RTTP because that doesn't make sense. If it's blatantly obvious it's from RTTP then more people will pay attention to it. I would bet money there are alot of people coming to this site who are not active on the message board, either because they don't care or are frightened off that everyone knows everyone else but them. Last year, as a sponsor, I felt my money went to promoting bands I could give a fuck about and it didn't help my label at all. I doubt very much it raised any new awarness of this website either, which to me as a promoter and as a label would be very helpful. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 1:02am - BornSoVile ""] Yeah Rev should definately pick the bands instead of pay to play shit. I feel the same as Joe, good post. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 7:04am - Josh_hates_you ""] Understood. But then how does it get paid for since Aaron is not financing it? It would be ideal if one person paid for it and then sold enough to break even or even turn a profit. Then said person would have total creative control and be able to choose bands as they see fit. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 10:03am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Aaron should say which bands he wants, then those bands should pay for their track still. If they aren't interested Aaron can ask a different band to take their spot. If Aaron is responsible for selecting bands, then the CD will have a wide variety (judging by the playlists of his radio show) and would definately raise my interest in being involved in whatever way. The last comp had decent artwork, but it didn't remind me of RTTP at all. The cover should maybe be the background of this site with the bone and faded blue color and the RTTP logo behind it. |

The background is pixellated enough on the web, if you used it for print you probably couldn't even make anything out. The layout for the last comp was more professional looking than expected and I'm glad it didn't incorporate graphics directly from the site. Dumb idea. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 10:29am - RustedAngel ""] yeah, let's put 72dpi graphics on a 300dpi layout, it will l00k sw33t d00d! |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 24,2006 10:36am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I've been making cd layouts for 6 years, I know how it works little girl. I figured Aaron had a hi res version because he always has everything. Either way, if it's not directly tied to RTTP, but just uses it's name but consists of first come paying bands then I am not interested in being involved. I am sure it doesn't matter but Heavy Rotation doesn't exist anymore which leaves only BluntFace records as a sponsor. I don't recall anyone else stepping up last year. |
