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 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. |

I know that if we participate we do not want our return to the pit live stuff on the cd. |

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. |

| ___________________________ [Jul 2,2007 5:41pm - B ""] The real question is how much free time does this guy have to go back to a thread posted in feb. lol although this could be a good idea if the right local bands got on it. |
