eSessions
Part of the idea I had for this site when I created it was to give me enough space to record bass tracks for folks from files they sent electronically and post them for FTP. I’ve done this a couple times with decent results, but I’m also noticing that services are popping up that handle this kind of thing, too. To wit, I’ve signed up on eSessions to see what’s doing over there. Basically, they act as a middleman to connect those organizing recordings and the players. There’s a little real-time collaboration, but most of it is based off of taking the files and recording them at your own facilities on your schedule. Which is pretty damn handy, ’cause it gives you easier access to players like Tony Levin.
It also means that, at least theoretically, I’m up for gigs against Tony Levin, and I know who wins that battle every frickin’ time.
But if you’re looking for cheaper tracks from somebody slightly lower on the low end’s evolutionary scale, lemme know.
