Remembering "I Got You (Hemispheres Project)"

[CrazySchmidt]

Hi guys,

It's funny how time can pass by so quickly, it seems to me that a project I started with my good buddy Dan Wilson from Canada (and a member of this forum) a couple of years ago, has almost fallen into a distant memory for me.

A couple of weeks ago my surrogate niece (Fatboy Dazza's Daughter) was listening to my channel on SoundCloud and listened to the track "I Got You (Hemispheres Project)" and said:
"I heard whispers of this project in the man cave a few years ago, but never heard the whole thing. Really an amazing collaboration Schmidt. Can see this being played at a concert easy. Awesome work."

I thought the comment was nice of course, but when I actually went and had a good listen to it again, I realized just how good the collab on that song was. Considering it was the first collaboration I think either of us had done digitally online and I think it may have also been the first on this forum, I'm very proud of it and I hope Dan is also. It's not that easy working between different DAW's in different countries with different points of view.

So with all that being said, here's the original collaboration mixed/produced from my system (Ableton), Dan has his own version which was the original source that I worked from.

Dan, I just want to remind you that I really enjoyed working with you on this and I hope that at sometime in the future we can do it again.



Cheers, CS.

Hey CS,

Wow, its been a couple of years!!!

Thanks for sharing the comments by your "surrogate" niece. Had a listen to your mix of the song, another solid mix and the clarity on the drums was great. I could actually hear what I did

I really enjoyed the collaboration process but I will agree it is slow. looking back, I remember when we started there was about 2-3 hours of emails flying back and forth trying to solve the DAW compatibility issues. You think it would be easier (shaking my head). You would think that bar 1 should be bar 1 and 100 bpm should be 100 bpm. Once that issue was solved everything went smoothly. Every time I opened the file you sent over was like Christmas, I was excited to hear what you did/ added to the song.

You are right it was my first collaboration and very positive one.

Totally agree with you about another collaboration and I am looking forward to another one. The hard part is coming up with ideas that fit the Hemispheres project.

PS
To everyone else on the forum, I encourage you all to try a collaboration at least one. Who knows maybe a massive IK Band??? If needed, I volunteer to be the drummer

Yo CS,

I gotta say this is a pretty dope collaboration you guys put together! Kinda sounds like the Ramones mixed with AC/DC and KISS. It's anthemic! Also dig the tasty guitar solo

I can relate to DAWs not working during collaboration. It's like you have to have the same DAWs plus the right sample rate onset a file sharing program that doesn't compress WAVs (cough google drive cough) in order for it to work.

Anyways, great work dudes! Hope to hear more of the project!

(I'd also be down for a IK Band. I'll play the Sax )

It's sad that this project is not remembered by many people anymore, but for me, I will always remember it.

Hi CS, as Steave said mix Ramones Kiss ACDC. I'm not a Ramones fan, I'm Ramone (that's how far it goes ). So I really like the song. it is melodious and very nicely produced.
Cheers, waiting for new songs.

Thanks guys, what a wonderful reply.

That was definitely a cool collaboration, no doubt about it, I really enjoyed the process (mostly ).

I have been thinking about talking with Dan about a new collab this year, I need a cool and together drummer with good rhythm, Dans that guy, I just need to make sure we have some free time together, that's not always easy.

Anyway a year is plenty of time right?

Cheers, CS
