Specify any genre, other ideas, and when you tend to work on your music. Post your level of experience and what level of experience you're looking to collab with. Post any other details you think are relevant. You don't have to be using the same DAW as the people you collaborate with, unless you specifically want to!
Here is what an example post could look like, but the format here is fairly open-ended:
Hi, I'm an intermediate-level producer with a background in chill-glitch-hop hardstyle fusion. I'm open to ideas, but I was thinking I'd like to collab on a deep house cover of an 80s soft rock song. I usually have time on Thu-Sun evening to discuss or work on music (my timezone is GMT+7). PM me if you're interested!
For reference, here are some loose rules of thumb for levels of experience:
- Beginner: Still sorting out compression from reverb.
- Intermediate: Still working on skills in some areas of production. You've got tracks that you're proud of.
- Advanced: Released something on a label, or could see yourself shopping your music around for labels soon.
- Pro: You've been regularly paid to produce for a non-trivial period of time.
Feel free to specify how many people you're looking for, but be careful of having too many cooks in the kitchen. All contact details and file transfers should be set up via PM (that is, don't post email addresses, dropboxes, etc. in this thread!). Please update your thread once you're done searching for collaborators. Let the mods know if this format works, or if you have any suggestions. And finally, have fun!
