I would LOVE to collaborate on this, but here's my issue - I play a cajon, which is essentially a wooden box, with absolutely zero digital qualities whatsoever. I wouldn't even know how to begin contributing to this.

They have these new things now, they're really great, they're called microphones. You can place them several feet away from your wooden box and they'll pick up the sound vibrations, and send them to a computer. In the computer they're magically transformed to a digital wave, which you can then manipulate. It's the future!

I don't have a microphone, let alone a quality one that would allow me to insert a track into the song without an obvious difference in sound quality. Dick. Suddenly I don't really have an interest in providing anything to this. Thanks for the red flag.

Dude, my apologies, sincerely. I know you know what a microphone is and digital recording. It was meant as a joke. If it made you upset enough to call me a dick, then I need to re-examine how I'm writing things. Sincerely, sorry about that. Last thing I want to do is be spreading negativity.

Had we been belly to belly and I said that, you would have laughed with me. Sorry it didn't come across that way.
