All we can say is thank heavens for GarageBand, ichat (with Zoom H2) and idisk! With those fine tools, Didier and I are still able to work together on songs. Yeah!
I usually record a vocal track in GarageBand then pass it via idisk to Didier. He thinks about it for awhile.
Long ago I learned that it was kind of a waste of time for me to come up with cords because he always hears something much more amazing then the 12 cords I know 
We’ll work with it on ichat, but the problem is the sound only goes one way. So, while I’m singing I have to watch his hands for the cord change, stop for a sec and listen, then sing again. We use the Zoom H2 recorder to pick up his guitar parts so that when we say “hey that was a cool bit”, we can remember what we just did!
Then he messes around with the cords, sometime morphing the melody…sometimes too far. With one song I had to say “Woa, I’ve had this song in my head for two years. This is the melody I want.” But that doesn’t happen too often. Usually his tweakage is really interesting.
Anyway, back and forth…pausing…clipping…tweaking…lyric rewrites…guitar solos and then finally one day “hey, you know I really like this song.”
And there you have it. We’re looking at January to have the full length CD done with all the new songs.
A tasty treat indeed,
Jenn
