#Appendix 2

On collaboration.

Make a google drive folder you can send links to or share with friends. Include tabs that and lyrics that pair with the tracks. Export songs to MP3s and used compressed folders when sending "stems" (the individual wav files that get exported from your DAW).

Drive runs out of space fast with WAV files. Delete after they've downloaded. The drive music player is horrible.

Even if you're good at playing by ear, tab things out.

If you're using weird techniques. Consider getting a webcam and uploading unlisted playthroughs to youtube so you can go back and watch yourself play each section. This will also get you familiar with the upload process and you can send the tutorials to your collaborators later on.

Consider making a private discord server where you and people you expect to collab with can share ideas and coordinate meetings/band practice.

There's a program called Blackhole you can use to hook output from some DAWs. This lets you play through stuff in video chats. That may not be necessary, but if you ever need to know.... etc.
