im just wondering if anyone have ever made a complete album all in one project file? like the classic LSG albums seems to be. Im planning on doing it soon but I wonder if it could end up being a CPU and RAM killer to have like 50-100ch in a project (not playing simultaneous of course). im planning on doing it in logic and i dont know how it works there, if all the stuff is put in memory or if the only thing matter is what plays at the same time. thoughts?

A friend of mine talked about doing it in Cubase and his pc wasn't too happy with it . At a certain point you're just working on avoiding the system limitations hehe.

I made Superstition in two stages. One in one Reason project file I then imported stem-tracks to one SONAR file for additional instrumentation and mixing.

You can do it just by rendering the tracks and composing each new one against the render of the one preceding it. You don't need to have all the synths and effects open at once...

doing this was some kind of unattainable fantasy only 10 years ago. I think your best bet is just bouncing the finished tracks and compiling them all in a different project

Absolutely feasible but I'd count on 300 tracks. Once done with them you just render some parts to audio.

I made that 4 years ago, all into one project file in ableton live. That album is called solarized.

maybe a noob comment but... what are the benefits of making the whole album in a single project file instead of separate ones?

i just want to make a continius album where the songs are glued together. almost like a dj mix only without flaws. my inspiration is LSG - Black Album and the Unreleased Album. THen when finished i could just mute different tracks and export singles from there.

IMO,

in example a track, that ends into an effect, which acts as an opening effect for the next track / same atmosphere from track to track. It's hard to do in separate files. I see this as a key thing in making it an album instead of a collection of separate tracks. Taking the musical consistency of the tracks for granted of course..

No level changes etc. overall quality is the same throughout the album.

Might try it for 3-4 tracks.

thats a good idea JEO, i could make three four tracks in one project and end up with lets say 3 25min projects or something, and then combine those 3 as wav. good fucking idea - it might actually be better than a fullrunner. see i now got something out of TA, its a great place.

under what alias? i tried search on spotify but didnt find.

FYI it seems Logic pro cant bounce down bigger files than 2GB.
