Yeah, make sure that all of you are making the same thing, and that it fits. If you're the musically creative one, and the other members are either less creative/ just there to play your music then you're going to run into problems. As shite and corny as it sounds, you've got to be able to write music to be in a band, not just play an instrument with skill. Although this is non-chip, my band and I all have a lot of music in common, mostly punk stuff, which is what we try and write. It helps if you have more than one thing going on, don't get stuck in a JUST band rut. I write chip as well as work with the band, and because I'm not just doing one or the other, it means that I have different ideas, and can bring more to the table so to speak. If you're looking to write music for every instrument, then you're probably not going to have a good time, and you need to be able to make compromises. Don't control what other people do, and make sure you're familiar with the other isntruments in the band. I play bass, but I can keep a basic rhythm on drums, and play a few chords. I'm not sure if you're planning on adding vocals, but I find it difficult working with the singer, mostly because I can't sing that well, if you can then it's going to be a damn site easier. Also make sure you have a good drummer, incorrect timings are a lot harder to deal with when you have X bit of electronic kit with a perfect speed.
