Dad is nearly always first to finish his composition, so he's pulling our legs with a post 10 minutes after I set up this month's challenge. Although to be honest, I [i]did[/i] on click it half-expecting him to have finished something already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size] [size=4]... although I can, if I choose, edit the post later with a [i]real [/i]link and claim to be faster than Wyatt Earp..![/size] [size=4]In truth, despite having updated all of my usual visual inputs (avatar, screen background etc...), I am still in cogitation mode. This involves struggling to find a theme, or having several from which I am unable to choose, along with fruitless trials using various tools (BIAB, LooperMan, GP6...) looking for a baseline (no, that's 'base', not 'bass'; I'm a drummer, remember..?). There is, in this process, a certain element of serendipity, the control of which, unfortunately, I have not yet the key. Once the ball starts to roll, there is a momentum which (here a pause, to touch wood; pats forehead...) results in a speedy execution and finalisation. The complement to momentum is inertia; that's where I'm stuck right now. 'Twill come, I'm sure; I'll be able to lay an egg at least as golden as that for the October challenge. I've just got to find a cure for inspirational constipation. [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Been off today so I've laid down bass, drums and keys. Not only that but I've also written lyrics. Unfortunately my singing is so bad it'll take a month just to do sufficient retakes and to plaster over the bum notes'n'stuff with reverb and backwards noises to disguise the awfulness of it... Perhaps I should stick with instrumental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 After quite some research, and not a little midnight oil, I finally managed to fix the broken link in my previous post (... can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/248605-november-composition-challenge-get-recording/page__view__findpost__p__2596080"]here...[/url] ).

DogHammer Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Been following the composition challenge for a while now. Just bought myself a focusrite interface. May use this a an incentive to learn ropes. So there may be an entry from me later in the month. See how I get on with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
