This is a very specialist area from what I can gather , to the point that I wouldn’t be surprised to see a ‘Harry Potter and the Auditory Minefield’ as the next chapter delving deeply into the dark arts involved, followed in the series by ‘Harry Potter and the Plasterer’s Apprentice’ in seriousness I think you can get a software / microphone package that can assess your room , and you can play with the set up and actually measure it so you can pick the best layout , but I would guess a good start would be the manufactures suggestions. @Skol303 is the guru on this, he can point you in the right direction with his sonic wand

I did it already ! it wasn’t a remake just some subtly added bits , it didn’t really need a fanfare I just changed the file on the same link

I’ve been messing with mine , does it need anything else in it , not really , but that’s never stopped me before I’ll chop it in tomorrow I think !

I reckon that is a complete ‘suck it and see’ type experiment setting that room up . It looks like a roof space, so for one if you are recording you will pick up the weather/wind/rain noise fairly easily. If the walls and floors aren’t solid you may pick up any neighbours as well . Apart from making those allowances , the noise will travel out to your neighbours as well ! May be also some hard hats for those at the thin end 😉

I got something together , but i did find this a struggle, I have done a nod to this fact in there somewhere , but hands up on this , bashing about on a drum machine and overdubbing various percussion elements is all that I could dream up! the link to the picture is tenuous but findable Stung , enjoy

I won’t listen to any just yet, I’m sure something will crop up, just hope it’s before the 24th !

Fair play , you’ve all been very busy already. I’ve done plenty of noodling, thrashing and tinkling, but can’t find a direction to push them in yet😕

Swords of a thousand men , Tenpole Tudor A stomping 2 minuter that really does bring the house down

I thank you , I’m here all week

WTAF I’ve got nearly 80 tracks on soundcloud and I’ve not had anyone asking for money to promote them . maybe they do actually listen to mine

I don't listen to any of them before I've got mine pretty much done, however it sounds very much like @Dad3353 photo has left an open goal for @Leonard Smalls

Blinkin heck you've been busy

Don’t waste my time !

Woo hoo @Dad3353 well done , I suggested very early on that you had set a very high bar , excellent work sir , you know the drill

Well played As upside downer notes, the deadline is part of the brief , but September challenge will conclude tonight , and October will be live imminently . pop over to the vote thread and pop a few ticks in the boxes and we’ll all be waiting for your next one 😎

+1 I’ll Include your good self in that sentiment

That’s sounds very positive buddy

Our guitarist was habitually late, but it wasn’t really an issue on gigs as it meant we had more room onstage to set up, he’d just get in the way and start sticking his oar in regarding the layout etc , so it suited

I've done my customary end of thread listen through , and I reckon you guys have excelled yourselves fair play , a superb selection
