We played a regular haunt last night , it was ok , but it took a while before they warmed up , it was a lot quieter than we expected , and according to a few around many other pubs were quiet too. we played reasonably but seemed oddly out of touch with each other , mainly singer and guitar maybe , but simple arrangements got mistakes on them , strange !! Still a break till mid January might allow a bit of time to re-focus happy Christmas all

The judges are the BC massive , and if you can work out how they will interpret the voting criteria then go for it with either of your choices , as long as it is a cover I might have missed overiding genre interest of forum , but I'm hoping to influence the vote with humour and cuteness

That is a beautifully simple layout , superb

I'm a reaper man , it was recommended to me by 51mOn , and after a few kicks in the right direction I am on the right path , and I was a total DAW virgin till around 4 years ago 😳 ......... Some might say they can't tell the difference after 4 years 😂

I'm not sharing mine from last year

2 that we find work well that are a bit left field video killed the radio star - presidents of the USA version does your mother know -Abba both drive well and get everyone singing along

Sounds awesome , though I dont know what it is

Thats really quite cool , I enjoyed that

OK the feedback was fine , so I can offer up for you ..... Wheels (OTB) from the family Lurks If I listen critically there are still plenty of the production that could do with more expert a touch than I can offer, but overall the effect is what we had hoped for Please enjoy Happy Christmas to you all I can get back to organising ours now

I have got 3 generations of vocal on mine, lurksalittle loves it so far and I nearly whizzed myself on the first family run through . I am waiting on some detailed feedback from my lad as he is more familiar with the genre, and as he 'sang' it , I think it fair. Ed to add , I've been given 1 suggestion which is worth following up on , so I'll do that in the morning and get the thing published , I can start Christmas after that

I'm with Dad here, I reckon there are any number of superb songs being written and performed by thousands of people all the time , the fact that they don't get massive exposure doesn't mean the songs are no better than the greats in any way. Listen to some massive hits and they can be populist crap written, produced and promoted with the desire to fill the purses of those involved before the quality of the song. I realise that music is a business and is just as much a money go round as any other business , but that doesn't mean that some of the also rans cant write some beautiful stuff

I've done that before, using an instrument to follow a melody , but I even struggle getting that in tune

Holy schmoley!!!

I realise that google is mahoosive , but how can it search a server more effectively than the site that is hosted on it ?

Not for me my only thought was that a real human voice would offer more sympathy to what is a lovely story

In a similar vein I have recorded a vocal for this month. My lad is coming round on Saturday morning to collect the grandson who we have over on a Friday night, we have a 60minute window to get them to put a couple of tracks down . If that works I can remove my vocal and offer a festive treat for your ears

Spot on I always thought my voice sounded awful, but then the 3 times I've won the vote have all been with my vocal on them* * But then so have another 40 of my entries that got no votes

Is that 'in' or above ? A great take , I enjoyed that , well played sir ?

Sounds good to me . Listening on a Bluetooth speaker it comes over very well ?

Very nice Dad , a sung vocal would have made it , but touching all the same ?

Kraptonite it would work for a few bands I've seen !

Not exactly changed my world at the time , but certainly let me know I wasn't alone in it , which helps sometimes billy bragg , a New England

As a performer of original work most months , I do think that covering other people's songs can offer an opportunity to be creative . This might also be a good time to offer a reminder that this month in the recording forum , the challenge is not for an original , but a cover, let's be honest , all you have do is something like this

I own the van, the PA, the lights , book a lot of gigs and all the rehearsal time, provide some wit and the repartee , but mostly I really hold back my desire to add BV's , the atmosphere changes significantly if I turn up with a mic and stand ?

Just when I need to be creative the computer decides otherwise ☹️ Something is fishy , fir the first time I have latency in only 1 project and while adding some vocal the project crashed , again first time ever !! I fear hours of investigation ....
