how do you adjust the buffer , I have small latency issues just overdubbing stuff , though I understand the latest generation focusright kit does a great job of reducing this ,

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1475431274' post='3145861'] I'm struggling to get my teeth into this. Never mind; chin up and crack on, eh..? [/quote] Aye, socket to them Dad !

I thought Nazca lines were the ways that they went around the track, keeping close to apex while slipstreaming each other I'll get my coat ......

[color=#A52A2A][font=tahoma, geneva, sans-serif][size=6]October's Composition Challenge starts Here........ Hooray [/size][/font][/color] After a deserved [size=3][size=4]win by Mornats in Septembers comp, he has kindly offered up this great picture for your inspiration this month [/size][/size] In the words of Mornats himself.... "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So here's my pic. It's October, and that means Hallowe'en. So even though it's on a similar feel to last month I think there could be a more humorous element to this one - just check out the expression on his "face"! The pic is one that I took in Peru several years ago and is of a 500+ year old Inca mummy that was placed in an open grave at Nazca. They're all just sitting there in holes in the ground. There's very little erosion around there (hence how the Nazca lines have survived) and they look rather fresh and still have hair.

[quote name='bassinvader36' timestamp='1475325229' post='3145048'] so wheres the new pic? [/quote] I guess its with Skol , I'll see if I can help out here if he is a bit busy

Bloody hell Dad , you get to stay up at least one night a month then ;-) Well done Mr Mornats sir a quality presentation , well deserved . Many thanks to those that suffered lurksalittles screams and even more to those that showed their appreciation for the lurks family endeavours

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1475006432' post='3142302'] Well, that had to be the highest scoring round of them all so far! (I rate each track out of 10 to try and find 3 winners.) Some great tunes here everyone [/quote] I do that as well , and even then have to use half points to differentiate

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1474712844' post='3139991'] Blimey! The quality gets better every month. [/quote] some great pieces in there , a hard choice again but I have voted , well done to all

I was about to post earlier that you had been quiet this month , still , I guess being busy elsewhere is on the excuse list somewhere Look forward to the share though

Mine is up now , I didnt go for a wordy lyric but tried to use some sound samples to tell the story , the daughters idea to be honest , but I think it fills the space a lot better than any of my singing would do https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/black-and-blue

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1474134618' post='3135884'] [url="http://soundiron.com/collections/choirs/products/elvish-choir"]http://soundiron.com...ts/elvish-choir[/url] [/quote] Maybe not quite dark enough for me , though the pitch could be about right

I have the bones down now , but I think it needs some vocalisation slapped all over it now , this should be fun

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1473400384' post='3129756'] I'm only now, shaking off your entry from last month. [/quote]

I have got a guitar effects VST and I'm gonna use it ! I have more guitar and bass effects, amps and knobs to twiddle that I know what to do with , but hey, expect some, loudly, this month

[quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1472910625' post='3125287'] When does voting stop ? [/quote] Normally 7 days , so as it went up on the 1st , Wednesday midnight would be the deadline

After our annual August layoff we had a great gig last night night for a private party in a pub in town , it was in an upstairs function room and we were recommended by the landlord, It was a touch bizarre as there was a band downstairs aswell , upstairs, the party had opened the windows so when you looked out you could see the street rocking and the first floor bar in the hotel across the road had its windows open and they were shouting requests and rocking out aswell !! We have been invited 'darn sarf' to do a party 'at a large house in the country' but we'll wait till they sober up on that one, still we are back at the pub in a fortnight to resume our duties for the punters downstairs , can't wait

[color=#ff0000][size=6]Voting time is here [/size][/color] While It is traditional for the voting to allow up to 3 votes , the entries are a touch thin on the ground this month. The option is there to cast three votes but you can all use your judgement as to whether you feel you need to use them all. Hopefully after the Holiday season the entries will pick up a touch so have a listen to these beauties and cast your vote(s) MoonBassAlpha [u][url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/5umpnm5bry248m7/August%20noodle.mp3?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox....noodle.mp3?dl=0[/url][/u] alternative for MoonBassAlpha https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/august-noodle Agwin [url="https://soundcloud.com/agwin/nil-by-mouth-exerpt"]https://soundcloud.c...by-mouth-exerpt[/url] timhiggins [url="https://soundcloud.com/timothy-terrence-higgins-iv/noodled-haze"]https://soundcloud.c...iv/noodled-haze[/url] Twincam [url="https://soundcloud.com/user-531446910/noodle-no8"]https://soundcloud.c...6910/noodle-no8[/url] Dad3353 [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/bc-noodle-2016-08"]https://soundcloud.c...-noodle-2016-08[/url]

Excellent work gents both well deserved winners on their own As due reward can you choose your picture(s) for our Septembers inspiration and send me the link or Jpeg . You can do seperate ones, or confer to choose a picture between you . Skol Is away in deepest darkest Wales and is internet free by all counts so I am doing the honours for next month. I will set up the thread when I get back from work this evening all being well. Congratulations again

As Skol is away I will do the honours of the voting thread tommorrow for him so it will be shortly time time for Augusts last orders at the noodle bar

This month has shown a fantastic insight to the inspiration drawn from the picture , from massive inclusivity in a social sense, isolation in a personal sense and some superb contemplative overviews , it has produced the whole gamut ,from fun and frivolous to serious soundtracks and a few in between , quality absolute.
