Skol303 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Sounds like we're all having a busy time this month! "As mad as March hares", etc. Still, there's time yet to rustle something up Quote
bobbass4k Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Should have mine finished soon, it's essentially just a lot of riffs glued together, but I think it works. Quote
RockfordStone Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 ive got a lot on this month, so may not get an entry in i'm afraid Quote

Bilbo Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Very little traffic on here this month. I may win by default!! Quote
charic Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 I'm prepping for a gig on Friday only had two practices with the band so far so could be a nail biter! Quote
urb Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I'd love to do something but it's been a busy time for me (plus I've been getting my rocks off with my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202496-some-banging-live-latin-jazz-from-my-new-band-hdmulti-cam-video/"]jazzy-latin-fusion band [/url]- although I have Live 9 now and I'm dying to make a track with that ASAP - just need a couple of hours on the weekend... I will try and do something, honest Quote

I've been hearing good things about Ableton 9, be interested to hear how you get on with using it (the new controller thingy looks very useful for live performance - although a bit pricey in my opinion).

Dave Vader Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I may enter something I have hummed into a phone.... Quote

I won't reveal it here but if you're interested then drop me a PM Quote
Skol303 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 PS: when's the deadline for entries this month? Sunday 24th / Monday 25th? Quote

I'd best get mine finished before then, as I'm out for birthday drinkies on Saturday and am likely to be a little too sore headed for mixing the next day (I rarely drink these days, so a few shandies and I'm going to be on the table singing 'My Way', or something... ).

Skol303 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Here's mine for this month: https://soundcloud.com/skollob/all-your-bass-are-belong-to-us The first part is all 8-bit sounds that I emulated using an analogue-style virtual synth. I wanted to try recreating the sort of music I used to enjoy as a kid during the so-called 'Golden Age' of video games (late 70s-mid 80s): the sounds of ye olde Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, etc. …then I cheated during the latter part and broke out the usual arsenal of modern-day sounds. Couldn't resist, sorry It's very repetitive and cheesy. But all done in the interest of nostalgia, of course. 'Least that's my excuse. PS: the title comes from a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us"]popular internet meme[/url] (< link for those fortunate enough to be less geeky than I am). Quote
lurksalot Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I have fallen into a bad trap that I have made for myself , I have written and mostly recorded................ a song , the daughters vocal doesn't really fit , and mine is totally sh1te , so I am trying some last ditch salvage solutions. I am really struck by how much is involved in doing this sort of stuff , it has given me a whole new appreciation of composition, recording and musical presentation . Quote
