Get busy [/quote] Was working on some final details last night. Just need to do a couple more things, then get everything balanced nicely and that should be it! Quote

There's me ringing the bell for last orders, when I still have [i]lots[/i] to do on mine... Been too busy with the composition competition (and life in general) and have let this slip. Never mind. I've got enough time tonight to finish what I've started and make a half-decent job of it. Happy to say that the standard of mixes already received has been great. Well done everyone! Quote

[/quote] I'm just having a listen to mine now to make sure it all sounds OK. Wish I had something respectable to listen to it on, but it sounds pretty good on the laptop speakers, so that must be a good sign! I think I'll just upload it as is. I've done plenty to it, I think, and making it sound better at this point is beyond my capabilities I think Quote

That's usually a good sign of knowing it's time to abandon it! Quote
Twigman Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 sorry chaps I just didn't get this finished this month Quote
MiltyG565 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I've got mine in. Can't wait to here everyone's mixes Twig, are you far off being finished? Quote
Twigman Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373924789' post='2143354'] Twig, are you far off being finished? [/quote] Yep I got 60% through the drum replacement - still got the toms to do....but I'm never going to do it. I used Audiosnap in Sonar to get the midi timing for all the drum hits, was identifying which hit was which manually and allocating it to the appropriate drum in my kit.....it was a very long tedious process which I am not going to finish. I had replaced the kicks and the snares and the hats, just really had the toms to do.... Quote

Skol303 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Ok, that's mine done and now I'm off to catch some zzz's... A shamefully hasty effort from me this time round, but no matter! 'Twas fun. Some great entries this month - everyone seems to progressing in leaps and bounds, so well done all. Voting will up tomorrow or Wednesday. If anyone is still slogging at it then don't worry - I won't be uploading anything until tomorrow night (so it's not quite 'last orders', more of a cheeky lock in ). Quote

Skol303 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Currently uploading everyone's mixes... I'll update the thread once everything is set up for the voting, which will be starting tonight. Watch this space. Or go do something less boring instead. Quote

Jeez... it's like a textbook definition of tedious. Watching blue bars slowly creep their way across the screen. One after the other. Relentless. Punishing. For all eternity.

[PS: I have a newly-found love of MP3s and their dinky file sizes...] [/quote] Last month, there was no issue for me, because I had accidentally uploaded it in MP3 format, with an extra couple of minutes of extra silence at the end (for good luck, obviously), and it took a few minutes. This month, having learned how to make it a WAV file format, it took me about 10 tries to get it uploaded, some taking 40 minutes, before it freezing at the last 3%! I really feel for you if it's anything like that, but considering I struggle enough to upload one track, let alone anywhere between 6 and 12, I think I'll not raise my hand for next month, if that's alright with you?

Skol303 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 [b]The voting is up (see first post)... GO, GO, GO![/b] Quote
MiltyG565 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 There are some cracking mixes in there! I've kind of made a bit of a shortlist in my mind, and I'll have another listen tomorrow afternoon when I can concentrate a bit better on it. Well done everyone Quote
moonbass Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Ooh, I'm first to vote! There's a clear winner in my opinion this month, and it's a work of pure genius... although possibly approaching a cover version...! Strong work all round again though with some difficult source material. Very different approaches to the challenge; I'm dying to know who replaced what instrument. Sounds like some people redid the bassline? And someone seems to have found the original a bit slow! Liking the bold edits. Andy. Quote
the boy Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I can't find any of the mixes on my phone. It would be cool if they were all arranged in a list so you don't have to go looking for each mix. Quote

the boy Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Ignore the above. One stands out to me as a clear winner. Quote

I believe one of the ones with a redone bassline to belong to the man who did the original bass recording on this song. I did wonder though that one seemed to be faster, but I don't think it actually was, I think it just seemed faster, for some odd reason. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was the conclusion I came to.
