Dad3353 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) There's no denying it. Listening (not necessarily all in one sitting...) to 9 different version of the same song is not the simplest of tasks. The fact that it's ska/reggae doesn't make the task any easier. Nevertheless, those with distinguished taste enough, musical acumen and excellent hearing are finding immense pleasure from dissecting these entries for the June/July Mixing Challenge. There is diversity, intriguing bravura nay, even folly in the many approaches taken. Can you identify the 'foreign' drums surreptitiously added..? Is the vocal line treated with enough respect..? Why have some parts been mysteriously cut away; yet others added..? Which of these fine offering would be the favourite to grace [i]your[/i] turntable..? I shall not wax too lyrical, and shall admit that it is entirely legitimate to not like any of the results. Which is the least objectionable, in that case..? Would you care to explain why (optional...)..? Whatever your views and listening habits, break new ground in giving these 9 entries the benefit of your erudition and redaction skills. Take your time; we have until end of month to get the votes in. Uncle Sam..? We don't give a **** about what Uncle Sam needs. [i]BassChat[/i] needs you. Listen, please, and vote. Here's the link...

Dad3353 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 OK, now we know that you have the correct sense of priorities, and a leaning towards listening to great music, try this... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/213014-july-composition-competition-voting-time/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/213014-july-composition-competition-voting-time/page__fromsearch__1[/url] ...it's the July Composition Challenge, with no fewer than 13 (yes, thirteen; one-three. You heard correctly...) compositions in a wide variety of styles. Choose the best, in your opinion, and vote. You will be amazed at the talent and technicality presented; who knows..? You may even be inspired to participate yourself in a future event..! Do yourself a favour and give them a spin. I'm pretty damned sure you'll be ecstatic over more than one. Voting closes on the 31st, so take your time; listen to two or three per day, and choose your favourite. Thanks in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Just a 'bump' for those who leave things late. Voting closes at midnight, 31 July, so you'll have to get weaving. That is all...
