Roland Rock Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1376842789' post='2179814'] Ok I'm done. This took a lot longer than I'd hoped, mainly because the idea of remixing my past 12 months' entries and creating a giant mashup of them all wasn't as easy at it first seemed. In fact, it was a gigantic pain in the ass… involving lots of pitching, time-stretching, re-sampling, etc, in order to make everything fit together with any degree of coherence. I ended up starting from scratch with a lot of it, including the drum track. But meh, it was fun. In a self-flagellating kind of way The soundtrack doesn't match the video transitions perfectly, but I had to sacrifice the timing in a few places to make the music work. Anyway, here you go… [b]NB: this track contains one instance of swearing - a m***********, to be precise! - so it's not safe for work or family viewing[/b] (that's a heads-up for Lurks, who I know sometimes listens to these tracks with his children). [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksAyl2MkFso&feature=c4-overview&list=UUmgDHWbt8-3lAXlSuCBLT8w[/media] That's me pretty much done until mid-September now (silly season at work), but I'll hopefully have time to sling something together for the start of the 'new season'.

Keep the door open for as long as possible. Bronze..? I like bronze. Of course, it may not come to that; I'm sure there's others yet with their entries. Never mind, bronze would have been nice.

I've only managed to give it a quick listen on my phone, but it sounds great - even on my poxy phone speaker! I especially like the 'aurora' and 'Blue Note' pieces. And your timing is spot on for each change of theme. Impressive as always mate Looking forward to giving it a proper listen. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
