Mykesbass Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I think that Douglas has been on the Special K Quote
NickD Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 OK... It's 28 days until the end of February... I've got a DAW I don't know how to use, a midi controller I'm not sure about, an effects unit they say can be used as an audio interface, no mic, no keyboard skills, no time, no ideas... and I'm wearing sunglasses... Hit it! Quote

the boy Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I love the picture and I have a chorus already. Well done Dad. Quote

I'm stalled in the starting blocks, meself..! Too much, too fast. No, no, you go on ahead; I'll just sit here and 'noodle' for a while. I'll still be here on your way back. Yes, another shawl and I'll be fine; off you run, now... Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I've already recorded the chickens before I introduce them to the vibraslap... Just off now for some Mongolian throat singing lessons. Quote
Dad3353 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Ah, good. That leaves the trombone door wide open for me. Hmm... ([i]Taps toe a few times[/i]...) Ouch..! That hurt..! Too fast a tempo; I'll have to reign in the bongos a bit... Quote
lurksalot Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 We have had some very wet themes recently , when I win this month* I think I will choose a picture of a desert ..... Or even a dessert *well, a bit of optimism won't hurt will it Quote

Mornats Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Damn, I'm in a dark moody cinematic type style right now and you've gone and posted a nice summer frolicky happy picture! Harumph! Quote
xgsjx Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 It's not a very February pic, is it. Which is a good thing, as it'll hopefully lift everyone's spirits a bit & add some sunshine. Quote
Doctor J Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 That pic really had me stumped for a while, wasn't quite what I was expecting, considerably more summery I've got something brewing now, need to digest it for a while, see if I can do anything like what I'm hearing in my head Quote
Dapper Bandit Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Wasn't expecting a picture like that, completely removed from what's happening outside my window that's for sure! Got a very rough idea, if I can get even remotely close to it... Quote
Bleat Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Hmmmm verrrry... interesting... *rubs chin* I'm going to put my bikini on and submerge my head in a bucket of water for a while, then see what I can come up with...if I don't drown first. James Quote

This might be somewhat rough! Quote
RockfordStone Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 i'll try and get into this one as i am spending a lot more time recording at the moment. that said i am working on another EP so i'll see if i can fit this in Quote
Mornats Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I've got a track almost finished but... I started it in Jan so it doesn't qualify. Also it in no way whatsoever matches the image. Back to the midi keyboard then! Quote
xgsjx Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Believe it or not, I'm almost finished my track! Took the idea of her diving in, added the sunshine & blue skies & came up that it should be on piano. Got my melody & it's grew arms & legs already. I might spend the next couple of weeks fine tuning it & playing with filters, etc. Quote
Bleat Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Please may I ask a question? Is it within the rules to allow someone to add to a composition ie words and singing...as I am useless at both! James. Quote
