Dad3353 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1454955052' post='2974592'] Quick question about Vocaloids. Do you need to buy the editor as well as the voice pack (Avianna for example)... [/quote] The editor is included with every voice pack, so no need to acquire separately.

Dad3353 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1454955779' post='2974608'] That is very, very nice, Dad. A very enjoyable listening and a very mature composition. [/quote] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167485] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Having listened to the smeary mess that's happened to my song after uploading, I'm going to do a re-mix; I don't think Soundcloud likes the enormous amounts of reverb I try and hide the vocals with!

[/quote] Try using delay on your vocals instead. I used a small amount of reverb & a 1/16. delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christofloffer Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 ok i have changed mine a bit to try and make it a bit easier on the ear. my mum is not convinced and insists that the original version (now called Slightly Tanned Toes instead) is the better one, but i prefer the new one. i have tried the panning thing to thin things out a bit and chopped a couple of bits to stop it getting muddy. its still the same tune but i think this sounds better on the ear, though it sounds considerably better in Sonar than it does on soundcloud so i am not sure how much of my efforts will come through. either way here it is: https://soundcloud.com/christofloffer/sunburnt-toes2 i will leave it alone now, otherwise i will be altering it forever.

Bastav Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Heres mine [url="https://soundcloud.com/organicpulseensemble/suspense-release-breeze"]https://soundcloud.c...-release-breeze[/url] Its a bit rough around the edges but since its the first track ive made in over a year and half I'll take what i can get. I imagine its about standing up there feelin the [b]suspense[/b], then the [b]release [/b]of the drop and then swimming around takin it [b]breezy[/b]... and in the end climbing up and doing it again. Yeah. Oh and as I dont have a drum kit I had to make do, playing a gong with a chopstick made for an alright ride and the touristy conga that usually functions as my nightstand became a kick drum when played with a tea-ball Edited February 9, 2016 by Bastav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I got a little time with the vocoder & polished up the track a little bit. I'm happier with it now. https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/start-of-a-party-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Such a wide variety of entries already, well done all I've most of the music done. I'm going to try singing again. I don't like it, but in for a penny... etc. I may need to re-record some guitars after that. The deadline is a real bugger, isn't it? It seems far away but then it sneaks right up on you all of a sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I've got a few thoughts for mine but haven't put anything down yet. I'm thinking some sort of surf guitar so I get to play with my Harley Benton telecaster with maybe some keys in there too. Something more cheerful than my recent piano excursions and a different style to try and play. Whoever wins it this month would please me no end if they chose a cinematic picture for March's comp! I've been buying a few cinematic VIs recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What..? A stop-motion dive of a scantily-clad girl into a picturesque lake is not cinematic enough..? What do you want, Star Wars Tee-fighters and lasers..? Lawrence of Arabia..?

The inspiration photo struck a (house) chord with me & things just came so easily (whether anyone else on here likes house music is another subject though). But it was great fun to make the track.

the boy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Oh my...... Some very interesting little ditties indeed. One has caught my attention already. I'm thoroughly enjoying how this challenge seems to be growing. There's some new blood and some collaborations which I suppose could be categorised as transfused blood and the older blood still pumping away there. I guess what I'm trying to say is, this challenge has heart and guts and brains too. I raise my glass to you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
