Have you chosen a picture yet and sent it to Skol? After all for this months challenge we are waiting on you 😜

I wondered who to send it to. I'll do it by midday.

Congrats, great tune!

Well done

Looking forward to this month's inspiration pic, so choose wisely.

Very well done!

Please message me with your choice of photo for this month and I'll get it sorted.

I've had a more polished version of mine waiting in the wings for the comp to end. So here it is (if anyone's interested in seeing how I progressed it). https://soundcloud.com/mornats/low-mass

Obviously I don`t want you all giving away your secrets, but I am guessing you go to some library to download some backing material, or do you all make the track from scratch? I have my recording kit now, so I thought someone might give away some tips

Mine is done using virtual instruments played on a midi keyboard. The main instrument library I used was this one: http://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/ranges/albion/albion-one/.

[/quote] Looks like I will be looking elsewhere. That is expensive. Thanks for the reply though. Now I know how you are doing it, it gives me a chance to look for similar..

More modest, but free (only requires giving an email address, but non-invasive...), here's a few decent Vst instruments...

Here's another Vst with ochestral sounds ...

That'll get you started. A search for 'free Vst instruments' will bring up a bewildering array of all sorts; hours of fun, but some deceptions, too. DSK have a pretty extensive range of other genres, too; well worth a look, I reckon.

Jolly good. The early version was fine, but this is a definite improvement; all is 'tied together' coherently, with a fine build-up and crescendo. Good stuff; a thoroughly enjoyable listen. My thumb is up.

[timmo]

Thanks. I am pretty sure I won`t be taking part this month, but maybe the following month I will have something passable.

Nothing received as yet. I'll check the carrier pigeon coup...

[xgsjx]

Just noticed that I came 3rd! Chuffed to bits that 9 people actually liked my tune.

[MoonBassAlpha]

Or hated it less than most of the others?
