Unfortunately I'm traveling and won't be able to add your entry until tomorrow night (Sunday). If I try to do it on my phone it's likely to crash the voting... I've learnt that from experience!

TheGreek Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I'm the first to vote...?? Some great interpretation of the image, some less so. Very impressed with Leonard Smalls' playing on his contribution - by far the best Bass work - unfortunately not the best interpretation. Deserves mention even so.... Keep up the good work fellas.

Leonard Smalls Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Why thank you! It's all done with smoke and mirrors though... I'm currently wading through; standards seem to rise every month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I didn't quite get mine to the standard I wanted it at before the comp ended so I'll upload a new version after voting ends. I've been watching a few tutorials on epic trailer track percussion and have been beefing it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Sorry my entry this month is so low in content (less, this time, is just less!). It won't get any votes as it isn't worth it, but at least I've started using my new kit (Zoom R24), so, hopefully, next time round there will be a bit more in it.

[/quote] go for it however, you may need a good hour to write about how sh*t it is. its very rushed. i wrote and recorded the lyrics, edited and mixed it in the space of 2 hours. i might not be sh*t to other ears... it does have one part which makes me chuckle tho, i'll leave it to you to work out which bit Edited March 27, 2017 by RockfordStone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[size=2]although it's true that mine are unpolishable, too..![/size] ) As for 'Play Of The Day', it's tempting (I miss it too...), but I have to be fit enough for the 'long haul' first. Soon, but not this month, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've missed your critiques, and haven't been doing this long enough to have had any of my efforts done. Look forward to them when you're fighting fit again. Then you could retrospectively do all mine. Chop chop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'll do that, an 'MBA Special'. I've given 'em a short listen just now, and they're worthy of comment. Not this week (our daughter and grandson are coming over for a week's visit...), but it'll maybe help me get back in the saddle. Coming soon, then...

Dad3353 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 ... and voted. Tough choice, as ever. There's some good stuff there (and then there's Lenny's tune, of course ...). Well done, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Dad....... have you been borrowing the kids iPod. That was a revelation. I voted for two that really suited the picture and one that I'm not sure what it was about or if it suited the picture at all but it was too beautiful not to vote for. Well done all. There were a few beauties in there this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
