Skol303 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 March's challenge is go! Here's the inspiration chosen by last month's winner, Bleat... Usual rules apply: No copyright theft. Try not to be a potty mouth. Keep it under 5 minutes and no recycling of old efforts. Most pipe-based instruments are strictly prohibited* Deadline for entries is midnight on Sunday 24th March. *If you have to ask, you're already on dodgy ground. Quote
lurksalot Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 There doesn't seem to be much excitement thus far , so, er, er, don't hold your breath , this one will probably put you to sleep, but nevertheless I am working toward a new style , less is more , and then I can't stop using less less and end up with more more so I guess you will all be the judge on that one . enjoy zzzzzz Quote
Dad3353 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Here is my contribution to the March 2019 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Bleat. A long flight, all sorts of stuff goes around in one's head; this is but part of it (thankfully..!) All Vst's or free-to-use samples, all programmed by myself. Drums: Superior Drums 2. Guitars, baritone sax: Vst instruments. Sweet voices: Blue. The voyageur and BV's: samples. A fair amount of treatment required, to (try to...) get the samples to sing in the key required, at the right speed, plus a hefty dose of various reverbs, delays, EQ and compression, on individual tracks and Master buses. Yes, I know, 'Less is more', but in this case, it was 'More is required'. Sorry. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy. Edited March 17, 2019 by Dad3353 1 Quote

Dad3353 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 That's not a Chestnut, It's a Larch. ... OK, I'll correct it, but it makes a nonsense of your post. Serves you right. 1 Quote
Skol303 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Welcome back @Dad3353 🙌 I might try to get something written myself this month. Finally got the studio set up again; so now hoping to find some time this week. No promises! If not this month then next should be a go-er 🙂 Edited March 17, 2019 by Skol303 Quote
SH73 Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Won't be able to compose this month. Started this week unfortunately my laptop has had it. Running chkdsc and it has been replacing bad clusters file in DAW all night. Got my eyes on new gaming laptop.😁 Quote
Rikki1984 Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Hi guys, I finally managed to get a couple of evenings free to record something. The theme of the song is the 'looking' the window and seeing the breadth of possibilities to improve life if you just make that step. Unfortunately my inability to sing or write lyrics kinda take away abit from that, but we can only use what we've got lol. https://soundcloud.com/rikki-boyes/through-the-window 1 Quote

A touch modest with that 'something'; it's got a nice 'Cranberries meet Mark Knopfler' feel to it. Good guitar work. OK, the singing voice is what it is, but Dylan didn't do badly with his, and as for Neil Young... Well done; a worthy entry. Quote

Thanks, I really appreciate your comment. 🙂 If I get an hour tonight I may give the verses another shot. The chorus is as good as it'll get, I'm afraid. 😂 Quote
Skol303 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Studio now set up (yay!) and also taken delivery of a second-hand Focusrite Solo interface, so I can work on little ditties like this from my sofa amongst family mayhem: Hastily slung together (literally <1 hour) and very coarsely mixed, but to hell with it... just nice to be back in the swing of things! 🙂 Edited March 24, 2019 by Skol303 Quote
SH73 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Unable to finish my project due to laptop and DAW issues.The main culprit is Amplitude 4 in DAW .. Ableton live 10 keeps crushing. ☹️Need to reset both as suggested by Ableton tech team. Quote
