lurksalot Posted January 1 Posted January 1 If you can cast your minds back to November , you will recall that the challenge was won by @Jean-Luc Pickguard. .....Aahhhh He has thus provided the picture for the January Challenge .....Aahhhh so without further ado and no more fluffing about, as I'm sure you couldn't bear it , take care.... "Here's a pic that I think might prompt some interesting entries." ✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ✖️ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ✖️ No Bagpipes, but as bears are known to be in the Andes, panpipes might pass this time. ✖️ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 24th January A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super smashing. Good luck, Have fun 1 Quote
SH73 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 We've had bears picture before, looks like it's going to be part 2 coming. Bear with me this month ...(I'll get my coat). Quote

One's even got some rapping, which is always appreciated here in this cradle of modernity 1 Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Not being the target market for anything teddy-bear related, I done some funky stuff featuring slap ACG and DOD filter. POW! (or not...) Loud guitar stuff is by fellow Weed Johnny Boy Sultrypants... Rest by me! 6 Quote
lurksalot Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 Reaper is playing games with me 🤬 arm a track and play the bass through it all is good , but if I press play to jam along to the others tracks, I lose the volume of the armed track playback to my headphones . If I hit record the playback comes through fine . i have not got the first clue and it’s racking me off . the only problem I have was a power cut while the pc was on sleep, but there must be a setting that escapes me totally.

lurksalot Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 Panic over the monitor section on the track arming button was set to a different preference , I don’t remember doing it , but must have I guess 1 Quote
upside downer Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Here's my starter for 2025. The teddy bears have met up for a picnic and a bit of a dance. Led by Ted and Ginger, they gently two-step all their worries away. Extensive use of the Ableton sound library for this one with drum samples from Looperman and some Strat copy guitar with a Daphon wah-wah pedal. Wavepad and Audacity, natch. 3 Quote

Lord Sausage Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I might join in the next one if I can get any inspiration from the picture. Couldn't this month. Quote

SH73 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) Bear with me. Ran out of time for vocals. Edited January 25 by SH73 . 2 Quote
lurksalot Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 I really struggled to get something for this , the idea was to get a soundtrack for each of Lurksalittle's favourite bears, but I so ran out of time. I am having my carpal tunnel done next week so I have been mad at work since Christmas to make sure I've got things up to date, and this track has suffered ! end of the excuses I guess EZdrummer is probably the best part of this, but I hack around my Ibby 6 string through Waves GTR3 , and my little Fleabass pretty clean , 2 Quote
lurksalot Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 (edited) On a side note, I'm working in the morning so I might not get the vote thread up till midday-ish On another side note , I think I'll need to give everyone 6 votes to get one of them for mine Edited January 24 by lurksalot Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Sorry guys - been hectic with home/band etc… I haven’t done it again. have I got time…we’ll have to see 😏 Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 25 Posted January 25 (edited) https://on.soundcloud.com/odukD9PpSbeEKqxe7 well…tenuous link… I recorded this last night; not sure how it’s linked to the image but I’d suggest it could be the lamenting of a lost love - the bear remembers the summer of love with his now ex bear friend 🤣 yamaha acoustic, Danelectro silver sparkly bass…GarageBand drummer. Nowt fancy. edit by lurks for link embed Edited January 25 by lurksalot 1 Quote
