My won't be finished by the end of tomorrow. I'm out

While the deadline is midnight tomorrow , I won’t get to setting the vote thread till tea time when I get home from work , as long as it’s here by then all is cool , and if they’re anything like mine , they are never finished , they are set out into the world on a hope and a prayer to find their way in this cruel, cruel world.

Thanks but mine is literally not finished. I need to write parts for 3 sections. Edit and mix. I just don't have the time. I've enjoyed trying tho. It will be good when finished.

half way in the intro, a random bar of drums bursts in , there is no midi in the track , and the only way I can do anything with it, is to kill the volume at the place it kicks in.

 

Random drums, excellent. Call it a feature, not a glitch!

Ahh, mixing, my greatest enemy. I don't mix tracks so much as faff about with them for far too long and hope for the best (as you can probably tell). The majority of folk on here do some fantastic work with their tunes as regards the final mixing and production. Hats off to you, the quality is superb

I think the mistake i've made is there is just too much going on and too much of it.

 

What I'll do is take some inspiration from the next picture and put it into this and enter it next month.😆

Here's my entry. Just in time for the deadline.

 

This is about Quantum mechanics, specifically that quarks are never found alone — they are always stuck together in particles like mesons, which are made of a quark and an antiquark, or baryons — like protons and neutrons.

 

When you try to pull a quark and antiquark apart, the force between them gets stronger, like stretching a really tight rubber band. If you keep pulling, you give it so much energy that instead of breaking apart, new quarks appear from that energy thanks to E=mc². Instead of ending up with a single quark and antiquark, you now get two new pairs each comprised of a single quark and antiquark stuck together.

 

The song is divided into four verses, with each one focusing on a specific topic:

1. Quark Confinement Basics
2. The Rise of Confinement Energy
3. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
4. The Hadronization process

 

All instruments apart from the bass were programmed in Logic using logic's built-in instruments and all processing was performed by logic's built-in FX.

 

Alchemy was used for the 303ish Acid loop that repeats throughout. There's also an analog sounding pad plus transistor organ and electric piano.

 

I used a text to speech app to make the lead vocal and fed this into the EVOC 20 vocoder on the chorus sections.

 

The bass part was recorded using my Rickenbacker 4003, with each pickup routed to a separate track via the Rick-O-Sound output. This allowed me to use the bass pickup throughout the song, with alternate eight bar sections having the fuzzed treble pickup added in.

Genius 👌 

I'd have actually paid attention to science in school if they taught it that way.
