Impressed with both the number - and the quality - of entries this time around. I failed once more to take part (despite intending to!). But there's always next time.
Will look more into the practicalities of a compilation CD ... it shouldn't be expensive, but it could help raise some funds to pay for whatever's needed to help develop this aspect of the site.
Well, we've got the "making music" section of the forum - but tell me what else you think would be useful.Bump for those of you viewing via "recent discussions" who don't get down to the dusty end of the forum!
So, when's number 3 and what's the challenge?!
Not 100% about the exact nature of the challenge yet..........
Last Mantra edged it for me, but I thought @Cacofonix & @Basher nailed the genre & @Kerpunk wins on the wistful atmosphere of his song.
I'm actually sorry this is a competition in a way...
Very much agree that I'd like to read what gear people used, if they have time, especially regarding recording devices & if anyone recorded live sound via a mic.
I learned a lot by recording this piece as it freed me up to go mad and experiment. For instance, if you chop the attack off a fuzzed up guitar note you can come up with loads of interesting organ-like tonalities that sound like something off an early Stereolab record. I'm sure that many of the ideas/discoveries will find their way into my more conventional sounding stuff.
Should we do a rollover and bump the prize to next challenge with the new prize adde as well ?
Yeah we could do that. I can open the voting for another week to decided the winner from Steamabacus, Adam MD and Not the DJ
I will probably overhaul the voting system for the next challenge to allow people 2 votes, a first and second choice. Your first choice is worth 3 points and your second choice is worth 1 point, something like that. I shall have a think.
If you are one of the three finalists im afraid you cannot vote this time around.
The option to enter the competitions as a team has always been in the rules from the beginning, you just have to get some people to join up with you.
I don't think I would do a competition specifically for teams just yet though as we don't have enough people participating at the moment.
