Will listen when I get home. d(^_^)b
July Challenge [VOTE]
I like your earphone smiley!
Outstanding entries! :goodtimes:
Really liked "Vigilante" by Tokyopop and "Nothing but a long line of mistakes" by studmissile.
They sounded well refined and suited their heroes.

Cant get G-Man and V8 recordings to load. Adrian can you check in the interest of fairness please?
Also had the same problem, but click the red links underneath that worked for me?Stoffeltoo wrote: Cant get G-Man and V8 recordings to load. Adrian can you check in the interest of fairness please?
Great turn out and great entries!
If I click on links, it opens a separate tab and works. But, the little mp3 player no longer shows on myside, I don't know if that feature has been disabled, or if my computer is acting up (its been doing that recently, that is why I never said anything)Stoffeltoo wrote: Cant get G-Man and V8 recordings to load.

All the entries are great. Love the smoothness and transitions in studmissile"s piece.
EPIC Entries!!! WOW!!!
For anyone that is battling... Try right click on the red link and select "save as..." then save the mp3 on your pc and listen from there.Adrian Rogowski wrote:If I click on links, it opens a separate tab and works.

The last 2 didn't work for me when I took a listen but the others did. No idea what's going on to be honest.
But yeah, open the red link in a new tab or save the mp3. That still works normally.

Hasie - Rad tune. I could easily see a Samurai Jack scene going down in my mind's eye.
G-Man - I have no idea who the hell Tardy Man is but your theme fits your description perfectly. I got a twisted Metalocalypse vibe from it.
IainRossouw - Nice tune. Very national anthem-esque I thought and probably fits perfectly with patriotic heroes from the really early, original comics. Like what fellow soldiers might have played when Captain America came back home after taking out taking Hitler. A bit too merry though IMO, but otherwise good stuff.
V8 - Immediate blast from the past. It reminded me of toons like Biker Mice From Mars.
Studmissile - Awesome as always and definitely more Punisher than Superman.

Thanks for the great crits TokyoPOP. I'll check the Merry thing. Probably needs more serious and majestic. mmmm. The right kind of intervals in the melody is probably the key.
Grand entries all,
My feedback (aka 2c) on the entries :
Hasie : I reckon the progression has serious superhero potential! But it was 2:22...about +/- 1m too long. What daw are you using (if one at all?), next time a multitrack production with some drums/percussion next time would be sweet.
ianrossouw : Did you have a (super) Hero in mind when you composed? I can hear a lot of work within the arrangement - though the midi keys & timpani drums weren't quite working together in the last 20s?
G-man : 80's trash metal...FTW! Sounded epically garage-y. Tardyman plays at 220+bpm, haha. Some serious chops you're developed - awesome!
TokyoPop : Dug the combo of electric & acoustic on this track - all coming together very nicely. Can hear the effort you've been putting into recording over the last few months. The shreddy parts reminded me of anime style soundtracks.
Sutdmissile : Tasty slide playing! For me, leaning more towards punisher than stuporman. One crit...boring drums! Some variations in the drums, pretty please - could added some much with a few cymbals &/or fills. I guess I'm sounding a lot like a broken record by now... :?

Thanks! As an anime fan with a username based on a manga website, I take that as high praise.V8 wrote: reminded me of anime style soundtracks.
Thanks for the feedback Tokyopop and V8.
I used Cubase AI, which I got with my amp, but I am still totally useless at using it. I just started with the Intro to Music Production course on Coursera and will hopefully learn something I can apply in future. I will check the length of my entry more carefully next time.

Nice one guys - till the next challenge! Perhaps we sneak in another weekly one somewhere this month?
Congrats to the winners and to all those who took the time to enter.
My 2 cents worth-
TokyoP0P the deserved winner - great entry which captured exactly the theme that you described! (intermediate.....I wonder ?)
Amazing recording quality from Studmissile, and Hasie, good stuff!

Thanks for the votes and of course thanks to my guitar. Without it none of this would be possible. This one's for you, Betty. Cheers.
This challenge was no picnic, but that was the fun part I think. Well done again to everyone.

Hey, thanks Brian. Eh... Advanced... I just hear the word and I think of some Guthrie Govan, Paco de Lucia type madness.briang wrote: My 2 cents worth-
