GFSA "Something with Delay" Challenge Revisited

V8 · 2017-04-25T07:23:15+00:00

This month, we're hitting 88miles per hour, heading back in time to March 2013, when Rene originally hosted the... Something with Delay Challenge For all the pedal board/effect junkies, this is where you can jump on board. There is no limitations on genre or style, but only that your song features delays. The 4 instrument restriction applies, but if you want to make 3 guitars do something delayed or a full band and only one guitar delay, then that is up to you. Original Vocals are, of course, always a freebie - samples however will be counted as instruments. The winning entry should be judged based on: 1) Creativity 2) Originality 3) Its melodic impact (i.e. could you remember the tune after listening to it) Rules for beginners/intermediate/advanced : All genre's welcomed. Max four instruments playing at any one time - Original Vocal track(s) are considered 'free' (doesn't count towards the four instrument limit - however samples will be counted as instruments). Submissions around 2mins. If you would like to enter, send me an email (v8v8v8 at gmail dot com) by 23:59 pm Sunday 21st May 2017 with : 1. GFSA username. 2. Track name. 3. Category (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Band) 3. Track rendered in mp3. 4. Optional blurb. Anything you might feel is useful to the listener - info about song, studio, recording techniques, etc.. 5. Please make sure you have GFSA somewhere in the title of the email - otherwise I might miss your submission. Good luck, luck, luck....

Almost done, really enjoying this one!

Like me, are you still in composition stage or digging for inspiration?

Here's a useful overview of delay and common ways it's used : https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/How_to_Get_the_Most_Out_of_Your_Delay_Pedal

hey meron - are these windows only - or universal? looks like a great suite, but unfortunately of no use to me on a mac! :'(
EDIT: never mind, they're pc only. :'(:'(:'(

I fetched my guitar and pod from church this morning after playing on Sunday and leaving it there... So I can work on my entry again!

Managed to get something together and put my entry in this morning. Had some fun with both my old school homemade delay pedal and the tempo-synced delay in garageband.

So far we have Peter, Stoffeltoo and Bruceikins entering with one to come from the studly wonder 8).

Arrgghh, my interface has been appropriated by the band for tracking. It turns out that works that much better than any of their's...bassists are useful sometimes ?

Was hoping to get it back to get some recording done for this challenge, looks like I'll have to skin the cat in a slightly different fashion. Laptop microphone to the rescue!

Oh snap! I thought I had another week!
Let me run to my study and see if I can complete my email entry..

I've got an intro and a verse with the verse going U2 vibes... sheeeeeesh...gonna be tight!

I still need to write lyrics for a chorus and possibly another verse and write some more 'parts' to the song.

Ok... so this was REALLY rushed cos I thought I had another whole week ???
I missed the deadline by like 3 minutes... but hopefully it'll slip through :?

No bass or drums this time... that thinking you have another whole week thing!

Warren the carpenter! You should have recorded them hammer shots! Well done on entering
