Yup +1. I also cannot seem to shift the pitch of the track.

daveo1977 Let's ask @NorioDS - Norio, any chance of hosting locally as we did way back?

If not, we could always use box.com as we did before we hosted locally.

NorioDS

V8 sorry guys I'm stuck in hospital again. Can't help with the hosting. Will have to be Box or something like that.

guidothepimmp

NorioDS in hospital? Hope everything is ok

daveo1977

NorioDS I'm sorry to hear that you are in hospital. I wish you a speedy recovery!

NorioDS

Thanks gents ☺ I'm sure I'll be fine soon enough ?

V8

So I'll think we'll got with soundcloud as plan A for entries and box.com as plan B if you hink you'll have issues with soundcloud?

Box probably won't embed nicely as SC does - but it's one click and it'll play on box - well that's how it used to work!

daveo1977

V8 Great, signing up for Box to submit my entry.

Not sure if there is a problem. I cannot seem to open anything with that link. Jusy a fyi. Maybe it works for others

V8

daveo1977 Nicely, I can view without having to login (but I did anyways to dbl check, non-box users get the same file).

Do you have any blurb (inspiration/motivation) to share (purely optional!)

guidothepimmp

guidothepimmp dont mind me. Created an account and now i can access it. Nicely done bud!

guidothepimmp . I cannot seem to open anything with that link. Jusy a fyi. Maybe it works for others

I've tried from my desktop with chrome and firefox - both worked for me - does take a little while to buffer the file, but plays fine.

V8 I forgot!! This one's called "You want this party started, right?" It was inspired by those radio DJ intros you sometimes hear. There's a bit of 90's nostalgia in there – C+C Music Factory, EMF, Beastie Boys & System Of A Down. Put together in Ableton. I made album artwork, please excuse the big pic:

guidothepimmp Thank you kindly!!

and here is my humble submission.

Struggled with the sample bits but basically stuck it in as a preamble to a song my old band from 10-13yrs back used to do.I am sure you can figure out the sample.. it is rather obvious. The band tune oddly I cannot remember the name of.. i changed out the rhythm guitars and bass to make them a bit more aggressive, and also to fill space. listening back to the recordings of our practices it sounded a bit empty now. funny how that happens. I wrote some words but as I cannot sing, so attempted to voice over rather than actually sing. my throat was killing me after 2 takes.

One from the archives (5yrs ago, originally for the GFSA 'Action' challenge). More than a little bit of old skool gaming nostalgia with every Duke Nukem sample I could find, some car samples and a couple DJ vox samples.

Although it's a previous entry :-0 I did make some changes for this one - the intro 45s is similar but mixed with far more delay tails and glitchy bits, middle bit never made the entered edit and the last 1m is pretty much the same, but a bit louder.

My first attempt at using MIDI - More specifically, my Korg Nano Key.
Also had some fun with a drum app - Cant use my bongo for everything...

Vox was a debate but ended up using it, i really need to get a proper recording setup.

Iconic throwback songs in a bit of a mashup.

Enjoy ?

klaasvakie

Trashed the first idea, this is the second.

I've remembered quite the interesting video on the making of "drunk" - Sungazer.

In the video they explain their use of samples throughout the song in quite an awesome way.
