daveo1977 Sweet got it all in properly now ?

Would you mind if I played with drums a little? Just adding in some cymbal hits instead of leaving in just hi hats

    Had a bit of time to play with this last night and I think I might have something. I started messing around with a riff I've been playing with for a while and found a bit of inspiration. So far I've got rough versions of the intro and verse more or less in place as well as outlines for a bridge and chorus. Now need to round the song out, complete the lyrics and can then start on tighter recordings and adding detail.

      My best idea so far was to take a few old tunes I've done for challenges and re-mix them in a contrasting way.

      Didn't say it was a great idea... 😑

        daveo1977 bruh - can you hook me up with the midi files for your stringed instruments?

        There’s a lot going on and I’m having a tough time figuring out what notes to use lol

          ScottyDogg Yo dude! I added the midi files for the strings to the same folder you accessed last time. As always, add / subtract to your liking - especially keen to hear some of the strings replaced with tasty metal guitar 👍️

            Whoooaaa....only a week left!

            I'm using the challenge this month to commit to "tape" a long gestated thing - it's hardly original but it is (loosely interpreted) a contrast!

              daveo1977 lol how can I share a draft so far with you without everybody having a listen to it prematurely?

              I've generated new drum sounds with your midi, done guitars on the blast beat sections and think maybe just some light noodling in the quiet middle bit. Having difficulty with this one lol

                ScottyDogg Dude, thanks for all this effort already! You can send a WeTransfer link to chef at brbk.online

                  daveo1977 Done - give it a listen and let me know what you think? I can do a bit of light mixing for a version you can submit for this competition (I've literally just sent an unmixed mixdown) 🙂

                  Tonight I'm gonna try figure out some guitar stuff for the quiet bits (though I don't think it's vitally necessary)

                    daveo1977 There seems to be an issue with attachements, I've let @NorioDS know.

                    Looking forward to what you two cooked up!

                      I think that I'm pretty much done with my entry. Going to leave it a day or so and then give it another listen with fresh ears and see if I want to make any last minute tweaks.

                      Here's my entry. It's a guitar driven EDM track with a dash of cheesy pop sensibility. I wanted to get contrast between sections as well as between instruments but also tried to produce something that sounds like it belonged as a single piece... contrast rather than conflict.

                      daveo1977 lol I realised at the death that I had forgotten to put bass guitar in haha.. had no time to play and record it so I just quickly programmed some
