This week's challenge, [b]Bollywood Ringtone[/b] has had a record number of entries. Voting closes 7:45pm on Sunday [quote author=chris77 link=action=profile;u=1551 date=1255273581] well here she goes, my first entry. http://www.box.net/shared/4nzmoxdbgi really basic ... strat bridge pick-up through a clean amp and some pitchshifting effect. beginner entry for me this time [/quote] [quote author=Rudolf link=action=profile;u=756 date=1255280986] Alrighty here's me and Nita's attempt. Nita was in charge of coffee and critique, inspiration. :) Beginner of course. Track 1: Guitar - Squier Tele Custom II through unknown effects on my floorpod. All those bends, goodness my fingers. Track 2: Rhythm track done in Acid. Track 3: Some weird synth sample thingy repeating the whole time. Track 4: Vocals by some strange looking fella we found overtaking us in a Checkers trolley on the N1. http://www.box.net/shared/3r3uqlj8km [/quote] [quote author=Riaan link=action=profile;u=72 date=1255295191] For some reason I woke up at 4:30 AM on Sunday morning, started recording and ended up with my version of a Bollywood ringtone. A somewhat noisy piece that started of promisingly, but somehow a baseline from The Wall crept in, and a Brian May preset that sounded good on it's own found it's way in there as well...so now I don't know if it's Bollywood anymore. But it sure was fun, and it sure as hell got everyone else up early also.... :D Anyway, as usual all done on Sonar 8.5, Guitar Rig 4 and Dimension Pro. I opted for electronic drums (Session Drummer) in keeping with the ringtone theme. Rythm and lead guitar done on my Godin. Having won the beginners category three times now, I'll stick to the advanced from now on...come hell or high water!

Not sure if it's eastern or a ringtone but whatever...

The guitar is also driving the sampled string section. Percussion is tabla (India), udu (Nigeria) and shaker (everywhere).

[/quote] [quote author=Squonk link=action=profile;u=298 date=1255213849] http://www.box.net/shared/1km0mfd6eg I dont have an eastern bone in my body! Advanced [/quote] [quote author=PeteM link=action=profile;u=1544 date=1255294692] Didn't think I would make it this week, so I rustled something up in a couple of hours - couldn't let the side down ;). I cheated a bit - added a 5th track for the ringing effect, which BTW I created by playing the strings between the bridge and the saddle. http://www.box.net/shared/s2h4ulktrs Category A. [/quote] [quote author=Manfred Klose link=action=profile;u=144 date=1255296955] This was a tough one, i ended up using a pentatonic scale instead of harmonic minor ;) , anyway i hope it sounds like a middel-eastern ringtone, india meets arabia........with a bit of a groove: http://www.box.net/shared/5jvh9mqbuj [/quote] [quote author=Viccy link=action=profile;u=755 date=1255302330] Here's mine.

PeteM

chris77

Congrats Rudolf and well done to all!

Rudolf

Excellent work AJB and Pete! And of course everyone else also!

Thanks as far as the congrats goes, I'd like to thank my kettle, my Telecastor, especially my computer that restarts itself randomly....hehe kidding. No animals were harmed during the making of this production, we managed to get the cat away from the power lead before he could he really get his teeth in there.

Scary thought...

Well Alan, it was a close call. I got around to all kinds of evil thoughts for this one but luckily Tailon bailed me out. Better to stash the nasties in the vault for when I can one day back them up some.

Rudolf

Oh Rene you got a PM! ?
