    October Composition Challenge

    in Recording

    Posted · Edited by Dad3353

    This is NOT my contribution to the October 2024 Basschat Composition Challenge, illustrated with a picture chosen by Wolfram.
    No, really. I just happened to finish this just as the new picture arrived, so here it is. Yes, it's composed entirely, from end to end, by AI; I just strung it together. Is this 'cheating'..? Yes, I think it is. It is, however, probably better than what I'll compose by myself. Food for thought : should AI efforts be aloud, or not..? Hmm...
    Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy. Not suitable as Challenge material; my real, human 'intelligence' entry is below :hi:...

     

     

    Anybody playing with Udio or other AI music generating software ?

    I tried it, messing about for an hour or so with it, but could get nothing finalised. Maybe I just didn't understand the options and stuff that were presented (I signed up, but didn't pay anything; maybe that's the difference..?). I tried another one (can't remember what it was called...), but had no luck with that, either. I certainly found it all to be so confusing, with terms that I'm not familiar with. Too old..? Possibly (probably..?). :|

    Could someone help me out with some standard notation sheet music for a Sabbath song? 

    I have an idea for a tattoo, it's all very artistic and the music will be creating a texture in the background but it has to be something important to me as well so either NIB, Supernaut or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath would be absolutely ideal. 

    Ta in advance. 

     

    Choose something from here (using a screenshot, maybe..?)..?

    Sorry, try it in very little words ?

    Ignore that pesky little 'Auto' box, and insert the photo in exactly the same way as in all of your other posts, and it will work. That 'Auto' box is of no utility with your one, solitary photo. Pretend it's not there.
    Does it all work, now..? :friends:

    If I try drag & drop, it tells me the file is oversize - when I post pics on forum I usually copy & paste .............

     

    What is the file size..? If it's very high resolution, could you reduce it, using picture editing software such as Imgur..?

    Band-related PA problems

    Its tricky. Singer owns the Vox PA.. thats all fine an dandy, but what then happens to the band dynamic the moment you put ur snare/BD thru it too because the venue doesnt sound right?  Thats the tricky bit, when others start taking advantage, so I can see the singists point when they get peeved. 

     

    If the venue requires more than a 'vox-only' PA, then it's a band decision to invest, or hire the gear needed. The PA owner decides what does or does not go through his/her PA. B|

    Or you could chose to play in an originals band, where unless you deliberately decide to play venues that don't normally put on live music almost everywhere you will want to play will have an in-house PA and lights complete with someone to work them for you.

     

    This was true once Kiemsa (all original eight-piece ska/rock/punk band...) had climbed far enough up the greasy pole to play those venues, but it took a couple of years putting on self-promoted concerts, and a fair share of lesser venues and events in which we had to provide the PA and lights. Once we could get the tech sheet and rider respected by the bigger events, all was well; we just had to learn how to set up and operate the various PA and lighting consoles that were on hand. Solved, for lighting, by using a Dmx interface and a laptop; all I had to do was patch the fixtures to my Dmx output, which I could do during sound check. We still had issues on occasion. Once, at the Bourge festival, we were playing 'off' venues. Upon arriving at the first, and asking what the PA was, we learned that none of the 'off' venues (bars and clubs, for the most part...) had anything 'in house'. The road crew had to scour the countryside to rake up enough gear for playing. Do you know just how hard it is to find a decent PA rig to hire whilst the Bourge festival is on..? It's all been soaked up by all the other stages and events. We did the gigs, though, with what we cobbled together. Happy Daze..! B|

    Back in the '70s, I was simply the drummer for the pro touring bands; the BL handled all the gear, tour bus, dates, hire'n'fire etc. I turn up with my drums and play, and help the roadies at tear-down.

    Since playing in cover bands with buddies, or doing the roadying, desk and lights for an originals band, I've always been the one supplying the gear etc. As these were/are always buddies, chums, friends and family (two sons...), and I had the funds to do it (from my day-time career...), it was, and still is, my own gear and transport, so no split-up, and no arguments. I worked week-ends at times with a buddy's events outfit, so had a source for s/h gear when he upgraded stuff. Now retired, I have easily enough for the few gigs we now do, but no more tour-bus (too old for MOT, so scrapped...), so I 'borrow' a van from our local garage, for a tankful of diesel when I return it. Just lucky, I guess, but no issues with any split, as it's all mine (my Precioussss; all mine..! Mine..!) B|

    Collar felt is absolutely useless for use on a shed roof. Ms Twelvetrees can supply the list of appropriate felts, along with the requisite forms for felting.

     

    Feltham..? I used to live very near Feltha... Oh, sorry. Felting. My mistake; as you were. :$

     

    (Note to self : clean the felt out of my ears. )
