Might be my phone then. It’s been doing it since the thread started.

Anyone else having trouble visiting the voting thread? The loading bar gets 1/2 way along & only shows the first post, resets & repeats a few times & the goes to an error.

I’ll give those two a listen. I agree that we’re there to serve & support the congregation in worship, but we’re meant to make a joyful noise to the Lord, not a lame one. I’ve seen that video a few times & I’d much prefer to be worshiping with that jam behind the vocals than the actual song. 😎

Amen to that. Worship team politics & restrictions can put many good players off. I took my Seaboard along a few times last year to add some synth bass. In not so many words, I was asked not to keep bringing it, so I don’t. I don’t listen to much of the stuff played in our church outside of church (mostly Hillsong & Bethel stuff). I do like Elevation’s Paradoxology album though, but again, it could have been better.

I’ve recorded a few sessions with my church since lockdown. Usually we record 3 sets of 4 songs (1 set per week) & as there’s quite a few musicians it means I won’t be on YouTube every week. For the last lot, I had a quick squiz at the songs, saw that they all followed a mix of 1, 4, 5, & 6 and didn’t really do much to differentiate from each other, so I gave them 1 run through the night before & that was it. Why is the majority of white worship music so uninspiring? There’s musicians in our church who have been playing for years & only know the basics because they only listen to CCW. Had CCW taken some pointers from gospel, then they’d likely know a good deal more.

This popped up on my Facebook.

DHL Customer Service can't be as bad as Hermes? If something happens, there's NO contact info for any sort of customer service with them. The seller has to sort it all out. When I lived in Perth, Yodel seemed to be the better of them all. Parcefarce were pretty crap too. Best of luck with getting the bass.

I got a little time today, so I've added some bass playing.

Got mine done. I'd have loved time to lay a bit of bass, but just too busy. If I get time before the deadline, I shall update it. But for now, Enjoy. I've tried to create what I picture being played. Logic supplied a great alien vocal for it too.

Well done Dad. You set a high bar.

Yup, it was not easy to choose 3. I like that every entry is a different genre & actually good songs in their own right.

Got it done. Really happy with the sound too (sounds great in the car). My view of the pic is night driving, passing the large spruce & seeing it move to the rhythm. The song goes through a couple of changes & then heads back from where it began. It was originally 124 bpm, but to get it under 5 mins, I had to make it 126.

You’ll be glad to know that I had no time to record me singing. 🙁 Ill post my track shortly.

For that, I’m gonna sing! 🗣

Mines is a laid back house vibe. Night time driving past the trees. It’s getting there.

You can still sing much better than I can. 😂

& here's me expecting a song about a Douglas Fir. 🤔 Nice track. You've set a high bar.

Good to hear from you Shep. It’s been a while. I know how irritating it can be to lose stuff to the internet. Where it’s there, but you can’t do anything with it. Hope you’re keeping well & still play bass.

Well done NickD. Got one of my votes too. Looking forward to a Fir September. 🤠

When I used to set up PA, the choice of reference material would depend on What was going to be played. Quite often it would be dance music, so Groove Armada’s Vertigo or Goodbye Country was a good reference.

Just been listening to this in the car. Brings a little tear to my eye.

I know. 🙂 I removed the original track & uploaded the new version with the same name, which causes the embedded link to go funny for a few hours. It should be okay tomorrow, but there's a link straight to Soundcloud if you want a listen - https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/this-was-how-it-felt

I've added some lyrics to mine. Bought myself some samples, so not me singing. https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/this-was-how-it-felt

I think I've got mine's done. Though I might go back to it at some point (another that I'd like to put some lyrics on). I've tried to get that French JM Jarre vibe & give it a sense of mystery (like the black cat). Anyway, it's electronica, but not sure you could dance to it...

Lemon is better than Orange. 🤠
