Entertainment and the buzz that you get from seeing people enjoying I guess. As we do covers as a band, we don't feel the need to record it, but it surprises me that if you do original material , some sort of recording is not an integral part of what you do. Surely its a creation you are proud of and want to have documented , a bit like like family photographs , you may not want to post them all on the net or hang them all on the wall , but you know where they are . Little bits of documented history make us, and our future generations who we are. I think 'can't be bothered' is a shame TBH

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1367144224' post='2061589'] Just watching this on Youtube: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qQnGfZpIfY[/media] One of the comments says it all - [b]All citizens should be required by law to listen to Lowell George and Little Feat 'Waiting for Columbus' album once before proceeding on with their lives. [/b] [/quote] I love Little Feat but I have them on vinyl, and to my shame , have not got digitised any of it . many thanks for the kick

I have always had an itch to scratch with song writing , and the competition in the recording section on BC has given me a kick in the arse to record something and produce it . My stuff doesnt amount to much in the real world, but it is my stuff , and the start of another learning curve , and if creative things rub off on the family ,that is another good spin off . said with all the authority of a total noob to the art, who only recorded his first note in December

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1367167926' post='2062033'] When you agree to do any form of paid work for anyone, you should agree a deal which suits everyone. You might agree to a deal where you get an even split of the fee, you might agree a standard fee. Whatever is the case, that should be that. That's it. End of story. There is no fair and unfair, there is only the agreed fee. If either party doesn't like the arrangement, they can stop working together. Simples. [/quote] this is it , in the real world if an organisation has to hire in staff that aren't part of its normal crew , it expects to pay extra , but it is negotiated , the parties have different agendas, coming to an agreement is all that matters.

I believe she was Olympic in proportion to some others, and maybe , the whole world got the chance to appreciatte and download a few tasters, that may, or may not have had influence on the numbers game, but at some point the music seems kind of judged by the numbers ,

which one ?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1367193214' post='2062498'] Or at least [i]seen [/i]it. [/quote] Oh sh1t does that mean Ive got double vision aswell

Me , I LOVE it here , the knowledge ,the openness , the willing to share and give freely , the p1sstaking , the retaliation , the characters , the musicality, the lessons , the caring ,the help , the PMs , the telling offs , the ocassional vote ,the diversity and yet all with the a shared interest of the low end , did I say......... I LOVE it here .

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1367188756' post='2062461'] I havent had a chance to download it, but I got the PM, and another one, which I also havent had a chance to downbload, I'll let you know when I have so you can get your cloudy space back for whatever else you might want it for... [/quote] It could be mine , if you want to check the volume feel free , I did a radical EQ session and it seemed to enable a noticable hike in volume without busting the Kmeter

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1367181221' post='2062351'] De ja vue sweetie [/quote] I'm sure I've heard that before but On topic , Its not the sort of bunch I would want to join .

Cheers Paul , do you need special compressors for that trick , or should the std Reaper ones have that sort of functionality. I like the track too

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1367059493' post='2060737'] WEEKEND BUMP! ...why don't you switch off your TV set and go do something less boring instead? [/quote] I did, and I would like to thank Mr Skol303 for pointing the way to this marvelous competition. Thank you Mr Skol303 for pointing the way to this marvelous competition .

I am sure it will get there at some point but it is a bit stuck in Stoke ATM , dive in dudes , Chris is trying to move it on .

urgh , sidechain gates and compressors , I have entered a mix but will have do some further reading , I have only just got the fundamentals of EQ in my head , so thats pretty much what I have done

Hmmmm , I have already voted , so I guess that is me in the clear

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1366821595' post='2057699'] Yeah, it is a meter, it does nothing but show you how loud the track is (in a very average level way), set it to not go over 0 and you're done, render that. Simples! [/quote] I dont really get the meter thing , sorry , I can level the volume to 0db on the meter and render it to wav , if I insert this wav to into a new project and K-meter it , it is at -16db , It sounds quiet to me , but I am unsure how to get to a definitive level now !!

Wow , a great entry this month, I will need a couple more listens to a few of them ,

Sounds excellent, hope it goes great

It might seem odd , but I am not sure I can do much to what is already there , OK I get what Skol said about the number of dulpicate tracks , but there also seems to be a full LR mix on stems aswell Now I have done a few bits and will do a few more , but I am leaning toward a 'less is more' vibe with this one . Will I be cast into satans pit if I said that I quite liked the track

Fair play Bob , that is a big sound , lots of presence in there , and mainly plugins? this is stuff I havent got a handle on yet ,but think I should at some point . the topic is fine bud , it teased 8 entries , even with lighter evenings and work getting busier In all seriousness though , will the entries suffer when mundane sh*t like the garden, and outside chores, and making hay etc while the sun is shining , and golf (WTF) but hey , and riding a bike , and summer in general tempts the musos out side ? PS .......wear sunscreen

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1366672279' post='2055897'] It's got a sort of 'country' feel to it… yeah, sorry for using the C-word there … which is probably a hangover from the choice of track in this month's mixing challenge (I blame you 51m0n!). [/quote] Its another great entry there my man , I have just had a funny moment though , my daughter loves getting involved when she can , she is 12 , but she was sad when she saw your post , she said she can't listen to your song because you used the C-word !!! I only just realised it was C for Country

Cheers Skol , It was a bit of fun , but I wont let on what the accent was supposed to be , suffice to say an accent was all that was needed I was quite pleased the way it all sat in the mix , and I was surprised how well I could disguise the tone of my own voice for the 2 characters , I will listen to the others now , and then get stuck into the mix comp
