Well done Douglas and get yourself back in form soon young man . @upside downer as a deserved runner up, if you could provide the image for inspiration I will post it up later

There’s no issue with you not doing them of course Douglas , just a note that it was brilliant when you did 👍

I never really go too deep into voting , I generally like something or I don’t , though I do listen more to the entries than I might of a random composition of a similar style. I like to hear lyrics , but not essential , production similar it doesn’t have to be professional quality , but it is easier to listen to if well produced . style again is not a tick box for me , if it is fun or clever or just makes me tap my feet or nod my head , they all count If anyone puts an entry in or composed a tune , then the picture will probably have inspired it , so I take it as read , though often, noises or lyrics tie it in further. critique would often be good , but another layer of involvement that might be a push with most, @Dad3353 did do a review of entries at one point that were superb , but probably took a fair bit of time and effort , it was way more than I’d be able to do!

I have one , I really like it , it’s my go to bass ,SG style . funny enough I had not really heard of them until a few years ago , then hooked up with a mate who we had jammed with when kids , and he plays a smith 6 string guitar.

I’ve managed to commit to 3 as much by sticking a pin in the list, but it’s done 😎 one criteria I did let influence me , was lyrics , I love to hear the story telling aspect of the tunes , but I do need to hear the words , I think there’s a few of you should be a bit braver and bring the vocal slider up a few db.* *I realise that is a touch rich considering the proposed vocal on mine didn’t materialise

I’m going to need another couple of listens through these 1..because I am finding it difficult to whittle down the preference to 3 2.... I really enjoy listening to them my voting system goes on points based allocation when it is as close as this , but these all get pretty much the same points

Well f**k me furiously, I've had a good run through these now and that is a proper collection of most excellent toonage of the highest order, fair play

the voting thread is up guys but then, as I have tagged you in it, you probably already know that

Now that we have finished off the minces pies, chocolate and cake we have our January offerings for your enjoyment. Have a look at this picture from november's winner @Doctor J and then have a listen to hear what sort of toonage it inspired Please choose your favourite 3 toons and tick the boxes 1 @xgsjx 2 @Leonard Smalls 3 @Dad3353 4 @Doctor J 5 @Nicko 6 @upside downer 7 @lurksalot 8 @MoonBassAlpha 9 @skankdelvar Best of luck, its a really good listen through here The vote closes at midnight on the 31st Jan

Another fine crop of compositions 😎 I shall set up the voting thread on my return from work this evening

I am going to post it up , but I'm still hopeful of some lyrics and a bit of guitar to add from a couple of guests , but I'll have to wait and see about that . Until then

It might seem odd but I’ve never seen it noted anywhere that it actually has to be musical at all 😂 Being an inclusive type, I always thought a poem or short story would qualify , spoken and recorded of course , but they would of course be composed. and then , just maybe, one could put a bangin’ donk on it 😎

What a beautiful tale !

How do you add another screen without slowing the whole shooting match down to a crawl ?

Interesting , I wonder if the Amazon fulfilment in this country will still be deemed from Luxembourg ! maybe they’ll have to start paying uk tax now 😂

Wear a loud shirt and a hat , sorted . we played a food festival in NWales a few years ago , boy did the guys have a laugh when the following year yours truly was the poster boy 😂

It’s a PC and I do think that the antivirus causes issues, that is my first port of call , I’ll suss out a lightweight free one in the next day or two

I do try doing a lot of that , buses , gluing sections of takes , rendering midi to audio etc I also turn off the internet while I’m doing it !

The machine is the main family PC , it does need cleaning up a bit I’m sure

I’ll follow this , but I really am struggling to understand the detail of what you are all saying I will need to do something soon as I am starting to get glitches when recording with a few FX /vst’s up . so I probably need a more efficient way of running the thing. I do have workarounds by turning FX off till I need them , but I’ll need to sort it properly soon

At the last bass bash up this way @tommorichards was playing a Kala U-bass through one into fridge as I recall , big smiles all round 😂

Heavy metal ?

Well yes , finding the carrier bags dumped under the canal bridge for instance , always a treasure trove ..........it just seemed so natural at the time 😇

Wherever, as long as they are as safe as you need them 👍

I guess that would depend if you ever wanted to remix or rework them. if you are happy with the wavs and /or mp3s you have then just keep some backups safe somewhere
