  1. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1474712844' post='3139991'] Blimey! The quality gets better every month. [/quote] some great pieces in there , a hard choice again but I have voted , well done to all
  2. I was about to post earlier that you had been quiet this month , still , I guess being busy elsewhere is on the excuse list somewhere Look forward to the share though
  3. Mine is up now , I didnt go for a wordy lyric but tried to use some sound samples to tell the story , the daughters idea to be honest , but I think it fills the space a lot better than any of my singing would do https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/black-and-blue
  4. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1474134618' post='3135884'] [url="http://soundiron.com/collections/choirs/products/elvish-choir"]http://soundiron.com...ts/elvish-choir[/url] [/quote] Maybe not quite dark enough for me , though the pitch could be about right
  5. I have the bones down now , but I think it needs some vocalisation slapped all over it now , this should be fun
  6. [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1473400384' post='3129756'] I'm only now, shaking off your entry from last month. [/quote]
  7. I have got a guitar effects VST and I'm gonna use it ! I have more guitar and bass effects, amps and knobs to twiddle that I know what to do with , but hey, expect some, loudly, this month
  8. [quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1472910625' post='3125287'] When does voting stop ? [/quote] Normally 7 days , so as it went up on the 1st , Wednesday midnight would be the deadline
  9. After our annual August layoff we had a great gig last night night for a private party in a pub in town , it was in an upstairs function room and we were recommended by the landlord, It was a touch bizarre as there was a band downstairs aswell , upstairs, the party had opened the windows so when you looked out you could see the street rocking and the first floor bar in the hotel across the road had its windows open and they were shouting requests and rocking out aswell !! We have been invited 'darn sarf' to do a party 'at a large house in the country' but we'll wait till they sober up on that one, still we are back at the pub in a fortnight to resume our duties for the punters downstairs , can't wait

  12. [color=#ff0000][size=6]Voting time is here [/size][/color] While It is traditional for the voting to allow up to 3 votes , the entries are a touch thin on the ground this month. The option is there to cast three votes but you can all use your judgement as to whether you feel you need to use them all. Hopefully after the Holiday season the entries will pick up a touch so have a listen to these beauties and cast your vote(s) MoonBassAlpha [u][url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/5umpnm5bry248m7/August%20noodle.mp3?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox....noodle.mp3?dl=0[/url][/u] alternative for MoonBassAlpha https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/august-noodle Agwin [url="https://soundcloud.com/agwin/nil-by-mouth-exerpt"]https://soundcloud.c...by-mouth-exerpt[/url] timhiggins [url="https://soundcloud.com/timothy-terrence-higgins-iv/noodled-haze"]https://soundcloud.c...iv/noodled-haze[/url] Twincam [url="https://soundcloud.com/user-531446910/noodle-no8"]https://soundcloud.c...6910/noodle-no8[/url] Dad3353 [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/bc-noodle-2016-08"]https://soundcloud.c...-noodle-2016-08[/url]
  13. [quote name='RalphDWilson' timestamp='1472748854' post='3123914'] As ever, I'm late to the party - no time to write nor vote in August - no disrespect meant to all the hours of hard work you have all put in. Just listening now.

  15. Excellent work gents both well deserved winners on their own As due reward can you choose your picture(s) for our Septembers inspiration and send me the link or Jpeg . You can do seperate ones, or confer to choose a picture between you . Skol Is away in deepest darkest Wales and is internet free by all counts so I am doing the honours for next month. I will set up the thread when I get back from work this evening all being well. Congratulations again
  16. As Skol is away I will do the honours of the voting thread tommorrow for him so it will be shortly time time for Augusts last orders at the noodle bar
  17. This month has shown a fantastic insight to the inspiration drawn from the picture , from massive inclusivity in a social sense, isolation in a personal sense and some superb contemplative overviews , it has produced the whole gamut ,from fun and frivolous to serious soundtracks and a few in between , quality absolute.
  18. [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1472570514' post='3122223'] Voted..... Mr Lurksalot has ruined my life. I can't stop singing his song and although I would probably chuck a brick at him if I met him he still deserved a vote. I can't say I liked them all, however, they were all well put together. Excellent piece by mr lowdown also, well done to all and hopefully I'll put an entry in next month. [/quote] If you meet me , I am tall , slim but solid, clean shaven and devilishly good looking ........... honest ...... , thanks for the vote , and don't forget .. one on top of the other
  19. That just rubs it in !!
  20. Cheers guys , I understand reaper is not supported , but if I know what I need to do its not so bad , learning how to faff around each time is a total PITA, especially as I want to play with my new toys , not spend 2 hours trying to open the box
  21. I have heard good things about these guys and during a recent special offer giveaway type thing I have bought a few new VST's. , I think they are great and will use them , but the hassle of getting Reaper to load them has been totally off putting. Each time it's the same , the latest attempt being to update reaper and uninstalling waves central snd starting again , is this normal ? If it us I will leave them alone next time
  22. [quote name='fingers211' timestamp='1470944882' post='3109580'] Well there seems to be something in the air this month, as I too have deviated somewhat from my comfortable zone... https://soundcloud.com/nigel-jewell/brooklyne-stinker Nige [/quote] Sswwweeeeeeeet
  23. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1470380251' post='3105538'] It was NOTHING like a regular electric bass bash last time, I played every bass there if anyone can find the picture of the group shot you will see how many basses there were, more than anywhere I've visited so far that's for sure. [/quote] [attachment=225150:IMG_1565.JPG] Hows that then Pete It was a brilliant day , I really enjoyed it. My DB hasn't progressed at all since the event , but that is not the fault of the event It is well worth attending even just to meet those offering up their help and advice. Lovely people, some great stories, a good venue that looked after us, some great showmanship , superb instruments to get a feel of and Owens DB in leopard skin pyjamas , what is not to like ? and having said that , I think SWMBO has family plans over that weekend with birthdays etc , so I think I will struggle to attend but if anyone has the slightest leanings or interest in DB, I would wholeheartedly recommend attending without hesitation.
  24. I'm in , this one came together quite quick for me ! I took a simple approach this month but had a new toy by way of a Waves Doubler which I have used in great abundance Bricklayers Lament https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/bricklayers-lament
  25. Well done Skol old chap , another quality tooon , I too am honoured to have picked up 6 votes and effectively come joint 2nd
