I've ended up with some bizarre, twisted, math rock, post-hardcore thing. I've eschewed texture and melody for a-rhythmic, jarring nonsense. Should have it mixed next week.

Mines done , I suppose it is a bit of a cheat as I didn't do a lot of playing on this one , but it was great fun putting together , you will have to struggle through my vocal though :rolleyes:

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1389608631' post='2335955']All very Burt inspired so far. I may bow out this month as I can't seem to get inspired at all. Every idea keeps reverting to some kind of honky tonk repetitive ensemble. I will give it another week.[/quote]

Aye, we're somewhat painted into a corner by the images this month... but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I mean, you've either got a country/mid-West number with some reference to the Escher picture, or you've got the challenge of taking the genre from the Escher pic (Techno? Mathcore?) and somehow referencing Burt Reynolds (and good luck with that!).

Like most people I'm taking the path of least resistance and opting for the former :D

[i]Yeeehaw![/i]

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1389735631' post='2337427']Some update problems with 'Soundcloud', apparently; they're 'down'. No idea how long for[/quote]

Cheers for the heads up on this D.

I've noticed that SoundCloud has been temperamental over the last few days. It seems to be running as normal at present.

Good, hope it stays up. This is useful, sometimes...

Good to hear!

I've still got to record parts of mine, but should have it done before too long.

To anyone else who's beavering away... note that the deadline is this Friday.

Me too but the vocal sounds crap through my new interface. (It's the interfaces fault)...... I'm gonna take a break from it and come back to it later. Anybody recommend an affordable but deasent condenser microphone.

For 'live' vocals, and good for recording too, we use an AKG C5 with success. Ours cost 100€ used (one careful owner...). Our other condenser mics are Superlux, but they came in a kit for drums (Superlux DRK-F5H3, $300 new...), so would be harder to find individually. Very nice large diaphragm mics, though (HO-8...).
Hope this helps.

Edit...

There's a set [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERLUX-DRK-F5H3-8-Piece-Drum-Mic-Set-Microphone-Drum-Pack-/390570716371"]here[/url] on 'tbay for a BIN of £211. Damned good mics for the price, imo.

I found some but they are about £80 and not £30. What else do you reckon.
[/quote]

Weird... mine definitely cost around £30 (new) and that was a couple of years ago. I must have got lucky! Or maybe prices have gone up.

£80 sounds steep. Here are a couple of options for C-3s at around £50...
