Dad3353 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Well done; I [i]knew [/i]you could, and you [i]have[/i]..! We'll pardon the 'word' (alternatives were available, though..! ). It's going to be more hard choices this month; as usual, it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the boy Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1434804440' post='2802930'] cheers young fella my lad, I have now had a listen through to all the others so far , and yes , some superb stuff in there , very listenable and enjoyable. well done all so far [/quote] Now then, now then, now then...... The game has been taken up a notch. Rhyming "annoy ya" with "lawyer" was class but to follow that with "beck and call" rhymed against "what the heck n all" was pure genius. I really hoped this picture would take things in a different direction and I've not been disappointed. I'm working on something but I've been travelling a lot with work so I may not get it finished. Hopefully though. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 cheers , there are loads of daft rhymes in there , I actually looked at some of the rapping technique , a lot of it is very clever , I can't listen to much of it for very long, but clever nevertheless innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 [size=4]Finished!

I'm especially pleased with the piano sound - mainly because I had no idea how to mic it up (!?) and so simply removed the top panel and placed my cheap (and only) condenser mic facing the hammers. I then manipulated the recording into what you hear on the track (lots of EQ'ing and careful reverb).

BirchTree Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I was a bit out of my depth this month. I came up with something two weeks ago, was unsure if I wanted it to be my submission or not, but still liked it enough to post. Fast forward 2 weeks, after many (failed, vain, put-adjective-of-your-choice-here) tries, I have to fall back on my first work. That being said, I'm still happy with it. [url="https://soundcloud.com/jaedry/thrash"]Family Discourse[/url] I like what the rest of you guys are doing though, some really creative entries considering the narrow scope of the subject.

So if you're suffering from insomnia, then go for it. [quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1434977913' post='2804317'] like this one, the piano sound is awesome [/quote] Thanks Rob! I was surprised at how well it recorded. I'm going to experiment with different mic positions to see what range of sounds I can get out of it.
