I know the due date for this battle is tommorw but i have aslight problem. I might not have internet service yet. I’m at my brothers old PC cause my ISP has faild to get my online so far at my new house. IF you could just bare wiht me i’ll post as soon as i’m online.
What? does this mean that if i submit something i will automatically win!! alright!!! j/k
i wouldn’t mind if the date was extended a while, as i have not done anything impressive… Ive done a couple loops, but none that i think would win. perhaps another week would allow me to get something good? what say?
that woould be cool by me. I might be online tonight i minght not be back online till next week.
Well im happy with an extra week. Im on a temp computor for a while until my one is finshed being upgraded so i prolly won’t be able to put my loop in flash. So will it be okay to have it just as a download (you’d get better quality)

I just caught this thread. If the due date’s been officially extended a ways beyond June 7, please count me in. This sounds like great fun.
I have a few questions / thoughts …
-
What criteria will be used to judge the winner? Are we targeting a certain style, tempo, vibe … ? Maybe future battles can be more specific? Just a thought.
-
Compositions should be COMPLETELY original in both melody and rhythm. If we’re just splicing someone else’s work on top of another program’s drum loop … hmm … seems sorta lame-o. Maj is right – comps should be hardcore original. The playing doesn’t have to be entirely organic, but the musical arrangement does. I wonder if I’m making any sense!!! (-:
-
Can we just submit the mp3?
Jeff
Here it is:

This is copyrighted. Completely original. That’s my voice in there hehe.
Oh and if you have a subwoofer, kick it on. This baby rocks.
I’m not quite clear … are you saying you don’t want anyone stealing it!!! :trout:
Lol sorry yeah…lol I guess I should have got out my big red “I’m a jerk don’t steal it” stamp. Sorry for being over the top. I deleted that other one. 
LOL. I was just bustin’ yer chops there. 
What program(s) did you use? I’m pretty heavy into Nuendo, but Samplitude is looking better and better.
I used Fruityloops 3.3 - I used Sound Forge to do my voice, then brought that into fruityloops. Oh and during the trippy little break there’s a drum loop in there that I made with a demo of mixman studio.
Now how is nuendo? i have heard of it; samplitude I’ve heard of.
The main ones I use now are Fruityloops and Cool Edit
Well i made the drum loop in mine and i carefully layed it over a 2 second sample off a timeless classic so if fits just right. Surely thats as creative as doing something else but useing your own work…
As i said, il post mine and im sure if people think its wrong they won’t vote.

Nuendo is great. I’ve enjoyed learning it. Samplitude is more transparent though; more depth and punch than Nuendo. I use the Aardvark Q10 for my soundcard and breakout box. It’s been great for home recording.
How long have you been into digital recording? Ventured into the VST arena yet?
On another note, have you checked out the Studio Projects C1 mic yet? Killer mic, rivaling the expensive German classes, only waaaaaay cheaper. Amazing vocal mic, especially considering the price. It does really well on acoustic guitar too.
When’s the deadline on the battle?
Jeff
thats awesome prstudio! it would sound perfect on a design site! one thing though: are our submissions supposed to be created from loops, or are they meant to loop continuously?
looping or non looping i don’t think it matters now at this point.
I think the new date is the 14th if i’m not mistaken?
sounds right to me; that would have extended it a week i think -mod?
It’s Friday the 13th. Deadline is June 14. I’ll have my little ditty posted tomorrow. Hammer falls at 11:59pm, right? (-:
… If I’d only stop tweaking the bass guitar … :hangover:
Jeff
It’s June 14 … 10:45pm MT. Just in the nic of time. :rambo:
The file size is rather large. We musicians hate compression.

Best with a good pair of headphones.

Oh boy this battle went belly up. I totally forgot and half the other people in this battle have missed the deadline also…
Its a shame really

Belly up? Hmm … Can we just make a new one with better rules and guidelines; something more “official” perhaps?
This one was pretty “official” but i geuss it would up to a mod. I listened to yours Dex and its pretty good. It reminded me of some 80’s rock and roll. Well done.
