Great work! Sounds so vintage

Sharris · December 5, 2018, 6:47pm

I’ve never done a cover, def want to take a shot at this!

Beautiful rendition @amku. Hat tip to you for being the first to submit a track.

Ryan · December 5, 2018, 8:20pm

Quite excellent!

So, everything is going well? A lot of songs on their way? No snow here, maybe I needed a for inspiration, so I began yesterday.
I hate people cutting trees…

I started this week, will work a bit on it now, lets see how far it gets…

Fin25 · December 9, 2018, 5:08pm

Mine’s coming along nicely.

It’s the shit.

Should be done on time.

I’m planning on participating in this one also. I thought I’d use my DT, but I just got my OT yesterday, so I thought I’ use it. I’m not sure, though; I hope I can figure out the OT in time to create something (it’s a challenge just to get started). I may have to revert back to plan A (using the DT).

sezare56 · December 10, 2018, 2:28am

Challenging indeed! Good luck, be strong!

Sherelle · December 10, 2018, 2:56am

@sezare56 If you, or anyone else, have any tips and/or suggestions, please feel free to share!

Struggling so much to get a live set together for a Jan 2nd gig, I may not be able to join in on this one…ceartainly will be watching and voting though:)

sezare56 · December 10, 2018, 7:02am

Include it in you set!

sezare56 · December 10, 2018, 7:19am

Don’t eat fish!
It’s like you are in a flying plane without pilot knowing how do drive it.

Sherelle · December 10, 2018, 8:50am

@Sezare56 LOL! Not quite what I was talking about, but, okay.

If you’ve got tips/suggestions on getting started with the OT, please feel free to share. I’ve gotten as far as making a set and a project. I also have some loops loaded into some slots. Trying to figure out putting these loops on actual parts and tracks in order to play and hear sounds.

P.S.
I’m in the process of reading the manual and watching videos (there’s a bit of a learning curve with the OT - plus I am still new to Elektron machines).

sezare56 · December 10, 2018, 2:59pm

Avoid Parts for the moment. You can plock samples instead (Hold trig + Level knob).

Don’t hesitate to ask in OT category.
There’s a Noob Question thread.

Sherelle · December 10, 2018, 3:09pm

Thanks. Will do.

defenestration · December 14, 2018, 1:29pm

thanks @sezare56 for posting this challenge, I had a lot of fun!! It has been a long time since I have covered a song, and I thought it’d be interesting to see if I could get the melody to come out of the sine wave machines, and it did! sort of . . .

I also sampled all the sounds I designed for this piece, go here if you’d like to download the free pack

Melody is clear! I found it so much more difficult to do a Cover Challenge than the last one, trying to keep the melody recognizable and making something cool was the main challenge.

Sharris · December 14, 2018, 8:41pm

This is great amku, def inspires me!
