🎃 Halloween track challenge

Not looking good for me… I’m trying but I’ve had next to no time on it.

Lets say midnight local time and I’ll call for a vote on the 31st. I doubt anyone will complain if you’re 4 or 5 hours late though. Most are pretty agreeable around here.

Mine was chopping along nicely until last night, when a late night session on the lemsip turned it into a bit of a techno banger.
I think it’s gonna be a late night tonight getting it to at least resemble the appropriate genre.

Come on @finalform, you got this. Go university finals style if you need to!

konputa · October 28, 2018, 6:15pm

Don’t scrap the techno banger. I want to hear that one too.

Fin25 · October 28, 2018, 6:23pm

Don’t get excited, it isn’t very good.

That’s what Lemsip does to you! Sounds great while you’re on it!

I procrastinated…did 2 other battles this month (I get too excited & cant turn them down). Thinkin I had plenty of time for this 1 then the due date snuck up on me.
I got 2 ideas in the works…might do a double feature…just wish I spent more time on them, but I’ll finish it up tomorrow night & I’ll post whatever I have done.
A lot of tracks submitted, thats awesome! Cant wait to listen

I think if people have some type of song / track that is even close to done, upload it! Even if it’s outside the genre. I had next to no time to work on my track and then Red Dead Redemption 2 took over, but I’m still gonna upload by tomorrow. Not my best work ,but oh well

konputa · October 30, 2018, 11:11am

@Cepheid, I agree. Let’s hear whatever you did , even if you feel it isn’t as on point genre wise, or isn’t complete, etc.

@Sharris, good luck.

I’m pleased to see that so many tracks were submitted.

guga · October 30, 2018, 3:54pm

here’s mine, haven’t had much time to work on it, hopefully it’s enjoyable

konputa · October 30, 2018, 4:43pm

@guga, excellent! Can you tell us a bit about how you produced your track? Did I hear guitar and bass?

guga · October 30, 2018, 5:12pm

yep, should have added that to the previous post…
i used the OT to sequence two sounds coming from the Blofeld, played one more sound from it using a MIDI keyboard, the AR takes care of the drums and for lack of a bass guitar, i used only an electric guitar instead all recorded in a DAW where i added some compression/FX

guga · October 30, 2018, 5:14pm

…and thanks, i’m glad you liked it

Snipecatcher · October 30, 2018, 5:42pm

This has been a fun challenge. Never done one before, but look forward to doing it again sometime. Lots of great submissions!

amku · October 30, 2018, 5:57pm

Yeah it was fun with all the nice synth sounds all over the movie. Not scary or halloweenish but very 80ish

konputa · October 30, 2018, 6:01pm

I’ll compile the entire list of tracks tonight (hoping a couple more are inbound) into a single message and we call for a vote tomorrow.

Sharris · October 30, 2018, 6:20pm

I’ll have my track done & posted tonight before 11pm WA time, hopefully earlier.

Fin25 · October 30, 2018, 7:46pm

I’m about to record mine. It’s going to be done live on the living room floor into my laptop, so will likely be mixed and “mastered” to Lars Ulrich standards circa 1988.
I currently have no idea what’s going to happen, the finished track will be about 50% improvisation and 50% incompetence.

I regret nothing.

konputa · October 30, 2018, 7:57pm

I can’t wait to hear it.
