    Yep :wink:

    @GusGranite Any luck with your crashing? If not, give us some more info and maybe we can help figure it out.

  • I hit the wall at the end of last week and this weekend listened to all my efforts... was so massively disappointed I thought I might just give up... took the weekend off then this morning just muted several banks and listened to it more minimalist... alright, back in business. I was suffering from classic 'way too much shit syndrome'.

    So easy to do this. I’m working on a track at the moment. Had this too. Stripped it waaay back. It’s now hot. (To my ears ) very pleased.
    @ronji love what you did. Would go into more detail but realise you’re not allowed to or whatever the deal is. But it’s good 👍

  • Only 5 sleeps to go :)

    Putting the finishing touches to mine.

    so I wonder how many entries we are expecting this weekend.

    Fingers crossed we should have submissions from all the following...

    @ronji
    @tk32
    @d4d0ug
    @GusGranite
    @Audiogus
    @denx
    @groovey
    @nkdVKNG
    and @starpause (maybe/hopefully?)

    If so, this could turn into one of the best voting rounds so far!

  • Fingers crossed =)

    ...and done.

    My track is mixed, exported, mastered, dithered, printed, uploaded and waiting to launch.

    Thx. I exported the tracks to wav. Imported into new session, and automations are working again. Not sure if I hit some sort of limit.

  • @tk32 we can always count on you, bruv! ;)

    @GusGranite glad to hear you've got a possible workaround? I'd be surprised if you hit a limit. I did have a crash when I went to record some automation, which spooked me, but it hasn't happened again. I'm not really sure what caused it. I wonder if it was just a combination of things going on, CPU/RAM usage, and some special sauce.

    It's been great having vocals to use. Every time I make purely instrumental music my tendency is to add too many melodies rather than just let a rhythmic/bass groove develop.

    It's been so refreshing to make a track that shares equal partnership with the vocal, and as a result.. I'm pretty sure my skills jumped several notches during this one.

    The sound quality and light-touch EQ/limiting are much better this time around too (imho)

    Level up!

  • Good afternoon,

    Dropbox or Soundcloud set to private for sharing?

  • Awesome @brambos (Abides) has given me a code for his new plugin for the winner !!!!!

  • @Gravitas soundcloud is preferred for easy listening, and you don't have to set it to private, just I guess don't post the link in here till May 20.

    @5pinlink awesome!!

    Nice! (although I bought it 17 seconds after it hit the AppStore...]

  • edited May 2018

    Hmm.. should I hold out on buying Perforator now --based on the remote prospect of winning this one-- or am I just kidding myself?

    S'pose it depends how many horses are in this race! ;)

    (that'll be me faceplanting, btw)

  • Is there also a prize for the first entry to get blocked by Soundcloud bots :)

  • 1 day until release..

    Who's planning to drop submissions tomorrow? please reply and let us know...

    According to songkeybpm.com/Search?q=Alicia+keys+butterflies this one is

    D flat minor / 156 bpm

    Here are the main chords used:

    INTERESTING... alpaca site says this

  • It's definitely C#/Db Minor. Back on page 1-2 of this thread I shared a scan from the Alicia Keys song book, which confirmed the key.
