Hi all - looking forward to the Zoom call later - we'll allow a few minutes for people to get connected etc, hopefully there's no tech issues but I'll keep an eye on this forum thread for people to add a comment if they're unable to connect.

Hate to do this, but I’m going to have to reschedule the call.  Well, I say have to but the truth is I didn’t think ahead and it’s going to clash with the England World Cup game.

Apologies, but it is only once every 4 years sceptic

I’ll check the schedule for the next rounds and come back with a new date winking-1

Can't wait to kick things off!  Here's the Zoom call details - because it's a free account we're limited to 40 mins but I think that's a good thing to keep things concise.

For the first call, for those that want to, we can all spend 5 mins maximum to give a quick overview of our music making background and what are goals are (both short and long term).  I'll go first and see how it goes.

We can then go around everyone and confirm what we want to achieve before the next call and also raise any topics you would like to discuss or get advice on.

First Track - looking for feedback!


Let us hear you!

Well done for finishing! (what's your secret? :-))

I haven't listened to this on proper speakers/headphones yet, but I think the composition and arrangement is spot on for the genre/style of track you're going for.

Re the kick drum issue: It would be interesting to hear the unmastered mixdown before I listen to this one on proper speakers - any chance of uploading that on the forum/community site?

Hi all - thanks for the response - that's great! I'll setup a Zoom meeting

How does the last Tuesday of the month at 6pm UK time work for everyone? So the first one will be Tuesday 29th November.

Cheers

Hi all - now the latest Remix comp has closed, it's time to get back to working on some original material!

One of the key things these comps have confirmed for me is that there's nothing like a deadline to get you focused.

I don't think I'm alone when I say finishing tracks is something I really struggle with. It's partly down to my skill level and getting the tracks sounding how I want. But I also believe that self-discipline and time management is a bigger factor in holding back my progress and improving my skills.

So with that in mind, I wanted to ask if there is anyone else in the members community who thinks they might benefit from joining a group who meet up (virtually via Zoom) on a regular basis to share their goals, issues and work in progress (and finished tracks!).

I think a 30 minute Zoom call, once a month to share what our short and long term goals are and discuss anything else related to making music would really help us to focus our studio time and be more productive, finishing more tracks.

Would anyone be interested in joining the group and/or have any questions/suggestions about how it might work best?

Cheers
Simon

JAFUNK ECSTACY REMIX COMP


Announcements

Here's my entry. Initially I wanted to create a Techno remix, but the original stems were just too organic and real-sounding for that to work. So I still kept the tempo nice and high and went for a housey 'cut and paste' stomper using lots of little snippets from the stems with my own drums and percussion.
