Musical New Years Resolutions

General Producer Chat

Nice one @SamuelClouston for getting us started with this. 
I wish you all the best with that and hope you share your progress on here..
I have 3 goals:
1. Having moved house and I currently dont have a space at the moment that is conducive to creativity - my main goal is to create that space as well as organise my samples to enable a more streamlined workflow. 
2.  I am looking to get a couple of EPs for the end of the year.  (a DnB and a Christmas related one) - mostly adding to what I have already created in that space so thats only a couple of tracks in each style. 
3.  I really want to get my DJ friends to play my tracks out - so my 3rd goal is just to get better and make people dance!

Hi - sorry to complete this late and totally understand if I missed the boat for the competition.  Either way, I'd appreciate any associated feedback. 
My track is a remix of a Ukrainian new years carol "Shchedryk" which is also better known as "Carol of the Bells":

I've listened to all the tracks above and as usual am massively impressed and inspired by the creativity!  Happy new year folks - I hope 2024 is a year of success to you all!

Hi @Rob, please can I check when the cut off time is likely to be? 
I will aim to finish and submit on the evening of the 1st Jan if thats ok..
(no worries if I miss the cut off as Im only submitting to get feedback - think its a little rushed and doesnt quite have the polish that many other submissions have here..

Ahhh sorry I missed it - was looking forwards to some Christmas breaks inspiration (or maybe a break from the Christmas preparations)!
Happy Christmas Rob and everyone

Not an easy assignment, it all sounded too jolly, so decided to move it into a minor key.

Lovely job @transpire - your sound selection on that track is second to none!

@admin - Nice one Rob, that would be extra helpful.  Looking forwards to the stream! [quote="admin"]

In which case @smillington, I will demonstrate how to turn God Rest You Merry Gentlemen into a funky Breaks track next Tuesday in the Xmas stream!

I lost my mojo for ages on that assignment as I found it difficult to bring in complex chord progressions and not make it sound cheesy.    
Decided to use carol of the bells as it was harmonically more straight forwards than my previous choice of God rest ye merry gentlemen.
Am pretty much over the hump now and hope to get it finished over the next week.

Hows everyone else getting on - looking forwards to building up that alternative christmas playlist!

Loving the twist you've put on silent night Paddy - it sounds like the heavenly host it not so heavenly after all -

Ah nice

Found a nice version of God Rest ye merry Gentlemen which I'll try to butcher..

See you on the other side!

Sorry I had to miss most of the session but caught up later.  Was massively impressed at how you just nonchalantly drew out all the parts for the coventry carol Rob!
Am thinking of going down the slightly more blatant route in my submission, but will see how it goes, when I get catch the inspiration..
Also thanks @deltadio and @Rob for all the Ableton Live info - was really helpful. I also checked other videos about Max 4 live as well and see what you mean about that - it definitely looks like Suite is worth the extra bucks.  I think I may still start with Standard and upgrade later - as I can probably work around the gaps with plugins anyway...
