šŸŽ„ Christmas Track Challenge

I made another version, hopefully more balanced - worked on the kits directly on the machines and did a new recording. (a little noisy)

please submit your songs, folks- only a few days leftā€¦ but no preassure :stuck_out_tongue:

the few submitted tracks have been great so far

Had hoped to make something more proper, but damn itā€™s been busy here.
Recorded what I had on the little Digis and left it at that, at least thereā€™s something. :slight_smile:

I took the laziest route and just sampled the first youtube hit when googled Jingle Bells and did something that Iā€™m not proud of. Enjoy!

Just finished recording (all live, no overdubs, about 370 takes).
Just a bit of limiting and compression, some auditioning in the car, a bit of last minute tweaking and itā€™ll be ready.
Itā€™s a bit shorter than I would have liked, but a nasty dose of shingles earlier in the month limited my time (as well as two jobs and a nine month old) so youā€™re only getting 2:30 out of me.

Done.
Well, thereā€™s a fumbled transition at 1:40ish but I canā€™t be bothered to record it again.
Just to be clear, this is very NSFW.
Iā€™LL SAY IT AGAINā€¦NOT SAFE FOR WORK.


Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

Sounds like itā€™s based on a Rotterdam style first executed in the early 90s :blush:

That was the intention. Iā€™d like to think if I was 20 years older Iā€™d have been famous (at least in the Netherlands).

Just finished mine. Need to practice performing it (which is tricky) and record it. Will be done tomorrow!

Dedicated to my wife who left me a few weeks ago.
The song is not finished, like our relation.

Octatrack + QY100 + H4N, no daw.
I hope Iā€™ll found energy to mangle this shit with OT one dayā€¦for now, not sure I can do better tomorrow.
