D&B/Jungle Battle #7: UNC0MM0N T1M3S

I’ve found doing these time signatures on hardware is much easier, not exactly sure why

This will be a last minute thing for me…. Lost myself in some Jamuary jam which always took longer than expected and totally forgot to work on my track. But I will still try….:slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah I got waylaid by Jamuary too, and then dataloss.

I’ve been pretty busy with the daily(ish) jams but I finally got around to working on this battle last night and made some patterns I really liked. A good start!

I’d taken the Digitakt into the TV room to watch The Pit Stop with my wife while I worked on patterns. Around midnight I turned off the DT without saving the project, unplugged it and moved it back to my desk. Dumb of me.

When I just turned on the DT, it’s forgotten everything since the last save, and those patterns have all evaporated! I guess I unplugged it too fast after turning it off?

So anyway, obviously I blame my wife for this. Or maybe my cat. Or Bianca Del Rio. Anyway, not me.

*(I know I do, all my stuff so far sounds like chiptunes.)

I wish I was smart enough to make D&B in something other than 4/4! I’m just an innocent bystander here to cheer y’all on.

Sorry, I was just liking your posts so that you’d know I notice and appreciate your efforts.

I’m actually way too burned out from doing 2 battles in December and then part of Jamuary to really have anything left in the tank for this.

You guys have way more motivation and much higher self-esteem for competition than I do so consider me impressed.

Looking forward to hearing the playlist though and also thanks for the shout!

Don’t run yourself ragged in an effort to fill the void. Don’t let it determine your worth, because that is not a measure of your value, it is only an indication of the amount of time you have to do many things, and music is just one of them.

Your efforts are noted and appreciated by many people here, and if you’re feeling fulfilled in what you’re doing then that’s all that matters, but anyone can burn out creatively so please keep that in mind.

Man I wanted to but I don’t even have ideas worth recording, let alone a full loop or song. This month took a lot out of me for work and personal reasons and I’m gonna have to bow out again. I swear one of these days I’m actually going to finish one of these.

Argh sorry folks I have all the entries in and over to Alex getting mastered but my own track is sitting unfinished on my HD because I had a bunch of job interviews and studying to do this week.

Playlist is coming soon I promise!

Congratulations on the job interviews! I hope they went well. Job interviews and studies are clearly the priority.

Look forward to listening to everyone’s efforts when the playlist emerges.

Send it to me half finished and pretend it’s a minimal tune!

Mixdowns on everyone’s work sounded really good on a quick listen through, not much levelling or anything needed!

Hey that stuff takes priority, congrats!

I‘m not sure about my entry…… poor mixing choices or bold sound design decisions. :wink:
