It comes as a bit of a surprise to me how so many of these tracks have a dreamy feel to them.

I like where you’re going with this @mightlife.

We have 12 days to go.

Is anyone else in the process of finishing a track that hasn’t been submitted yet?

Here is Stephen King’s home in Maine, USA. Not seen in the photo are the spiders and whatnot on the gate and iron fence around his home.

I am…but I admit I haven’t started yet… so far I just sampled the soundtrack.

I’m working on an sp-forums battle beat now, which is due 10/22, once I’m done with that I’m going to work on this one.

I’m for sure submitting a beat, going to start working on it this weekend :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been trying to put something together but two jobs and a seven month old are conspiring against me.
I might have something in a week or so but it will be shit.

@Fin25 and @Sharris, best of luck.

Mine came together pretty quickly once I got the movie sampled, hopefully yours will as well.

Tangential Halloween thought:
I used to be super into Phish when I was younger… Not so much anymore but anyway…
On Halloween they would put on a ā€œmusical costumeā€ and cover an entire classic album… Examples: The White Album, Quadrophenia , Loaded, Remain in light…
I like the idea of a band dressing up as another band… :smiley:

@Open_Mike, are you doing a track for this?

Ahhhhh…
Haven’t had a place to setup for a bit now… Hopefully that will change soon.

Is this being judged? (as in a winner)
Or is this just for fun, keeping us creative.

I did it just for fun, good exercise for me to make some synthwave and do something different. The requirements make it entertaining.

Yeah just for fun though I’m happy to take feedback to help with future efforts!

I like these for making me focus and finish stuff. And because I’m down in London for a weekend of getting stinking drunk and NFL I really had to knuckle down this time to get it done on schedule.

Yep, putting finishing touches to what I hinted at previously, but also altering the pattern to create A, B, C sections.
It has been aaaages since I have worked with samples in this way and it seems that things are coming together quite well. It’s great fun on the DT and the way the challenge forces you to be creative has helped!

I think I need to ā€œstudyā€ the genre’s a bit more. I admit 99% of what I make is hip hop…the other 1% just happens, not sure what genre it would be under.

I took a break from the sp-battle beat & started working on this last night… really liked where it was going…but it sounds like trip hop. So back to the drawing board.

I knew this was going to happen. But this is 1 reason I really want to do this challenge. & I’m not gonna say screw it & just make a hip hop or trip hop beat. I’m going to really try to make something that is synthwave, vaporwave or cinematic. I believe in myself! :blush:
