Ok. :thumb:

[Rollo47]

Man, was I lucky to stay in League 2 or what. Nearly tarnished my record of having never been lower than League 2.

Better record something decent for the next one.

[Rollo47]

I liked it too, but it seems that it was not for everyone. Too trippy and spacey, I think.

[katana_manatee]

It was pretty trippy, that is why I liked it. Oh well, just avoid trippiness next time then.

This next round should be a lot of fun, although I am prob gonna get my arse raped. :lol:

[Rollo47]

Yeah. Meh, I'm not too fussed because I didn't get relegated :p

League One isn't so bad, really.... if you've got a decent piece, with decent recording quality, then you've got nothing to worry about :p

[mr_coffeekiller]

I think I'm gonna have to pull out something a little special to take 3 in a row... Although it's been getting closer with each round. I thought I was going to get relagated for a while in the last one! And congrats to katana_manatee and SixnStones for getting to league one!

[katana_manatee]

Paul I get surprised whenever you don't win a league, your music is just phenomenal, you are actually becoming one of my favourite bass players and not just of this forum.

But good luck to ya anyways. I look forward to hearing the piece. :thumb:

[sheephead]

Man, I'm pretty gutted I got relegated, but I've got a good piece lined up (he says) for this one.

[katana_manatee]

Yeah, it was a shame you got relegated man, it was some funky stuff as well, you woulda been my second vote. Good luck for the next one man. :thumb:

[roee_co]

i'm having trouble deciding which song i should use this round

congrats to coffee

[mr_coffeekiller]

Man, I'm pretty gutted I got relegated, but I've got a good piece lined up (he says) for this one.

Maybe you should save it for when you get back to the first league and write something different for this one... if it turns out stronger then use the one in the first place... um, you know what I mean.

[BenJammin]

I got destroyed last time, but I'm not deterred. I'll give it another go, once I write a new song. :thumb:

[:amaze:]

I'v actually been progressing a little on the piece i'm currently working on ... there's no reason i can see that i won't have something ready this time.




:amaze:

[katana_manatee]

Right, I deleted my post with my entry to this next league, I am gonna re-record it, write some melodies for it and stuff and I might do another piece. So I'll put something forward nearer the time.

[roee_co]

ok guys this is really embrassing
I recorded myself rapping into a song i wrote yesterday. i have full lyrics and everything and its recorded.
now yeah i know what you're thinking, jewish guy with an accent raps? sorry but i couldn't find anyone to do it for me lol

"Nerves"

lyrics:
Verse 1:
I gotta make my way downtown down south
When I heard a scream two miles apart
There were these two guys on the road and i thought what will happen if i joined the mob
I forgot about myself and I lost control
Could not believe that I was on the roll
Feeling happy was my curse and my nerves were blown
but I couldn't believe
I was too close to call

Chorus:
It makes you want to lose your mind
It makes you want to touch the sky
It makes you want to lose your mind
So you better watch out or you might just be gone

Verse 2:
Yo this life is like a dream all you need is a pill
To make you go in circles and disappear
Just because of the guys on the side of the road
My temptations were strong and I lost all the words
These nerves of trust These nerves of love
Just happened to be one big funny joke
When I started realizing the people I hurt
This life I was given was already thrown

[katana_manatee]

Roee: That wasn't too bad, sounded strange hearing someone rap with a Jewish accent, but hell it works. :) I like the backing, some nice schtuff going on there. :thumb:

[roee_co]

[muthafunkabass]

:h5:

[muthafunkabass]

That was awesome!

I dont like rap, but it made it the song fun.:lol:

The backing tracks were great, ~very groovy~

hehe thanks man
you know what's funny? i'm not so into hip hop either. i apperciate it but never listens to it

[muthafunkabass]

same here. hip hop i can tolerize, gangsta rap; not so much. :-/


btw i didnt spell tolerize right, did i?

[SixnStones]

really glad i got into league 1, but it's gonna be an absolute mission to stay there, :S

EDIT: Matchday 12, doesn't that mean this is the Matchday Anniversary?

[Az_Holl]

:lol:

I believe 'tolerate' is the word you are looking for.

[katana_manatee]

On matchday 13 it will be. You have to finish the twelth league for twelve months to have gone by, otherwise we are just in its twelth month, like had it started in January it is now the start of December

Good luck for next matchday man, this will be tough for all of us.

[SixnStones]

^o yeah, clever. you too man

[sheephead]

Well, technically the first matchday was on April 18th last year so we're not quite there yet. The first few matchdays were a couple of weeks apart rather than a month.

[mr_coffeekiller]

11 Matchdays - wow I never thought it'd get this far! Thanks for all the support everyone who entered and to those who voted.



And Three cheers for Sheep for running it so well!

Hip hip!

[SixnStones]

Hooray! hip hip!

[:amaze:]

hooray! hip hip!




:amaze:

[roee_co]

i thought the league won't hold long but it did and its just getting better each time

[Rounder]

hey guys, Im usually over in the guitar forum, however I do play bass due to lack of a bass player in our band. And I am quite lacking in that department. Was considering joining up to get some feedback and some help. I don't have any solo bass recordings, but I could come up with something easily I think.

[Killer Fridge]

awesome, the more the better :thumb:

i would enter, but im a bit too crap at creating grooves, or anything interesting :(

might cover something and enter it this time

[BenJammin]

That didn't stop me from entering last time. :thumb: It's good to give it a go, if for nothing else other than the criticism.

[SixnStones]

Hand Reflected in a Sphere (http://www.soundclick.com/jpuk)

[skingle]

God, I have no idea what i am going to come up with this round. We shall see what happens, that is if i enter at all.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Did that many people stop entering that it's down to 3 leagues?

"Geneva"

Bass and drums, couldn't be arsed to put other instruments on and the solo sucks tremendously. Recorded with my fretless jazz copy.

link fixed.

[sheephead]

I'd say the same amount of people still enter. Before there were about 12-15 entries across 5 league, whilst now there are 12-15 entries across 3 leagues. Could be wrong, but that's what it looks like.

[BenJammin]

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=418754

Static.

Maybe I won't suck as badly this time. <_<

[-whitey-]

hey all,i'm new to these forums,but i'm a regular to music forums alike


i'm interesested,this is a free for all compitition?the last online compitition i was in,i was in the finals and i think the site shut down lol

so how can i take part in these compititions?

and i'm a bit hopeless when it comes to using a new forum and its layout lol.so if i dont reply in the next day then i've lost this topic :S lol

[sheephead]

It's free, man. Glad to have you aboard. Just post a link to a song you've composed that's got some somewhat prominent bass in and I'll put you into a league.

[-whitey-]

thanks man

www.soundclick.com/madskaterfc (http://www.soundclick.com/madskaterfc)

i would like to use the song secret smile as my first entry

[SixnStones]

aghhh, was it just me or were lots of that out of time? :confused: otherwise it was very kl

EDIT: your entry against black bassist is quality, personally i prefer it to secret smile

[-whitey-]

yes..i lack the certian mental metronome lol

and i've not set up my soundcard properly,so i couldnt play a metronome loud enough :(

but thanks anyway lol

[mikethecoug]

"Song"

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=371306&songID=3543490

[-whitey-]

cool,but turn down the compression a bit,or any filters you have,the runs were coming in to quite

and check your levels before recording,theres a lot of clipping,causing distortion,but apart from the actuall sound quality it was good

[-whitey-]

so...what happens now that i've added my song?

[katana_manatee]

You get added to league 2 or 3 and you give another piece the following month. If you come 1st or 2nd in league 2 or 3 you go up to the next league, bottom one goes down. In league 1 the 1st person wins and the last 2 descend a league.

Ah, but it all depends on how many people enter:
1 entry - automatic winner
2 entries - one goes up, one stays
3 entries - one goes up, one goes down, one stays
4 entries - two go up, one goes down, one stays
5 entries - two go up, two go down, one stays
6 entries - two go up, two go down, two stay.

For one the winner is champion and if there are say 4 entries then one goes down, 5 two go down, etc.

I should add that if you fail to enter on two consequetive matchdays you are automatically relegated.

[katana_manatee]

Ahhh, thanks for clearing all that up Matt. :thumb:

[Thumper]

Ok then i guess i will be in i did the comps on the Taborama forums and did ok but

[katana_manatee]

CK's computer is screwed up right now so he asked me to choose an entry for him from his sound click.

I'll put forward How to Construct a Track: http://www.soundclick.com/coffee

I hope his computer gets sorted out soon.

My own entry will be entered soon when I have finished it.

[Thumper]

man every1 here is helluva better than tabo

even zoso would find it hard
:uhoh:............................."runs to get Zoso"


i think him and Joe would do it there machines

[sheephead]

I should have my piece recorded by tuesday since there's a lecture strike then and I can kick up and bass one off.

We do need more entries than this- pretty short on numbers at the mo.

[muthafunkabass]

I might be able to enter. I know I'm gonna do terribly.:(

[SixnStones]

^ terribly

[muthafunkabass]

Sorry.:(

[Manticore Guy]

I'll put mine in soon enough. Hope I do better than last time:p

[katana_manatee]

Mine should be in later in the week, if I have finished the piece... If not I'll just have to wham in something from my soundclick. At least I have a few originals now, bit sloppy mind...

[BenJammin]

I'll put mine in soon enough. Hope I do better than last time:p

You and me both. :lol:

[Rollo47]

"Pieces"

There's some weird bits in there, tonal-wise, but if you can get past the dissonant chords, I think it's quite a good one.

[Lt Fuzzy]

hey, im not that active of a poster, but i read here lots, this seems like something i may b able to do now that i have some softwear to record, ill try to get something up by the 10th, wont b the greatest, only been bassing for a year (guitar 4 2, school band 4 4)
I could use a little advice though, the rythem of the song i want to record has to slide on the bass part, and i have roundwound strings so it always makes that sweepy kinda noise, how could i get this to stop happening

[Rollo47]

I'll change my entry to "Latin".

Same URL as above.

I'll save the other one for another round.

[katana_manatee]

Right, due to getting tendinitis and not being able to record anything new I submit New Evolution: http://www.soundclick.com/katanamanatee

If I get very lucky my hand might be healed enough in time to record something new but doubtful.

[Rollo47]

Whoah. I never saw that crazy face in your avatar, Katana. All I ever noticed before was the coffee cup.

[katana_manatee]

Whoah. I never saw that crazy face in your avatar, Katana. All I ever noticed before was the coffee cup.

:lol:

It is too much coffee man, check him out: http://www.tmcm.com/comics/

You do get other random strips though without tmcm in them though, just check the archive of stuff.

[Manticore Guy]

Alright I worked a lot more on this one than my previous entry. Hopefully it'll get more than one vote...:lol:
