Building a composition with multiple cooks in the kitchen

Good drums, droffset! You didn't use compression on the audio, did you?

[droffset]

Thanks, it was fun to make.

The source might have been compressed but I think it's pretty clean otherwise. Here's the source:

Oh, OK. I was kind of hoping for fresh creations from folks on this board rather than samples or loops...

[droffset]

Unfortunately that would require a good microphone and recording setup, which is unavailable to me at this time, so I improvised a drum kit.

Someday I'll finish my DIY drum synth build and replace the samples.

I almost feel like I should apologise for being unnecessarily picky.

[droffset]

Nah, don't worry, I'm used to getting direct feedback.

Lately my project has been to get this drum synth thing built up and find ways to 1) perform with them live and 2) have midi controlled triggering. Huge project, taking forever.

Also I own a TR-505, but recording live performance via Audacity was giving me some strange latency problems that made it really confusing to get the tracks lined up properly.

But I've gotten into trackers and chipmusic too, specifically LSDJ and Milkytracker. Milkytracker allows the use of samples so I went around hunting for drum kits. Amen provided a kick drum sound, a snare, and a hihat. A TR-808 supplied a crash. There are grey areas I guess, but I did work hard on matching the tricky tempos and created my own beats for this piece.

EDIT:
So when I offered to replace the samples with home made ones later, I wasn't being sarcastic, lol.

Anyway, it's all for fun and the joy of making music.

[nobody]

Yep. It is all fun!

Right, so we're ready for more parts. Who wants to go next? I can post the mix we have thus far if needed.

sorry im late, here's the juno synth piece that was in the mix previous to the drums as a wav file .
cooked portion is a few days old now but still plenty time before the 'best before' date expires he he.

Sounds good to have a mix and see what we might be missing.

I'll get one together next week - hopefully early in the week. We have to go up to my GF's parents' this weekend to watch the animals while they're away.

is it a Bear / Rattler / Cougar or a more domestic Cat / Dog / Goldfish arrangment ????

[nobody]

It's one lovably cute, but large, spoiled and rambunctious English Setter who doesn't know the meaning of words like "off", "no" and "leave it". Also, one old indoor/outdoor cat. Plus us two humans - the biggest animals of all.
