Same here.  Well, mine is decent-sounding, but not yet for release…

Seems we should just make the due date indefinite…I’d say to turn them in when everyone is able to, and we will set up a poll once some of them come in.

Well it’s a day late but here’s mine… Happy New Year!

Sweet effort. I have to listen a few more times. Have to get used to the guitar after the first break. When one is so used to the original it will take a few listens before this registers. But it was really well done. Love the bass at the start.

Legit!  Sounds great, and I love the beat and the bass at the beginning.  How do you get such clear and punchy drums?

Cheers!  Main tips I have for drums are:

- Good original samples (the Vengeance packs are pretty solid)

- Effects - UAD 2 card has the best I’ve used (Fairchild, SSL E are both good compressors)

Then obviously it’s all down to choosing the right samples, sequencing, layering, eq etc so it all melds together - but the above give a pretty punchy sound.

Really really liked this track DreamsOfNarcose! Very clean production. Is it slightly slower than the original? It’s so different from the original, less loping, more ethereal. Good work! So far you’re in the lead!

Thanks Jahful! 

Yeah I think it is slower - I didn’t actually check what speed the original was as I only used one sample which wasn’t beatmatched -  the voice.

Just to update,

The status of the contest is this:

  Since the contest deadline has passed and everyone (including myself) has yet to turn in their submissions, we will wait until we have a few submissions and create a poll to see whose song everyone favors most!  We can then add later submissions as they come in.

Excited to hear the tunes!

Well, after a recent move to Nashville, a new job, a new apartment, etc, I will finally get back on track with my mix!  Can’t wait to finally have something to show.
