The Weekend Production Thread™

[Electric_Head]

you are quite clearly on a bank wknd.
while I`m working

[wub]

Ah yes, I am indeed

[Electric_Head]

we have had to put all of our Jaguar work on hold because of that damn bank holiday

[wub]

Eh, I'm watching 24 on repeat until the 48hr production contest timeframe starts, then might give that a crack

[Electric_Head]

I`m going straight home to work on the 48hr contest.
It`s monday night so my wife watches private practice, brothers and sisters, and such crap.

[wub]

I'm never really too sure about my ability to put a tune together that I'm happy with inside of 48hrs. I mean, fair enough getting a basic structure together, but it'd need to be an idea (almost a gimmick) that I was happy with. Not sure how easy it'd be to come up with an idea inside of 48hrs etc etc and process it correctly, unless I went down the experimental pathway and tried something really off the wall.

Was reading an interview with Lynx earlier, so something like a Disco Dodo style off the wall thing could be an idea. I'm trying to formulate ideas whilst I'm sat here, lol.

[Electric_Head]

well if you remember my track from the last 48hr contest, it was very experimental in terms of my final product.
I focused more on the bigger picture over individual elements.

[wub]

That's fair enough, although I don't recall specifically your track from the last contest if I'm being honest.

I think I'm over analysing my need for a hook element before I can launch into the project tbh

[Electric_Head]

yeh, I realised after I posted that.
Our tracks were anon.

Spent most of the weekend doing a remix for some indie band... realised that by urban the mean hip-hop not purple, and now I have a sick remix that has to stay private, and a whole remix to do again. It's never the same the second time round....

Aside from that I'm spending the last 2 weeks before I move to uni finding out if it is possible to actually get internet pussy, thats what I did most of the weekend... Mainly because after the downpayment on my flat i can't afford to go out.

[FSTZ]

bummed I missed this thread, I would have gladly contributed. (perhaps next weekend)

I finished a remix over the weekend and dropped it in the club on Sat night

it went over well, a little too much limiting on the mixdown but that's an easy fix

if you wanna check it you can listen here

[deadly_habit]

put the finishing touches on and released an album (link in sig) and got some headway made on a few unfinished tunes and started on some more ambient pieces

[jaydot]

Every day is a production day for me.

But extended weekend = extra time to produce for most peeps. Made my first track in Reaper that I'm happy with dunno about the quality of the file/conversion though

Copy the drum pattern twice so I've got three copies of it, then slight varation on the drum programming to drop in every 4 bars to keep the beat varied. Going very well this is

Why have I never thought about this before?

[Mammoth]

Made 5 new kicks, 3 new hi-hats, and 2 snares in massive/fm8
Making drums is like really fun

[djake]

Ive been working on a track most of this weekend, also went on a picnic with family and sat on hill that supposedly a giant lived on and was then chucking bolders at another giant on st.michael's mount which can been seen from the hill I was sat on.

Good old cornish legends
