  • Sent in. Really trying to learn the slide, so went for that. not particularly good this month, but it was a good experiment. not my style of music either, so I found that tough - but in a good way. Thanks for the track @paul_c2 ;

  • Sent mine.

    Hopefully it got through because I got that strange non delivery message that happened last month.

    It's not a competition.

  • Mine's sent. I thought I'd better send what I had rather than leaving it in the can like I do most months :) Nice backing again but a bit quick for me.

  • @Mudslide73 did you slow the track down?

    It sounds fractionally slower.

    Not intentionally, no. I've checked the Reaper project settings and it says 1.0 and plays back in the same tempo as I've submitted so I'm not sure what's happened.

  • @mudslide73 It shouldn't make any difference. I don't care :) I'd never have thought it had @Teetonetal mentioned it.

  • No it doesn't matter. Was just interested in how!

  • The thing is I don't normally submit a solo when I find it so difficult - I'm gutted tbh as I was struggling even at that tempo.

    It sounds the correct tempo on my system and I just checked by tapping the tempo into my metronome.

    It's not a competition.

  • Wierd. Must be my ears. Start of a long slow decline perhaps!

    In Reaper there's a master project rate that can be changed (what I was alluding to above). There's also a pitch match setting that re-samples on the fly to play back the track (faster or slower) at the original pitch. You can then render the whole mix at the new tempo if you want. Those radio commercials with the impossibly fast T&Cs at the end are done this way I think. 

    The thing is when I played mine back again I was convinced it did sound slower!

  • Just sent mine in.  I found a friends wah pedal that I didn't know I had.  Turns out using a wah is much harder than it looks!!!  Probably ought to give it back too!!
