Woo-hoo! Whee!
I received no other entries this week. And I thought my life was busy the last week! I hardly had any time in the studio this weekend, but I did manage to get a track done for this challenge (it's quite minimal, and short)...
(I should have titled this thread "Reason 4!" - heh heh heh. As if we didn't have enough threads with that title already. I received the upgrade on Friday, so that took up some time on the weekend, seeing what it had to offer...can I just say, I have many big expensive hardware synths, but my goodness, Thor doesn't take a backwards step in comparison to any of them. Each synth has it's own flavour and personality and my initial impression is that I'm going to be spending a lot of time with Thor...it's fantastic!)
Anyway, here's my track for the week four challenge - Vocal Love. Thankyou very much to Anthony's friend who allowed us to use her voice for this challenge - you have a beautiful voice, I hope you don't mind that I did things to it...currently I'm doing a lot of learning on vocal processing, experimenting...
Challenge Four
Thankyou to the contestants, voters and everyone who listened in! It has been a great learning experience!

So disappointed that I couldn't enter in this week! Time just crept up on me and before I knew it the deadline came and went.
Well done Fabian!
This is a great competition... I think we could probably tweak how it works just a little and I think I would like to have my record label sponsor it with a decent prize (like a trigger finger/x-session or Axiom?) , and/or release.
PS. Fabian, BTW I am up for a beer, but I am interstate this week.. I'll email you a good day. |

Yeah unfortunately I had to drop out as well since my CPU began overclocking on Friday. Unfortunately Intel will take about 2 weeks to get me a new one, so it seems I'm out of luck till then.
Congratulations Fabian on winning the first season of TAPS Idol! |

Cool, either send me a pm or email me at the fabrikeuropa address, it'll be cool to catch up and chat!
Yes, the way the competition runs can be tweaked...it has been a really good learning experience. I've wondered what it would be like if prizes were offered...it's definitely a big consideration for the next comp. Potentially the timing could be tweaked too...thinking will take place!
Chat soon! |

Thankyou, shame about the CPU! It's so frustrating when technology doesn't work. But computers allow us musicians to do so much...
...yay for winning by default! Obviously not satisfying, but I learned more about the tools I use, doing the challenges and working outside my usual comfort zone. It made me get a little more creative with what I was doing.
...but hey, maybe I can have the words "reigning champion" after my name, in the next competition. Heh heh.
Thanks for entering and producing quality music! We'll make the next comp bigger and better! |

This has been a rather intriguing experience on TA. I would have loved to join the competition if the time constraints were a tad bit more lenient and if my mastering abilities were slightly more successful. You guys planning on trying again sometime soon?! I would love to join. |

| we'll def be doing this again, maybe with 2 weeks inbetween challenges... but probably won't start anything for a few months :) |

Yes, I'm thinking a week and a half per challenge (so two weekends) and two or three days of voting.
As Anthony said, it'll probably be a few months. I wouldn't really want to run into Christmas, we may have a lot of people busy with other things around then, and drop out...
Probably fairly early next year! We'll advertise it quite prominently. It'll be great to have you on board! |

Great! It buys me some time to work on my mastering skills! |

Cuz I likes me some dirta bass! |
