I honestly haven’t plugged anything electronic in in ages. Was hoping this would push me to get back into it, but I’ve been super busy. Might try to get everyone some acoustic (6 and/or 12 string and/or tenor), banjo, and/or m4 noises this week as those are the only things I’ve really been playing.

I am uploading my stuff in this very moment, sorry for being late.
For general reference: the audio files named as Loop (and number) are actually single cycles of a loop, so just loop them with your favorite hardware/software/whatever and then go nutssss. I thought it could be useful

I've uploaded my track "Muddy Underfoot" to my Okta4 Google Drive folder.

I've made an album every day this week too !

Wow, that's fast Paul! I thought that my son and I were doing well to get 1 minute's worth of audio mixed so far! I think Colbrightsunlight's double bass is going to feature heavily on this album; I know we're definitely using a lot of it (although it sounds like we've chosen different parts so it won't sound like we used the same sample). We're also using some of your synth sounds and a lot of ognoy's cello

So I finally recorded some raw acoustic sounds for everyone, including some banjo, 12 string, bowed and plucked Seagull m4, and bowed upright bass. Sorry for being late! Also, they're pretty rough recordings, but I thought they might be fun to process.

It'll probably be a l'il bit before I tackle the sound-mangling, so anyone's mild lateness is okay by me.

I love the bowed seagull (never heard of this instrument before, just added it to my list of things I want to own!). I've added that to the track we're creating already, so thanks very much!

I've made and uploaded a second piece for a bit of fun and to include a few more people's samples.
My daughter is asleep in the same room so I took a selection of clips without listening to them, mixed them up and stuck them together. Other than balancing some volume levels before considering it finished I didn't listen (which I often do when making albums - I've made quite a few where the first time I listen is after the album is published to Bandcamp - because it amuses me to do it).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cgEBaW ... sp=sharing - hopefully that works.
