I'd love to come Vince... thanks for the invite... but I'm doing 6 days at Rainbow Serpent festival this weekend :-P    YYYEEEESSSSSSS.  Going to be insane.  No idea how going to submit a WB with no phone reception and car blockaded in! lol  (Thinking of taking the bus to a "pool party" on the Sunday arvo which puts me temporarily near reception)  HAVE FUN!

ORIGINAL POST (now updated)

???  I'm (was) having issues in Chrome with things not playing back :-/   When I click tracks or link to them it just lands on the home page.  If I try to press play.... same issue.  It seems that anything linked to the embedded player just takes me to the home screen.  But the files will download ok... just not play. 

Firefox works 100%  (but it's not my standard browser because I suck)

See http://ctrix.net/wb/wb-02-cap.wmv  for screen cap.

EDIT: Cleared all cache / history and now it works.  I'm guessing related to cached Javascript

Reaper. 

Best thing I ever bought!  The MIDI / VST support on it has come along way too and it makes a great host.  That said - I don't have any VSTi's other than one acoustic drum VSTi and a freeware orchestral thingo.  I do everything else on the Triton / Prophet / DX7 / MC909 as I like actually making my tunes by manipulating raw waveforms and pitching the odd thing around if it's out. (which is why Reaper!)

Hehe.... Aday - you're a bit keen mate to get going mate!  It starts in 2 days I'm pretty sure... (I don't think you can upload until then)

The goal of Weekly Beats is a little different (this time) for me.   I completed weekly beats in 2012 so I see it as mission accomplished!!  My goals back then were to make 52 quality tracks I was proud of and use every instrument I owned.  And I managed that.  But it caused a few problems like I was forever pulling all nighters (because of being a perfectionist and due time 10am monday morning).   WeeklyBeats burnt me out while I was on tour and put some huge pressures on relationships.  I probably took about 40 days off work and turned down a few jobs - but that 2012 in a nutshell - the year of the Weeklybeats.  So for you first timers, all I can say is GO HARD!  Push to the edge and make this your year.  It's an awesome thing to do, once.

So this year I'll do it while I can and while it's fun, but if I don't have time or if I have better things to do then I'll skip a week.  Or fart into a delay pedal and loop it for 60 seconds (I'm sure littlescale has already secretly done this and released it as an ambient album). 

3 basic aims this year:

- More guitar
- Pull drum kit out from storage at least once (been 8 years since it went in! I don't even know if it's still there)
- Do something featuring vocals (which terrifies me)

Good luck everyone!!  See you in 9 days :-)  (First week def the most exciting)

Rad!!!  It's a shame I don't currently have enough HDD space :-P   Also have to wait for a new month to get our download cap back up.  Thanks heaps though!

I couldn't put my finger on a best track.

But:
Favorite texture :: the guitar sound and micced up cab in this.  Don't know why!  Guitar intonation waaaaay out meanwhile...
