Announcing... RiffMasters!

Alright….here’s my “rap/country/rock” mashup.


I’d like to thank Cake…for giving me the confidence to take pride in my natural rap style.
This recording/mix was done using only 3 effects plugins:
A plate reverb on a vocal effects bus.
EZDrummer 3.(when the electrics kick in, after the triangle strike)
A “mastering/limiter” plug on the main bus…a factory preset called “Soul Enhancer”.
No eq, or anything else….I'm fairly certain that could be a criminal offense in some places.

The rap/country intro was done completely with acoustic “instruments”….These “instruments”:

These were the other stringed instruments used….

This was some crazy shizz to put together, and it was recorded while it was being written.
I don’t have a pic of the lyric sheet yet…
Oh, yeah! And I finally got to “reverse selected item as a new take” near the end….that was fun.
I don’t know where to start!!
I’m floored, entertained, and hungry.
Redrum!
 
I am unable to get it to play.
:confused:
Hey @Mitch Pearrow SJMP …I just grabbed my phone….
When you hit the link, if it asks you to download the app…just say “no”…

If it asks you to accept cookies, just say “no”(I missed the opportunity for a screenshot)…

You should end up with this…

Press play.

I hope this helps…
 
Can’t type anything in when I am there, because my keypad won’t come up, and I went through the process of signing in 3 times, found the snail in the dumb pictures, then it would show your piece but it would get blanked out before I could push play.
I give up ..
 
I thought the voting was going to start at 7pm? Where do I listen to everyone's submissions? Where do I vote?

You shouldn’t need to “type” anything. You should just click the link, continue to the website, and press play. No permission necessary… I swear. I am so sorry for your troubles @Mitch Pearrow SJMP .

@Thatbastarddon
I believe it's 7PM CST this Saturday for Dirty Dirt. But you have until the vote ends to get your reggae in (so an extra 48 hours or so)

Just found out a half hour ago my wife had made a dinner double date with some friends of ours for Saturday evening, so the vote thread start may be a bit delayed.
I had asked the other night…I had some scheduling issues.

I did get it to work, no need to apologize bro, you know I am not a tech person, and I get confused easily with all these gadgets, an what not..

Sorry fellas, social obligations.
IT'S TIME TO VOTE!!!

Here's your RiffMasters "Main Event Round 3 "Dirty Dirt" compilation thread, ready for your review prior to votin'!

Country music has changed drastically over the past few decades via other popular genre influences in a bid to widen appeal. Seems to have worked rather well for some artists, also deeply irritating for the genre traditionalists.

Competitors were tasked to create a "Redneck Anthem" incorporating at least two of these theme elements,
Heavy Rock / Rap Hip-Hop / Country
An extra two points were available to any who were cleverly able to incorporate all three!
But, ... This vote right here is your chance to to weigh and measure the submissions overall.


Some were more rock-flavoured, some more rap-flavored, and an extremely interesting variety of takes on this problem. Quality of submissions bar was yet again raised! I am so proud of all of you fellas, it was a busy round, lots going on.

Here are the Ten Main Event Chapter Three submissions in order of appearance:

Liveevil2000 - City Slicker Cowboy



Sapient - Two Turntables and Some Homegrown
