Thank you RT and UJAM for hosting the contest.

I made some drum and bass.

Indeed!

And to remind folks, the deadline is May 6 11:59pm Stockholm/Bremen time (before it becomes May 7, Central European Summer Time).

So for my timezone (Eastern Daylight Time), that would be 5:59pm tomorrow for me personally if I were submitting. If you're on the west coast in the US, on Pacific time, then your deadline is 2:59pm.

Just be sure to lookup your timezone in relation

Anyone else having problems with this thing? I'm trying to jam with the Rowdy and I can't change style. Everything plays the same. Changing presets changes the sound but not what's being played. All my other RE's and VST's seems to work fine. This is a challenge indeed. :p Is it only me?

Please be aware that C0 to B1 selects "Common Phrases". These are basic phrases that are useful in a wide range of genres. These don't change if you select a different style.
C2 to Bb2 select "Style Phrases". These change if you select a different style.
Maybe you had a "Common Phrase" selected while browsing through styles?

Thank you for hosting this challenge Reasontalk and Ujam!

I used all the virtual bass plugins. I used the instrument section of all them plus the "Heavy Accents"(Rowdy), "Soul" (Mellow) and "Alt Pop Rock"(Royal) patches.

Full song:


Isolated Bass:


Thanks again!

Thank you Michael for taking your time helping out. I had some initial problems but I managed to make a song i'm very pleased with in the end.

Here's my entry. I decided to try to use every Virtual bassist RE in my song. It did become quite long, but I just couldn't help myself trying different stuff and testing the RE's on different genres





In the "verse" I've used Virtual bassist Royal, Reason drum kits RE (played with my e-drums and quantized quite a bit, lol), A-list Pop chords + JPS Villanelle for the funky guitar, Radical keys, a couple of Stringwerks, Re-Tron & ChamberTronRE etc.

In the "chorus" I've used Virtual bassist Mellow, a couple of beats from UJam's Beatmaker Hustle combined, some synths etc.

In the final part I've used two Virtual bassist Rowdys (one for the main heavy riff and one for the baritone-guitarrish melody in the end), a couple of ReSpires, Superior drums 2 for the drums, recorded some vocals and guitars (the latter played with Kuassa amp RE's) etc.

I had fun making my entry. The Virtual bassist RE's give you great results very quickly, and if I were lucky enough to win one of them I would have a really hard time trying to decide which one to pick

[SoulState]

It all started with a patch in Mellow called "Easy Bounce"...Played around with it for a while and came up with this.

[joeyluck]

Thank you all for the wonderful entries! Now it's time for the judges to vote. Good luck to everyone! Stay tuned!

I had also started something for the contest but did not submit again because I was busy with other things.
