Battle 91 - Animal Battle

OP-1 Battles
1

Alright!

So, since I’m a bit pressed for mental power currently, I went and found a lovely post @kln put together almost a decade ago with a bunch of battle ideas and found this one that resonated with me and sounds like it would be a hoot! (pun unintended!)

-Animal Battle-

  • Boring Rule(s):

    • All recording, mixing, & mastering to be done in the OP-1 or OP-1 Field
    • Normalization, fading in, & fading out in a DAW or audio editor of your choice is allowed.

  • Fun Rule:

    • You must use an animal sound sample in your track.
      (bird chirping, dog barking, whale song, crickets, etc.)

Cool! When’s the deadline?

Best,

Oops!

Uh…

Let’s shoot for 7/31 with a hard cutoff of 7/7.

That gives plenty of time and even a potential 3-day weekend for those in the USA.

Wow - I’m not sure what was going through my head when I thought that up…

Let’s try that again…

How does 8/4 - with a grace day of 8/5 sound?

Also open to any suggestions :sweat_smile:

Moving the date to whenever - doesn’t seem to be any interest in the battle at all.
Hell, even I haven’t done anything for it yet (life has been hectic and busy)
Godspeed fellow music-makers.

I’d love to get back into the battles again. Just haven’t had the time. I always follow along though. Maybe I’ll get back in sometime. This is a fun brief.

I never submitted and we are WAY past the original deadline…what do we think as a community about Battle 90? Open it back up?

I kind of left the date open - since nobody has submitted I would definitely consider this battle open.

Let’s revive this thing!

I saw elsewhere on here that @joeyfivecents has returned and is craving some battles, and to be honest so am I!

@vehka - you want in on this?

Let’s say the new due date is by the end of June 6/30/25?

I’m in! But perhaps a week or two more time, please? I can try end of June too, in a pinch.

Yes! Count me in!

12

Awesome!

Yes - let’s go with a due date of 7/14/25 - that should give plenty of time for everyone.

Round 2… Fight!

2 days left - how’s everyone coming along?

Me?
I’m a master procrastinator and haven’t done much - yet I’m (perhaps foolishly) feeling fine.

Ack, procrastination, work, and summer gardening have taken over…any more time?

@psound74 Perhaps…

@joeyfivecents @vehka - How’re y’all coming along on this?

Here’s my entry for the battle just for fun :slight_smile: Recorded everything into and on OP-1 field as well as mixed and mastered inside. I used some bird whistles, too, as per rules.

Well - @rudolphrapid - I don’t think there’s any point in voting - you’re the winner by default.

I hereby relinquish my title of most-recent-battle-winner to you and hope in my heart that I am not remembered as ‘the one who killed this almost 100+ combo’, but instead as I prefer ‘just some guy with a beard on the internet’.

Thanks. Can we call it an easy win? :smiley: I’ll take care of the next battle.

Really sorry for dropping the ball on this! Summer was a bit more hectic than I imagined and I had no time to touch my OP-1… :frowning: Congrats @rudolphrapid for submitting and winning! :grin:

Yes!! I am so happy to see the battles start again! I’m sorry I missed this one. I haven’t been on the forums as much since so much of the conversation moved away from op-1 after op-xy. Count me in on the next one!!
