BBC News Music Remakes

I'm very much reminded of the midi version of the countdown I found on Napster 10+ years ago...

Clearly you're choosing not to take advice and work hard perfecting one piece of music and instead churning out much more of the same....

I've perfected the countdown and now I'm perfecting the regional music.

Pretty sure you have not 'perfected' the countdown

Hi, I haven't posted any updates on this thread for a long while now, and today, I am posting an updated version of my BBC News Countdown remake.

This is version 9 and the last version I posted on this forum was version 7. I felt version 8 was too similar to version 7, so I didn't bother posting it.

The main focuses of the improvements this time round are the bass and percussion. I have really looked into the more advanced instrument settings in Garageband to achieve a better bass line. These changes help make the music as a whole feel more authentic. I have chosen to upload this to YouTube as unlisted so you can visualise how my music and the BBC News countdown graphics would work together. There's also a link to an audio file in the spoiler.



This will be the last update to any of my music recreation threads for a very long time. I will no longer have access to a Mac from today onward as I am leaving school soon. I did mention on my Good Morning Britain music thread that I have started looking at different Garageband alternatives for Windows, but I have now decided that I will stick with Garageband and come back to using the software when I buy a Mac in the future.

Please continue to give me feedback, as I will use it when I update these music recreations in the future. When I do buy a Mac, I will be able to use Garageband plugins and use a more up to date version of Garageband which will hopefully help me improve my music a lot more.

Hi TVForum,

Here are a few updates to my music that I made this year but never quite got round to posting.
