    Artist Appreciation Competition 2015

    Posted

    I am sorry but I am going to pull out this round. I've reached the point where I am no longer having fun with my source and don't have the time to transcribe & remix another.

    Good luck to the remaining competitors in bracket C!

    Thanks for joining in on the fun and making this competition possible. I seriously appreciate everyone who signed up and was even remotely involved. Making music is very time consuming for sure.

    I've added a bonus download. It contains remixes relevant to the competition and updated songs from previous rounds. If you would like for me to add to it please let me know and PM me an updated version of your previous entries. ~Enjoy

    PS: Jonathan, if I labeled your song incorrectly please let me know. I chose Lanius (Battle) over Lanius (Explore).

    Ok, Round 2 Bravo remixes are uploading.

    Nutritious, there are two schmup stages. I chose this one http://galaxytrail.bandcamp.com/track/schmup-stage. Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll re-upload it.

    Here are the lyrics for gercr's song.

    Lich king speech in the Adventure time show. (ep 1, Season 6)

    "You are alone, child. There is only darkness for you, and only death for your people. These ancients are just the beginning. I will command a great and terrible army, and we will sail to a billion worlds. We will sail until every light has been extinguished. You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength. I am the end, and I have come for you, Finn."

    Totals (I left out the bonus since all three remixers voted)

    ------------

    1st: MushroomSword (25 pts)

    2nd/3rd: Ghetto Lee Lewis (22 pts)

    2nd/3rd: Jonathan! (22 pts)

    ------------

    Looks like another tie. I'm going with Ghetto for this one. His track seems better produced (fuller / more layering) even though the vocals could be improved some. Thank you all for the lovely piano pieces.

    Mike, I think the bell / gong pad type instrument is clipping. That is probably the culprit. Solo it to see and try EQing / gain adjustment. At say (0:15 to 0:17) and (0:23 to 0:25) the reverberations from it are easy to hear going over.

    The song you sent me is on the loudness level of say Garpocalypse's entry.

    I don't know what DAW you use but if its FL Studio 10 this may help out.

    . At least the concepts will definately apply to other DAWs.

    Some music players automatically detect clipping and lower the volume of the track to compensate for it.

    In logic, when I bounce songs, sometimes the "normalize" option is checked. It used to reduce my volume terribly. You could also try using a limiter / multipressor combo on the master track. Take a good look at the frequencies and make sure there isn't any unheard clipping. For higher freq instruments cut the low freqs out with EQ and vice versa with the low freq ones. I'm sure something is causing it.

    If this is bad advice just smack me on the hand and say "bad host". I mean well but there are individuals more suited to dish out musical advice than me.

    thanks. Unfortunately it was much less dramatic than that. I took a fall on some ice, twisted my ankle so hard I broke my fibula.

    Too bad there's only three entries from this week, all piano too, lol.

    That sounds very painful indeed :/

    Ok, For me to better keep track of the prize distribution I've added a section on the first page. If your name is in red then I haven't paid you yet. This is usually due to not having contact information. If your name is green then I've sent you a payment through paypal or mailed a money order (PMing you the tracking number).

    Totals (I left out the bonus since all five remixers voted)

    ------------

    1st/2nd: Cyril The Wolf (21 pts)

    1st/2nd: Nutritious (21 pts)

    3rd: Garpocalypse (19 pts)

    4th: theshaggyfreak (15 pts)

    5th: gercr (8 pts)

    ------------

    After 30 min of back to back listening to sources and remixes due to settling a tie I had to decide on 1st. Both were fantastic in their own way but I'm going to side with Cyril The Wolf this time. For me Cyril's arrangement edged out Nutritious' awesome production slightly.
