consonance

Wow, I liked this song a lot. I tend to enjoy the heavy metal remixes, but this really takes the cake with the drums. Wow, those drums. When I first heard them The Flashbulb came to mind. The guitar could be better, since it's very synthy, sort of high in the register. It could definitely be thicker, but it does its job. The ambient synth that provides the background is there, just as in "Undersea Palace." There's a big difference in expression between the background there and the background in "Chronodyne Marine." The tone is really what carries the song, because admittedly otherwise I wouldn't like it so much. At any rate, good job.

...The site has been around for months, a couple years even. It's even been Slashdotted. It's great for a site like OCR, because all the samples require is being credited. If you want to use them in a commercial song, the samples have to be edited first.

I try listening to music. If it's lyrics for the music I'm writing, I'll listen to the mix I have so far. Otherwise I'll open Winamp and play something until I find what I want to write. Then I'll stop the song and write from there. Of course, when you do this you run the risk of letting the song's lyrics influence your lyrics.

I suppose I hadn't joined the forum by the time whenever you were talking about this, since I don't remember you having done so before. I'm sorry if you think I was rude in my last post, because I can see the potential of a site with higher resolution mixes. I just think that using FLAC is going overboard.

If you want to use torrents to distribute high resolution songs, so be it, but let me tell you that there is no reason why this would even be desirable. First, FLACs are big. Yes, they are maybe half the size of WAVs, but it's not economic to store that many, except for archival purposes. No one wants to have a music library filled with FLAC files. You can't tell the difference between a 320 kbps MP3 and a FLAC, so why bother? FLACs are only good for live recordings, such as the ones at dimeadozen.org, where you can find bootlegs of concerts (legality disputed & distributed via BitTorrent). I really doubt that people will listen to songs to find points where the sounds are slightly muddled by compression. If people do, then they're missing the point of music altogether. If you want perfect sound quality, listen to your record player.
