Yuck. This week's theme is decidedly uninspiring. Not bashing Darke for choosing it, just surprised that a Mega Man game would have such a crappy song.
Time to bring out my turd-polishing equipment! Yes, that means I'm mixing for the Concrete Men this week.
-
Then I'm reminded I wanted this source. Grr.
Not my fault.
-
Jason's been showing me his WIPs all week. Y'all better be scared, since there's some seriously cool stuff coming from Mr. Covenant.
-
@SuperiorX: Yeah, I plan to revisit it and hopefully sub it, once I get it all filled out and re-polished.
-
So hyped for this release.
-
In fact, I've decided to replace every instrument part with voice instead. Who needs rhythm guitars when you've got "CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA?",.
-
Vocals? In game mixes? Yuck.
I know, right? What kind of idiot would do vocals in a video game remix? The nerve.

Standing On Top -- ... The autotuning is obvious; not sure if that was intentional. My god, you have ridiculously awesome production quality. I want my music to sound that clear
TEACH ME.Heh. I'd be happy to teach you a few things, if possible, just hit me up on MSN or AIM (details on my profile). Helping OCRers with production techniques seems to be my destined path these days, haha. I like helping.
Also, yeah, the autotuning (actually, it was a combination of Melodyne Uno and NewTone) was blatantly obvious on purpose. I'm not a terribly good singer, but I sound passable as long as I tune the snot out of my voice. Been doing that a lot lately, trying to make a vocal-driven EP.

I would also appreciate whatever WAVs you received for A Sorrowful Separation and Battle Motherfried.
You're almost speaking as if Jade owes such a thing to you.

Project mebers dont een have it yet... wink wink...
by the way this netbook is terrible
What can I say, man, perks of going in and getting my grubby hands all over every single track (whether mastering or simply doing gapless playback).
-
Did you purposefully tag your song as "feat. Prophecy" just to annoy Jason Convenant? Cause that would be pretty funny.
I'm diggin' the track by the way, nice job guys.
Derrrrrrrp. No, I didn't. In my defense, I have him as "Prophecy" in my AIM contacts, and I was incredibly sleepy at that point.

If anyone wants the lyrics to Standing On Top, I'm just gonna post 'em here:
(Verse 1)
Blood
Pain and suffering
I can see
Trails
Paths I’m covering
Mercilessly
Every hour I breathe I falter inside
Still I’m pressing onward
For the ones who survived how many have died
Climbing free
(Verse 2)
Light
Thankfully I see
Pathway’s end
Regal sight
End of my journey
Hope again
Though my body is tortured I’m still so alive
I have made it through this
Dreams sustain me, the truth I cannot deny
I am free
-
Yuck...listening to my track after a decent night's sleep, I'm not incredibly happy with how some of the mixing turned out. Whatever, that's what happens when you work on a song for 12 hours straight, haha.
-
Done. Sent. Need sleep.
-
This song IS shaping up. A bit more slowly than I'd like, but it's going, and it will be excellent when the time comes to submit.
Also, I am drinking caffeine for the first time in two weeks. This helps.
-
I WOULD be the one to mix during finals week, haha. Hopefully I can still pull something out of my hat in the last couple days of mixing.
-
Having been listening to this album for the last several months, I can assure you all...it's gonna be one of the best to ever hit OCR.
-
I haven't enjoyed a solo piano mix this much in a LONG time. Stunningly gorgeous job here, sir Squint.
-
I'll be bringing the insanity for the Concrete Men this week. Hit us with your best shot (and then wring your fists in pain as your flesh collides with one metric ton of solid cement)!
-
I'm glad I managed to nail the sound I was going for- I just had no idea it would be such an unpopular style
Ah well, what's done is done. Thanks for taking the time to do writeups!The Nirvana riff in your track was basically what made me sit up and take notice of it in the first place.
-
I absolutely love how this compo is bringing some of the lurkers out of the woodwork. C'mon, the rest of you! Join in! We don't bite...much.
Seriously though, I'm really stoked at the quality of music coming out of here both from my team (whom I am very proud of so far) and from everyone else (y'all are making this stuff INTENSE!), and I'm sure everyone can say the same.
-
'Fraid I gotta side with the Orlouge here. Dunno what kinds of music you'd usually listen to on your local elevators, but any time I hear the words "elevator music" I think "canned Bossa Nova," A.K.A. some of the most boring music on earth.

Wow. A lot of REALLY nice entries this week. The guitar-driven ones seemed to be especially strong. Here's my top three, plus runner-up:
ONE:
AMT's song really hit me with a dose of "that hit the spot," especially with the Nirvana stylings partway through. You know how sometimes you hear a song and you're like, "Screw reason, this song ROCKS and I love it!"? Yeah. That. This is the kind of song I'd stick in my car, roll down the windows, and blast at full volume.
TWO:
Of course, I couldn't leave out the lo-tempo halc track with a Willrock solo. So delicious. An argument could probably be made that this is, indeed, dubstep. Well-executed and I love it.
THREE:
Rexy and Strader, that was some of the best VGM metal with Caribbean undertones I've ever heard. Agree with some others that the vocals were a bit too loud in spots, but clean that stuff up and sub this and you might well have a front-page winner.
RUNNER UP:
Lidawg, had you cleaned up that solo towards the end, you might well have crept into the third-place spot in my vote. Really dug your entry, and honestly the guitar tones were part of what made it for me. I'm a fan of lo-fi "garage/livingroom" rock music and yours had a lot of that vibe to it.

Mouse soloists are where it's at. Represent!

Part of this contest for us artists is being able to make a song that grabs you NOW. If that's what influenced your early votes, then the artists did it right. Songs that "grow on you" (and I've found a few myself which were quite enjoyable) are great, but I don't really think they're the purpose of this contest. Don't worry too much--there's nothing at stake besides bragging rights in this game.
