  1. it's GPL. his plea that people don't use his software for music that goes against his religious beleifs is just that -- a plea.

    he can't mandate it without changing the license.

    if i used his software i'd want to respect his plea but honestly i have no idea what this guy would consider acceptable or not.

    can i not make a doom remix since doom has demons? can i not make any house music because of the early popularity of house in gay clubs?

    it's just something i don't want to have to think about when i'm making music.

    cheers.

  2. When analoq wins, everyone loses (except analoq).

    indeed. i've no shortage of obscure/inane song choices (:

    My entry to that competition had such ugly sample quality, I didn't realise other people we're checking them out, I'm embarassed now!

    there's only so much you can do for a compo given all the limiting factors. i voted for yours, btw.

    cheers.

  3. this seems like something that would've been on ocr a few years ago. the sequencing is much too absent of noticeable human-ish velocity. everything seems to have a hard attack, and that's not how people play instruments. add in the awkward tempo changes like prot mentioned and i can't really see a reason to pass this. better luck next time?

    no

  4. i was liking this okay until around the :50 mark, a little too ugly a little too soon. i'm not sure what Louis is going for here, is this trying to sound lo-fi or not? sort of a weird collection of cheesy sounds with rather presentable sounds. as a whole it feels awkward.

    the play, repeat, end thing should be avoided if possible...

    no

  5. i like what is attempted here, but what is missing is more layers and more variations of those layers. take the lead: i like it at first, but by the end it's pretty irritating. this kind of thing can work, but there needs to be some (more) automation of the effects.

    there also needs to be more going on, drumloop+thin bass+pads+abrasive lead = okay. but we expect more than just okay.

    right now it's just raw, what i want is raw meat.

    no

  6. oh my, that is a poorly compressed drum kit. or maybe the mastering itself is over limited with the kick causing all kinds of ugly pumping... that's more what it sounds like.

    the riffs are cool. the delay on the lead gets irritating after a while. you know, you don't have to use the very same effects on your lead throughout the whole tune. mix it up during the different sections.

    no

  7. well, at least it's not metal.

    annoying sound effects, weird sequencing on the choir part, and a lack of processing on the guitars. sounding lo-fi is okay, but it should sound intentional. this just sounds like they didn't know what they were doing.

    no

  8. daniel summed things up for me. the interpretation of the original into the hiphop genre is clever, and i was considering passing this up until the beep.

    but beyond that, my main criticism is the quality of the vocals. the recording is iffy, it sounds spacious, there's background noise, and generally sounds unprofessional. work on recording technique, and maybe the emceeing so you guys don't sound like a couple of kids.

    no
