Tuberz McGee Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I loved the reference. Such a great song. My high school jazz band played that song and I had a trumpet solo in it. I think I love you. <3 Also, Brandon. We have to collab and write Metal about not being able to afford shoes. It's kinda unavoidable now. :/ Sorry.

timaeus222 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Holy shit. What if a piece of the file managed to make it onto the internet and spread far and wide, spreading it's destructive awesomeness onto unsuspecting computers, causing them shut down and never boot again.What if part of the file found it's way into a congressman's computer and spread throughout the internal infrastructure of congress. Are WE responsible for the shutdown of the American Government? As far as I'm concerned, the government is already shut down, and I'm blaming it on Darke. *runs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xarnax42 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Well, bummer. There was a major lack of communication within Energy Tank headquarters, and I was under the impression that one of my teammates was taking on the bulk of our track. Wasn't sure until now whether or not anything made it in. For that person looking forward to a song from us, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Now that everything is in, FWIW, I have a short list of remixes where I really enjoyed the arrangements but the production held them back. Here's the ones I would particularly love to see improved versions of: Space Pirate Attack Funky Moles & Trashy Ducks Lunar Storm Tempestuous In Everlasting Pieces Adventure of a Lifetime We're the Robutts! I also want to call out Blood of the Concrete Moon as one I'd love to see get some finishing treatment, not because the production wasn't amazing but because that piano solo is just way too long and breaks up the flow too much.

DarkeSword Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I just want to give a quick shout out to all the non-competitors who followed this competition every week and voted. Thanks guys. Also I think I need to make a new rule about voting for the next compo that says to actually write the titles of the tracks and not these trying-to-be-funny approximations some of you guys do sometimes.

I've honestly got no complaints of my own on it, and I was jiving in my room when I finished it. It's borderline IMHO, and I'm actually still waffling over whether to add it to my permanent collection. We'll see what the judges have to say, but to my admittedly novice ear, some of the lead synths are a little tinny, and some of the mid-range frequencies step on each other in the more complicated sections. I'm glad you're subbing it, my suspicion is that it'll come back with a Resubmit and they'll be able to give you more precise feedback than I can.Anyways' date=' I don't know if we have a last listening party or not, but can I please ask for one last review? Thx[/quote']I wasn't going to, because this is going to be pretty harsh, but since you asked for it:The singing is implemented really badly. It's off-beat and the delay effect is really distracting. The recording quality is also poor, and and I hate to say it, but the singing is just not very good--it's off-key, with limited range; the rhythm is off, and he just can't keep up with the faster parts. Also, I needed two listens before I could tell there was English in there. As for the arrangement, there is once again no integration of sources, they're just played in serial, and in different keys, and that transition at 1:09 is completely out of place. During the singing there often isn't really any accompaniment, just the lead duplicated with a synth. When there is accompaniment it isn't very interesting. And the lead isn't very interesting either, it sounds exactly like the original sources, no rearrangement at all that I can hear. The instrumentation is overall of very low quality and is poorly balanced, mostly too quiet. The pads and bass (is that supposed to be bass?) are almost inaudible. I could probably find other things to criticize, but those are the biggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvernixSP Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I submitted it. That was fun!I'd like to thank everybody for all the help and constructive criticisms. About our song: Unfortunately' date=' we lost Zerothemaster in the battle. SilvernixSP and I was debating what to do for the last round. I came up with the song idea and my teammate mentioned doing vocals. First I didn't want it, because English is our second language (or third or fourth), but when I found out SilvernixSP's native language is French (imo the sexiest language on Earth) I encouraged him to do the vocals. That's how our song was born.[/quote'] well, first time for me writting and singing, I'm not really good, but anyway, I can't still believe that I have done it, lol. wonder what review we will get XD oh, and Parah, you only post the lyric before you done your final change, anyway, I will put them with an english traduction neer them, well enjoy -Mega Man 6 ending part- Nous voici à la toute dernière ronde............................Here we are at the last round Nous n'allons pas perdre notre temps encore moins une seconde................We will not waste our time even one second Mais y'en a qui se sont défié...................................But they're people who have challenged À mettre des vocals.............................................To put vocals Dans nos music remixé...........................................In our music remixed Alors faisons le nous aussi-si-si...............................So let's us do it to -Nitro Man part- L'armé des Metools viens tout juste de s'engagé-é...............The army of Metools have just committed Le frelon c'est p-etre faite exterminé-é........................The Hornet is maybe exterminated Nous avons perdu un homme contre le docteur malfaiteur..........We lost one man against the wrongdoer doctor Mais nous revenons avec une force destructeur...................But we return with a destructive power -Hornet Man part- Nous sommes les débutants.......................................We are the beginners Et nous avons pas froid.........................................And we're not having cold Car il y à toujours un commencement.............................Because there is always a beginning Ce fut très instructif..........................................This was very instructive Et peut-être qu'un autre fois...................................And then maybe next time On sera beaucoups plus compétitif (ben ouais!)..................We will be alot more competitive (yeah right!)

I'm glad you're subbing it, my suspicion is that it'll come back with a Resubmit and they'll be able to give you more precise feedback than I can. Well, you see, since a good majority of those lead synths were ones I made, it means objectively I like how they sound in the context of this ReMix. I agree that by themselves with the EQ they have externally they might sound a little bit thin, but in context they allow other frequencies such as the C64 arp and the dry signal of the E. Piano to peek through. I personally believe this was my second toughest mixing experience, next to the final round's mixing difficulty, so I of course spent a long time fixing it up until I was satisfied with leaving it as it is now. Because of that, I did in fact run into the observation that some mids were clashing a bit, so I took that into account and scooped the mids on the bass only during that Electro House section, and that should be enough, but we'll see. Honestly, I think this mixing job was better than what I did for "Cloudhopping", a collaboration with Chimpazilla, and apparently "Cloudhopping" was good enough for a DP, so maybe the bar is lower than you think and what I used to think (before I got the email, thinking the mix was going to go through to the judges panel instead of DPing).

I also think sometimes djp passes things he really likes that might not pass the judges' panel on technical merit. Either way the response will be enlightening. Also congrats, is that your first mixpost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
