Re: General Updates

TIL about playlist.txt.

Re: General Updates

It would be trivial to set up a button like that but I don't want it to be hammered by bots and such. I'll have to think about how to extend the current rate limiting scheme.

Hopefully I haven't offended you. You're going to have to try a whole lot harder to offend me. :D As I said previously, and maybe this is a good place to repeat it, there is an undocumented way to re-generate an existing ZIP archive on my site: append an "allow_redownload=1" query paramet...

Re: Community Check-In and Feedback

Personally I find that forums do not replace chats and chats do not replace forums. Case in point, we've had the IRC channel for many years and it hasn't stopped the people who are active there from posting here (to the extent they were posting here in the first place).

Re: Community Check-In and Feedback

Thank you Jast for offering the download! In another thread it was discussed that the download doesn't update when late/missing songs get added. I may take a look into how hard it would be to offer the download natively on songfight.org and in a way where it updates the zip file automatically when ...

Re: Least-shitty distribution and manufacturing channels

A little update on this - I just received my first earnings notice from Songtradr that was above $0, though it's still very close to $0. At this pace I estimate it will take about 1400 years until I will have earned enough to actually lose out on an amount equivalent to a one-year pro membership due...

If you do a crapton of doubling and/or re-aligning takes that are out of rhythm or out of tune, and you're willing to throw money at the problem... Revoice Pro 4 is currently 40% off (€459 -> €279). (It can do regular pitch correction, too, but its strengths are in transferring the timing and/or pit...

Who knows. My guess is the next three titles will be different and it will be your job to tie all of them into a single storyline.

Re: Pimps and thieves run free in (A Long Plastic Hallway prefight)

I tried an experiment I'd had in mind for a long time: trying to make the vocal part of the rhythm rather than the melody. To make that work, you have to be very, very good with rhythm and timing, and also need to inject enough energy into the vocal so that it sounds interesting even without a melo...

Re: Why/How you should double tracks rather than make a copy and pan.

Well, personally I experimented with rebalancing the two tracks and up to about 10 dB difference didn't help with making the sound location more balanced.
In any case with the comb filters you don't get any of these issues, and you have perfect mono compatibility, too...
