Re: Nur Ein XVII Round One - Deified

Deified (Virgo Power) mama, I'm not freezing anymore paper flutters around me like so many moths my useless brain is gone and soon my eyes will follow mama, I'm not freezing anymore chorus: I'll be reified soon I'll be deified soon I will see my gods soon I'll be with them soon mama, I'm not hurtin...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

I would LOVE to know HOW to "ring out" Omni and remove aggressive frequencies. Could I use the spectrum analyzer in GarageBand to do that? i.e. see where it's peaking and turn it down on those frequencies? I don't know what kind of EQ GarageBand has but you should follow these steps. 1) A...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

I can’t speak for the other judges. I will accept any phrase that contains at least 3 distinct tones and is at least 6 notes in total length. In other words, I think the minimum phrases follow the forms ABCCBA (6 notes, 3 tones), ABCDCBA (7 notes, 4 tones), ABACABA (7 notes, 3 tones). Oh, interesti...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

OK but what if you have a 7 note phrase with the first 4 notes going up and then the middle note gets "reused" because the last 3 go back down, does that count for the palindrome? or does it have to be 8 notes i.e. repeat that middle note? I feel like that doesn't sound very good, i like ...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

Thank you everyone for the reviews. I will totally cop to doing a rush job on this round in hopes of slipping by bc fewer than 25 people entered. And while I got away with it, clearly I still suffered in the ranking. I think my procrastination hurt me most in my "mixing" and editing, since...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

Thanks for all the examples, guys! I am crafting a song that is almost guaranteed to lose me the round, but then again I was pretty much headed that way anyway. It's ok, I know my stuff (especially Omnichord) is an acquired taste. Plus I do not know how to mix. :lol: I am in it for the prompts to wr...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

I've had some close calls with deadlines before, but this was the closest I've ever cut it. Half an hour ago, I didn't have verse lyrics. But, I submitted a "safety" mix with two minutes to spare, and a really quick-and-dirty mastering attempt just a couple minutes past the deadline. Not ...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

Welp, after perusing the lyrics for this round I see I had basically the same exact idea as everyone else! Huzzah, originality! :lol:

Draft submitted for safety as I have to drive to Jersey and back soon.

Re: Nur Ein XVII - Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th ( Virgo Power ) It was a super flower blood moon Our eyes met across the room A pair of black cats crossed our path You had your hat on backwards Put your shoes on the table We lit three smokes to a match How does Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-day become Fri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-yay when that Friday w...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

I'd like to point out that LWRG already wrote this song when it was called Good Luck Charm.

I have decided to enter as Virgo Power. Song is written and about to be recorded.

Hi I'm trying to submit our video for next Saturday but I didn't get a confirmation, is this normal? Or is it confused because I'm trying to edit our form logged in as me when Nivs filled it out with his gmail addy?

Re: Brother Machine

Can I just say that thanks to Nivs including BM's "Space Cadet" in his SF favorites playlist - which Tommy G was spinning at the Nur Ein listening party - I have been delving into Seth Gibbs' various back catalogs and I am frigging obsessed. I feel like I did when Amy Winehouse died and I ...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Five "The Only Way Out"

Virgo power: the balance of tones is either better in this song, or my ear is getting used to your orchestration. You have an amazing alto - I love the timbre of your voice. Like a saxophone. When you wail up on the chorus it is *chefs kiss*. The modulation is a bit awkward, and it trips you up voc...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Five "The Only Way Out"

Virgo Power : Really love that synth sound, is it one of the microKORG presets by any chance? It feels familiar to me, half suspect it's something I've used myself in the past. Really like the simple drum machine beat too, again this is another good shadow entry Nope, that sound is my Q-Chord! (The...

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Five "The Only Way Out"

Welp, I'm in with my very short and (hopefully) sweet shadow. I really struggled with this round! I had NOTHING, just bupkis for most of the week. Then I made a beat I liked, but had no other music, let alone lyrics. I made a horrible dirge that I didn't like at all, then decided to throw the whole ...
