Re: Unpack your reviews (suitcase)

I was away for the past week so these are some late reviews (and also why I had no chance to submit a song for "The Lurker" even though I really liked that title.) These are all just based on one/first listen ... Anastasia Elizabeth - Pretty vocals (but could be recorded more clearly) will...

Re: Next title/prompt

ah ... "The Lurker" is a great title. I'm going to be on a trip for the next week or so though so it's going to be tough to get something done by 6/30. But it's a good title to be rattling around in the meantime.

i'm hoping the review thread is as much fun as the pre-fight thread ...

darricklucas - I'm curious as to what kind of music you're into (listening to)?

Re: "Suitcase" - PRE-FIGHT DISCUSSION/ARGUING

why isn't your work worth $35 to you? also going I-vi I-vi I-V I -V/V is a progression that is so common it is most certainly in public domain. couple points: 1. personally (and I don't think I'm alone here) I look at songfight songs as practice - they just aren't worth going to some special effort...

Re: "Suitcase"

It's a good title, I am expecting a lot of entries for it. I want to get one in this time and have two ideas so far that are complete opposites of each other - one quite sad song idea - one quite happy song idea ... haven't made up my mind yet.

Re: Nur Ein IX - Round Six

congratulations to Caravan Ray/Tydon Docks & Merisan ! I can imagine this was a tough round to judge as all of the songs had some cool stuff going on, so it's no surprise it was so close (although I am a bit surprised Ken didn't make it to the finals) and doh... I just realized I may not get to ...

Re: Nur Ein IX - Round Six

(I disagree with what the law said on that issue, like I believe most of you do, especially seeing that 100% of royalties now go to Jagger and Richards for a song written mainly by Ashcroft. Allen Klein is a greedy asshole. EDIT: He was , since he is dead now. I should probably not speak ill of the...

Re: Nur Ein IX - Round Six

cool songs --- I think I'd have to go with Merisan & Ken for the final round if I were a judge. but last time the judges mostly disagreed with my picks ... so maybe that's not a good thing for Merisan & Ken.

Merisan - Great singing, musicianship, production, mix ... Eve...

Re: Nur Ein! IX Round 4

hey JonEric - thanks for the review - I can definitely understand hating my lyrics for this one, they were pretty ridiculous. but no I didn't use any vocoder/synth on this one ... I do use pitch correction (abused perhaps on this track) but no, no synth... and the bass was done vocally ... again, I ...

Re: Nur Ein! IX Round 4

Manhattan Glutton : Not meet the challenge. I do not mind the origin of the sample, the wave or whatever, you are using a tool that emulates a bass. The challenge described what instruments you could and could not use, not how those instruments had to sound or function. Seems pretty uncool that fol...

Re: Nur Ein! IX Round 4

yes ... I'm not sure it's possible to make a popular song using a 12 tone row (I'd love to be proven wrong...?). I think I tried composing a song using this method once and gave up. I am impressed by what you did with this song technically though, it kind of makes me want to experiment with some sim...

Re: Nur Ein! IX Round 4

Thanks for the feedback Carlo. I agree that the melodyne use was a bit off this time, I was annoyed by my own lead vocal on this one because I didn't have time to really nail what I was trying to do and had to sort of shoehorn it ... the fact that I barely missed making the cut makes me wish I had s...
