Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

Once again Ryan and I are presenting our reviews in podcast form, because that's what all the cool kids are doing. I agree and respect the criticism of the second guy. The first guy... you didn’t find any of it shocking because it hits too close to home, doesn’t it? And don’t tell me your blood did...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

this track is exactly my thing, but i will call you a coward for not rhyming the couplet "my first word was fedora" with "my first steps were out the door-a". I'm glad you like it, Rain! Makes it worth the past few days, as I was honestly struggling just to get done on time! I o...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

@chumpy To clarify - I meant for the zipping. I do have tagging code in place but for whatever reason am not calling it at the moment. I wanted to fully figure out a migration strategy with the old tags before enabling it, I believe.

If someone wants to write the PHP to put somewhere in the site, we can make this easier.

There's also this option for Mac and Linux and saavvy Windows users:

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Two "Pump The Brakes"

Do you guys want more rap verses? Because this is how you get rap verses.

I may be able to reuse lyrics that I cut from my last song. :o

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

Grumpy Mike - I don’t care much for the spoken word. That’s juxtaposed with adoring the rest of the song. So catchy! Production is awesome. Again, would the spoken word be there were it not for the challenge? Power pop fun! If not for the challenge, the power pop wouldn't be there! The spoken part ...

Re: NUR EIN XIV - Shock Value - Dynamics

SHOCK VALUE NOTE: This song is about an internet date with an " edgelord " (someone who says something for the sake of being edgy, for the pure shock value). The lyrics explore a range of odd things that would be shocking to hear from someone, but perhaps not in the traditional way. The so...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"

Thanks for the detailed input, Arby! And everyone else too, really. It’s amazing to have so many round 0 reviews. OR write the song so that it sounds like it should be called the title I don’t want to rehash the age-old philosophical debate on this, but for any judge following this heuristic, I do h...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"

A. Thank you, Chumpy, for the compliment.
B. Thank you, Chumpy, for teaching me something. I’ve still been aiming for -12dB RMS, like a chump!

Edit:
C. If you continue to compare me to Creed I might do my Scott Stapp impression. “WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN-AH!”

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Five "Hazardous Waste"

I know the judges don't technically care, but I wanted to share how I routed my beatboxing to sound like there are multiple tracks when there's really only one. It was kind of a cool new thing I was experimenting with. I sent the vocal track to Kick/Mid/High, added EQ, gate, and some other stuff, an...

Re: Nur Ein XIII Round Three "We Should"

This is the first time in a long time that I cut it this close. Please excuse my messy mixing and mastering.

I will not forgive my take on the challenge. I had "a friend play a household item" for my song and he's maybe not so great at songs or rhythm or anything but whatever.
