Nur Ein V: Round 4

[Reist]

Reist, just enjoy your weekend and don't let these guys make you feel bad about WINNING THE LAST ROUND.

Haha, thanks Frank.

On a side note, I ended up writing a little ditty for this one (not out of guilt, mind you). It's an exercise in flexing my immunity - lofi and autotuned - and it probably wouldn't make it past next round without immunity. But that's the point. See you guys next round.

I've got something, but it's not a good something, and listening to it gives me enough of a headache that I'm out. Was fun while it lasted. Good luck all!

You're gonna let a headache stand between you & Nur Ein glory?
You would rather go out quietly than go out fighting?
Send it in... What's the harm...Hey you never know....

[Billy's Little Trip]

I'm in. Early by my standards.

NiR EiN!!!!

While we're waiting on the results, who wants to run a book on when Minty will write his next "I'm dropping out" post?

Put me down for 10am Saturday morning.

Missed by 23 hours and 36 minutes. Damn.



...but I am in - 45 minutes early!!

And every week is "bring a guest" week in Harpoonerville - this week I have benefitted greatly from the wonderful vocalising and harmonicising talents of Mr Rabid Garfunkel (including some amazing "theatre-of-the-mind" action).

[Generic]

Down to the wire, but I'm gonna make it.

EDIT: Sent. NUR EIN!!!!

[RangerDenni]

Almost. But no bannana.

It's been a crap week and it's not gonna happen. Nur Ein everyone. Nur Ein.

Thanks. I'm staying around for song fights and listening in though ... Y'all are AWESOME

[MintyHandy]

Missed by 23 hours and 36 minutes. Damn.

Actually, I just did that to fuck with you. Submitted. Hah!

NUR EIN!!!!

EDIT: Judges, a new bounce of the track is coming, I accidentally cut off the last few seconds. And I may have overcompensated by sending the fixed track twice. Argh.

[Ross]

Woo hoo. Here we go into the next round!

Hey niv, couldn you edit the post at the top of the nur ein V thread to match our currne number of eliminations per round? Thanks.

[Generic]

Minty, you're a schmuck.

Ranger Den, sorry to see you go. Try to do a Songfight sometime! You have usually about twice as long, and the competition isn't *quite* as fierce.

So. Another deadline has passed. Has anyone other than Ranger Den dropped out? If not, that's ten songs (including the immune Therman entry). How many eliminations?

[Niveous]

10 songs (including the immune Therman) & 3 eliminations (including the defaulting DJ Ranger Den). Every round til the last will have 3 eliminations.

@Ross- Original thread has been edited to reflect the no. of eliminations with 21 participants.

[MintyHandy]

Minty, you're a schmuck.

I would like to be able to argue with this, but I cannot.

[Caravan Ray]

NUR EIN!!!!

and so the hunter becomes the hunted...
The mind games are stepping up a notch

[Generic]

Minty, you're a schmuck.

I would like to be able to argue with this, but I cannot.

You're a schmuck, but I'm glad you're not dropping out. See you in the fight.

NUR EIN!!!!

[Niveous]

The songs are up at http://nurein.songfight.net

[Generic]

Thanks for the early posting! I'll be listening in my car tomorrow. Should have reviews before Tuesday!

[BenKrieger]

I think the thing I'm bummed most about this mix is that the distortion affect on the "not in this lifetime" obscure them a tad too much. I don't mind that they're a little inaudible, especially since the listener could ascertain what's being said from the title. But I would have liked to make them clear enough to invite sing-along. As it is, I think the listener is alienated from the chorus. I probably shouldn't be trashing my own song in front of the judges, but I guess I don't want it to seem like I'm clueless about the weak points of my own recording. I'm probably going to mix it over again tomorrow just for my own listening pleasure.

All the tunes sound really great this time around. This is really going to be vicious.

[Reist]

The Jon Eric link isn't working for me. Anybody else having problems with it?

[Rabid Garfunkel]

Been a Lonely Heart, and now a Harpooner... that even got the dog dancing (and my wife and I laughing hysterically). Awesome, yo. Always good workin' with you, John, thanks

[Billy's Little Trip]

They all worked for me.

10 damn good songs, too.

[glennny]

Dear Who Fly,

Does your track sound right to you? For me there's this weird pulsing volume and noise drop. Like it didn't render properly or some other technical issue. If this is the intended sound forgive me.

glennny

[phetal]

Dear glenny. Yes and no, my mixing was done last second and I was oblivious to just how much compression I was messing with. The sound volume be lowering as much as it does. I had a kick drum sidechained into a compressor (which was on everything) and then I muted the kick. so you still have it triggering the compression but...

Yeah and when I listened to the mix this morning i was all 'motherfuck' but at this point in the competition I can't bitch. I've had enough weeks to not be pissed at my mix and it hasn't happened yet (97 was close, the vocals were horribly mixed) so sigh. the last hour of my mixing was done on laptop speakers WITH A SUBWOOFER ATTACHED ONLY because I desperately had to mix bass. But without my massive subwoofer it all just sounds exactly like you say... an error in processing.

Listen to Toro Y Moi and, though it's not quite what I was shooting for, it's slight vindication?
