I had a super busy week at work followed by a heavy cold on the weekend, not much inspiration for my song and no collaborators either. So I'm bowing out at this point. It's been super fun to get back into Nur Ein though and great to hear all your lovely songs again! Good luck everyone for this round.

All I can think of now is that song from Frozen.

Liner: This is a song about robots in the future who look after the remains of human society. The date is unknown but it is at least 500 years from the time of recording. I found a chat room to the future I asked them do you still use computers A voice said "it's all much simpler now They're al...

I'm in! Way too many synths in this one, but my two eras are now and THE DISTANT FUTURE, so there had to be a lot of synths.

Good luck with your drums arby, and your omnichord tuning.

Guys. This week I have discovered both pitch correction and the EQ plugin. You're all in for a treat.

I do have a set of lyrics I'm happy with, and some instrument tracks. I'm trying to create some robot vocals though and I've been through 2 or 3 methods and still trying to find something that sounds good. Garageband doesn't support any vocoder plugins apparently :cry: Busting through that many song...

No worries, I'll try to post in the lyrics thread for the next round, I forgot about that.

Ah thanks! Now to resume panicking.

Late and poorly informed, but here are my reviews! Song of the week probably Stacking Theory, a well deserved 2nd place. The Alleviators - I'm a big fan of the female vocals, the whole vibe is very chill and well spaced out. Berkeley Social Scene - A bit static. The vocals are doing that nice rising...

The original schedule had round 2 with 20 bands and 4 eliminations. But we had 3 eliminations last week and now there are only 17 so how many will make it to round 3? Sorry I know this is probably explained somewhere but I'm a bit slow.

Adam Adamant Kick drum rings out too long, may be a side effect of compression. Off-key melody on the refrain. Pitchy vocals. Vocals could use some high passing, they're very boomy. I don't hear any palindromic musical phrase in here, and I don't have any lyrics/liner notes to reference. I did post...

Welp, this is one of those rounds where as soon as I start listening to everyone else's songs, I immediately kick myself for not googling the most basic thing - how to fucken pronounce deified. I just assumed it was DAY-ified with a long "a" (like it is in Latin - Deus Ex Machina), but ha...

Some very brief notes. Good job everyone! Adam Adamant - :o What is this trash??? The Alleviators - :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: Heartfelt and driven. Nice vibes in this town. Berkeley Social Scene :!: :!: :!: :!: - Rage against the Halloween merchandising machine. Boffo Yux Dudes - :!: :!: The cats are insi...

I'm considering making a return...

Ah I thought it would be minus 3 to get down to 20. Still, good odds for the rest of us.

I only count 19 names on the songlander page. Someone's missing.

I also thought the title was "Diary Thief" the whole time. I think it still makes sense for the title though.

I also wanted to do a song about stolen cheese.

My favourite diary rhyme so far is:

Let's start the inquiry
Into the diary burgliary

Needless to say this is not in my song.

Call the fire brigade, something's burning!

Hard to write it outside the perspective of a 14 year old girl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pepys I probably shouldn't go on about it. It is only my opinion. But... It's not the idea of keeping a diary, but the idea that a diary has been stolen, or more precisely writing a song about the pe...

Not a massive fan of this title. Hard to write it outside the perspective of a 14 year old girl.

I have discovered slide ukulele though guys. You heard it here first, it's gonna rock your world.

Carlos - you better not be trying to steal my vibe! Impressive effort though.

This was my set up. The grey bag had some loose change in it and you can't see the torn bank statement which I used as a bass drum.

Done! Feeling good about this one. Only I hope the random number generator isn't a Ben E King fan.

Nur Ein!
