Regarding thoroughly bad/mediocre vocals: I still think Autotune and friends make all voices either sound almost the same, or just don't make enough of a difference to make the performance tolerable, unless you invest so much time into it that you're basically re-sculpting the vocals in post-product...

Before anyone looks too deeply into the free Pro Tools, these are the most important limitations: - maximum 4 input channels - maximum 16 tracks/instruments - no local saving of projects, only cloud saving, limited to 1 GB - no revision history - no track commit/bounce (freeze is supported) - no inp...

Since no more songs seem to be forthcoming... reviews! Yay! Forgiveness by Pigfarmer Jr (suggested by inflatable vegetables): nice song, slightly repetitive but still acceptable. Pleasing arrangement, drums maybe a little too weak in comparison to everything else. The only thing that bugs me is the ...

Cool! I've added the song to the CoT archive. Including a nice mark of shame.

PS. I changed my mind. Marks of shame will exist only in future CoTs.

I'm in! Hopefully the timing is going to work out, I'll be extremely busy during the second half of July...

Good news! The website is now complete and contains all the songs submitted to me. 11 out of 15, could be worse.

Two more songs from CoT VI have surfaced and are now added to the archive. If you happen to be reading this and have songs that are missing from the website (even if you already sent them to someone else; all of that has been lost), please let me know and I'll add them. https://cot.music-jk.net/circ...

I'm always amazed by how clear and loud (well-mixed) some of the recordings are. HOW do you get them to sound so good?!?!? Mine sound like they were recorded in a basement under a sackcloth by comparison. :oops: You've already gotten a fair bit of feedback on that. I just listened to your recording...

fluffy wrote:Its automation interface (drawing/editing automation curves) was terrible.

Can you elaborate a little on how it compares to, say, your favourite DAW in terms of usage? I've used REAPER a lot and now I'm kind of wondering whether I've been limiting myself in terms of automation without noticing it...

Not sure if there was a more recent thread for this... sorry to bump a 5 year old post... but I had no other way to contact my homies in #SongFight!... my firewall security is on lock down and I can no longer connect to IRC. I'm pretty sure it's just blocking the port that mibbit is using, but I'm ...

Also here's my song which I hadn't posted yet because I'd been hoping to simply include it in the finished CoT page:

Why not... here's what I know: ? -> inflatable vegetables Sandwich Arrowroot ? -> Johnny Cashpoint Primitive (Anything else? I don't know) ? -> Sockpuppet Strategies to Live ? -> Micah Sommersmith Not Sorry Challenge 1: Use of distortion on as many tracks as possible, but not on guitars Challenge 2:...

MAGIX is currently selling Samplitude at an extreme discount, probably to reel in ex-SONAR users. For $149 you get Samplitude Pro X3 Suite, which includes: * Samplitude Pro X3 * Sound Forge Pro 11 (offline audio editor) * SpectraLayers Pro 4 (offline audio editor) * Melodyne 4 Essential (the license...

I didn't get enough responses to even figure out the full circle. Seemed kind of lame to publish a fraction of the entries or leave the rest with "who submitted this? Beats me" or "who got this? Beats me"... Stats: Title sets where I know all of the titles, the submitter and the ...

Native Instruments is giving away a phaser plugin for a while: https://www.native-instruments.com/spec ... ad-phasis/

A handful of people have responded already. Thanks, guys! Unfortunately it's not enough yet to publish all of the songs posted so far, too many unknowns... Anyone else? I'll send out a round of private messages in a couple of days, but feel free to respond earlier (in private to keep things interest...

Artist profiles are now a thing, too. Now all it needs is more songs... (hint, hint)

Good news, everyone! I hear there's been an attempt to collect all of the songs from Circle of Titles VI, but I don't know any results. In the meantime I've finally finished my Circle of Titles site and I've added all of the CoT6 songs I came across, here: https://cot.music-jk.net/circle/cot6 If you...

Can I ask everyone to please send me the titles/challenges they submitted and the ones they got assigned (as a private message or e-mail to jast@srcd.de to keep the suspense up for a little longer )? I can't reach Nick and I'd like to get the website done, even if it's dreadfully late...

Well, turns out I won't be able to publish the results on time, probably will be too busy with other things until about two weeks later. Sorry, folks!

Listening habits are one thing. The other is that, to an extent, the ordering of the tracks is part of the artistic package. When people say the order doesn't matter, that's like saying all the effort you put into tracks a casual listener is hardly going to notice doesn't matter, either. That said, ...

I disagree. I say they totally could have done better, and it was quite the mess the way they did it. I'm not sure I recall all the details correctly so some of this may be a little off the mark. (Spoilers ahead but I'll try to avoid all details about interesting developments.) When Cal wakes up in ...
