Re: Nur Ein XX Final Round "XX"
Congrats to both BSS And Grumpy Mike! You truly brought your A-game and this was as close as it could get. I will admit that technically you both nailed it. It was the overall visceral effect that decided it for me, a subjective response to two awesome songs produced virtually flawlessly. “Exceeds e...

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Six "Dark Cove"
How can all five songs be so good? I struggled with this bunch and loved it. Grumpy Mike - SOLID! The humming and claps opening is instantly engaging. The almost-metal arrangement is tight and clean. Vocal performance spot on. This is the chorus I had in my head much of the last 4 days. Very catchy!...

One song? This title demands a double album.

Re: Your Studio Monitor Recommendations for Mixing
I had Mackie HR824s, which i loved until I blew either a speaker or the crossover. Try getting those babies serviced (!). I also downsized, to Mackie MR524s, for $200 used. Love them, too. I usually mix in headphones (Sony MDR-7506), then play back in the monitors, and go back and forth.

Re: What doesn't kill you.... (Silver Birthday reviews)
roymond : Oh, twinkly! And then so much reverb and chorus. We’re in this dream pop soundscape, until suddenly…trap-infused drum beats? Very adventurous structure here and I want to give points for that. Cool chord shift starting on after “within you” for sure. I find myself more intrigued by what y...

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Four "Cracks In The Sidewalk"
So I learned after that fact that, without written notation, it can be difficult or impossible to discern 5/4 from 5/8. My thoughts are this...it's all about perceived meter. You can notate a song in any meter you like (even carrying across bar lines), but notation doesn't define the actual meter. ...

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Four "Cracks In The Sidewalk"
THIS was an awesome round! These are extraordinary songs that didn't exist a week earlier. Congrats to everyone who rocked it. I like providing feedback/reviews but it's been a crazy few weeks. I'll do my best from here on out, as it starts getting very interesting towards the finale. Please don't r...

Re: Song Fight! turns 25 in June
I built a PC from parts in the mid ‘80s and got an audio card that would sync to my Tascam 4 track Portastudio, using one of its tracks for the sync signal. I forget what software I used! That gave me three tracks of audio and however many MIDI instruments the CPU could handle on the PC. I bought a ...

I bet it's tough to come up with challenges that work for well for everyone, given our varied skills and experience, and appreciate the thought and effort that goes in. I think fitting everyone just right all the time is just too unrealistic of a goal. Just my 2c. Not that I was driving any of the ...

Nick Cave's "Where the Wild Roses Grow" as a model That is a classic, and a great model for that round;s challenge. But it's in 6/8, not 3/4. :P And Logic absolutely does support setting the meter/time signature to whatever you want, as many times as you want, during a song: https://suppo...

“The man” just informed us we can work remote a couple weeks in August, so I’m gonna stay a little longer, at least to catch Spud’s Sunday event. Still arriving Thursday.
