Are we supposed to incorporate the actual Bond theme song? My take, given the bond theme song playlist, is that every bond movie has a theme song. There are just more popular ones that we'd consider *the* bond theme song. Each theme song is more or less about the movie it's associated with. In this...

I promise, last post on this:

Yesssss. Now that's what I'm talking about! I didn't want to be productive at work today anyhow.


edit: Paywall, boooooooooo. Looks like it's back to youtube, boys.

Hmmm, sounds like I'm on the right track. Vox volume too loud verse too quiet chorus so turn the whole track up, then lower volume on verse seems like a last minute desperation hack. It makes sense to tweak everything else and make sure the EQs are all playing together nicely. But yeah tough when ti...

Lucky Spoon - The bass is far too loud in the mix, and that is especially apparent in headphones. Lead vocal is buried in the mix, and that might be a good thing because it sounds like you're flat fairly often. Is there a guest vocalist? Okay, I suppose that is two different vocalists, but it isn't...

Definitely calypso is the way to go

Looking forward to my walk and listen today. All the lyrics look really great. Reading through I realised in my haste to put something together I forgot to put put in a mention to a rear window in my lyrics, whoopsees. If I was having a driving test I would have failed :( It's not an explicit requi...

I just could not motivate myself to get started this week. Finally friday night I had some scratch guitars and about 1 1/2 verses with mumbling for the choruses. A friend from work volunteered to come sing and play his drums (which are currently at my house). Song is somewhat centered around a weddi...

Rear Window by Lucky Spoon w/ Arjun on drums Guy 1: Arjun Guy 2: Me V1 (Guy 1) She was the perfect girl, but I could never see how I took for granted all the things that she made of me When she left I let her go and didn't think twice and now i'm just a slob of solitude in what i call my life but i...

The choir- is it a synth, or did you sing it and process it?

Sang it. about 4 R/L pairs of vocal tracks. fade in. add reverb.

Lucky Spoon - Fantastic! This is incredibly fun! Lyrics are exceptional. The story had me glued to hear what happened next even before realizing the entire thing is referencing the Mandalorian! The whole thing feels a bit loose, but that works perfectly for what you're doing. Oh wow, I'm honored. I...

I used upright bass and guitar. I haven't put a pick up on my new upright so I had some fun researching out to mic them and got some decent results. Sometimes you might hear a click and that's my ring slamming into the neck of the bass and the mic picking that up. Adds character. I'd venture to say ...

Fun little goofy tale. It has deeper context that might give spoilers to a TV show/Movie. Leaving under a spoiler tag in case you want to guess on your own or you like to avoid spoilers. Credit to my brother for giving me this idea. It's someone who watched the Mandalorian season 1 on Disney+, but d...

What an incredible batch of songs. Best round 1 ever?

My lyrics were their own liner notes, but here's what really happened:

Watching you run so close to the deadline made me anxious and I had to stop watching and go work on my song.

Also what about making one or both of the instruments sound or function like something else via effects ... ?

I think that falls under FX pedals?

>In the case of synths / keyboards / FX pedals, one patch = one instrument.

But what about FX on our vocals??

I came close to wet eyes myself. ayyup... recording the last chorus took a few takes before I could get all the words out without getting completely choked up. Thanks for the kind words and lengthy reviews! I know that criticizing the song can come across as insensitive in light of that. No worries...

What is that strange code editor that you are using to write your lyrics with?

Yes, I want to know this too. I searched and found Lyric Notepad but that's only for mobile.

Look at the papers of people who got higher grades than a D-, identify commonalities in the papers which scored higher than D-, then try and imitate the commonalities in the papers which scored higher than a D-. And like, in this situation, if F&D got a low-but-still-made-the-cutoff score in on...
