Re: At Gene Rayburns request- Fill in the Blank reviews

Jeebas Jones [/url] It reminds me of Rooney and that's a good thing! I understand this was a long distance group effort? very difficult to be cohesive and yet you pull it off well...I'm already a fan of TRJones from the last fight (scientific 7), so I'm in. I want more vocal here though, don't get ...

Re: At Gene Rayburns request- Fill in the Blank reviews

Thanks BLT, appreciate the offer. I have been doing the notching thing and it has really helped my mixes. In this song situation though (jeebus Jones), even after doing my notching and getting rid of the non important high and low end frequencies that just serve to muddy up or hiss out a recording, ...

Re: At Gene Rayburns request- Fill in the Blank reviews

Let the fight begin. Votes go to the three left standing. Berkeley Social Scene [/url]First up we have the ever present Berkley Social Scene. This tune starts off really nice. I like the groove quite a bit. Not a big fan of that change at .40 and 1:38. Really throws off the flow. Nice use of Keyboar...

Re: Are you Mann enough? (prefight)

So out of loop. I'm back from Brazil, and I'm back from Barn Parties in Quebec. Time to get back on the review train, and eventually back on the composition train. Reviews first though. Banana Dan [/url]Nice enough, but no vote when there are no lyrics to associate it to this weeks title. Theres not...

Re: Well if you insist (Make the First Move reviews)

Ya, the drums. This was a tune I actually got an early start on. I was using those two drum loops as my click track/place holder as I built the tune. The original intention was to have enough time at the end of the tune to create my drum track in midi. My downfall was lyric writing and singing. I ha...

OH crap. I'm really sorry about that. Lets have a listen shall we. Right away its hooking me. Love that melody line. Sorta reminds me of the feel that the smashing pumpkins gave me with "Drown" back in the day. You have a great voice, and this song sounds nicely engineered. Nice riff to br...

I couldnt pull this one out. Kinda glad now that I know Brad Sucks is in the hunt. Who could beat that guy. I'm a big fan. His site was what introduced me to this site a few years back.

Sorry you don't like my vocals. I guess it's a good thing I submitted an INSTRUMENTAL.
I have a feeling he was talking about my tune right below yours. Just a hunch

Alcoholik Spok [/url]Pleasing. oh…Like that riff that leads in the chorus. Strong heavy riff. I don't know if the two parts work together.I mean, they do, I get the dynamic, but something in the progression of the verse sits off in my head. Overall this song was good, and something I hope you consi...

Re: Very Small Rocks: Starting a Witch Hunt prefight

A rookie here, with a question. If the deadline was on Tuesday and the Songfight doesn't go up until friday or later, can people still submit up until the point that the fight gets posted? Just wondering if I chose to roll the dice and work an extra day past the deadline,would it still be posted if ...

Re: So is she a 10? - that's metric. (Canadian Girlfriend re

Some great entries this week with the top 3 stars going to Gert, Tuners Union, and TRJones. you Hosers nailed it American Boyfriend - Like the chord progression a lot in this tune. Lyrics are a tad to tongue and Cheek for me, and feel crammed into the song. Overall though I liked the production quit...

Well, I have been lurking this place for years. I submitted 1 entry many moons ago, but could just not keep up those deadlines.

One in a row is my record I guess. Put in a submission last week and fully expected to this week. Alas, it did not happen. Between having/organizing my 3 year olds birthday party, a few late work nights, and complete writers block, it was a tough week for recording. I did however find time to listen...

Metaluna – My eyes popped open at the very start of this tune. Production sounds really nice, super clean. Instrument tones sound really good. Drums sound is sweet. I find the tempo drags for a short spot. But other then that, spot on metal instrumental anthem. Great work. Architects of Desire – So...

Re: Are you a Quitter? (prefight)

well, here goes nothing. Got my track in today. I got lost in the mix as usual and ended up not accomplishing all that I had set for goals. ie a rhythm track that isn't just a non changing drum loop, a quality guitar solo. etc. and ended up over analyzing the mix which ended up worse then when I sta...
