Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Zero "For Your Consideration"

Re: SpinTunes 21 Round 1 Challenge - 'Y-Axis'
Because that bit is the crux of the song, and one of the perspectives is engineering, I wanted that part to feel like it was breaking, especially as the rest of the song is very structural. Whether I was successful in that is highly subjective. :) Got it! Now I see what you were going for there but...

Re: SpinTunes 21 Round 1 Challenge - 'Y-Axis'
There's one track that is an electric guitar picking high notes occasionally with Logic's "Experimental Guitar" "Cascade" preset on it, which has all sorts of weird delays and ring shifts. I think that might be what you're referring to, but I'm not sure. There's also a gradually...

Re: SpinTunes 21 Round 1 Challenge - 'Y-Axis'
Before I get into reviews and rankings, I want to mention that I have a personal scoring rubric for rating and ranking songs based on five categories, where each category receives a score from 1 to 5 which are then added to produce a final score. I will not be publicly posting individual category sc...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"
Elks of the Economy ... The timing gets a tiny bit loose in the percussion past the three minute mark, but only slightly. Moss Palace ... Timing on the percussion feels a bit late in the last chorus. I'm not sure what you're hearing. I did the percussion for the MP song (obvs) and I also did a lot ...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"
The Alleviators Interesting intro. Kick is a little blippy, could use just a teensy bit slower attack to fix that, but as I write this it's already starting to grow on me. Scansion is really weird in various places, like "securiTY's vulneraBLE". Vocal timing is off at times. I don't feel ...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Five "Novel"
I was very excited to hear what y'all would do with this challenge and I was not disappointed. These are all fantastic songs and it was very difficult to rank them. I hope that y'all have found a new tool for your musical toolbox, or at least sharpened one already there. The Alleviators I like how c...

For those who may be asking: No, you don't need to find a new vocalist. Keeping your existing vocalist(s) is fine, and will not count against you in the challenge, for practical reasons.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Four "June Moon"
The Alleviators Snare sounds a little boxy. Scansion issue: "what anSWER you're lookin for". Vocals are pitchy at times, such as 1:35, on the word "wane". Mix feels a bit unbalanced to the right. I like the overall vibe of the song. I like that you've written in "June Moon&...

I will also chime in and say that the samples do not need to be recognizable after processing, but if you choose to process your samples in such a way that they are unrecognizable such as turning samples into synths using something like a wavetable synth (e.g. Vital), please tell us what you did in ...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"
I had kind of expected that everyone would reach for the obvious "failed relationship" interpretation of the title and I'm pleasantly surprised how few of you did. There were a lot of very good songs this round. Just a brief reminder, I judge songs on a one-to-five scale based on Songwriti...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"
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...

Re: The Doomsday clock says we're (One Minute Closer reviews)
gizo and the ADADADAD --- Love the crunchy feel out of the gate. I get the name joke now. The way the chorus hits is nice. I like the simple structure. The song doesn't outstay its welcome. Nice one! Moody Vermin --- That's us! I've been in some kind of funk for months now and haven't been able to ...

Re: sonofgearfight #2 "Access Denied"
Hanky Code Upbeat intro! Robot voice is a little boomy, probably could shave a bit of low end off of that. It's a little hard to tell what the lyrics are, but I can tell there are some. You might mix a little of the original signal in with the vocoded version. They're a little clearer around the ti...

Moody Vermin - There is a lot going on here. I am definitely too square for how experimental this is, but I can imagine that if I was in the right state of mind, the section starting at 2:20 might transport me to another dimension. Yeah, I'm putting this one in my forum sig. :D Moody is nothing if ...
