Dejected Motives [/url] it's all about the vocoding for me. I've tried and tried but just can't get what I look for...this is what I look for. Teach me. The only other thing is that it feels a little out of time in places and it shuts down the groove.. My secret really isn't that difficult. See, th...

Alright, it looks like there are a couple of good ones this week! I'm just going to call it right now, if My Social Uniform doesn't take this fight, I will most certainly perish of shock! Hands-down, that's my personal favorite entry this week! But, there were a few other good ones as well. So, I gu...

Banana Dan: Personally, I'm glad to see more electronic music getting entered. I like the composition and layers of this song. I didn't get bored listening either. It's the type of song I would like on Pandora but skip occasionally. Maybe vote. Berkeley Social Scene: Your impromptu song writing skil...

Dejected Motives- I got tired of this stuff in the 80’s. I haven’t really recovered from 80’s synth pop. Okay submitted version is almost unlistenable. Now listening to the Soundcloud version. The mix is far better, I’m a little sad that that synth line is not distorted. The distortion was cool, th...

Actually, you don't understand. I had it sounding much better before I started having ASIO issues and turned up all of my levels. Unfortunately, I never restarted my computer and was unable to hear the song how I had originally recorded it. Does that make sense? Here, this is what the song sounded l...

HOLY BALLS!! I knew I was having technical difficulties with my ASIO driver but DAMN!! When you guys are saying those levels are hot, you're being nice! This is terrible! When I previewed the track in iTunes before I sent it, it sounded quiet and a bit distorted in the vocal range. But this is abso...

Unlike my other submissions, the ONLY use of autotune was in the chorus. The levels were higher than they should have been because my last submission was too muffled/quiet. And I had a feeling the guitar parts were too busy and contrasting. Maybe I will try a submission with no autotune whatsoever ....

Oh man... that one is almost as bad.. what the hell is going on?!! *sigh* I need more free time..

Sorry, I almost forgot to post this at all (on this sight or otherwise.) Here is a louder clearer version for any who are still interested...

Wow! There were a lot of good entries this week! What an awesome fight! Well, I suppose I'll get right into it then... Al Gore Band: I enjoyed the 'listen to my cheddar, the Lord made it sharp' lyric but the song in general didn't do much for me. Sorry. Berkeley Social Scene: The pitchiness on 'hear...

I'm an idjit. I clicked over on Saturday and clicked away. When I started to write the song it was to the previous title (you know in big letters above all the entries that you can vote on.) And didn't realize it until I went to send in the submission. So I overdubbed the one line (making sure the ...

Further proving that my motives are indeed 'dejected,' I now feel a bit like an ass for 'pre-empting' my entry while not reading a single review before listening to this week's entries.. I see what you are all saying about the couch cushion now that I hear what you are all hearing; what a terrible v...

All in all, not a bad fight! I enjoyed listening to several of these songs! So, let's get rioght to it, shall we? Berkeley: This reminds me of a song by Brand New. I don't hate it, but it doesn't impress me much either. I do like the guitar swells towards the end though. Bonus points for that. Billy...

Hello all! I want to make a few notes about my submission for this fight.. First, the song is only 5 minutes long, NOT 8. Second, I want to apologize for the poor quality of the recording. I decided at the last minute that I was going to scrap all of the work I did throughout the week and start the ...

@Happy: Thank you, I was trying to go with a creepier, more juxtaposed, Skrillex-esque dubstep tune, but I ran out of editing time. As far as lyrics go, the only lyrics are "It's threatening " and "It's threatening to so-o-o-o-ome."and I just threw in slightly different and with...

Last week I lost my entry V-Card so, this week, I think I'll pop my review cherry... Berkeley Social Scene: I like how this has a very SoCal, Beatles-esque vibe to it. It's very melodic, chill, and easy to listen to. I feel maybe a bit repetitive and lengthy with not quite enough changes to make it ...

Oh man! I was going to enter this fight but I thought the deadline said P.M. not A.M.! Oh well, I didn't have my song laid out the way I wanted it anyway... At least now I have some more music saved for future use (not for songfight songs, obviously.) Good luck to all this week's fighters!

@ signboy: As far as 'mouse-clicking' goes, only the drums were digital. Everything else was pure analog, albeit exceedingly repetitive. @ Anomaly J: Thank you. For three hours worth of total work, I'd say it wasn't terrible. The song writing left MUCH to be desired (as I already knew pre-post.) My ...
