Re: Song Fight Live Online 2023
I've been thinking SFL 2023: Online and Ongoing for this year's title, but I'm open to other suggestions. Love it. Also, I'm happy to lend a hand as cohost/guest etc. - I'm set up for live casting, or I could record everyone else's individual audio/video sources to edit together after the fact. I e...

Re: Song Fight Live Online 2023
In! First time doing a proper "live" video for one of these. One shot, no overdubbing or retakes. Just 4 mics and a lot of sweat

Re: SpinTunes 20 Round 4 Challenge
Notes! The Pannacotta Army: It would be so easy to make a low-effort gesture in the direction of this genre and fail terribly. As I said in the listening party though, you clearly studied! The little percussion details, the incredible sense of space - this is a master class in doing your homework an...

Re: Four minutes plus for "Hey Jude" (The Long Fade Out reviews)
My SpinTunes song was inspired by this title, but I feel it didn’t adhere to it closely enough to justify submitting it. Rock on, my friends.

What's with the impressionist OK Computer album art? Am I the only one who sees it? I like it!

Re: ST20 Round 2 Challenge - 'May I Have a Word?'
Got to these late. Thanks to the folks who have reviewed already. Berni Armstrong: That guitar sound is super brittle. There's some resonance in the like 10khz region that's a bit painful. The accent on the line "There must be something essential" feels like it should be on "must"...

Re: Spin Tunes 20 R1- Opportunity Knocks
Here we go! Listening on the same headphones I mix with. All told, I think I spent about 7 hours writing these up, which is probably something I should see a therapist about. Berni Armstrong: Upon first listen, I was put off by the low-string-tension-induced wonky tuning. By the end of that first li...

Re: New Video Camera
I've been using a Canon 80D to shoot almost all my video for the past five years. I use a 50mm prime to photograph artwork, but the lens I use most for video is a little flat pancake 24mm lens . It's great. My current lighting situation is incredibly poor, but even pushing the camera much harder th...

Re: New Video Camera
Budget? That’s the biggest factor. I’m probably the most overkill here, in that I use a Canon 5D III with a 16-35 2.8L as my “webcam.” A used dslr that’s just modern enough to be able to live monitor in that way (my 5D II can’t, for example) is a good way to go. Something in canon’s rebel or double ...

My studio setup should be functional if not complete by then, so I can probably do some presenting etc. I think the night jb and I hosted went alright.

Re: SpinTunes 19 Round 4 'What Was That Noise?' Challenge, reviews and comments
Another SpinTunes done, and likely the last music I ever write in Texas. See-Man-Ski - Super Natural Way : The boopy farfisa or whatever organ is fun, and your understated approach with it is tasty and generally perfect. Good sense of space. Have you ever tried putting like a 3% swing on your drums?...

500 Internal Server Error triggered by specific text string
I posted this in discord, but I'll post it here and clean up the discord mess. When posting a long set of reviews, I kept getting the 500 Internal Server Error whenever I'd hit preview or submit. By trial and error, I trimmed down the post to find that a text string that consistently gives the error...

Unfortunately I didn't get to these reviews until after results were in. I still feel the exercise is worthwhile for me, though. Also In Blue - Howling at the Moon : As fun as it is, and as good as it feels to have that leslie spinning right up front and hard panned, it's good to put a bit of room t...

Re: SpinTunes 19 Round 3 'Let's Circle Back to That' Challenge, reviews and comments
Thanks for writing reviews, seemanski! [...] At first I thought this song was about recovering from addiction. I saw the six month chip as being the chip you get when you have abstained for six months from something. I'm guessing it is more in reference to going on tour at war. [...] You're right on...

It'll Be Ok by Sober Just turned in my six month chip A load of Copenhagen in my bottom lip And I shake out a fresh one and take a drag 24 days to recuperate One for every week that I was away That’s a lot of time to kill and it’s killin me And if I were French I could have had a half a glass a da...

Re: Songfight Live 2022 IRL Interest Poll
I'm interested in a live show because putting my dumb videos together is a ton of effort. On the other hand, a live show strips me of all of my post-production tricks that make me sound less like shit. A real conundrum.

Bummed we get no With Joe or Fluke Wilson this week. That's ok though, as we have a lovely batch of songs here. *** Melody Klein - Etude No. 15 - Virtual : Seems like you're often right on the threshold of whatever gate you're using or is built into the vocoder. Not sure if it adds or is distracting...
