Undo the terioration (Deteriorate prefight)

Post by Lunkhead »

Optional challenge:

Deteriorate something

I think, I'm just paraphrasing Deep Throat there. Corrections to the optional challenge may be forthcoming...

I should do something this time because the 5 years ago of 'When Did You Know' finally came up and that was my first fight.
hmmmmmm. maybe I'll deteriorate my entry.

I think, "Unto the Terioration" is a nice hook.

I'm in with a recording that is not intentionally deteriorated. Somehow it just does that.

The Jerks are in. I had an idea for the optional challenge that didn't quite work out, so it got cut. I took the last chorus of our song and converted it to mp3 at 160k, 128k, 112k, 96k, 80k, 64k, 56k, 48k, 40k, 32k, 16k, and 8k and then stitched it all together. You didn't really notice at first, and then you really noticed it. Unfortunately there were ugly pops where I stitched them together (should have done some cross fading or something) and I felt like I could have accomplished much the same thing with EQ changes.

Oh man, that's such a good idea. Logic has some built-in plugins that end up sounding like shitty mp3 encoding artifacts as you crank them up (such as the noise reduction plugin). And then of course there's always bitcrusher which degrades things in a different way.

I went to post the songs and realized we don't have any art. Can anybody help out with that? I have limited image editing tools at my disposal at the moment, not to mention limited inspiration and artistic ability...

Just put something in there.

Didn't clear it with the Silverstein estate ahead of time - it's re-drawn, but it may as well be a photocopy/scan. I promise to change it to something completely original if anyone receives a C&D.

Crap. How did I not see (or not remember?) the "Right There at the Edge" cover art by Father Bingo before I did the Deteriorate cover art?
