... of course, the real trick is to avoid ones that have already been used.Bjam wrote:So many Phantom jokes possible.

I don't understand what exactly is challenging about the optional challenge. Isn't that just a matter of which options you select when you encode? I don't get it.

i could be wrong but i think it has to do with the "original" file limits for submission. and to maybe discourage josh woodward from entering.Jim of Seattle wrote:I don't understand what exactly is challenging about the optional challenge.

There is somewhat of a technique to making a song that sounds good in mono 64kbps. One part of it is a reversal of the standard monitoring philosophy-- instead of trying to make a mix that sounds good on any system, you have to be conscious that you're making a mix that specifically sounds good in mono at a fairly low compression rate. (Plus somewhat thinking about it in terms of all the systems it will be played on.)
blippity blop ya don’t stop heyyyyyyyyy

Ah, so that's what 'old school' means. It means 'old'.john m wrote:I dig the old school titles. Very nice.
Avoid bright sounds. Minimise white noise like snare drums, hihats, skakers and tape hiss which 'hog' the bandwidth. If you're using distorted guitars, aim for the Black Sabbath sound. If you're using synths, avoid sawtooth or square based sounds - use sine and PWM.john m wrote:There is somewhat of a technique to making a song that sounds good in mono 64kbps.

Yeah, OK. I can see that now. Mixing something knowing it's going to be loo-fi and mono could change one's decision-making process. OK. Glad I asked.
I'm with you, fluffy. I had promised myself I was going to submit this week no matter what, even if (though) all I'd be able to manage was a
1:08 solo guy and piano song. Then when the titles came out I had nothing.

Well, my point was just that I've had <em>four years</em> to think about this title (and I actually have, on and off), and I still got nothing.Jim of Seattle wrote:I'm with you, fluffy.
