Members mikelpanky Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 So is it okay if my piece is included/released under the name "Video Home System"? I have a lot of good pieces there already, and I'd like to keep it "in the family". I can do a totally original piece if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted August 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 on the official comp, you can be listed anyway you want: artist, band name whatever. the track can also be one you've had sitting around or made new. it's up to you as long as it fits the theme. forum names are / were only for holding slots. speaking of, I can bow out of the way if someone else really wants on. I run the blog, but I want the focus to be on the community. hows every one doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rooftree Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 Metro: I hope you don't bow out. You got this thing rolling and you, above everyone else, deserve to be on it. The song that I'm hearing in my mind is in perfect shape. It's incredible! But the song in my DAW is still in a shabby state. I've recorded a handful of great-sounding (at least to me) snippets. I need to weave them together into a cohesive song. My biggest challenge is going to be the creation of a swimming, shimmering wall of effects for some of the sounds. That's a bit beyond my capabilities right now. I've got some stretching to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted August 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 reverb chains and some times, if you can, setting a couple of serial filters with different modulation rates can help on the other side of the reverbs. Stupid gearslutz doesn't understand that insert reverb and effects is actually good for ambient music grumblegrumblegrumblegrumblegrumblegrumble anyway .. i'm just saying, it would hurt me more to have someone be left out. and it's also partly because i'm wanting to go in a cheeserific direction and I don't want to appear silly next to someone that's going to pull out some awesome stadium anthem. but actually, from what i've heard so far, I can assume all skill levels will be represented, which is what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm still learning the DAW and computer setup... but this should be my very first project with it. Rooftree: Valhalla Shimmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Citizen Klaus Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 forum names are / were only for holding slots. speaking of, I can bow out of the way if someone else really wants on. I was actually thinking of making the same offer. I realize you want all skill levels represented, but I really don't think I've got anything that's ready for prime time, and I doubt that I will by the end of the month.

Members burster Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 My track is in the works and has some guitar mixed in for now. Without the guitars it sounds old school electronic and with them it rocks so... ...i'm not sure what to do with the mix yet. One thing for sure is a little Line 6 combo recorded with a Royer 121 sounds huge. I used a small combo instead of a head/cab setup for a smaller sound but, the Royer has such a big midrange the tracks still came out big. :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going for Cocteau Twins meet The Cure. Digital FX, flanger, piles of reverb and delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the guitars it sounds old school electronic and with them it rocks so...Leave 'em in. I think a few '80s songs had guitar in them. Mine has guitar in it, but it's looking like it's going to take a flippen miracle for me to find time to finish it...Un-fun busy summer; I haz it.

Members Rooftree Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 working on it. Not pleased, though. Me too! I'm struggling with the vocals. Worst case, I can submit a synth-only (no vocals) version by 11:59 pm Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KingVidiot Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 I wanted to make something for a change, but I had the stomach flu and assorted side effects for the last few days. Bile and synths don't go well together (well, maybe with supersaws). I can't wait to hear what people submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
