Halloween Album - Chords of Chaos [ALBUM RELEASED]

[YakFace!]

I'm in the process of sending my .wav right now, but I'm afraid that it might not be loud enough.

For the past few hours I've been in a bit of a panic mode trying to figure out compressors and limiters since I don't know much about them yet. It's not terribly quiet, but it's definitely not as loud as the average track, and I'd rather have quiet than clipping.

I'll understand if this means that my work doesn't make the cut, even if that would be pretty disappointing for me. If anything, this experience gives me further reason to learn how those limiters and compressors work.

Besides that, thanks for starting this project! It has been a lot of fun to participate, and I've had the opportunity to try a genre that I'd never tried before while learning tons of stuff in the process.

I don't know if this matters much now but this is how I learned to master my tracks. This a really informative series on mastering whether you use Ozone or not.

[Coconeru]

I've sent in the collab between Megaphoric and I. Hope you all enjoy it~

[Nine Volt]

Dammit I should have used my Lavender Town remix that I'm working on. Oh well, it's not done yet anyway.

[Aoshi]

I sent in my submission! :3

[Macarou]

I have actually had the same volume problems with my two submissions as well. Neither of them are ridiculously quiet, but are not as loud as say, a regular track is. Although, after reading some of the advice given in the comments above, I now know how to avoid this problem in future projects and work. So yeah, thanks for the helpful advice, it is very much appreciated
Unfortunately, it is too late for me to fix this volume problem in my two submissions now. If none make it onto the album, well never mind...I had fun making these, and more importantly I learn't a very useful mixing technique.
Anyway, I wish everyone else good luck.

I'd say it definitely matters! Even if I won't be able to fix my submission here, I'll be able to improve whatever else I make in the future. Thanks! Also, after researching Ozone a bit, I've decided I want to try getting it for myself. It looks pretty helpful.

[CaptainFluffatun]

I sent in my submission with Rhyme Flow a couple of hours ago.
Are we supposed to send you the MP3, too, captain?

Naw brah

[Coconeru]

Fluffatun did you get my email with Megaphoric's Submission?

You should definitely get it! I only use it for mastering but the EQ it has is amazing. The most important plugin I own, hands down.

Fluffatun did you get my email with Megaphoric's Submission?

Indeed I did.

Here is the Bandcamp page: http://chordsofchaos.bandcamp.com/album/chords-of-chaos

We decided to release the donation link early, so you can upload your songs to YouTube if you wish. Please do not add a free download until Halloween c: I will post a mediafire download in this thread for that purpose.

If your song did not make it onto the album, please do not take it personally. If anything, please take it as drive to keep on trucking.

[Mesogears]

I'm listening to it now. That first track is FLIPPING AMAZING.

Also, before you ask: yes, I noticed track 13.

[Element6]

Looks like I didn't make it. From what I've heard so far, it's sounds really good though. Thanks for the great music.
I'll just..."keep on trucking" then. And try harder next time.

;_;

[YakFace!]

Solid Album!!!

[CaptainFluffatun]

Also, before you ask: yes, I noticed track 13.

[Cii]

I laughed.
I cried.
I screamed.

Great job, everyone! e__eb

[Mesogears]

I didn't expect to make the album, so seeing that I'm track 13 pleasantly surprised me.

[CaptainFluffatun]

THIS JUST IN: Equestria Daily has queued up the album c:

[dark_on_5]

Oh my... I thought the end line was October 31

Maybe next time!

[Macarou]

Wow, I really did not expect to have one, let alone both of my tracks make it onto the album (due to having the volume problems I mentioned in an earlier post). Thank you ever so much, and congratulations to everyone else whose tracks made it onto the album. There is some really nice tracks on this album.

Speaking of which, I have just recently fixed the volume problem in my two tracks. It was just a very minor mastering issue that I addressed/fixed thanks to the advice given on mastering and mixing. I am unsure whether or not you are able to edit/replace the song files on bandcamp once they have been uploaded. If yes, I have put the two WAV files below to replace the WAV files I sent you before the album was released. If not, anyone is free to download and replace my two songs on the album with the two remastered MP3s versions in the download links below:
Macarou - Into The Hive: http://www.mediafire.com/?ybx1nd99m3n497h (WAV)
Macarou - Into The Hive: http://www.mediafire.com/?9rh9heko70up09s (MP3)
Macarou - The Depths of Tartarus: http://www.mediafire.com/?uc3th2ct71s0l6p (WAV)
Macarou - The Depths of Tartaurs: http://www.mediafire.com/?cqp5kgllhen5fw4 (MP3)


Apologies on my behalf, I will make sure I won't make this mistake again.

If you could do that, then that would be just swell. It would be really awesome to hear the remastered versions on the album. Oh, and congratulations to you and everyone else getting this queued on Equestria Daily.

[YakFace!]

Happy Halloween everypony! xD
