Rainbow & Rooted: Four's Fall Down

[Stakeout Punch]

I'd like an explanation as to why I failed.

If there was any feedback/comments from the judges on your track, Circuitfry can give you a copy of them. Drop him a message.

Not completely true... Oh wait, you were the one that asked I didn't notice that I'm being dead serious I noticed it just as I was about to hit submit so I just added this sentence in.(the post thing)

Post:
"Due to a lack of time, we couldn't write out our thoughts on the mixing and composition etc on every piece. You happen to be far enough down on the list to where we had to do our judging mentally to save time."

I asked for the review on mine but he is probably swamped with request asks/my name starts with S which is damn far down the list.

[Aoshi]

I'm confused. Where are the songs from Lavender Harmony and Circuitfry?

[Aoshi]

Also, if there is no plan for an After Party then I will start a thread for it myself. I've heard a great deal of the entries and I can absolutely say for certain there are enough good songs to warrant another album.

I'm guessing that they got cut.

That would be pretty cool, I'd be down for assisting however possible.

Lavender thought her track wasn't ready and it'll be released on an EP she's finishing this month. Circuit's was rejected, surprisingly.

now to listen to everything properly!

[LDY]

I guess mine's ended up being a tad too bland perhaps so I didn't get accepted. Though I wish I knew what I did "wrong" so I could improve it. >w< But anyways, a SUPER congratulations to everyone who DID make the cut! Excellent job! (And a special congrats to Thomas H. as he was doubting himself when I knewww he'd make it, good job buddy~!)

[MYCUTIEMARKISAGUN]

If you don't make the cut that means the song is awful

you didn't even try and you shuld quit music

You heard the man.

Well if anyone needs help organizing a Rainbow & Rejected let me know I'd be glad to help but i've only a got a week before a week of vacation. When we did Second Chances we posted the youtubes up and let participants choose from their peers from a polling website. I still think letting participants help decide what makes it in is the best means. There's no point in people only submitting their own tracks but not listening to what other people make as well. The toastbeard way is to listen and feel involved in what gets chosen as good.

We don't need cfy to help with after party album that's something that people can arrange themselves. Hopefully the audio and youtube links are now public or soon can be opened back up.

Same here, I'd kind of like to know what aspects of my song were off as apposed to what (if anything) I was doing right.

So I'll throw my song into the thread too to see what you guys think

...If you don't mind, that is

[AJ_]

Anyone want to collaborate, im on summer break now and have two mounts of Musiq making; going to release my first (and second) album, one brony (the other Non-brony)... any takers?

Oh and PS, my "R&R" song will be in the brony one

[StevenAD]

Well, I listened past all the terrible rock and it got much better again. StevenAD's song is glorious. Expectations raised again.

BARELY ADEQUATE FOR RAINBOW AND ROOTED 2013 MIXING WE CAN'T BELIEVE IN

[Navron]

Well, rejected 2 years in a row. That hurts.

It's good to hear the album sounds like it's more diverse and balanced than BP was, although I won't get a chance to listen to it until after I get back from this detachment.

[PhillyPu]

Don't worry Navron, let us cry together in the corner. Just you and me and a few dozen other musicians. Blubbering messes. All of us.

I may as well throw my track in here since everyone's doing so anyways:

This one's pretty cool. It sounds more suited to Balloon Party, though.

[DA MAGICS °-°]

First off, congratulations to everyone who made it on R&R and to the organizers and judges, you have my respect for pulling it off like you did.
Overall, I'm pretty shure there is no other way the album should have turned out!

That said, I can't help but feel disappointed. It's just that I already had my little list of favorite r&r entries that I carried around on my mp3 player, NONE of which made it on the album.
There's very few tracks on there I can enjoy quite like PhillyPu's BronyBug, dito for tracks by Gums of Gabby, Challa, Baq5 and even though the mixing definitely wasn't good enough,
my own stuff.
Seeing as this is a matter of taste, I think there's easily enough material for a compact spin-off album that's excellent in a slightly different way.

So in case anyone wants to band together for a "butthurt and booted" or "rabid and rejected" or something, here are my entries:

[Nexgen]

You want me to be honest?

I didn't think my band's track would get in. (S.UPER W.AIFU A.NIMATED G.IRLFRIEND)

I was surprised as shit to see it on there. We didn't have the best of mixing, and we're all a bunch of noobs when it comes to producing music and stuff. All the instruments were recorded some freaking way, and we somehow recorded clean vocals. That's all I can tell you. While I'm glad we made the album, I feel as though there might have been another track that may have been better suited. But that can't be changed now.

Also, FluttERR is my fave, followed by Made Up My Mind and WonderDash. What can I say? Rappers gonna like rap.

[Viricide Filly]

Is there any way I can get in contact with Flutterwhat? I'd like to remix Teach Me Your Secrets o3o

You could message him on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/Sharkju2

[Decmaster IX]

I'll jump on the rejected track bandwagon. If anyone would be so kind as to offer me advice on how I could improve this track, you'd be my favorite person. For real.


1080p is your friend

[TheAnonymousColt]

My track is up on youtube now, for anyone still browsing this dying thread

[itroitnyah]

Wow, seems like everybody who didn't make it just decided to label their track as a rejected submission, lol. I personally, just uploaded it to youtube. It was a nonpony song anyways, so it doesn't matter all that much

[AJ_]

Dose everyone want to know exactly why they didn't make the album?

1. listen to the tracks on R&R
2. read the genre of the tracks
3. listen to your track(s)

dose it sound or is it the same; if not, that is why your song wasn't on R&R; the judges strictly wanted the genre that Circuitfry listed; it doesn't mean your song was bad, just didn't fit in.

Like mines, it was a smooth - epic song, my perception of RD.

Or it could be that you weren't good enough. I mean, someone else did the same genre as I did and they made it and I didn't. Not complaining, just saying I wasn't good enough, and while perhaps some people got cut because of genre considerations, I don't think this was the majority and I think people need to realize this and let it drive them to improve.
