"Lesser Knowns" (Official Event Thread)

[LFP]

Lol. Holy crap that was crazy.
uh..
ok, I think that the piano, especially in the intro, needs to have some modified velocity so it doesn't sound so robotic. (even if it's just a little change in velocity, it can make a huge difference)
I think that I would lighten the distortion of the the leading bass that comes in at about 0:22.
It seems to be so far distorted that I have to put real effort into deciphering what i'm actually listening to.

Apart from that though, I think it sounds REALLY good! I like it alot.
I especially love the bit at 0:06. Easily my favorite part, wish you would have extended it a little bit.

oh ya. MAKE IT LONGER> D:< Y U TEASE ME WITH AWESOME SONG THEN END IT IN 1 MINUTE!


btw, I've got less than 2,000 views, so i'm not far ahead of you guys. XD

Thanks! It really means alot, I will see what I can do about the distortion.
I made it today and didn't have time to finish it, it will obviously be much longer.

Thank god that the sounds don't clash or anything as I suck at EQ'ing hopefully as I reach my 2nd month of music I'll be better at that :3

[natsukashi]

haha, i found your youtube.
you're really into speed music, aren't you. Lol.

Heh, yes. I am a speed freak. I rarely do stuff below 170bpm. Though I'm trying to change that and get into melodic stuff as well.
And thank you. :3

(I also have a tendency to creep people out. Signature quote is related.)

[Ed Viper]

I like it too! Haha. Also, I've kinda sorta started on something for this, I'm just hoping I can make it pony-related somehow >.<

[Ed Viper]

I'm excited to get a legit WIP out for..... uh..... grading. XD

Yeah, same here. I've put up some stuff and got it critiqued before but that was the first stuff I've posted up here... I feel like I've gotten better since then.

Everything I've made so far consists of bad house, bad trance, and a decent dubstep track XD

But I promise what I contribute will be better than other stuff I've made

[Matthew N.]

Make my flutterstep famous!

[Matthew N.]

where can I find this legendary "flutterstep" you hath spoken of?!

Nothing special - especially the youtube FLV/MP4 quality.

EDIT: fixed some mastering issues post-uploading to youtube, but the problems are only kinda audible on a good headset.

[FlyingNinjaBannanas]

Well, If I can, I'll put myself in the ring for this.

The worse that can happen is that I don't finish in time so, why not try?

[bmo13]

I've only been doing music for a month thus considering myself very bad (as previously stated). I do not by any means whish to take a slot from a 'better' artist, nor will I have my feelings hurt if I'm rejected as I know that I'm indeed really bad : P


But, I made this today as an early wip, and was woundering if it is good enough so far?
Oh and 0:42 is just a place holder, was thinking of adding some pony samples around there.


=] Original name, indeed.
I perhaps overdid the disortion ;S

Why you no comment? D:

Is it really that bad? ; (


Oh and what about posting teasers on youtube?
Allowed/not allowed?

HOLY SHIT THIS IS HARD HARD HARD!!!!! Love your stuff dude!

[Trixie]

This seems interesting. I think I'll participate!

[MatthewMosierMusic]

I may get in on this. though, my creative juices are running low... gonna be interesting.

My suggestion with this event, though, would be to develope NEW music. Not stuff that you've actually had out for a while.

Awesome song though. I had alot of fun listening to this, as I often do with ponymusic. Lol.
i'm guessing you use massive?

Yeah, it's been out for whole 6 days. / Thanks / Yes, but I still suck with it. I am mostly using free VSTs (gotta love NoiseMaker!)

[bmo13]

This seems interesting. I think I'll participate!

Great! I'll add you to the list!

[K3WRO]

I'm thinking of making a J-core-ish Happy Hardcore track to symbolize fluttershy. How does that sound?

I CANT DO JACK WITH VIDEO. I am so horribly, undeniably terrible at it.

Otherwise I would just put in "Perils of the Petty Bourgeoisie" and "Bringing the Rain" and call it good.
The point of this is for all the newer artists to come together and develope some new genuine music to show the world what they can really do!
(correct me if i'm wrong)

Awesome song though. I had alot of fun listening to this, as I often do with ponymusic. Lol.

I'm always happy to throw together anybody's music into a quick 1080p upload for them. Just shoot me a message.

[Matthew N.]

It is in 1080p, with the best audio settings Sony Vegas had to offer. It's the youtube that re-renders it to lower quality videos (FLV/MP4).

[LFP]

I made a proper intro now (I should probably stop spamming it here) also lowered the disortion : P
Everything after the chorus is probably going to be completly remade and it will be longer.

BRB MAKING AN AWESOME VIDEO OF THIS

Oh, I misread your post then. Yeah, YouTube likes to Derp things up, that gets annoying.

Yeah, it is very annoying - especially when listening to it on headphones. On speakers not so much, as subwoofers will eat up the higher frequencies resulting from quality drop.

I guess I'll start exporting my FL projects in 450kbps instead of 320.

[Ed Viper]

Eagerly awaiting when the due date is announced...Unless it already has been. In which case I'm glad I've already started working.

[MixolydianPony]

I would like to participate.

Have we decided on one track/artist, or is that still up in the air?

[Belgerum]

I would also like to participate. This seems like a good learning experience, and I'm all about self-improvement.

[Matthew N.]

I'm curious of the following: If two peeps signed up as separate artists, does their collab count as an entry for both, or we can still add 1 more song of oneself?

Idk, I think it should count as one song. That way we can squeeze more people in. Also, Other participants have all been added to the list.

are there any off-limit genres for this?

Nope! Read the first post.

[ElementOfJazz]

OK for some reason I can't find my post in here and I DEFINITELY don't see me on the list there... So yeah. I'm wanting to be on this with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rem91nm6EAg

[Expy]

Whoa, I have no internet for a day and a half and there's a new thread for it, and it's huge. I'd still love to participate if there's room.
