"Lesser Knowns" (Official Event Thread)

[Belgerum]

I dunno. I kinda feel like I'm already really close to being finished...

Also, if me and colortwelve are confirmed to make remixes for the album, should we submit what we have for those on the 4th as well?

[Matthew N.]

Depends on what you want in the album - original song or that remix. We have to stick to the rules of 1 song per artist, I guess.

Besides, I honestly can't wait till 4th. I need that freaking feedback ASAP. I currently have so much free time on my hands and nobody wants to help.

[Belgerum]

Normally I don't promote this, but this is the point where it may help to SHAMELESS PLUG on this thread, the Skype chat, or somewhere. You don't have to get ALL of your feedback on the 4th, I assume. Heck, if you PM me or something, I'd be glad to give you a critique. Just post around and ask nicely, and I'm sure you can get some feedback. =)

[Belgerum]

same kind of plug. Except I am more of a Music Theory nerd than a mastering nerd. :3

I dunno, I'm more of a compositional and orchestration nerd than theory, but I suck at mastering more than you, probably. XP

[Belgerum]

LOL true.

[Matthew N.]

Interesting that when I asked for it on THE skype chat, all I've heard was silence. And I did ask for pointers a couple of times while getting onto skype - never received any ideas, feedback whatsoever from the people that were present on THAT skype chat. All I ever received was a very few notes when the track was at very early stage, while after I've had its layout finished - none.

[Belgerum]

While I have to say it definitley seems like the Skype chat would do something like that, it isn't the only place where you can post your work. why not post it here? I'd be glad to give it a listen, and I'm sure others would too.

I DIIIIIIIIIID a number of pages ago. I even linked to my WIP thread.

EDIT: Since you asked, I'll repost the link anyway: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2852

So, I finally have a track in the works. Here's a short demo: http://soundcloud.com/glitchhog/white-cords-sensory

The piano is there in place of guitar for the chuggy sections, as I still need to find a decent virtual amp for my guitar (but I have learned it through my actual amp). I'll be adding vocals as soon as I can find a vocalist who can scream, but I've gotten lyrics written up and everything. (:

It IS metal, though. And very jarring and experimental, so it's a bit of an acquired taste. The lyrics are also very personal to me. They deal with a lot of my past that I haven't quite let go of yet. But you'll hear those when I find a vocalist, haha. I'll be doing the clean vocal sections though. (I can post the lyrics if you'd like to see them.)

I like it! although the velocities about 5 seconds in feel incredibly generic and robotic. If that makes any sense... you had some good synths coming your way at 0:36, but during the faster parts of your song it felt very robotic and I honestly felt kinda detached while listening to it. I loved the slow sections there.

Thanks. (: Regarding the velocities, I assume you mean the piano, which is only there for now. I guess... just try to hear guitar or something. It won't be in the final version, just for now so I know what I need to play. x3

[colortwelve]

Just opened up FLS tonight, not really knowing what was going to happen, and my remix of Belgerum's track fell into place quite neatly. And it's a very... interesting piece of work in terms of genre. I am now uber-excited for the WIP sync-listen.

What I got so far, It's pretty much done except I didn't really balance out the levels and I don't really know how to ponify this in any way. I'm also going to make a Stepmania version, along with an extended one.

[Belgerum]

BTW, has anyone actually mentioned this album to EQ Daily like was mentioned way earlier?

[Matthew N.]

I am lesser than lesser known there, so I believe it should be someone that got there a few times before, and is kinda... "known" by the owners.

[Belgerum]

I dunno. I'll probably send them a link or something. BMO may want to edit this thread's OP first though, just to make things a bit more presentable.

we need to have a trailer available! we should get possibly a multi-WIP trailer video ready for the WIP deadline (which I'll still try to gun for, but good luck with that!) and have someone mix that together, and submit it to EQD as News/Music ([email protected])

[LFP]

I could do a video : )

Edit: nvm forgot I was traveling so I'll have no time :\

Y U TEASE!?

Because I'm mean.. and because I forget things : |

[LFP]

Idk how you forget traveling, but do you know anyone who is good with video!? D:

Yes, the guy I'm traveling with XD

No but seriously I'll be home the 20th so unless you find anyone able to do a video I'll do it then/you release without a video ^_^

[Matthew N.]

That would be awesome. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo approving this and willing to provide my WIP for it.

mhmm.... well now I have nooooo idea wut to do D:

well, my DAW (YEAH MIXCRAFT!) has a basic video editor, so...

I just can't do fun stuff like Equilizers in-video in Mixcraft, and my version of Flash (back when it was owned by Macromedia instead of Adobe) is ActionScript 1.0, so no sound-triggered animation

(I totally suggested that a few pages back...)

That would be awesome though.
