Here ya go. Don't take my criticism too harsh, k? <3

-The beginning white noise thing? I don't know about you but it's too long. You could probably fade it out earlier.
-When the melodic sounds come in, it seems good, except for the squeaky noises are hurting my ears, turn the highs down a bit?
-At 1:10 you could try adding hi-hats in between the kick and snare, or rides on every 4th
-at 1:19, when the beat quits out, if you added rides before, you could keep them playing
-1:28 omg amazin
-2:03, make the gross beat presets a bit less noticeable, it's kinda obvious
-2:18, that synth comes in too harshly, maybe add a volume automation / cutoff frequency automation

Does someone want to help me with a song title? (Feedback is good too but not needed)

I think the song title is good, and here is some unorganized feedback:

Melody is great, but the way it slides is kind of hard for me to follow. It might just be me, but it interferes with the songs flow a bit.
I like a lot of the synths.
Kick needs a lot more power behind it. It's really quiet right now. Same with the snare.
The base melody has the same progression throughout the whole song. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes changing up the progression every once in a while can add some more variety to the song.
The ending could be better.

Overall, it needs some work, but it's sounding great so far! I'm not sure if you plan on going back to fix up the song, but if you do, consider the things I said :3

Here's some unorganized feedback:

Kick could be a bit better.
The drums before the drop are good, but need to not go on for so long.
The drop doesn't flow very well too me, and in some parts it seems like certain instruments go on for way too long at some points.
The bass needs to be sidechained more, as it gets annoying to listen to for long period of time with little to no sidechain.
There is no really melody in this song, which I feel like you should really add because there is no hook right now.
The bass needs more power to it. It feels light right now.
The composition could be better.

Overall, it could be a good song, but it needs a lot of work. A lot of parts don't sound right and sometimes even sound out of tune.

I started this today and I'm really feeling it so far. I gave feedback a page or two back, but I'll give some more when I have a bit more time.

Nice vocal chopping, cool effects too. I like the kicks. I think the drop into the bassy part at 0:54 is good, but I think this part is a bit monotone so far in comparison to the rest of the track in my opinion - it sounds awesome though, it just needs something more, although it is at the very end of a wip, so it's probably not finished

Not much else to comment on, but I really like it so far

Pretty good. All I can say (i'm writing this at like 2 in the morning for some reason ) is to beef it up a little. It feels a little flat and needs something else to accompany it.

Time to bust out the AKG cause it's time for vocals!

[DXsmiley]

I've created something else that I might submit. It's my first real house, I think. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/454 ... %20WIP.mp3
Give feedback on this if you want, or not. I'll give my thoughts on someone else's track once I get time.

Kick needs some more low-end.
Try increasing the attack time on the that bass slightly. It's a bit like walking into a glass door at the moment.
The drum fill just before the drops needs allot of work. Try arranging the drums so they make a general downwards slope in pitch.
Stuttering at 1:14 highlights the needs for some a longer attack on the bass.
The bass drone at 2:01 is really annoying. Try making it pulse. (high-cut autofilter).
That bass thing at 3:00 is entertaining
3:30 That drop feels really weak in the bass.
Are you changing the pitch of the kick there? Don't do that.
BTW, for an 11-year-old your song has some very... colourful tags

That's really strange. Good work.
I'd remove the vocal glitch past the 0:35 point.
The bass in the drop feels really weak.
Also, I think you should increase the volume of the xylophone(?) slightly.

I dunno what it is exactly about this at this stage that bugs me, but it sounds a lot like it's a backing track to something at this point. I don't know if you're planning to add a melody, vocals, or something really prominent to this, but I'd recommend doing it as it just sounds... empty right now.

On the other side of things, Most of it sounds pretty nice. I might get a more prominent snare going, or dd more high end to the spectrum, and a few other things, but those are mostly opinion.

I've been working on this WIP a little bit, fixed a bunch of things, and if I could get feedback from anyone, it'd be appreciated. Name is still tentative, and I have no idea what to actually call it.

I submitted my two tracks a few days early because I'll be out of town when the deadline rolls around, hope nobody minds!

when I want to submit my track for Rainbow and Rooted I have to add a youtube link, but I don't have the full version of it on my youtube channel. Is it okay to add a link to the teaser/preview?

You're not allowed to submit yoiu original R&R track. It will only be rejected. Again. Read the OP for full details.

Actually, if you were working on a song for R&R but didn't submit it, would you be allowed to submit it for this?

[Nine Volt]

I'm sure you would. You definitely would if you, you know, didn't mention that fact. Either way I doubt they care all that much.

[Jokeblue]

If it wasn't actually submitted into the Rainbow and Rooted contest it should be fine.

15+ hours of work into this, completely scrapped it and started over 3 times. Here is what I came up with. It might have a familiar... ring to it... Heh heh. Enjoy!

Just so you know, the video should be set to private/unlisted

[Dyrilby]

Ahhh shit.... Hard drive crash all up in this... Now I have four days to completely redo my track... This is going to be fun...

Ah buck it then. Not sure why the runner-ups of the original submission are so unworthy to be considered but if THAT's the case then I'm out. I'm certainly not going to scrap together a second track so it can probably be thrown out on the next comp a second time. I don't know if there's any revenue expected on this follow-up to get people people to bronycon which was the point of the first one....

To answer your original question, you can upload a video of your song to YouTube, but make sure to make it unlisted or private until the album is released. You can then submit the link of the private video.
