Two weeks is more then enough time to come up with a decent sounding track. I'll see what I can do.

Well,I'm not exactly certain if this will work out right, but I never really got much feedback on my mastering of my track and such, so I might as well post this here.



Also, just for clarification, is this album ONLY for tracks that were rejected from R&R, or could I potentially try to whip up something new in 2 weeks?

Okay, nearly done

EDIT: Did not mean with the full track I'm not that fast; only the main themes and backings

Yes! Time to redeem myself. And finally make use of vengeance. I might remake an old song of mine.

Belgy, your composition is great, but you could use some more elements in your production. Your track sounds like a 90's computer game.

The drums: more than one loop, better samples

The Choir: Cheese to the maximum, get it out of there.

violins: nah bruh, get some crisper strings.

The whole thing isn't fast enough, or stylish enough.
You need way more movement. That snare needs to pop, those violins need to shine, the guitar needs to be angrier, and make the harp a different instrument entirely. The mixing can make or break a track. And bad samples either need to be replaced or fixed. And good samples need some processing to make them better. I've heard a lot of your songs, Belg, and they have a lot of the same issues.

Aye, we were all at that stage before, dude. Don't get down. Focus on working on your skills and you'll get great in no time.

I am going to be making an entirely new song for this, but I am looking for some help on it. I like the way it sounds so but it is super repetitive and in the same key.

I am looking for one person for help me make it better and maybe show me a thing or two about music production. Must use FL Studio.

I only use the basics that come with the producer edition, no extra Plugin's or VST's (Yeah lame, I know.)
PM me, thanks!

So, posting tracks in thread is enough? Or do we need to send PMs or add people on Skype?

@R-Y-S-E: That laser near the beginning threw me off. Maybe choose a different sample. Near the beginning, you definitely know how to keep it interesting, despite not keeping anything there for long. Of course, that's kind of your problem. The track doesn't change too much throughout its stay. It keeps the same energy level, mainly the same instruments, and sometimes the same melody and tune. You need to branch out when it comes to synths, as utilizing more synths effectively could keep the attention of the listener without as many rises, crashes, and sweeps.
*Stuff*
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I can make some changes now for this :D

We are rating all the tracks. This 1) gives you the option of transforming that track into optimus prime or 2) creating a new song that could defeat the megazord. whether it be your old one, or new one, make it GOOD, don't worry about production quality

Wait you're rating all the R&R tracks, or just rating all the tracks being submitted to 'One Last Shot'?

Symphon, that was the most concise piece of criticism I got for my track throughout the 5 fricking months of making it. Thanks!

I was gonna say something about the title and how I liked 8 stand up, and end of the rainbow, but it appears Circuit has other ideas haha. Oh well.

Symphon, thanks heaps for the critique, I was having some doubts about those drum levels. I wasn't quite sure what I should have done with them. I think I got to a point where I just thought "screw it" and forgot to fix it later.

Looks like I'm gonna try convert this thing to Optimus prime.
