Don't talk about piracy here, it's against the rules :3

We need to set up a bigger skype session for the weekend.

why don't we just invite everypony that's participating into the skype we have set up now?

Why am I not already in said Skype?

[colortwelve]

You do.

[Maelstrom]

I has skype. I think you have mine kyoga... add me to this giant skypethingy.

[Anorax]

we should make a soundcloud group as well. I'm willing to do it right now if need be

EDIT: Group made, come join!

afaik you don't have to have a soundcloud account to use the group's dropbox

but whatever, here it is

[LFP]

Could someone *cough* perhaps anorax *cough* cut of the silent part and upload my song to the soundcloud group, please? :3
Song: http://www.mediafire.com/?a7a18uh28jjs4x1
group: http://m.soundcloud.com/groups/mlr-lesser-knowns
I got no Internet (currently on phone), would be greatly appreciated!

(note: I haven't done much to the vocals yet so they sound dull and boring )

[Anorax]

I'll see what I can do.

LFP, what BPM was your song?

[LFP]

I think it's 130, not sure though.
I haven't been able to work on it for awhile with finals going on and stuff :\

[ChromaticChaosPony]

I will try to have Skype by this weekend.

[Anorax]

a teaser mix, work in progress: http://soundcloud.com/anoraxofficialmusic/wip-teaser-list-work-in

featuring (but not in this order):
Kyoga, LFP (I think, unless he didn't do the Aviators remix), colortwelve's remix of Belgerum, and Matt

[MixolydianPony]

Well... I procrastinated, and now I'm stuck with an 80's hair metal song with some lead guitar that sounds like a teenage guitarist wannabe trying to emulate Eddie Van Halen.

But at least it'll be finished on time, right?

[Anorax]

Anorax, can you put the high frequencies back in my track. :3
it sounds like I'm playing it inside a bass drum.

but... I didn't touch the filters...

maybe the broadcast multiband compressor thought it needed volume adjustment? hmm, I'll look into it, might have to add an equilizer to that certain track

[Matthew N.]

Oh God, that pitch! I said stay outta my pitch! It both sounds distorted and pulls out so many high frequencies.

Why did you even change the pitch? You can easily mix tracks without that. Besides, I have and I will say this again: There is no need to change the tempo, pitch or anything at all. It can and it will (<3 Legion) sound awesome without that.

EDIT: Sorry for giving out that rude vibe: I do like the mix - but I don't like what my track has come down to. That distortion is really huge.

Yes it was I who did that horrible remix ^_^

I started with your song, which was in the key of A. The Friendship remix was in the key of E (According to my DAW, which I didn't verify beforehand). they were both at the relatively same tempo, which was around 128, my daw started up at 130, which I didn't bother to change. I had to pull your song down one semitone to match with the Friendship remix better, trying to reduce as much distortion as possible. However, if I had used Melodyne, I would have gotten better results and less distortion, and it probably wouldn't have lost so many frequencies.
Sure, technically you can mix Amin and Emin because it's a fourth, but for some reason it wasn't working, probably because the Friendship remix was in fact, not in the key of E.

I apologize if you were upset by that at all.

EDIT: high frequency lost might have to do with that multiband compressor as well, I'll look into it.
Once again, I apologize

[colortwelve]

Just a, uh, suggestion or something, try to make that cut in my remix sound a bit less obvious... That, or I could adjust the automation and give you a version that's cut shorter

I found it difficult to figure out how to make that cut not-obvious... I'll work on that

[skrullz]

i wish i couldve joined

[Matthew N.]

i wish i couldve joined

We have people who dropped out. This needs to be confirmed, but if you have a song/WIP ready to show on 4th (+2 weeks after that for the official album release), then it is possible you can get in.


@ Anorax

Not only did the quality drop to like 64kbps (it feels that way), but the song is completely different. Wasn't the advert supposed to promote the actual songs from the album? Just saying.

[ChromaticChaosPony]

I am best dropout! Sorry, I can't make the deadline.

[LFP]

I am best dropout! Sorry, I can't make the deadline.

sad to see people leaving.

[3M0 DJ]

So wait... Can I join this if people drop out of it?
