Maybe you should upload it to SoundCloud, mark it as private, and post the 'secret link' here?

That's why I said to right click it and choose "save as"... dropbox doesn't like playing wave files. Whatever, I'll upload it to soundcloud for now(caution it sounds weird on soundcloud for some reason):

Out of a combination of boredom and a sudden urge to make banners, I managed to conjure up the following:

I couldn't find any way of resizing them to actual wallpaper size without cleaving the quality straight in two. But, yeah. Images and stuff. Woo hoo.

Yeah these are amazing; so now people can stop using my horrible wallpapers.

Lol, thank you. Is there anything that could improve though?

[Anorax]

mmm, not really. I did post a few (as in 3 ) comments on the soundcloud page though

I SHALL JOIN THIS TIME

I SHALL JOIN THIS TIME

OMG, SimGrietina!! I'm looking foward to this

[itroitnyah]

Yay! Now we just need a few more big people to join and we're golden! This is awesome!

[NeonJalapeno]

Wait, I already uploaded my full song to YouTube instead of a teaser. Was I not supposed to do that?

[Matthew N.]

This almost sounded like you only want "big" people in. What about the "little" ones like me?

no, but you could make it unlisted and have the whole song here anyway!

[DannyMirage]

I'll bring cookies.

Well, if this is going to be like Balloon Party, there are going to be a little under 50 songs. And I'll bet that Equestria Daily won't feature us if we don't have anybody who's recognized. Ponies crave the music of famous bronies and pegasisters. So getting a few other big, huge people to join would work wonders for us, as well as getting some of us filly producers up in the spotlight too! And don't think that if this gets featured on EqD and top selling album on bandcamp just like Balloon Party did, that you'll get flooded with subscribers or anything. I found about 10 songs from Balloon Party that I actually liked, and upon looking up one of the lesser knowns, (DJEchelon) his video has less then 3,000 views in the time that Balloon Party has been out. And of course Alex S's and PPS's has over 10,000. So getting more big people in there is merely to get this ablum known amongst bronies and get then to download it, so that they will hopefully know of us, and maybe a few will subscribe.

Since Breakcore is all good, I'm in. About half-way through production... Anyponies good with said genre, please contact me somehow. I need some advice.

[itroitnyah]

I HOPE YOU GUYS DON'T MIND

[Rainbowjack]

My work in progress, how do I make this more pony?

You add pony vocals, or incorporate ponies into the title of the song.

Also, I have completed my song, gotten it reviewed by 3 people and given the OK, so I joined the event and submitted the song... Now what?

Am I going to get a message or something confirming that it's been entered and the moderators of this event have received it?

Am I going to get a message telling me that I am in the OK to post a teaser?

What is going to happen next?? I has a confusesion!

[Rainbowjack]

Are we allowed to post previews?

[K3WRO]

Are we allowed to post previews?

Sure, just don't post the full song though, and if it is, make it unlisted

[digital_brony]

YES. I'm in!

[itroitnyah]

Alright, I made a trailer for my work ^.^ Since I'm being given the OK to post trailers.

There's some weird EQ drops going on like they are fighting for room within a limiter. Overall the song WILL need some builds and drops if ur gonna do dubstep, not just 2 min of wubs (which i can't tell if it is or isn't yet), it's that motion that will make or break it. It seems a little chiched for dubstep so far (no offense) but then again its hard to say off such a short clip. Maybe some glitch, quick panning, or other things could spice it up more. I do like the pony sample.

Alrighty then ^.^ I'll be sure to remember that for my next song. I'm still pretty new to massive, so I still need time to get my way around it. And by "fighting for room within a limiter", do you suggest that I should remove the fruity limiter from the master channel? Other than that, thanks for the feedback. Always appreciated ^.^

NO

Absolutely not. A limiter helps prevent clipping, but if the limiter is reducing your track volume, you need to figure out what has too much volume and reduce it.
I'm going to paraphrase a quote from Reso's Producer Masterclass video 1

A good analogy I've heard is thinking of your frequency range as a chest of drawers. You can't keep shoving and shoving stuff in by boosting levels, if you take stuff out and rearrange stuff, you'll get it to all fit in nicely.

What he's talking about is subtractive EQing. If your kick has it's strongest peak at, say, 100hz, then try to make sure your wobbles don't cover up the kick at 100hz. Use an eq to keep your wubs (or any other regular bass) either above 100hz (mostly for moving bass) or below it (for sub-bass). Or, just have your bass EQ'd to have all the range BUT 100hz.

It's better to subtract some frequencies so you have "play room" later, than to boost them and have a loudness war later on

SHIT I hope I make it o.o
