Rainbow & Rooted: Four's Fall Down

[Nine Volt]

So this is it!



I uploaded it last night. Tell me what you think of it.
Thanks!

(EDIT) How do I make it so you can play a video/song right here? You know, instead of clicking on a link?

[Lying Pink]

Wow, that track's really sweet. I'm very excited to hear what makes it onto the album

[Nine Volt]

As for Orion's song... eh.

Not a fan of the near-constant pretty low end, it makes it much less intense when the 'drop' happens. Plus there's dissonance all over the place and it's not used well. It's also way longer than it needs to be, without enough variation to keep it interesting. That snare is kinda weak too. But it's mostly the dissonance and near-constant pseudo-sub bass that make me dislike it.

[Lying Pink]

I'm not sure I'm picking up on the dissonance. It seems to be built around an Eb major/B major chord progression, meaning it's shifting around using some non-diatonic harmonies, but I kinda like that.
In fact, come to think of it, all of the things you say you disliked about it were the reasons I enjoyed it Welp, one man's meat is another man's poison, as they say.

[Nine Volt]

Go to 2:35.

Tell me that's not dissonant/out of key and you're lying

[Lying Pink]

You mean the pitch-bend from the Db to the Eb? Don't think it's off-key, it's just a slow pitch-bend.

and you're lying

What you did there. I see it.

[Nine Volt]

:3

Not the pitch bend, the chords themselves up to the droppy thingy

[Lying Pink]

Ah, gotcha.
...I genuinely still can't hear it, sorry! Maybe we've just got different conceptions of what does and doesn't sound in-key. Or maybe my ears are tired. *shrug*
Either way oh god I'm procrastinating post-derailing (sorry) here when I should be finishin' mah choon. Lying away!
(and good luck, all)

[Raddons]

Dissonance =/= bad

[Nine Volt]

Dissonance =/= bad

I never said that. However, I don't like how he used dissonance in his track.

[FLAOFEI]

I got my track in before the feedback deadline... I havent gotten any yet. Is it on request?
Cause I would like some feedback, although I'm not sure I could change anything due to real life busyness.

[Nine Volt]

I got mine in fairly early and I haven't gotten any either, so I wouldn't worry about it.

[OrionMelody]

Hm.. I guess I can understand the whole sub-bass thing. I seem to have trouble with that sometimes. But what are you talking about dissonance? Are you talking about the fact that I use extra notes in my chords? (E, F#,G#,B) Is that what you're talking about? Thank you for feedback.

[00ccff]

Just got my track in.

[Stakeout Punch]

Still smoothing this one out, as I scrapped my first track for R&R: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/vxi ... /ECGRR.ogg

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Have fun with that deadline Y'all.

;3

No, the chords just sound... 'wrong'... to me. I can't really describe it; they sound like they're going out of key.

[Genkar]

If anyone can give me some feedback/help on the mixing for my track, I'll love you forever.

[ExoBassTix]

I must honestly confess that I have no knowledge regarding proper mixing at all. :I

[Lying Pink]

If I finish my track earlier than expected and you still need some help closer to the deadline Genkar, I'd be willing to give it a listen. I'm not amazing (and neither are my speakers :/ ) but I'd be able to give you some advice, maybe

I've been tripping over myself constantly trying to get this to sound good because I am a clumsy audio wizard. Could anyone please take a listen to this and tell me if it sounds good or if my ears are lying to me again? Can't trust em as far as you can throw em, those ears. I think that's what the phrase is.

Any feedback you can give me would be helpful.

For anyone interested, I'm trained in MS mastering techniques. If you've finished your track and want it to sound a bit more punchy, feel free to toss it to me and I'll spend some time mastering for you.

I'm interested, but obviously I need a track finished first...
