Rainbow & Rooted: Four's Fall Down

[Belgerum]

Just a question. If I ~hypothetically~ had a rapper that might be rapping on a track I submit, are they allowed to swear or cuss on the track?

I would assume so, they had some explicit lyrics on Balloon Party, so I don't see why it'd be different for Rainbow and Rooted.

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

Thanks! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/idq ... ixing3.mp3
Any feedback you can give me would be helpful.

I enjoyed it, sounds like drumstep to me but i may be just wrong

Oh and visit my cloud on Cloudsdale everypony

Seems like im doing Trance - Dubstep after all

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.

How long do you take for mastering a track, and how far in advance you do have to give the track to in order to have it guaranteed back by deadline?

//curious and way behind on schedule

It usually takes me an hour or so to master a track, depending on how complex the track is. I only check my PM's on MLR once or twice a day though, so you'd have to send it to me at least 24hrs before it needs to be submitted.

How long would a five minute song with in excess of 70 tracks take?

[Camsy]

In layman's terms, MS mastering is taking the stereo L/R signal and cutting it up into pieces, making it sound better and then squishing back together and then adding some extra stuff to that final product. The amount of tracks don't really matter because I'm just working with a stereo channel. A 5min song would probably take me about an hour and a half max.

I can do mixing too, but as there's only a few days left for R&R submissions and my time is limited, I can't really help with that. If I was mixing for 70 channels it could take me a couple of weeks up to a few months depending on how anal I was being.

My final teaser.

[Lt_Andrei]

Just because I am a tad confused, when is the deadline? Looked in many places, but didn't find a conclusive answer anywhere.

Clicky

4 days 16 hours 32 minutes remain

[ExoBassTix]

That moment when my collab partner for R&R decides to quit prematurely because lack of inspiration and leaves me with a project file that is beyond messed up because of his 'mixing skills'.

FRUSTATION LEVELS UP HIGH. NO PROBLEM AT ALL, I'M NOT MAD. YOU CAN SEE THAT. RIGHT?!

[Lying Pink]

Is it salvageable? Do either of you have access to the pre-'mixed' stems?

[v.lossity]

Ocular, that is sounding pretty sick, I like it.

[AJ_]

Finally done
Here's the Preview

Aww Yeah

We don't have the pre-mixed stems, I'm not even gonna bother talking with Dyspro about it.
Right now I only have this messed-up version and an older project file that sounds good, but doesn't have much considering a lot of work was done after it (I used it for the teaser though).

I think the only option is to fix the mixing. A friend of mine promised to try his hand at restoring this work, hopefully I don't need to ask elsewhere.

[Proctra]

Just threw down my entry, some hard hitting stuff.

[CDPP]

My final teaser.

Damn, really looking forward to this one. Niceeeeeeeeee

[Nob0d]

Yo This Is DJ Nob0d thought Id just stop by and say im probably going to Try and enter something SpeedTechmetal and if time goes when Ill lay down a few lines and make it rap.

[Nine Volt]

Well, you've got 3 days, so good luck.

[Nob0d]

yea right? I got the Instrumental pretty much down...

and I mean It aint too bad the way it is. But Ill be a lot more satisfied with some Vocals.

[Nine Volt]

So anyone know when we're getting that feedback we were told about?

[itroitnyah]

I don't remember anything about feedback, but I don't think that the judges are going to critique all our songs. There must be over 150 songs submitted, why would they want to review all the songs?

[VeePoint2]

Well, my two tracks are done, so Imma drop a teaser for my first song though the teaser is not updated to the current submission.

Teach me your secrets - Flutterwhat

This is my entry for Rainbow and Rooted. It’s pretty much about twilight sparkle wanting Celestia to teach her everything she knows, and the power that she wields. I worked on this for over three months, and i was careful to use the background music in the samples to my advantage to add to the song instead of clash with it. I think I’ve done a good job!
