I don’t think it’s outlandish to say “Message me when this song is done, I want to sponsor it”

 

It’s not, but NL never asked to be messaged in this thread, that’s why I don’t understand why a PM was expected. It’s ok if C3 authors don’t want to sponsor songs but if they do, checking the show floor at least once per month is a must because we have a 30 days period of grace anyway.

 

Anyway, if anybody wants to pick this up I will be more than glad to take a step back, I have a mile of songs to sanity check anyway.

Well up to you Shadow, mind if I take it over? If I do it’s up to you if you wanna get any fixes in PT form or if I should do them on my own and just note down general stuff to learn from

A VIEW TO A KILL SANITY CHECK

 

It’s generally good but drums need a very good look…

 

DRUMS

– You chose to omit the foot activated hi hat at the beginning, which I agree with, but I think you should then be consistent. The 2 hits at M9 and M10 come from the right audio channel so it can be construed that they’re genuine right hand hits on the hi hat, M11 does not, so I would omit that.

– I would follow the same logic for all verse, like at M13-> and similar. I don’t hear many of the Ys you authored and to make things easier I would do away with those that don’t come from the right channel. In example in the first 2 measures of the verse the lone right channel hit is at M14.3.

– In the verses you are missing all open hi hats, like the one at M16.4.00, 19.4, 20. 4, etc. (the first one you recognize is at M34.4.00)

– Please go over your song and check all drum patterns because I’ve found more than a few instances where you copypasted the wrong pattern, one examples is at M35.3 where you should have kick, snare, open hi hat and you have hi hat, kick and snare

– You are missing a few kicks, I’d suggest you do a pass for those alone, an example is at M39.4.50, and then 42.2.50, 43.2.50, etc.

– M40, can’t hear a difference between those 3 hits, but if there’s a difference I hear it between the first and the other 2.

– M48.4.50, missing open hi hat

– M52.4, missing snare

I’m gonna stop here because I know this is a very very trick drum track but you need to do a better pass before I can take another look, there’s just too much that can easily be solved by doing a pass for cymbals and one for snare/kick/toms.

 

BASS

– In the pattern, the note at Mx.4.25 is actually at Mx.4.50

– In the pattern, most/some notes at Mx.1.00 have a “sister” note at Mx.1.50, checkout M14 and 15 as an example, so you can understand where they should be added.

 

GUITAR

– M69.1, the B is different than the other Bs, possibly a Y, possibly a chord

 

KEYS

– M61, I hear a different pattern, more like this one:

VOCALS

– M75, “fall” needs a dip

– M73, can’t hear “the first”, only “first”, one long note. Same spot, “tal” is a G to G#

– M78, “to drench”, to -> D

– M83 and similar, “chance” is F# to Eb

– Transpose the whole track one octave down. Also, give this a +30 tuning cent in Magma, once you do that I’ll give it a test in game because Le Bon tends to sing between pitches and I want to be sure the tuning is good

– I would remove the double tracked harmonies honestly, they are barely there and I think it works fine as vocals only.

Maybe SotS forgot, or didn’t see the post? It was a few pages ago, that is entirely possible.

 

I’m supposed to PM the sponsor if a song is done? Oops.

You’re not. But if you let NL take over I’m grateful. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>

Since you haven’t replied to my PM yet I just thought I would put it here too just in case: Managed to send that PM to myself somehow so never mind that part ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />

 

Playing With The Boys is ready for compile and upload, however the files only include the lead dryvox so if possible I would like it if you could send over the other dryvox files as well please. Once I get it I will be able to compile it and put the file in the scheduler ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

An updated RPP of a View to a Kill with fixes. Also, a CON file to test stuff in-game.

 

RPP: http://www.mediafire.com/download/vy71w7tm6by998r/viewtoakill_fix.RPP

 

CON: http://www.mediafire.com/download/urxlz4o0ez65p9y/sots_ViewToAKill_rb3con(2)

[Nightmare Lyra]

Here is the most likely final version of Playing With The Boys if you wanna test it out any yourself before release:

RPP: http://keepitfishy.com/d.php?55a413374cd58

CON: http://keepitfishy.com/d.php?55a413374db54

 

EDIT: I noticed after uploading it some crashes were hats on H/M/E and some tom markers were not working properly, so I fixed that in the CON now
