Am I insane, or a genius?

My “I’m In” Announcement

Hey guys, I want to share my newest musical聽project to warm-up my skills for Ludum Dare with you guys! This song is unlike anything ever created. This song is a mixture of something good, and something else good, and I love it! You will never hear anything like this anywhere else… Am I Insane?

Hidden Voices

Hidden Voices is a innovative song unlike any other ever created. It features a heavily synthesized / Vo-Coded Audio sample of my Voice. This song is incredibly complex and unique. (I had a extremely long description written here… But my web crashed and I lost it :/ )

Haha you’re not insane, just proud and not very modest. The track is OK, though I’m sure you could do better.

I understand where your coming from, from the outside, all the verses and such sound quite simple, and the a good majority of the verses are simple, but this song in general, even though it may not seem like it, it quite complex if you look at it closely. In the chorus, over 15 tracks of patterns, drum loops, automation, and filtering are being played at the same time. The verses are quite simple, mainly because the style I was going for, but the second chorus is different from the first, and the difference was complex. I first had to use a time modulating and effect plug-in slice the first verse, then export this, and slice it back into the song, giving it the choppy effect it has. I did a lot of filtering, ALL the sounds I used, I made from scratch. I used 13 different masters to control effects, reverb, and filtering. I Vo-Coded my voice and chopped the samples into a pattern, which is hard to make sound good.

Lol dude, I’m sorry that you did all of this work and still when I listen to it I barely hear it .. it does sound like you put a bunch of effort but I can’t honestly say I hear any of that. I guess it just didn’t pay off.

I think what happened was – it took you lots of work to create the sounds but your dynamics sucked.

And honestly the drum machines beats and time shifts weren’t that impressive. When it doesn’t flow, it doesn’t flow, and sound can’t fix that!

And I’m very sorry but I don’t hear 15 patterns (not to mention that’s not enough for making a riff last 4 minutes). If you mean the vocal pattern in terms of stopping and resuming it (aka glitching it) – it’s not impressive at all. I’m gonna be honest hope you won’t take it personally, once again you are the one who asked me to elaborate – it’s not just boring to my ears it’s boring to my brain. The patterns are plain so you can’t help quality with quantity. That just makes it longer. Also, if you made so much effort to make your vocals make ’em more loud! the freaking annoying repititve synths are all over my face!! Nuffff

The stuff you linked suffered from the same problem as well as your descriptions of them staying wierdly self-complementive. I’ll be honest with you it’s below average. I probably won’t have time to keep chatting with u cause I gotta prepare for the compo but if you want a piece of advice: One cannot judge himself properly, especially when one likes himself (which is almost always the case). Try to ask other people to try to listen to this and check if they finish it without you instructing them to do so. If they won’t, it seems like I’m right. If they do, try random people on the net and ask them if they did. If they did, well; At least you know I’m the only one who thinks that, and you may feel free to embrace or reject my criticism, otherwise you probably NEED to pay attention to what’s being said. Well, that’s my advice Good Luck =]
