the only files i have are mp2. can anyone convert them for me? pretty please

Neongod 04.01.2006 11:54 PM

I'd contribute, but I'd have a hard time making them sound fresh. If you're looking for a solid cover at X bpm's however, I'm your guy.

Soundtrax 04.02.2006 05:12 AM

i will make them sound fresh if you send me master tracks :) f its possible i would like to add some post-production to your songs guys, just in terms of volume normalizing, equalizing, and maybe adding a tiny tiny reverb to some instruments... thats what i would need master tracks for (192kbps versions at least), every instrument separately in a special track... if you still have it like that send it please... i would then send you the post-produced version of the song, for you to confirm and agree that song is better post-produced... its not that i would like to interfere with your artistic freedom, but i would really like to have the compilation sound as professionaly as possible, or at least have every song in approximately at the same volume level.

Let me know if you use my version soundtrax. I trust that any post-production that you do to it will make it sound a lot better. I need to learn to mix better. It's not easy you know.

Soundtrax,
Are you into audio engineering or something?

we're in the same town. if you want to collaborate or something, i'd be up for it.

val-holla-ing 04.03.2006 12:30 PM

an electronic version of "mildred pierce" sounds like a neat idea.

well, not professionaly, its not my job or anything, but i've been making music and recording for almost 15 years and i've always been into how to make music sound profesionaly on a computer, so i know how to make the shit sound cool which apparently most of you guys don't know. When i listened to axis of evol/thrill your idols i thought "fuck, i wish i had master tracks to produce it" ;)

PS: i wrote a private message to habib to make this thread sticky, i recieved no answer, dont know why...

I'm gonna be working with a 4-track deck.... so is it possible to just send you a mixed mp3 and you could still change volumes? Or would I need to send the tape?

i guess you can rip each of four tracks into separate mp3 192kbps, that would be the best, can you do that? it would be perfect... well of course you can send just a mixed mp3, but ONLY IN CASE THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION!, PLEASE!!! I think if you are working with a 4-track deck, there should be an option to rip each of four tracks into separate mp3. dont be lazy, it would require some more work of you, but you would do a lot to improve the sound quality of your song and album as a whole... and i am also thinking that i should put the well produced songs in the beginning of an album, and the bad quality songs at the end of the album, so if you want your song to appear at the beginning, you will do everything to make your recording sound better i guess ;) if there is enough material i might not even include a bad quality songs on the compilation if they sound like a telephone recording... so you better try do your best to get a good sound quality

I can do 4 seperate tracks no prob.
But i don't really like the idea of putting cleaner songs before the less clean/muddy ones. I'm sure unless they are like answering machine quality recordings you can fit them together somehow. Give it a kind of mix-tape grabbag feel. But of course i'm not the one making it... just that approach seems kinda bunky. Who cares about mid-range if the song's good?

Soundtrax 04.03.2006 03:26 PM

look...let me have 4 separat tracks... i will send you my post-produced version, and you are going to decide whether its ok or not, deal? ;) if you have heard axis of evol, you know how different songs can be, and they just dont fit together like that... i want to make the compliation really cool :)

hey alex 04.03.2006 08:22 PM

I won't doubt you, I realize I was beign dickish. I was in a fightin' ,ood earlier, my bad.

I plan on doing one as well. Its just going to be programming and words and maybe some guitar improv or whatever Every-E wants to add. It'll be thug life.
