 Hail Odin! My 2019 Submission is under the world tree Yggdrasil! https://soundcloud.com/nick-zachariasen/jingle-bell-ragnarok ← EDIT: Original version EDIT FOR FIXED VERSION WITH THE SOUND EFFECTS I FORGOT THE FIRST TIME I came up with this in I think 2016 but way too late to do it that year. In 2017 and 2018 I forgot until it was too late but I at least had it mostly written this time last year; I'd just run out of time. I finally produced it and I think had I not been playing as much Fallout: New Vegas I could have put more polish on it— like footsteps in the snow, some of which I tried to record today but couldn't really get any clean samples thanks to not only cars but also planes and train horns. In the end, though, I think it turned out O.K. Well, O.K. except for my attempts at Nordic accents. With Frosty I went for making the classic cartoon Frosty Finnish and instead he ended up sounding like Bela Lugosi fused with Hedonism Bot and in both cases I probably sounded more Slavic than Scandinavian, but I don't care because I achieved! I did all the voices myself, processing only a bit in some obvious places. In case anybody wants to read the script, here you go. I set scenes for myself even though this was audio only. I figured it helped me get into the scene. EDIT: I just realized there was a sound effect or two I forgot to put in. I might fix it tomorrow night if I still have time. Is that 11:59 Eastern?

Edward Mass posted:My song(s) are currently in the mixing phase, which pushes this collection to double disc length! I've already started work on making a tracklist, which currently starts with Incoming Message From the North Pole and ends with the recently posted I Hate Christmas (Goodbye). Just a quick shout out to you caring about track order  I know that, with streaming and all, that stuff usually doesn't tend to matter, but it's important for posterity and for weirdos like me who really get used to a given order. Make it flow, make it flow, make it flow! I appreciate it! And soon enough, I'll be putting this finished project on my site, as well as the past two years.

Maybe someone remembers? Edit: I think pfeffernuss "might" have been posted by Popcorn. They said in the thread their contribution was a collaboration with a friend and acoustic guitar, which matches the song. The original link is dead though, so I can't confirm.

I have enjoyed many titles in the past, but I was especially proud of my (one and only) attempt at naming an album, with 2012's Merry Christmas and The Infinite Santa. I'm a huge Pumpkins nerd, and the remasters had recently been released. If I contribute nothing further to these albums, I'll still be happy. Edit: also, I whole heartedly vote for Manger Danger.

There's a seventh file that clearly isn't tagged right called gently caress - you.mp3 from 2013, which is a messy rendition of Gloria in excelsis Deo. I anyone still feels like doing some internet detective work. stillvisions posted:Oh poo poo, I forgot I submitted that one back in the day. Man, I really wish I had known how to mix that better than it turned out. Maybe one year pull out the source files and try to rework it as the little lofi hip hop boy or something.  I'm sure they have learned a lot since. I know for a fact I would never have participated ever if everything had been done consistently to a super high standard.

I had mentioned this to Edward Mass in a pm earlier, but when I was preparing the tracks, at least in 2012, I merely normalized every track to peak at either 0 or better yet -1db. Otherwise, I don't really mess with the quality of the tracks, because how much it varies is really part of the charm of these albums. But a generally consistent volume across the whole mess is appreciated, so I recommend that in the future, if you could try and normalize so that your peak hits there, you'll be good. Unless your track is a bunch of whispering with a loud cymbal crash at the end.

Maybe using mp3gain is sensible here to bring extreme outliers in line? It's 100% mathematically reversible and it doesn't recode the mp3. And it will play back at the set level on car stereos or whatever that don't do their own automatic volume leveling. I agree with variety being the charm and not touching the files in other ways. Though I did convert the 96KHz/24 bit wav file in the archive to a high quality mp3 for my personal use.

Flipperwaldt posted:Yeah, don't normalize to 0dB if the end result is going to be an mp3 (or similarly compressed file). This can lead to clipping on decoding/playback. -1dB should be fine. Yes, all of this is good. Edward Mass, listen to Flipperwaldt
