Please check out my new track 'Frequency Response Test (unfinished)' and post your comments here!!!
I was away during the october competition, I came back.....and discovered it was too late. So now I'm just workin on this track for the hell of it. I don't have any monitors on this computer and I'm using shitty ass headphones.....so any tips on the levels and freq's would be super great!!

yeah.....i was thinking about adding sub bass.......but instead of adding a sub bass i was thinking of just boosting the lower freqs of the existing bass, but if they don't go low enough I may have to just add some low ass sine waves to it. The break after the heavy amens was kinda necessary....bringing in the synth and what not.....the drums will get crazier though.....don't worry

Well, I have some tips: your drums sound very thin. Give them more hi-end and punch.
Main idear of the track is quite good, finish it!
2.5/5 for the track
1.5/5 for the levels

so just up the hi end frequencies and compress the drums?
i'm supposing the scores are so low because it's unfinished? you seemed to like it.....but those scores are pretty low

Well, yeah, give them more hi-end and maybe compress them a bit, but also give them more low-mid (gives more punch) or layer a punchyer snare under your current snare.
Give the kick a boost around 80hz.
The idear of the track is quite good, but not mindblowing. A 2.5 is like a 6.5/10 you know, which isn't too bad

2.5 is like a 5/10......just seems kinda disappointing.....seeing as how i'm not using any sort of groundbreaking software

Very wicked. Only thing that kills me is the tempo. Maybe i'm just blazed but it seems a little 2 fast. If you could bring down the tempo 2 maybe 172, 173 BPM I think DJs would be pumped up 2 spin this little crazy number. Very fat tune! I'm wantin 2 hear this finished damnit! Compress those drums!!!!!!

... And you're passing judgment on how I run my thing!!!!

i'm a speed freak man.......my fastest song is clocked in at over 300 BPM's......it's just ridiculous.....this song is 180......i don't think it would sound very good much slower......amens weren't meant to be anything but abused......completion of this song may be delayed (there's a lot of fucked up shit going on in my life right now that takes away from my production time)

Nope, scores on /5 are different from /10
1/5=-5.5/10
2/5=6/10-7/10
3/5=7.5/10-8/10
4/5=9/10
5/5=10/10
It's not rocket science, but it's more something like that...

i honestly don't understand where this logic comes from, but it goes completely against universal mathematics.......let's say we have 0-10......0 being absolutely nothing and 10 being perfection. If we're dividing the individual numbers only into halves then we get 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, and 10. If we reduce the scale to 0-5, in order to keep the scale accurate and translatable we need to incorporate quarters instead of halves. We then have a scale as follows; 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, and 5......the scale would line up as follows
0.00 = 0.0
0.25 = 0.5
0.50 = 1.0
0.75 = 1.5
1.00 = 2.0
1.25 = 2.5
1.50 = 3.0
1.75 = 3.5
2.00 = 4.0
2.25 = 4.5
2.50 = 5.0***
2.75 = 5.5
3.00 = 6.0
3.25 = 6.5
3.50 = 7.0
3.75 = 7.5
4.00 = 8.0
4.25 = 8.5
4.50 = 9.0
4.75 = 9.5
5.00 = 10.0
therefore
1/5 = 2/10
2/5 = 4/10
3/5 = 6/10
4/5 = 8/10
5/5 = 10/10
so your 2.5/5 actually translates into a 5/10.....on a scale of 1 to 5...2.5 is right in the middle, as is 5 on a 10 scale.....just out of curiosity.....I'd like to know how you came up with your scores for the 5 scale?
<edit> let's think of fractions, four fifths (4/5) is not equivalent to nine tenths (9/10), whereas eight tenths can be simplified into four fifths. It's rather easy really once you think about it. since we're not actually using fractions of a whole but fractions of a scale......it would actually translate differently into fractions. A 5/10 score would actually be one half (1/2), or 50% of the whole.....ten being the whole. if we have a score 2.5/10 it would actually be twenty five one hundredths (25/100) or 25% of the whole. a score of 0.5/10 would be five one hundredths (5/100) or 5% of the whole. a score of 0.25/5 would be five one hundredredths (5/100) or 5% of the whole. please keep this in mind for future scores so you don't confuse yourself or other people

Well, I know what you mean. It comes from the fact that most tracks are good enough to get at least a 5/10 score. That would mean that you'd hardly have any tracks with a score between 2.5/5. That would also mean that you have only a difference from 2.5/5 to 5/5 for a rating from just good enough to exelent... which isn't very acurate. So that's why a score on 5 is done differently, to allow raters to give more acurate scores for at least 90% of the tracks. Only if the score is well below 5/10 the score will be inacurate, namely 1/5 (since lower isn't possible in this rating system).
I hope this is clear to you now?

yeah......but what i'm saying is that if you're basing the judgement on a 5 scale......you need to incorporate the quarter numbers.....it gives you just as many divisions as using the ten scale split only into halves........it's like your 5 scale is divided exponentially......the higher the scale gets the smaller the divisions correlating to the 10 scale get......it's not rocket science.......but it's definitely unneccesary......i guess you can rate it any way you want......you could use a fricken 42 scale if you want........i just don't understand how your's works......at all
