Spyduck  As always I greatly appreciate hearing from you. This time I tried a regular song construction with a bit of a verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus kind of thing. The main thing I focused on was clearing monotony while still keeping individual themes familiar. I noticed in most of my works last year they weren't quite as organized as I ended up just trying to go from idea to idea and mashed things together. This time I tried to stick with my usual way of composition in themes while making it more individually expressive rather than a slew of different things.  (Feb 10, 2013, 04:33 EST)

s.a. zober  Always good to hear that someone is exploring new territory and making new connections between where they are and where they want to go. Keep going. I´m looking forwar to more!!! Thank you, Shoham  (Feb 10, 2013, 18:40 EST)

This is what the f*ck I'm talking about!!!
How did you make the main melody sound kind of warped at times? Is there an effect for that? Like from 00:48-00:53, for instance.

Thanks, this sounds awesome,

Spyduck  In audacity I used the wahwah effect. The phaser can do something similar. Also to make things a little less ear piercing I adjusted the envelope of the whole song down to -0.5/0.5. Using "Normalize" in the effects tab has a similar effect.  (May 31, 2012, 11:59 EDT)

I dig it. At about :20 and :49 it carries on a bit so maybe take a few measures out. Something else you should do is use the envelope tool to adjust the overall volume down to prevent clipping. Something you want to kind of avoid when looking at the output level meter is it going all the way to the right making those tiny rectangles to the right light up red. Also, decided to mix this up and add some drums here http://www.feed-forward.net/w.4300_Chippy_Rough_and_Raw_for_Spyduck_Now_Wit
