Went 1 for 2 on the hard rock listing
Hey I'll take it!!!
LISTING:
A bunch of HEAVY ROCK SONGS (in a wide range of styles) with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Music Library with a ton of credits in Feature Films, TV Shows, and TV Commercials.
This Company is searching for Songs for placements in Film, TV, and Commercials in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from them:
WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Ace Of Spades" by Motörhead
"Killing in the Name" by Rage Against The Machine
"Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC
NOTE: You can submit recently recorded Songs in the general style of the references that capture the authentic sound needed, OR if you have high-quality vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), they would love to hear those as well!
Please submit original Heavy Rock Songs (no covers) that capture the raucous energy and style heard in the references! Your submissions should have memorable choruses, hard-hitting rhythms, great musicianship, and well-crafted lyrics. Rock instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best.
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The other one was an AC/DCish/GNRish track, and I really didn't think it was going to make it honestly.....I ran out of time, and there were just too many issues with it, but we WILL fix and resubmit the next time! Still, the feedback was still a LITTLE bit wierd..(Any thoughts on that are welcome of course!)... Not gonna worry about it too much....NEXT!!!

When I heard the first notes of Come Get Some, I immediately thought of RATM, then went to read the feedback, and here it was I agree it would take some ear candy similar to the ones you find in Killing In The Name Of.
Congrats on the forwards Brad!

Re: Went 1 for 2 on the hard rock listing
Thanks Edmond....I am not trying to play the blame game here, but these screeners have made me extremely paranoid about anything being "too busy"
I had the Whammy guitar stuff on there, had some guitar riffs just using the pickup selector on a Les Paul effect, with some wierd delays, mod effects, etc, and a bunch of other cool overdubs, PLENTY of "Ear Candy" because I LOVE that part of creating and production. I guess that I will start leaving some of this stuff in?? (UNTIL I GET A RETURN FOR THAT!!!! LOLOL!!!)
Have a great weekend brother and thanks for the congrats

'Come Get Some' was always going to make it through. Great job, and good luck for second base - a deal from it.

2 great songs.
I like the chorus of the second one, maybe the screener was waiting for a backing vocal in the chorus?

Re: Went 1 for 2 on the hard rock listing
Appreciate it!!
Yeah, I think that is what he or she is referring to?? I wish they could be a little more clear sometimes, but it is what it is.... If another listing like this pops up, I will definitely redo the chorus and the ending and resubmit...The thing is....NONE of the ref tracks have big hooky choruses with big stacked vocals!! Granted..."Shoot to Thrill" has a far more hookier chorus than ours, but it just a single lead vocal... I also don't understand how the vocals are too "pitchy." Is B Johnson spot on with every single note?? Is Lemmy? I mean, Melodyne on every single note sounds like crap, and that alone gets stuff returned....I know, because I have had stuff that I sang on returned over too much vocal tuning! lol
I only use Melodyne for timing adjustments, and maybe an occasional word here and there, but not much, almost zero....After all, it's Rock and Roll, not K-Pop!
