Hello Newgrounds! Listen with caution because this is LOUD.


This piece is my submission to Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch 2024! I'm super ecxited to show it off and I've been hard at work with it. Basically, my goal was to use everything I know about digital audio to make the loudest track I think is humanly possible. I took inspiration from Mazare's "Berserker" and made heavy use of an unfinished plugin called "loudness War Winner". I tried to be tasteful with it however; obviously a -0 db sawtooth wave isn't gonna win me any competitions. There was a lot of effort put into not only making it sound loud AF but awesome AF too.


The lyrical content of the song is pertaining to genocide, particularly religious based genocide. They touch on the fact that affected peoples are framed as sinners, liars, evil, etc, and often are thought of as deserving of the slaughter they receive. Of course, the line "But you're not worth saving" is obviously referring to the damning perception that enables a genocide to happen at all; it refers to the perception that a certain group is inferior and ought to be removed.


I wonder what current event this song might be about. Gee, I just can't put my finger on it.


Lyrics:

~~~~~~~~~~

The sinner tries to justify his lie

What he wouldn't do for his kind


But you're not worth saving

So get the fuck out


The mother tries to comfort her dying kin

Their sacrifice will kill the evil within


I said you're not worth saving

So die the fuck out

But you're not worth saving

So get the fuck out


So get the fuck out

~~~~~~~~~~


This song is in F minor at one-hundred-eighty-something bpm.


Thanks for listening!

Looking at that waveform, I'm scared to see what happens at a minute in!

This is freaking WILD.

I think there's a bit of over compression and sibiliance around the mix. The transients on the drums and the note bodies are getting a bit lost, and the sub is not taking up the space it should be. Crispness is good, but in general you don't want your bass to be crispy, your vocals to be ess-y, and your hihats to be too loud. I recommend finding a reference and side-by-side comparison as you go along. Make sure the volume is comparable to your mix so you can compare.

Otherwise, great switchups and an interesting theme! I appreciate the vocoder!

7.6/10

bro chill!!! you're making the track too hot!!

Awesome submission, only thing is I think the vocoding on the vocals makes it incomprehensible

MYYA responds:

Yeah I was pretty unsatisfied with how it came out. I had very little time and no training for vocals like that :/

I can see now why you warned about the loudness. The bass in the drops sounds NASTY in a good way, and that is how I’d describe most of the song. Good luck in the ADM!
