The Auracle

Well, I expected some strong constructive criticism, as the reputation OCR has precedes itself and its members. The intro was what it was. I like using that effect to give it a bit of a dramatic feel but I suppose I was a bit naive to think that everyone would "get" it. Tagging in tracks is a bit hit-and-miss, as well. Some people like it, others do not. I like to think that I'm of the same mindset as producers like Thes One (People Under The Stairs): make beats with a platform that you can later rap on. That's what I like to do so for the time being, I stick with that "traditional" song structure. I suppose I take risks in the actual sampling process, doing different things to warp and stretch the original work itself to give it a new feel and sound. Pretty much all of the arrangement was done live on an MPC programme (eMPC by AKAI). I play the drums in real life, so I like to programme my own drums into hip-hop tracks as well. All mixing was done in Adobe Audition and I had thought I got most of the mud out from the sub-bass sound font I used but I suppose there's still a bit more left to do. I honestly thought people would like this track, hence why I thought this would be a good jump-off point to start making a name for myself here. Timeaus' criticism is welcome but I'm not sure I understand his point of "doing what you like to do" but then "doing something different" just to appease others. Sometimes, simplest is best and that's what I aimed for when making Day Of Reckoning. Ukele dubstep sounds very interesting! Very interesting, indeed... but I'm not sure a hip-hop track which is meant to be straight-forward needs that kind of innovation. Still... all points taken on board and I think I certainly know where to go from here if I'm to make waves here at OCR. Thank you all for listening to it. One is very grateful for that and the feedback given. - The Auracle.

I enjoyed that. Great production; great flow and cadence on the mic from everyone involved; really liked the dark humour inspired plotline in the lyrics. Gets two thumbs up from me.

Greetings. I am The Auracle. Some of you may know of me and my work already but I like to operate on the presumption that most do not know anything about me and my work at all. I'm quite keen on getting more involved in the OCRemix community here and to do so, I thought to start getting more involved here in the forums and by participating in more OCRemix projects to the best of my artistic abilities. To start with, I invite you all to listen to my first ever Sonic BGM flip, Day Of Reckoning. This is a re-imagining of The Doomsday Zone Act Two BGM and it's one of my favourites. I certainly hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. I look forward to interacting with you all. To the journey ahead! I remain, The Auracle
