That definitely did NOT happen, that is not the case. I think djp would be flattered you said that, but had to clarify he didn't invent the notion of arranging video game music. He did build a community around arranging VGM across all styles/genres/gaming systems though. Turned out pretty good!

So today is officially check-in day. It's 2 AM where I'm at, but I'll send my WIP for Crossing The Desert this evening. It's sounding pretty legit I dare say. For the finished version, I'll need live bass guitar and female, arabian-sounding vocals, but that can wait.

Amazing thread !! If you wanna hear some norwegian advant garde metal: those are some of my all time favorite songs... Vortex can sing !!!

Original My remix Feedback is *always* welcome. I just had to get this off my chest since it's been in basically development hell for almost a decade... Link below for comparison http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/66563

Yeah that's what it's all about! I think By Inheritance(the whole album) is pretty much a masterpiece. The riffs are insane! I sometimes get burned out on thrash, but that one will never get old to me. The vocals are very likely influenced by Dio to some extent. Once I get around to actually doing some remixes on here, I'll do one in a style similar to Artillery riff-wise. I think that would be pretty rad! I noticed some talk of melodic death metal in here too(and Nase mentioned checking out In Flames). Not sure what era of In Flames you checked out, but if you dig their older stuff then you should definitely check out some At The Gates! Slaughter of the Soul is a pretty well liked album among fans, and is pretty iconic when it comes to melodeath. I'd expect a lot of people to have heard this one anyway, but check it out if you haven't Oh also another one of my favorites is Carcass! I'm a huuuge fan of their grind/death metal stuff(on Necroticism and Symphonies of Sickness), but if you're into melodeath at all, you'll love Heartwork! It's a pretty kick ass album, and has a bunch of awesome riffage. It's usually mentioned that this was the album that pretty much invented the style. It's much different than Carcass' earlier stuff, but I still dig it. It's like intense thrash/death metal riffs with a good amount of melody thrown into it. That is some awesome stuff too! The vocals also remind me of Artillery, so the "screamy version of Dio" is starting to gain even more credibility haha. This one also kind of reminds me of Agent Steel's modern output. I think Omega Conspiracy was a pretty good comeback album, and that Nightmare track made me think of this for some reason. Their earlier stuff sounded like a crazy, faster version of Judas Priest though. Insanely high pitched vocals haha.

Everyone's all excited that Akira Toriyama is involved, but he was involved with the Cell Saga and onward, too, so...

By phasing issues, I'm referring to how phase cancellation happens more audibly when you are mixing in mono. If you take two identical sine waves and overlay them spot on (in phase), they will turn out twice as loud due to the "Principle of Superposition". Assuming an x axis at y = 0, as you shift one sine wave to the right, there is a progressively increasing phase shift, and what you get is a progressively increasing phase cancellation between the negative and positive values of each sine wave. Figure 1. Two sine waves overlapping, at a phase shift greater than 0. This phasing may be considered an issue when certain qualities of your sounds are made less audible because they partially cancel out, and the phasing is more audible when everything is in one channel (mono) than when everything is spread out in two channels (stereo). This phasing sounds like you're pushing down on your sound at potentially irregular moments in time. This may be hard to imagine, but let's say you drew out two identical sine waves on identically-sized pieces of paper (or you could actually do it in real life if that helps). Basically, what you're effectively doing in stereo in real life is taking those pieces of paper and aligning them approximately diagonally, in a sense, and they are approaching your ears at, let's say, 60 degree angles. So, they have less direct phase cancellation and the effects of that are less audible. This picture below is like a top view, where the blue lines are the horizontal edges of the pieces of paper, or the top of your sine waves. Figure 2. A typical speaker setup in a home listening area. You might find it easier if you try playing around with this Excel sheet: https://app.box.com/s/fxbkgaxkodku2nmsk52oj7i5lotyvncc (note that 10^-16 is close enough to 0)

Feel like I'm the only one whose favorite was the Alpha series.
