Sooooo... This is what I have for the back cover: The CD label will looks similar, except rotational and without the tracklist EDIT: Subject to change of course

For all my mixes I used a refurbished gateway with 2.5ghz processor and 4GB (later upgraded to 8GB) RAM. All the power of having multiple tracks is from the ASIO drivers for the Saffire Pro (upgraded from an Alesis io26 which is poo) If you're gonna record live audio don't make the same mistake I did and have a computer fan louder than a lawn mower. I'll be upgrading some day

PLEASE REPORT ANY INCORRECT INFORMATION AND/OR INACCURACIES HERE IN THIS THREAD. THANK YOU! --- FAQ --- Q: What is the OCR Mascot Bio Project all about? A: The OCR Mascot Bio Project has enabled visitors of the site to click the mascots (game characters) in the upper right corner of the page and read about who they are, what games they appear in, and links to remixes of those games. Also, the bio pages include links to other pages for more information on the characters. Go here for more info. Q: How can I help? A: We would appreciate being informed of any typos, dead links or other problems in the bios (unless already listed under the known issues at the bottom of this post). If new games are added to OC ReMix and any of the mascot characters appear in them, please inform us so that we can update the appearance lists. Every so often, the site staff adds new mascots to the site - when this happens, you are welcome to help us write bios for them. Please read this before you do: http://ocremix.org/info/Mascot_Project_FAQ_and_Guidelines For reference, the following mascots bios are claimed and in progress: Duck Hunt Rosalina The following mascot bios are up for grabs: Abe Boo Chell Dart Feld Joe Musashi The King of All Cosmos Midna Professor Layton Ristar Roll Saren Arterius Shulk Spyro the Dragon Tanooki Mario

This was introduced to me by Armoured Priest on another forum, and I thought I'd hop over here and share it with anyone interested. Basically, the story is that the guy behind all of this found a bunch of Alvin and the Chipmunks records, along with a record player that can spin at 16 RPM. The end result is this... https://soundcloud.com/alvin-thechipmunkson16sp/tracks There's more to his story, but I'll let you read about it here. My personal favorites so far are "Walk Like An Egyptian" (I could hear this playing in the background as the gates of hell open ), and "Keep Me Hangin' On" (think NIN folks). It's weird to hear, but it's pretty cool as well. I don't know how many more are coming, but there are plenty to listen to now, so hop over and give it listen

All these things are correct. I want to end with PokerusVGM's cover, because it's a nice calming guitar song. And there's something about "going to a new land" that kinda ties into him passing... The back cover looks awesome, Odai. Nicely done.

The title of my song is On The Wind

I have a rule for people getting started, and that is don't get caught up in what's the best and what sounds like it has the most value (features, sound quality, etc.) When you're getting started, you need a baseline. The baseline is the set of instruments (or even just one library, like Albion, Symphobia, EWQLSO) that you learn how to use and you're "set". Meaning you can write orchestral music using them, and that's your fallback level of quality for mockups and such. Your baseline can be feature-rich and detailed (the Hollywood series) or incredibly dumbed down and easy to use (like ProjectSAM Orchestral Essentials). Once you have your baseline, and you are consciously feeling like "I'm trying to write music with a certain sound but my current set doesn't let me do it, but that other set will", only then should you start buying more libraries. For instance, let's say my baseline strings are CS2. CS2 is amazing, but it has no divisi. If I'm working on something and I need to write divisi, that's when I'm able to justify buying a library with divisi (like LASS or NISS). If I like to centerpiece a violin in my orchestra, I invest in a solo violin like Embertone Friedlander. NEVER BUY SAMPLE LIBRARIES OR INVEST INTO FEATURES BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEM OR "MIGHT USE THEM LATER ON". This is a slippery slope that never financially pans out in your favor (it may creatively, but I only give practical advice). You end up buying a metric ton of shit you never use in your music, and keep buying more when you get excited about new releases from your favorite companies to build up your "library". Don't "build up your library". I took that stance with purchasing stuff and I have bought so many thousands of dollars worth of tech I don't use and rarely have ever used outside of a single project. It's one of my biggest life regrets, actually, to be tangentially dramatic. It burns mostly because most developers employ a no resale policy, so I can't sell something when I'm done with it. It digitally follows me and stays on my Kontakt drive forever, and ever, and ever, and ever... Start with your baseline, and buy something when your baseline doesn't cut it. As you absorb more stuff into your baseline, you use it more often because it's the sounds you really wanted, and it becomes your new baseline. That's why amazing computer orchestrators layer different libraries. They didn't learn "layering tricks" from Daniel James on YouTube then go out and buy 3 different string libraries to stay in the game; they went through the grueling process of deciding their current libraries weren't giving them the sound they wanted, then visiting the market to find who developed a library for it.

DEEP JUNGLE PLZ OMG YES

Have you talked with DJP about the website? He has really been a huge help in the past with project sites for me As for my song it is done, and timaeus has his grubby paws on it.. I spent a lot of time doing EQ but I'm still not all too sure that it's clean enough, but given the circumstances and the fact that music sounds different on every headset, I'm alright with it going out -- good bass presence and very warm. Which is weird, because when I exported it, I was sure the highs were too strong and the bass was weak. That's music for ya. It sounds great on the AKG Q701s at least I'm sorry the song took so long

I didn't mean the chord changes themselves (the notes were there), but just chord changes that can be more clearly heard / more upfront / more easily felt.
