  1. What a ridiculous ripoff of Mega Man.
  2. Thanks bud. On a side note, I'm wondering if there's any other sites where you can get your game remixes to listeners. I've come to the conclusion that the OCR experience has gotten a tad depressing. This isn't really a forum for listeners, not a lot of comments going on. So you submit the track and maybe in a year or two it'll get posted. There's got to be a site that's more immediate. Problem is I don't know any. Last time I checked ThaSauce it seemed pretty dead. And thats basically all I know.
  3. Hmm, I'm trying to remember if I even play any instruments.
  4. The sax is nice, man. Smooth and mellow. I thought it sounded like live playing, samples don't have the convincing note transitions.
  5. I tend to brutally highpass pianos in full mixes. That said, I went back and automated the EQ to ease up during the quieter sections. I like this better. Even so the low end is chopped off the piano, which is nothing but murky haze and doesn't contribute anything meaningful. Bass was my typical signal chain, compressor, multiband comp, distortion, EQ. Acoustic guitars sounded good, just some low cuts and light compression. The lead acoustic guitar instrument had very big transients so I used some peak compression to bring those into line. Vocals were the one problem. Recording has a midrange sound, kind of unnatural. That means damage control EQ, rather than minimal EQ on a good recording. Drum kit was processed minimally, bit of low end off the kick and a boost in the mid. Cutting the fundamental of the snare to make it sound lighter. Parallel compression on the whole kit. The sax sounds nice... is it real? Sounds pretty real to me. Anyway, if you have more questions I'm happy to answer them.
  6. I threw together a quick mix, bout an hour. That was fun. Thanks Strader.
  7. So... every song will be a medley. These medleys are numbered in the 2nd OP. Different people will do the music for these medleys. So far it makes sense, though obviously not a standard OCR remix project. Then the singers come in... where? Every song? What is up with all the characters? You've classified them like an opera, is this an opera project then? Do you think you can find so many different singers? (that can all produce good quality recordings) How will the lyrics for such an idea be handled, and how will the vocals be coordinated with the people doing the music? What the heck do the stages of grief have to do with the music? With regards to the art idea, do you remember what happened to Milky Way Wishes? Maybe I'm just dim but the whole thing seems fairly inscrutable to me.
  8. I read the first two posts, but I must admit I came away somewhat baffled. It may make sense to you guys on the inside, but as an outsider it seems overwhelming.
  9. Are children not deserving of glorious stereo sound?
  10. unfortunately I have struggled with finding a style for my entire "career", and am still am no nearer to that goal. So I would have to say, there is no such song.
  11. thumbs up from me. I have no complaints to make about this song. It's going in my playlist. It's that Stutter Edit bitcrushing? Sounds like it. I like the bitcrusher in SE, it has a tasty sound.
  12. despite the fact I have already posted in this thread, I looked at it just now and thought, Brandon Strader is using OC remixes? What, other peoples' mixes?
  13. Yep. The comments on the first page were for a rough demo.
  14. Say you find a cool picture you would like to use in a video as a background to a piece of music. Obviously, I would try to find the author and get their permission before I use it. But what if you can't find the author, or are unable to contact them? What is the proper etiquette for this situation? Should you use it anyway with a disclaimer, or find something else?
  15. so... um... if I wanted to make simple Youtube videos without an overwhelming GUI, what is the best program? Preferably free or cheap? I have access to Premier Pro 5 but it's, like, way too complicated for me.
  16. This is an open offer until further notice So, I like to mix things. I'm just weird that way. Haven't done it much lately and I'm feeling hungry. If you have a track you want mixed (for free), send it my way. Original or remix, it doesn't matter. I wish I had some current samples of my work. I have some but they're like 5 years old, so, yeah. Honestly though, the only thing you potentially lose is the time it takes to upload the stems. Alright. What I need from you is: - lossless audio files (WAV, FLAC, APE). FLAC and APE will save your bandwidth because they compress audio really well. - individual instruments (drum kit preferably broken into components... kick, snare, etc). everything rendered as audio. - no fx - everything synced so I can drop it in my DAW Upload and send me the link, and that's it! I'll mix yer track for free (single tracks only, no albums).
  17. Well. Wasn't sure I would revisit this, but I went and finished 'er up. That's one less Reaper project sitting there for months, angrily staring at me.
  18. In the preferences there are some RAM and streaming options you can mess with. It tells you how much RAM is being used as well. Idk, I've never had any issues running the libraries. I've read that Engine2 is less efficient than Kontakt, whatever that means.
  19. Isn't that the policy of most retail stores though? Once the seal is open they don't want it back for obvious reasons. Idk, I haven't bought a new physical product game in eons.
  20. Hmm, I remember listening to Mercenary like, a decade ago. Can't remember anything about them, though. If its melodic metal though I'll always give it a chance.
