Something is definitely broken. If you can replace the cord, do that. Otherwise, time for a new pair of cans. Unless you know someone who can repair em.

Yes. Better virtual instruments can definitely help. Quality samples are easier to mix. Whether or not you indulge in them depends how much money you want to throw into the bottomless pit of music production. If you have the money and a sweet tooth, go for it.

Alice in Chains - Got Me Wrong

Sad that no one wants to join. I would, but I am slammed with too many project as it is. I haven't even had a chance to work on non-project mixes in months. I'm thinking late summer or fall I'll have everything done.

I'm a big fan of parallel compression. it generally makes a drum kit sound better all around. I tend not to EQ sampled snares much, other than a lower rolloff. It's best to get the right sound at the source, rather than have to do bunch of fancy processing.

It's my middle name.

That one's cool.

I am enjoying the back and forth. I've found it interesting and informative so far.

the problem as I see it, is that there is a lot more supply of music than demand for it. so it's a buyers market for game developers, and aspiring game composers don't have a whole lot of options available to them. add to that that we're in the age of music piracy, where people don't even want to spend 99 cents on a song. it's a tough row to hoe.

Uh, isn't that the market in action? Unless you're proposing that home musicians unionize.

Do people prefer keyswitches, or separate tracks? Up until now I've been on the side of keyswitching, though it's kind of getting on my tits lately.

I've been tweaking my template for awhile now, it's pretty good though I still need to balance the volume for everything. Certain libraries seem to be louder than others. Reaper has very flexible track routing. It's a snap to route MIDI from one track to multiple other tracks. I'm thinking this might be useful to set up impromptu sections for unison playing. Then you have the choice of triggering instruments separately, or play one of the group tracks. IDK, maybe it's just a novelty idea with little value.

I would volunteer, but there is no earthly way I can have a mix ready by Sunday.

Maybe this? It's pretty short, though, and not all of it is 4 on the floor.

Writing orchestral music can be a massive pain in the ass from an infrastructure point of view, so I figure we could talk shop. This is an open-ended thread; any questions, comments, or tips about setting up an effective orchestral template are great. I'm curious how other people go about this.

How long's the sale for? Laid up at home, sick unto death, won't be till next week that I go back to work and have a fast connection.

I wonder if this will slip in before the FF6 project in terms of release.

Bloody balls, and its still so expensive. Guess this is one game I'll never play.

Is this game still an import?

oh, right, I was supposed to do this. Oh well, too late now.

I'll take classic SNES games over a new console any day. Bah. I feel old. Get off my lawn ya dang kids.

Neither, Native Instruments Komplete audio.

Oh, this tune is so much fun. it would be a blast making something similar. what the hell, I'll sign up. out of town till this Saturday, but I should be able to whip up something in a few days.

Got the latest update for kontakt?
