Listen to some of the fine unbalanced and ruined songs in the meantime.

I'm digging the arrangement, it's the synth sounds that aren't really doing it for me. They're plain jane vanilla.

Things sound a bit clogged and congested in the midrange. Whether you can fix it with EQ or rethink the arrangement is up to you. I'm not a fan of the drum sounds, they sound like stock samples, and they've not been processed in an interesting way. The drum pattern's a bit spastic. You might try thinning it out and creating a more downtempo groove.

I assume you're talking about the vile comments she received, not that picture. Actually, "trolls" is the least of what I would call those people. Psychotic assholes is nearer the mark.

Good man. If you take a super loud track and turn down the volume to bring it into line with older tracks, you can hear how the transients have been completely crushed. I need to bring my levels down as well, though I'm not anywhere near yours.

Why are you judges smarter and more attractive than the average person? Great genes?

I'll sign up as a star, even though that term makes me cringe like hell.

Agree with timaeus, the kicks problem is it's too muffled. Layer a nice bright sample on that bad boy

Absolutely, I will finish as soon as possible. I need to record some acoustic guitar, and it's still pretty uncomfortable from my recent surgery, so that's another reason for holding off a little bit longer.

I'm sensing too much compression, everything feels a little too squashed. Back off a bit and let the mix breathe more.

Not particularly strange to me, the Wind Waker track has been in the pipeline for quite some time, and the deadline approaches. On the other hand, this project has been in development hell so long I don't think anyone will commit suicide over an extra week. Plus, if someone can get a track for Slider or Lullaby in the meantime, all the better.

damn, so now I'm the single thing holding this project up.

Ok, here's the status with me. I am doing my track for On the Breath of the Wind. Once that is done, I will resume this one. So figure, maybe 2-3 weeks until this track is complete. In case anyone can do a track in that time frame.

Yeah, I wonder if we can make comments now without being censored.

They used to money to start an expensive drug habit. A different drug for every day of the week.

It won't let me read the update.

Wow, that wrap function seems pretty useful. I wish Reaper had something like that.

Reaper is exceptionally powerful for the pittance they charge for it. If you have any Reaper questions feel free to PM me.

Yep, I agree with everything said here. Arrangement is quite sparse, and some of the instruments EQ balance is way off, particularly between sections. Feels dry as well, add some more reverb to everything. Don't be disheartened, we all have to start somewhere. btw, good to see another Reaper user.

Got a bit of new kit the other week.

Eh, Classic Pipe Organs is really the only Garritan thing that interests me. And even there, I'd prefer something for Kontakt.

What I would like is to have Icewind Dale 2 with the 3.5 rules, and the various and sundry prestige classes of Neverwinter Nights. One can dream.

Haha, I so agree with that. There is a larger text mod, btw. It definitely helps.

Hmm, I probably will work on this more. But there are some album projects that have to come first. Without naming names, there are certain project leaders who have been VERY patient with me... far more patient than they have any right to be.

Garritan has a 3 for 2 sale. Hmmm, I wonder how the organs is.
