  1. I need one too lol

    I have a Yamaha Psr 260, it works like a dream but extremely difficult to near impossible to find support for it. It was an expensive model but I think the model itself became extinct. I had a midi input plug that went with it but I lost it x_x

    But If I were to pick one, I would pick a yamaha. They can be expensive, but very easy to learn and creating samples from it is very easy. Models now most likely will have the standard keyboard, more synths, more samples, touch-pads, recorders, FX, and midi input support.

    Look on newegg, or amazon to help you on your quest for the best keyboard. I wouldn't spend more then $250 on it, seeing as you can find sources online to help aid your mixes.

    EDIT: But yeah as stated before from the person above me, go cheap for composition look for Midi import (usb or ps/2) plug-in that would be a must. Standard keyboards that are like 50 or 30 dollars usually just come with a piano and no / little input functionality.

    Maybe someone else can help you out as well. (=

  2. I need to work on my samples to get better at it. But I am sure I can muster up something, I don't know if you will accept from me (an unknown) but i'm willing to give it a try.

    I have several ideas already, and since I am going to work on a Halloween track throughout the month, I feel it's only fitting to do an Xmas one.

    How many tracks will be on this? I downloaded several overclocked Xmas albums and they were all quite good. I can't wait for this years album (=

  3. I do it and I wuv it, but it really depends on your style.

    If you are a remixer or a DJ, then sampling goes perfect with it. However, if you are a person who likes to compose original stuff, then you prolly will stay as far away from sampling as possible because you want pure originality rather then just having it as an "original remix"

    I'm all for sampling. It brings added flava to the track, so long as the original artist is ok with you borrowing from their work.

  4. I don't like to throw money at any big-wig software, because they just make you spend more on the "package deals, membership, plug-ins, vsts, etc".

    Right now I try to stray from the big-wig software (FL Studio, Garageband, and various DJ kits) and just stick with limited resources and free trial versions of software... Sure they are limited, but using a variety of them really helps on my projects.

    I am no musician, but I love creating samples and beats.

    But yeah, I was intimidated for sure on the big-wig software, but if you find a software you like, then by all means, use it to its full potential.

    Back to your first post:

    My suggestion is start off with a baseline. (one beat to rule them all), then create sound loops (one beat that binds them), then layer them and see how they sound together. Starting with this will help immensely in your projects, because you will start experimenting with a lot more sounds creating a whole new effect.

  5. It is very hard to get the source material for MMORPGS that do not have ogg or mp3 files in their directory.

    But I enjoy Maple Story as well as this remix.

    I been on the NA Maple Story since it began, and am still on it on this day. The soundtrack made by Wizet is awesome. Hope more remixes come of this game and other MMO games as well.

    Kudos to Level 99 and Liquid Wind (Welcome to the OCR scene) for this relaxing remix.

  6. I have 7 tracks by you and tons more from people you collaborated with, your music is really good. Your guitar work is amazing.

    I play your music in turntable too (don't know what that is? check my sig), and I will always have your music on last.fm

    Sad to see you go, but branching out and trying other things is good.

    Don't forget the OCR and people whom you've collaborated with, use the same inspiration and aspiration you once found in OCR and branch it out into your next thing of whatever it may be.

    Thanks for the tunes.

  7. I am a hardcore gamer... but what is it to me?

    I call myself a hardcore gamer, and so do some of my friends and family. I believe the reason for that is that of more than one... Allow me to list them...

    1) I have been gaming since 1986 when I got the NES. Since then I have been hooked on gaming. I currently own that NES, and several others. I own: NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy advance, NDS, Gamecube, Com 64 (no longer working and i lost all the games, my parents owned it and I found it in the attic lol), PS2, Sega Genesis (currently at my sisters' house), Vista PC which I use for most of my PC gaming, N64, and of course the Wii.

    2) I have also enjoyed trying to make remixes from Video Games via the emulator and ROM era. I stopped because I had no musical knowledge what-so-ever of Music. I bought a Yamaha Keyboard, but had no way to hook it up to the PC lol. So that dream crashed, but that didn't mean that i downloaded and enjoyed remixes here from people who knew what good remixing was all about.

    3) I also like to create games. To me, you are not a true hardcore gamer if you don't intend to try to create your own game. It can be a simple text-based only game, 2d game, or a more advanced 3d game. I still intend to pursue this dream of game creation, but I have a long way to go before this dream is met.

    To sum this all up, I believe your a hardcore gamer if: You have been gaming since you were at least 4 years of age, attempt to make your own collaboration of pre-existing video game tunes, and tried to create your own original game and don't intend to give up on gaming in the future.

    Game until you are physically unable to game any longer. Then game in your sleep, and you will be labeled a "True Hardcore Gamer"

    that's just my opinion though =)
