  1. Ok, this is a WIP remix of Winning Run from Super Hang-On.

    > Original

    Basically, the story goes that about 2 years ago my friend and I were working on a remix of the same piece, we submitted it and it got rejected with some re-subs, but generally, the concensus was that it didn't quite fit the bill.

    > Original Submission

    We lost a fair bit of motivation following the judge's comments, but recently we gained a new lease of life and started on a new version.

    > New Version

    Ok, so this is still a WIP, but the general structure is laid down. Some of the sounds are a bit sketchy, but I'm mainly working with free stuff so it takes quite a while to sift through the garbage. The main synth could do with some modulation, but the plug-in doesn't support it, so that's going to be done after I can find a plug-in to do it on the audio file. The drums are a bit lifeless, with the cymbals being a bit bland, and the snare kinda dies into the mix once all the instruments come in. Drums aren't really my area of expertise though, so I know I'm going to have to improve them.

    From 1:50 onwards is the bit that we're currently working on. The fill section needs a lot of work, but we're a bit unsure about what to do with it, so any suggestions would be more than welcome.

    The section starting 2:20 has some note clashes in there, but it was mainly just hurried together so I could get some feedback about the overall structure. From here, it goes back into the Chorus and after the piece ends, we intend to do an improved verse and then end the piece.

    So yea, any comments are welcome.

    Thanks,

  2. I don't have a problem with you including googleads. Pretty much every site on the internet has some kind of advertising on it now, and it's getting quite odd to see a site without advertising if I'm honest.

    As long as they are subtle and don't detract from experience of using the site then it should be fine.

  3. I haven't seen any real positive media coverage of the PS3 lately. Even the price drop was crapped on because of the BC removal in the 40GB (and rightly so).

    (it's nice to want things though, isn't it?)

    It's mainly been the last couple of days. Like Gamespot did an article about their sales predictions for the Christmas period and they put the 360 in last. Joystiq also did an article about how the PS3 sales are actually equal if not slightly better than the 360's if launches are aligned (which most people already knew).

    Just small stuff like that.

  4. Something odd appears to be happening in the Christmas build-up, the Media aren't being as negative about the PS3 as it is now perceived to be a better deal than the XBox 360, especially with Ratchet and Clank + Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Haze coming out, just to name a few of the big games coming out.

  5. I think the problem is that most games these days have difficulty settings whereas older games didn't. You can't really say that the Sonic games that appeared on the MegaDrive were particularly challenging for the most part, and games like Golden Axe/Streets of Rage are also the same unless put on the hardest difficulty.

    The problem is that the gaming industry is pretty huge these days and if they make games difficult, then "non-gamers" will be put off and this will reduce sales.

  6. Hey guys, I've just finished off my review for Squaresound of this album. I started it pretty much when the album was released and it's probably longer than most of my coursework for my degree, lol. I felt that I should put the effort in though after all the hard work you guys have put in over the last 20 months (I think it was).

    I've tried to be fair across the board and judge each song on its own merits.

    Anyway, the review is up at either

    Square Union or

    Squaresound

    Thanks for the amazing effort you've put in and I look forward to your next album release. ;)
