Original My remix Feedback is *always* welcome. I just had to get this off my chest since it's been in basically development hell for almost a decade... Link below for comparison http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/66563

I could post a lot of solos from Lifeson (Limelight comes to mind) But ugh the solo from La Villa Strangiato always hits me in the soul.

I push it up enough so that if someone was listening to a CD of my stuff and some other rock band the difference wouldn't be *too* noticeable. I my RMS usually ends up around -10 and that's fine enough for me. Probably too loud for most.

I don't think Level 42 gets enough Love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU_Fqy0SEYM

I write ABAB but then like... make the As super different from each other if that makes sense. Like same chord progression but different rhythm etc. In fact most orchestral music does this anyway where it's A B A C A D but like the As are like A1 B A2 C... etc. If that makes any sense? It works for me pretty well, doing that has helped me break structure. As has through-composing.

in a week??? urgh

Gonna throw my two cents in as well... I'm by no means *popular* but I gotta say that like, though I know I lose fans and then do polarizing stuff like My Little Pony related music w/e my fanbase has kept growing steadily and not too many people have left. In fact most people tell me they can look past the pony because they enjoy that I'm not afraid to poof around with genres and I just do what I do to make people jam out. Honestly, keeping a singular identity and just putting as much quality content out there is going to draw even more people, then pretentious people can brag about how diverse you are to others.

Idk my fans are supportive of just about whatever the bloody hell I release. I mean it helps that I sing on almost everything I do and people have to like my voice to be a fan :3

I wanted something catchy and Cyril means Lord. I got an account hacked and appended "the Wolf" That's really all there is to it.

So, I ate like shit while I was away doing convention appearances and stuff. But I'm back and eating 300-400 calories a meal!

I'll sign up as a star again.

I just wanna chime in here because I did *not* end up helping out by playing at all, I was definitely in 100% mentor mode for this one. Considering what ended up becoming the timeframe of actual solid work Jonathan! killed it. I hope to listen to the others soon as I can

Man I should do a tribute. Gosh idk... the most striking thing for me was when Crono died. Like... I couldn't *deal* with that when I played it 10ish years ago.

My exercise has slagged off. Lost 9 pounds thus far though! Wooo! I've been counting my calories, though my wife screwed up her knee so there's been a lot more takeout lately due to time between taking her to the doctors for eval etc. I did have to walk 3 miles on sunday to get her car. I still ache a little from that. New goal: be able to walk 3 miles with no problem. Then move up to jogging it with no problem.

I have one album that's not the loudest ever but still decent... Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. Mixing wise I typically follow older albums, but Nightmare is my mastering measure. Then I go and listen to something stupid like a American Capitalist by Five Finger Death Punch and I gag myself because of how overlayered and squashed it is.

Interest is piqued.

sure! Would love to

I mostly do metal and play guitar but I've got a few posts so I'd love to help someone up and coming out by showing them arranging and such (and playing guitar/bass for them) I'm fairly available through skype over the next few weeks and plan to be more of a "mentor" than actively laying down tracks but I can definitely help out in that regard and give ideas.

Yea a Sunday deadline would be a lot better. I found myself with very little time and having to cram all my work into 4 hours on Saturday for my round 2 track. Thank you Darren for doing a really cool idea. I hope to see more in the future.

In 2 hours (8:30p ET) I will be on 8bitx for a bit of an album release party. Come chill with me and ask me silly questions! If like 30 people show up in the chatroom, I'll put people's names in a randomizer and give away some free DL codes Free original music isn't a rarity around these parts but hey.

Ah! sorry I've just been really focused on doing my album project release LOL I did enjoy the entries, sorry I forgot to vote!

WHen I upgrade my computer I'll start doing this becuase holy heck Have I had fun doing music production sessions in the past.

I write far too many tunes. Notably this has some tunes about Samus Aran (Track 10) and Sarkhan Vol from Magic: the Gathering (Track 9) A lot more featured vocalists this time around! I had a great time and it's the best sounding album I've produced yet! If you like alternative metal, progressive rock or heavy blues check this sucker out. It's a journey to be sure. Come check it out on http://8bitx.com on Wednesday, Feb 25, 2015 at 8:30 for a cool listening party.

This is pretty cool. It's sort of funny, you lose more than you think with Mp3 compression. Though I didn't see what the bitrate was of the encoding.
