  1. Never had any real training. I took Music Theory 161 two years ago Pass/Fail but that's it. Kinda taught myself piano but I'm not "good" by any means. It's really because I went the sports route in middle and high school; didn't really think music lessons would help me in life at all. Oops.

  2. Album Preview

    Finally! My first album release is nearing completion. I've got a four minute preview featuring a few of the tracks that you can check out here, with tentative titles:

    Don't worry, there are more tracks than these in the final release. It'll be an 11 or 12 track album. :)

    :01 - :40 - "Visions"

    :41 - 1:10 - "Metropolis"

    1:12 - 1:31 - "Lockdown"

    1:34 - 1:56 - "Mystique"

    1:58 - 2:22 - "Pirates of the Caribbean Remix"

    2:24 - 2:51 - "Untitled"

    2:53 - 3:52 - "White Rain"

    Star Wars Remix

    Also, after much deliberation, I decided to release my newest remix for free, an orchestral trance mix of several Star Wars themes titled "Star Wars Magnus Vir." You can download it here:

    Mailing List Signup

    And finally, a mailing list signup link to stay updated on this album and other projects (remixes, free original tracks, etc):

    Thanks guys! I'll keep this thread updated as the album nears release!

  3. Yeah, I'd like to chime in with my thanks as well. It was definitely reassuring going into the last hour of the finals knowing all the people that were behind us. It wasn't to be this time, but that doesn't diminish the community's contribution at all.

    I'll probably be in a couple categories this month again, we'll see. I'm hitting a wall cause' I don't want to show off too many of my album tracks yet. Look for an album preview soon. :)

  4. Nice, we need more dnb remixes around here. Don't have time to break this down properly for now, but I like the sounds used for the most part. Beats sound crisp and clean. The background chimes doing the main Zeal riff seem a little on the generic side. Maybe try dirtying them up with some glitch or stutters, might sound cool. Arrangement wise, the main Zeal riff gets a little stale after a while, and a few of the bass note choices seem a little suspect. Might just be me, though.

    Overall though, cool mix, nice production, maybe try some unique instrumentation (esp for the main riff) to make it your own.

  5. Have I said this before? I dunno. If I have i'll say it again. "Rising Impact" is awesome. It definitely has the potential to win the 5G's. We'll cast some votes for you.

    You too Jill.

    Thanks man (men), appreciate that a lot. Again, I'm making my push for Rising Impact, so if you get a Rising Impact vs. Stylized Chase matchup and can't decide, go with the former. :) Good luck Jill!

  6. Whenever anyone submits a mix, they have the opportunity to request that a link to the mix be included in the judges decision post in the case that it is rejected. As you've noticed, however, most people don't do this. You'll probably have to ask the remixer directly in those cases. Hope this helps!

  7. I went ahead and did my part, though I will say it was a little bit tougher on the DJ one because that "War of the Gods" track was hella tight. That said, still voted up all of you for first, good luck.

    Thanks! Yeah, I would have voted higher for that track but it's just like a 20 second loop for 2 1/2 minutes, no thanks. "String Theory" is really the only other one I like in the category.

    I hope this works out, I'd really like to see Rising Impact make the finals. :)

  8. "Studio quality" headphones aren't necessarily supposed to sound "good," but "accurate." The last thing you want while mixing tracks is an over-emphasized bass response.

    Sounds like you just want a nice pair of headphones for listening to music, in which case you'll probably be fine just picking up a pair in the price range you said at Best Buy or maybe even Wal-mart. Sorry, I can't recommend a specific pair cause' my ATH-M40fs is really all I've used and that's way over your price range (not to mention a flat response curve, so no added bass at all).
