Now we lie on the floor

Finds its way through the air

I've listened to this album a bunch of times now and I just can't get into it. It's not terrible or anything, and there are a lot of promising ideas for the songs here, but the execution is lacking for the most part.
'Sexy Boy' is one of the few songs that I feel like the ideas really came through. Fuses trip hop rhythms with intricate and developed electronica very effectively. The vocals here work very well. My other "favourite" is 'Days of Summer V2'. Great energy and sound, also a great choice for the opening track. The rest of the songs were just alright to me.
Not to single it out or anything, but I felt like 'Requiem for Another World' is the one track could've used a lot more work. The vocals here just don't work as well as they did in songs like 'Sexy Boy' and 'Thieves of Fate'. They're pretty jarring. The singing isn't that great either, the vocals are frequently off-key and there is a whole lot of unnecessary scooping in most of the larger interval jumps.
That aside, congrats on the project everybody.

I like the idea of these for toms, maybe, unless you're gonna be triggering different samples for different positions on the toms.
That's pretty cool, I might try that sometime
And thanks, Vivi, that was really helpful.

What's your budget?
Under $1000 pretty much, maybe a bit over.
Are you looking for something with a great module and onboard samples (or the ability to sample directly to the module), or just something to trigger midi on your computer?Both, I suppose. Midi is probably the most important if it comes down to it since I already have an acoustic kit.
Just to give you some basic stuff to look at to get you started; I like Yamaha's DTXPress IV kits for modules, and the pads are pretty good too. They're made of softer rubber than they used to be so they're easier on the hands and joints. They run about $1200 typically. Also, if you just want something to trigger midi, you may want to look at their DXPL kit. It's about $700 which is nice if budget is an issue, but you get a lot more out of the higher end modules in my opinion, so keep what you want to use these for in mind.Roland has some comparable kits with their TD3 and TD6 kits. I have an older TD6 and love it, but when I was pricing up electronic kits a few years ago, the rolands were usually more expensive for about the same feature list because of the mesh headed pads. If I hadn't gotten my Roland set used and at a very good price, I would have gone with Yamaha in a heart beat. I think you get just as much from their kits for less. The only reason I could see going with Roland is if you absolutely must have the mesh headed pads.
What is the advantage of mesh headed pads? I don't necessarily care about the realistic feel of the pads so much as their responsiveness (for example, a snare picking up ghost notes, buzz rolls, etc.).

I've been thinking about getting one of these, mostly so I can make more natural sounding drum parts rather than just clicking around the piano roll in FL Studio. I don't have a lot of experience with these, they all seem pretty much the same to me. Does anybody have any recommendations or tips as far as what kinds are better than others for this sort of thing?

This is a song my friends and I did back when we were like 13 and played in a band...it isn't the first song I ever wrote (though I didn't write much of this one, I was the drummer) but it's the first song we finished enough to the point of actually recording it properly. My drumming is pretty brutal, I sped up a lot towards the end...
Anyway, here it is.

..........The biggest problem with games is that they act as a negative filter, and I suspect more people will see it this way than ans a positive filter. How many people are likely to search for, say, Zelda remixes but will actually end up listening to all of them? Perhaps for those who have been around the community long enough to hear all the mixes, being able to filter out songs that aren't of a specific genre might be great if you're only in a mood to hear Zelda on a given day, but for someone who's relatively new to the site, I strongly suspect the tendency will be to say "I like Zelda, let me see what OCRemix has", which is fine on its own, but when it's not accompanied by a followup "now that I've heard all the Zelda, I'll listen to everything else too", listeners miss out on a lot that they might like if they were to hear it. I'd call this a bad thing. -
If you add a feature that allows you to search by genre, you'll obviously only look for mixes from genres you know you enjoy
that assumes that people enjoy only one or a few genres. also that same argument could be used for categorizing remixes by game, original composer, etc.
the way I see it it's the exact opposite. categorizing remixes only makes them more accessible. the way it is right now all the remixes I have are either from games I am familiar with or remixers I know I like, not including the ones I have found by pure chance. I don't really have time to go one by one through the archive so any means of categorizing the music is helpful.

I think this is a great idea
-
This is pretty good only I wasn't really feelin the drums that come in at 0:30

Are commercial album releases moved to this forum after 2-3 weeks as well? To me it seems that those sorts of announcements are less about getting feedback (i.e. a work in progress) than they are letting people know about a finished product you are hoping to sell.
-
congrats on actually getting this done in such a short time. it sounds pretty good so far.
uhh I guess not a lot of time was spent tagging these though
O Come, O Come, Emanuel and Winter's Town are really great.
-
this is awesome. almost...cinematic the way the songs fit together.
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so loud
-
yeah sounds like you're improving a lot...just gotta work on balancing the volumes, the supporting parts drown out the main schala melody.
-
I remember listening to this in the WIP forums awhile back and really enjoying it. I randomly got the opening of the song in my head today. It's a very beautiful piece.
-
OK so this is the most updated version. I sped it up a bit, but not too much because I felt like it made the sample sound too rushed, even when it was adjusted to the new tempo. It could just be me though since I'm so used to it being slower. I'm gonna listen to a ton of house this weekend to get a feeling of where I wanna go with this, I think it has some potential. Thanks for the feedback so far guys.

I was using the technique in FL's sidechaining template which is pretty much the same thing I think. I didn't do the invert part though, I think that was the problem. How does it sound now?
-
I'm trying to learn to do sidechaining to get that sort of house sound, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Anybody have any tips?
-
never thought I'd hear a song that made fl slayer sound good...great job, chumble spuzz
-
That is some awesome early-mid 90s rapping right there
yeah my thoughts exactly, the flow is so nineties
it's not bad, though I prefer myth's more recent hip hop stuff, his delivery has improved since this song.
edit: no pun intended
-
Good lord. Does this site ever get any smart plagiarists?
yeah they're called posted remixers
olololololol

i keep coming back to this thread to listen to this song
