I thought that was my dream 7 also but check out the JP7 if you haven't yet, it might change your mind (and thats coming from an ibanez fanboy). I still want both.

I've written papers on this shit. You can convincingly recreate 3D spatial audio on headphones for an individual, but it is a total bitch to generalise. Basically audio approaching from a certain direction will have different spectral qualities depending on the parts of your body in the way (the general term for these is head-related-transfer-functions) and the way it hits your ears that is not the same for everyone (plus a bunch of other factors like time-of-arrival differences between ears). If you know how they work for an individual, it can be incredibly convincing. There are some pretty good general models but they don't work for everyone. To be honest its only really effective for short sound effects to help them sound as if they are moving around you. I've heard it and made one of my own at uni, but mixing a song using it would be pointless hard imo.

I care, we all do man.

Mine is called Battle For The Badge actually. Also, laptop being fixed so I should be able to complete that secrit mix too!

I was making my remix, and I got really bored 'cause (not to offend whoever suggested it) it's a really boring generic battle theme. So I did what any bored guitarist would do. Add an unneccesary giant fuck off widdly widdly guitar solo with whammy bar action. http://fishy.escariot.net/private/Lunar2.mp3

It doesn't matter if you use it, the fact that your strings are locked into it means its being used every second. Basically; if you get a bad one, your guitar will not hold tuning. A good one and you'll never have to touch the tuners. Japanese ibanez guitars are really awesome hand buit instruments, their overseas ones are hit and miss. I'm probably not as big an expert on ibanez as neko but yeah, RGT got nothin on RG, especially the prestige models. I have an RG1570 prestige, which is probably the cheapest hand made one, and its damn fine minus the pickups (which are still pretty good for that price range). Stage left: Neko enters the room and corrects me.

This particular forum section just got a lot less informed. Who am I gonna check my analogue tape facts with now?

I'm pretty sure all there is is EQ and the wonderful logic reverb Space Designer. There is some volume modulation going on though for dynamics. Also, good news everyone: I can officially endorse macbook pros again! Apple finally accepted that nVidea screwed up on some gfx cards made around when mine was and agreed to fix it for free despite being out of warrantee! I've can now say I've had no issues with my macbook that are apples fault, although they took their sweet time accepting that it was a common issue.

As far as I can tell: 3 more No's then Yes's 4 more Yes's then No's Keep going until that happens OR ends with a majority or djp needs to break Oddly enough no one ever explicitly told me this, just what I picked up. EDIT: Swedishly sniped!

http://www.utorrent.com/ You just open the torrent file with utorrent, choose a location to download the music to, and even choose which bits you don't want to download and then leave it on overnight and you probably have most of the remixes downloaded. Not really any places to go wrong.

http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/logicpro/ Looks like they have a whole bunch of crazy guitar amps now. Depending on how good it is, I may have wasted my money on guitar rig 3, although I suspect that isn't the case. Also appears to have better notation facilities. May have a deeper look when my macbook r fixed.

Whoops, didn't spot the revote until now. Debloopification = deconditionalized. The other changes were a welcomed bonus. YES

lol, i know, they're absolutely awful live. Thats whats so funny about them.

Waaaarning: Read the fine print of the submission agreements. They will (obviously) own redistribute for profit rights UNLESS you send them a form saying you don't allow them to before they publish it in anything. Just watch yerself.

Freezepop! Damned atlantic ocean with your big-and-in-the-way-ness.

Hah, smarmy; that about sums them up.

I can maybe take a look, though I can't promise zircon quality .

I heard it was GrayLightning. Or his mum or something.

edit: real names don't match but still, m2k is awesome

haha, this made me laugh. Seriously though thanks, if even one person likes it, I'm happy .

ilp0 is without a doubt in my fave 5 remixers on this site. His prog is classy, inventive and polished, but more then that it has character. You definately get the vibe that he has loadsa fun making what he does and it carries over to the listener . Or maybe I just like weird dissonant music.

Cheers . I thought the track could use the chill treatment, hopefully it worked.

Probably beacuase I took no risks whatsoever with my arrangement while I was rushing to meet the deadlines . I have no problem with changing up tracks radically, as long as you can still clearly hear the original. I think its fair to say sometimes OCR likes to blur that line a bit, but its not usually as bad as people say it is. They just want to hear the original so uh... listening to the original?

I wouldn't call myself an orchestral arranger, but here's some old samples of some orchestral crap using logics samples. http://fishy.escariot.net/private/Zanar.mp3 http://fishy.escariot.net/public/Battle.mp3 They're not great, but they're definately not terrible. You'd probably still want to get a good library if you're into proper orchestral arranging.

The remixes on this site aren't made by altering mp3s, they're made from scratch in a music program. Here's a page which tells you who uses what programs: http://www.ocremix.org/workshop/skill/fruityloops The names of the main few programs people use are on the left. Click it and you can see who uses what. MOST people on ocr use either fruityloops or reason. Its really way too broad to tell you "how" to do it as everyone makes music their own way. Try downloading the demo's for those programs and have a fiddle about if you want to see (the basics of) how its done. edit: hrm... my internet must be failing, said there was no replies, ah well .
