The Legendary Zoltan

Not really the kind of room that I want.

I just heard the news a couple days ago about a young man claiming that we need "revolution" and killing eight students and a principal at a high school in Finland. It's a terrible tragedy and I'd like to send my best wishes to everyone out there. I hope something like it never happens again. Is anyone in this community directly affected by it?

Are all these songs already in the game or do people custom-make these videos with Dragon Force songs and stuff?

yeah. That really fast drum roll of four hits during the intro seems near impossible to pull off in my mind. Is the step mania pad really small or something?

Yeah, if America wasn't such a scary place, I'd totally love to be over there meeting some of you guys. Oh well. I guess I'll just stay here all by my little ol' lonesome self. *tear* Hahaha. Another Soundscape! Is that sig new? It's freaking BEAUTIFUL!

I would tend to agree with you, but George Bush wasn't hand-chosen by the American people. Remember?

I've never met CHz and I'm sure he'll be a great job since he was hand-chosen by OCR but it's interesting to see that the new judge is not an OCRemixer.

Yeah, I think you guys are all misunderstanding when LionTamer says that he's got 0 remixes to judge. That just means that LIONTAMER has finished all the judging work that only HE'S got. Everybody else, still has stuff to judge and that's why there are still like 60 remixes in the "to be judged" list. ...I think. Anyway, I'd like my question answered by someone. Does this mean that two judges have recently quit?

Whoa! So these two guys, Palpable and CHz are new judges?! Nice. Congratulations to you both. I had no idea judges were being recruited. Does that mean two judges have recently quit?

Dude, I'm sorry. I posted this topic and then later figured out what it was and never thought to check back in this thread. So, thank you. That explanation had a lot of that I don't know in it so I better go look it up.

"Video games are my primal musical force." That sounds cool! So you're looking for people who live in Michigan or, even better, Munith. Come on guys. Anyone live out there that can help out this guy?

Oh yeah, I remember this. I remember not saying anything, because I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. In fact, it still sounds kinda like my original in my opinion, which is cool. So I definitely should have said that this is cool, so that you'd know. Sorry about that. The only thing that I think is not for me (which everybody seems to want to do) is the amount of reverb on the vocals. I think it could be like half of what it is. Fray and Sixto's versions had the same thing. I wonder if that's the standard for vocals or something. Anyway, I feel like there's something missing, and I wonder if it might be bass in the overall mix. I'm not sure to be honest, but I'm listening to it and sort of wishing it was a bit heavier. I also think the changes in the volumes on the main lead section in the middle that Fray did were a good idea and would recommend that for all of the remixers now. If I had to pick two things that kick ass about your remix, I'd say it's your sweet harmony notes that you added on that solo at 3:43 and the bass drum sound. Those harmony notes sound really freaking nice right there, perhaps much better than simply adding chorus like I requested. And your bass drum sings to me man. I don't get much ear-fatigue like Fray was having some troubles with and it's freaking heavy and I can totally hear it at every moment of the song. The snare is kind of "non-intrusive" which is good, too. I'm freaking sorry I didn't reply to you. I wish you would have said something earlier. If you want more time, of course it's granted.

Oh, Legion, did I miss one?! I'm sorry. Let me go check it out!

So do most rappers make their music with keyboards like that? The dude, just recorded the drums with his keyboard right? And do they just buy a really nice keyboard that has great sounds or do they try and make their own sounds with samples and stuff?

All I can say is, Wow. Thanks man. I don't see why you can't use the drums from the original midi to make a new bass drum. The tempos and all that should match up right? I hope all the other guys are doing ok. I can't wait to hear what you've all got. I haven't heard anything for a while, but if you need an extension, please tell me.

This is really interesting. I was wondering what you were talking about when you mentioned dynamics since I didn't change my guitar sound anywhere during recording, but now I see what's up. I think the way the volume suddenly changes when when entering the part that occurs right after "raining down from Heaven" is too dramatic. It gets noticeably quiet all of a sudden. and then about ten seconds later the guitars start "growing." Hahaha! Also the vocals are pretty small compared to the drums in the final verse at the end of the song. The drum explosions got way bigger, I see. Hahaha. Other than that, my only main concern is that the sound of the overall thing, or perhaps just the guitars, became WAY lighter. Did you remove a bunch of bass or something? That, and the new bass drum has got to be way fatter too. I think the ear fatigue that you were able to eliminate came from me drastically compressing the bass drum so that I could make it a whole lot louder. I definitely don't want the ear-fatigue, but if it's possible to "flesh out" that bass drum (I can't beLIEVE I just said that!) in some way, I'd be oh-so delighted. On the good side, your choice of sound on the lead guitars is freaking BEAUTIFUL to me. The vocals also sound freaking bad ass. I'm sure you've made a lot of other changes to the sound that I can't distinguish very well because I'm a production n00b, but to be annoyingly honest, I liked version 5 better. But I think that if the volume thing, bass drum thing, and overall heaviness thing were all cleared up, I'd say otherwise. What do you think about all that stuff, man?

Good luck, LionTamer. Aside from the fact that I'm not man enough, nor could do it justice, I'm loving my inclusion in the Xenogears project, right now. Can't wait to hear the Ghouls N Ghosts remix!

I've got the beard you need to research right here. Hahaha!

Yeah, I don't remember doing that. Hahaha. You can pan them to your liking. . . Except 100% left.

I think the reason this place is so long lived is because of the standard of high quality that is enforced via the judgment system. Without a doubt, I think that's what makes OCR different from other music/remix sites. I mean, think about it, we're all here because we like video game music and remixes of that music. But there are a ton of good communities that any of us could have chosen, but the fact is that we all chose this place because it's got "Terra in Black" and "Calamitous Judgment" on it. I don't know ANYONE who hasn't been blown away by that caliber of remix that is being produced here. I think for the musicians, too, it must be the quality of the music and the challenge of trying to reach that point and the triumph of finally making it. There might be people who have other reasons, but I hope that helps. Edit: BardicKnowledge, you have the coolest handle I've ever seen!

Oh sweet. Thanks, Fishy! I look forward to hearing what you do with it. If you want feedback on what I like and stuff, you can post it here and I'll tell you anything you want to know. ^______________________________________^

Yeah. The La Li Lu Le Lo is the comedy Hip Hop act that I do live out here. I make all the music by myself and then I put it into a sampler and then at the concerts it's just me on stage, I push the sampler button, the music starts, and I start rapping. Hahaha. Although rap works better in English, even if you ask a Japanese person, the fact that they don't know that I'm talking about killing Kittychan takes away a BIG part of the effect. So I'm gonna try my best to make Japanese lyrics from now on. I've done one song in Japanese so far, and I don't know how I'll EVER make one as interesting as that one. Hahaha.

Woohoo! It's finally ready for download, baby! Zircon said that we should only post major and complete albums here. Well, although this isn't a full length album, it is complete and considering the fact that there aren't gonna be ANY more English The La Li Lu Le Lo songs (I think), this is basically your ONLY chance to see what the heck I'm doing and understand it, and thus classifies this as "major." After this, all of The La Li Lu Le Lo songs I make will be in Japanese. So I hope you enjoy my short and humble comedic hip hop demo CD. If you click the link directly below the song links, you can read the lyrics. I have to tell you because the link is written in Japanese. http://chipp_damage.sitesled.com/ By the way, the song "The Legend of a Brother" is a cover of the Beverly Hills Cop theme song and I'd like to dedicate it to LionTamer, even though it's a song that's all about Eddie Murphy. Hahaha!

WHOA! I can't BELIEVE I let this thread go this long without telling you about the goodness that is THE SOUL CRADLE METAL SONG! Have you ever heard this? It's not TOO melodic or soloy so it might be what you're looking for. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GEbRivmtnks If you don't know about Soul Cradle, get your ass to that link!
