That's actually what I've been doing. I made the basis of my arrangement in Finale (basically just the standard treble and bass piano clefs) and then exported it to a midi (type 1, with each staff as a different channel) and then imported it into Reason. I wrote little notes using the text tool to remind myself of what I wanted to do with it (have some strings here, this type of drum here, etc...). Then in Reason, I would add instruments in the background (flute, strings, echoes, etc.), change from piano to another instrument (a sax for example) and play with the basic arrangement even more. Like, instead of having just a left and a right hand, I have a left hand on piano, with the right split into a soprano sax and an alto sax playing an octave apart playing the same melody but with different arrangements so that it sort of sounds like they are competing for the spotlight.

If it takes a while to connect stop it and try to connect again (don't wait for it to stop on it's own), sometimes I couldn't get logged onto the server and that seemed to help for the second try.
Nope, it was actually my virus scanner thinking that irc was a threat to my computer : \

I've got the Logitech X-540's with a 3 year-old laptop's built-in soundcard and could pick everything up cleanly. Granted, the 30Hz was a little weak, but I was also on 5% of the volume on windows and only halfway up on the speaker's volume control. Everything else was a good volume. Not too shabby for $60 with shipping.
-
Well, I figured out the problem. It was my virus scanner (McAffee). Lately it's being a whiny bitch about everything (I can't disable it, everything is causing it to think something is hijacking my computer, etc...). Apparently it has a rule set that blocks mIRC from connecting through any port. So under the rule exclusions I added mirc.exe. It worked.
-
Ah, neat. I was looking for something like this to test my speakers and headphones. Is there a test out there that tests every frequency from say 30Hz to say 20KHz at a constant volume to see where your speakers/headphones lack strength at reproducing sound? Or just a chart comparing different headphones/speakers (someone found something for ipod headphones and some sennheisers, but didn't give a reference or a page with other company's products)?
-
I connected once I realized that Drack's OP in the ClanOCR thread had mistakenly used .net instead of .com. Maybe that's your problem, Sengin?
Nope, I still get "connection refused."
-
I have tried connecting through mirc and chatZilla to various irc servers (specifically for the purpose to find out the problem of not being able to connect to clanocr). I am getting "connection refused" through both clients. I have a feeling it might be because I'm on my campus' network and it's somehow blocking it, but I haven't had a problem with ports yet. Any ideas? I tried changing the port in mIRC, but it still tried to connect with the default 6667 and failed.
Thanks.
-
Nah I don't recommend playing with people that piss you off about a game. That just leaves a sour taste in your mouth when you think about playing.
Edit: COME TO #CLANOCR ON IRC.ENTERTHEGAME.COM IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW YOU MEASURE UP
WE WOULD IF IT WORKED. Seriously though, I can't connect, and neither can quite a few people that I've talked to. : \
-
We're looking for more people in #clanocr. Come if you want to try your luck against me.
I'm workin' on gettin' in to it! But I can't seem to connect to the client. I would be quite quite quite interested in getting with people and playing. I loved melee and played it as often as I could. But because of that, I still haven't gotten my Brawl "legs" down. I haven't gotten used to the physics yet and haven't gotten the automatic responses out yet (wavedash backwards, wavelanding onto platforms and into grabs and such, jump canceling shines, l-cancelling, etc.. for falco).
And no bat drops on the home-run contest makes me sad
I got my code added to the database, here it is for those who don't want to look it up: 3995-6300-8335. So far I've added a couple people (atma, eulogic, !Nekko!, Neo Samus, Silent Mike, and Lord Rodericki, will get to add more later). If you add me, send me a PM so I can return the favor.
-
Is anyone else having trouble connecting? I'm using chatZilla if it matters. Had a friend try it with a regular client, it won't connect.

I got to play a little bit of the SSE before I had to catch a plane to florida for a week...I'm REALLY antsy not being able to play at all until Saturday night. I just know that everyone is getting great and discovering all this stuff, and I'm stuck behind...hopefully I'll get to play for a while and catch up, but right now it's driving me nuts. I was great at melee and was actually the one to teach all the advanced stuff from melee to anyone interested at my school, and have been greatly anticipating online play to play others from here and around. I'll be adding you guys as soon as I get back, but before being able to play I'll need to unlock everything and actually get USED to brawl and get all the melee-second-nature things out of my head.

To those running the gamestop midnight tournament: I know you can't bring your own, but do you get to choose which controller you use? As in, do they require everyone to use the wiimote, or do they ask if you want to use a gamecube controller, classic, or wiimote?

*flexes stud muscles*
THAT would be called the Kegel exercises

You could also go to sf2midi.com and look through their ethnic instrument soundfonts.

Yes, the version on my website is the final version. Glad you like it
I certainly do indeed
. Aww, the final? I was hoping it would be longer 
(it still says WIPv2 in the description of the ID3 tags). Is the saxophone recorded by you or did you find samples? If you recorded it, what make/key/etc..? It's a wonderful sax. -
Now, I'm not one for orchestrated music, but after listening to Kanjika's "The Secluded Stronghold," I think I may have to change my mind. That was such a wonderful piece of music. A first listen through the whole project left me kinda "Uh...this is good, but most of the musical styles I don't like." However, now it's more of "Well damn. I don't know which I want to hear next because they're all great."
I especially love Xenon Odyssey's Lava Passion WIP. Are there any plans to finish it? Love the sax in there so much. I take it the version on your website is the version after the one included in the project?

Do you guys take a look at the author before listening? In other words, if you know the person submitting has had other remixes on the site before, does the name even subconciuosly affect your decision if you're on the fence? And the same for new remixers, but with the other way? If you're on the fence, is it more generally a "no" so that you can hopefully get a better quality mix in a little while as a resub?
If I were to submit a mix now, what would be the average time it takes to get judged? And if it got accepted, what's the average time it would take to make the front page? How many mixes that have been accepted are still waiting to make the front page?
Good idea for a topic, by the way.

Are the cutscenes for brawl configured to show the little "1up" etc.. arrows above the characters? Because if not, based on some of those pictures, the in-game graphics looks AMAZING.

Take a short break and either listen to something of a completely different genre or multiple genres for a while. After a while, you'll start to think to yourself "I like what was done here, that sounds nice, didn't like that because..., etc..." Then, go back and listen to your tracks and you should be able to better identify what doesn't work and what does, or even how something needs to be changed. Give your ears a break from the same type of sounds.
-
You could also right-click on the device and select "Initialize Patch." It will load the init patch, which is nothing.

I think it sounds pretty good. Very chill; I can see myself listening to this after a long day or just relaxing. I'm not overly familiar with the source, but it seems like you incorporate enough of yourself to be worthy in that regard. It could possibly use a little more, maybe a short flute addition here and there in the background.
-
Glad to hear that Angel Island is in, but they seriously need to give the Hydrocity zones some lovin'.
-
Eh, technicalities
.Anyway, just keep in mind that it's still early. I also changed a little on the parts before it (but not too much, mostly the beginning part).

Thanks for the review. I'm actually pretty happy with my pad work, though I wasn't sure it was going to turn out alright when I first started. And yeah, I'm working on the transitions (they used to be worse). I think I'm still going to keep the single-instrument transition at 2:11, because I think it's a nice break. But the others will get some work.
I was thinking of bringing the bass part of the piano out very slightly and pushing the flute slightly back, but I think I'll try a different bass instrument (if I can find one). Also, the seventh you are talking about, which instrument do you mean?
I should have some time to work on it today, and I've already started work on the next section. However, the transition is absolutely awful (but I just wanted to get to work on that section and worry about the transition later). It starts off with saxes, an alto and a tenor, playing a slightly altered section of Ice Cap in a different key signature (instead of C,C, bB, it's bE,bE, bD). And then one of the guys thinks it's boring, so he does something a little different. And then the other guy does the same, and then there's what's basically ice cap being "dueled" between two saxes for a short while. But, I have no volume work done, no panning, no nothing. Just some notes with an instrument (and I don't even know if the saxes sound ok). I have some exaggerated differences to remind myself of what I'd like to do (makes these notes a little louder, etc..), but nothing set in stone or even worked on. So it's like a WIP of the WIP.
Anyway, I appreciate the review and thoughts on it. I should hope to have a little more done later today and post it for early thoughts on it (perhaps I need better saxes to to expand things, etc..).
question for anyone using finale 2007 or 08

Can you import midis into Reaper though? I haven't used it, so I'm not sure. If you can't, then it'll be pretty useless for CloudvsTidus4Life's purpose.
