I'm not sure if this is the right forum area for this question, but here goes. Is there any way to decompile the .usflib file to extract the samples that the USF format is using? I've used Sound Forge to open it as a RAW file and managed to get a few grainy, low quality [unusable] sounds out of it. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

[uPDATE] I've made a few changes to it and it's starting to come along nicely. Still need to EQ a lil more and fix the length and I still don't know if I'm happy with the snare yet... http://soundcloud.com/drinkeekrow/chicago-remix-1

I was thinking I may have strayed too far from the original.

So I've listened to a few of the songs and first, I'd like to say kudos on the piano work. As much as I hate to say it though, it does sound a little bland. Please don't take that the wrong way, it could be just because it's not really my style [i really do like "This Lovely Feeling" tho. I'm not saying any of them are bad songs in any way. Keep working at it, experiment with the Parametric EQ2, Maximus, and Fruity Limiter some more, and read the help file for the Maximus too you'd be surprised what you can do with that bad boy. You'll def get to where you want to be in no time. www.soundcloud.com/drinkeekrow

Lol! yeah a giant NO is a bit ambiguous but I suppose that keeps people from misinterpreting decisions. [or something]

Glad to help! I actually just discovered that, like a coupla months ago, and I've been using FL for years!

Fair enough. That's kind of what I was expecting to see. Lol! I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

You can actually gain a little bit more CPU overhead on laptops with integrated sound cards if you use ASIO4ALL instead of the default windows output. You may need to do a little tweaking on the settings. If you check the FAQ that comes with the ASIO4ALL driver, it will help a lot!

Unfortunately, I submitted this track to the judges panel before I posted to the forums. What would be your opinion on the chances of acceptance?

Length is most certainly on my to-do list for this one.

You could try DrumCore3, I'm not the biggest fan of it, but it does have multi-out processing and some nice loop midis with it. I generally just use either the FPC or individual drum samples.

So this one is fairly close to being done, but needs a lil more polish first. I have kind of an abstracted to do list for it [i.e. the intro], but I'm interested in what other people think needs work too. www.soundcloud.com/drinkeekrow/chicago-remix

Hey, thanks for the critique! To be honest, the intro thing was kind of an afterthought. After reading your post, it is kinda starting to sound a little tacked on. The distortion effects did actually consist of a LOT of compression, and I can see why you would think it sounds a little over the top. Maybe I will do some tweaking on it soon. Anyway, all I really used to make this was a sample I ripped from the Rush 2049 soundtrack on the N64, and a drumloop [and a lot of fx plug-ins]. The lead really isn't a plug-in patch at all, it's just a heavily processed and chopped up sample.

So I've been a member of OCRemix for years now and the first submission I sent in was a pretty unanimous "No" [probably for good reason]. I don't even remember what I was trying to remix anymore. Anyhoo, this is my first submission in about a decade I think. It's a remix of Retro from the N64 version of Rush 2049. I'm kinda curious to what people think of it, considering it's the first remix of any Rush game on here. www.soundcloud.com/drinkeekrow/retro-man-mind-mix

First i'd like to say, i'd be interested in helping you out a little. http://www.freedrive.com/files/6euzfihpzroc0/Fink.mp3 That there is a small taste of some of my style. I couldn't quite figure out your link though, could you possibly e-mail the file to me in an attachment? Hit me back.
