  1. It's funny that this thread (and the post information) is more focused on the product than the song. :P

    But since that seems to be the purpose, I'll post my thoughts as someone who produces plenty of metal with a rhythmic focus.

    -While this isn't the actual samples and more the amp sim, it sounds a lot like a direct-input guitar. Distorting guitars is one of the hardest things to do with software, since half of their sound on record is based on acoustics.

    -I wouldn't have really given a second thought that the guitar was played in a lot of the chordy parts. They sound le nice. When it gets to the lower parts, it sounds a little off - I'm not sure if this can be fixed through altering the MIDI timings and articulations or not.

    I'm not sure how a lot of the other articulations used in metal sound (palm mutes, half muted, harmonics, pinches), so I can't really give thoughts.

    So now, if we can talk about the actual song... you totally listened to Snappleman the whole time you made this, I know it! :P

  2. Very wow, BGC! I didn't know this until now! Great thing to have a resume, and I'm very impressed (and a little jealous. ;) ).

    Anyway, while it's hard for me to ask many specific questions about the soundtrack, since I'm still on my first playthrough of the game and I refuse to listen to soundtracks before I play a game through - I feel this ruins the intended attachment to the visuals onscreen, and it spoils it a little... there are a few questions I'd like to ask.

    Jimmy: I'd also like to chime in with the question of getting the gig. As a Film Scoring major at Berklee, composing for games, especially a game on this scale and integrity, is my dream that I'm working towards. What avenues would you recommend taking towards these goals? Internships? Small indie games?

    And for you and the rest of the team, what other skills are necessary/helpful in the gaming industry aside from simply being able to write good harmonies and melodies? (synthesis, production, etc.) :)

    And for Jack Wall: Were you using a real hardware Roland Jupiter or a software one all over the Mass Effect OST? I'm hardly a gear-junkie, especially when talking about synths, but I could tell that one a mile away. ;)

  3. Well, your mixer and controller are very different things and do very different things. You won't actually record any audio through a controller like you will a mixer, and the controller controls control (olol) MIDI parameters that are mapped to software (controlling synths and software mixers and the like - kind of making a hardware mixer unnecessary unless you are recording with 8 mics at a time).

    And while I may have come off as harsh on M-Audio, I'll be keeping my Oxygen 49 until I feel that coughing $600 for a Novation 61SL MkII. D:

  4. I dunno. I have an M-Audio and while it suits my needs, I wouldn't say it's the best keyboard in the world - definitely good for starters, though.

    Anyway, I use an Oxygen 49, which might suit your needs. I'd take the Oxygen over the Keystation any day because the MIDI parameter controls on it (the knobs, faders, and buttons).

    And you really should use ASIO drivers for sound unless you have an audio interface and drivers that came with it. If you don't, just download ASIO4All and use that. It will work much better for you, latency-wise.

  5. Take it how you want it, but from what I've seen it's the people who left the OCR clan are the ones who act competitively.

    I hope you're not referring to the people who left for TheShizz clan. While, yes, we do enjoy winning games, I have a number of people here on OCR who can testify that whenever we play and this shit happens, I'm always the guy standing up and trying to play referee, telling people to stop raging, throwing blame, and having shitty attitudes - trying to remind people that it's about fun. In fact, there are some people in OCR that I won't name who don't want to play with me because I'm calling people out for this stuff. I've said a million times that I'd rather play with people like Luke that aren't as good (no offense) but have great attitudes rather than other people who have crappy attitudes, despite being great players.

    And these are all things that I share in common with my fellow Shizz clanmates - the whole reason we left to reform The Shizz clan.

  6. It wasn't even someone raging at me - I just saw someone who I don't want to name throwing a fit at JadeAuto for losing, and I just thought enough is enough. It didn't even involve me, but it's the epidome of what's wrong with the OCR clan in my eyes.

  7. Just throwing out there that a few of us got too tired of all the OCR HoN drama. People raging at other people and ruining the fun for everyone else. So, we reformed the Shizz clan where none of that unsportsmanship will be tolerated.

  8. It's attitudes like that which make playing with some OCR people not much fun, and I'm not the one who's even getting yelled at for this shit.

    Like I've said time and time again, I would rather play with Luke than someone on my own skill level that bitches constantly. Luke might not be very good (no offense, brah), but he makes playing the games FUN with his positive attitude. After playing Dota for years, you'll realize that's the most important part.

    So really, less QQ (in general - not pointing to Bahamut here).
