Oh what. Moar free electronics stuff? I approve.

Just to tide you guys over, I've included one of the bonus tracks off the album in my latest podcast. GET EXCITE.
(also, search for the podcast in iTunes and subscribe to it, if that's your thing.)

Thanks, guys!

Bump, for great justice! C'mon, guys, I know finals are nearly here, which means you can definitely start thinking about entering this contest. Right?

Got your email and replied to it last night, 4L. Just checking in to make sure you received it.

ME3 is half-off today for Amazon's Gold Deal of the Day thing.
Curse you, Jimmy! I was doing so well at saving money. Now I really want to buy the game.
Must...resist....

I know veeeeeery little about flstudio (on account of being lazy as hell), but if you get a mp3 or wav or something of the song, you could throw that in the audio clips, click on the name of the thing to bring up the channel settings, and under the Time Stretching field, change Resample to Auto (to keep the pitch from shifting) and crank the MUL dial to 200% or 300%
it'll play the clip at half or third speed if you do that, making it considerably easier to pick out notes; additionally, you could stick the pattern that you're building next to the clip to check against it note for note
I do this all the time for tracks that I can't find a MIDI for. Saves me so much headache.

Sent you a message. Definitely interested.

Voted! You're tied for the lead now--c'mon, OCR, let's make this happen!

Crap. Sounds like every other techno song on the site.
Try harder next time Mr. ViolinProtagonist.

Piss off.
Enjoyable stuff, TGH!

Quite likely, depending on when they were actually recorded. Remember, I'm not talking about cassette tapes. I'm talking about big, massive reels of tape, the sort that gets used in recording studios all over the world to this day. Heck, I'd bounce some of my tracks to tape if I had the money. Sound is much warmer and has much more character than digital recording.
-
Keep in mind that in the past, nearly everyone recorded to 2" tape. We didn't always have Pro Tools, y'know! A lot of artists still record this way even today. So, they could have recorded the tape at one speed, then played back at a slightly different speed when mixing, and then sent that mixed-down version to another tape for mastering, which was then played back at another speed . . . you get the picture.
-
A guess off the top of my head would be that the tape used for mixdown was played back a little faster than it should have been when creating the digital master. That's just an educated guess, though.

New episode. Features A_Rival, Knife Party, halc, WillRock, The Foxglove Hunt, Shnabubula, and Radiowar. http://podcast.flexstylemusic.com/site/ep0015/

Love it! This brings me some almost Beach Boys-y vibes, but also that Weezer lightheartedness as well. Love it, downloaded, and I'm definitely checking out the rest of the music from this crew!

I don't like picking favourites, but I must say that Top This and Wily's Bubble Bath stood out quite a bit for me.
My day has been made.
Agreed, there were quite a few great mixes which came out of this compo. I'll second Mirby--Synthesize This! was one of my very favorites from the entire compo, but that'd be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how many great mixes there were in here. I'm also really proud of my teammates' tracks; I think they turned out rather spectacularly, if I'm allowed to say that.
Dunno if I'll ever have the time to do something like this again...aw, heck, who am I kidding? I'd totally jump on it if I thought I could squeeze it in sideways. Nice work, everyone!
-
Finally got everything installed (only took me THREE DAYS, haha), and I have to say....EWQLSO PLATINUM+ IS EXCELLENT. Love it so far!
Also, Sweetwater was quite possibly the best online purchasing experience I've ever had.
-
Great stuff, everyone, thanks so much! I've got the speech as well-prepared as it's gonna get at this point, but feel free to keep posting your thoughts here if you'd like.

I literally just did this for a public speaking last week. I gave a lecture and described OCR as a community that fosters quality VGM music (gave the example of the Aversa's and Soul Caliber V, too)!
I'm planning on mentioning SCV, Mass Effect 2, and Street Fighter Turbo HD Remix. I think for this crowd, Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac may be a bit too "underground," sadly. There are probably several other games that I could mention as well, but SCV/ME2/SFTHDR are the biggest ones I can think of.
-
I'm giving a speech tomorrow for my public speaking class, and the constraint given by the teacher was that it had to be on some sort of sub-culture or community. I think OCR definitely qualifies as that sort of thing.
So, what's one thing you would tell someone who has never heard of OCR? Besides, of course, the obvious "there are awesome video game remixes here!"
-
Usually a combination. I'll noodle around on my keyboard for a while, then take the best ideas I came up with and piece 'em together in the piano roll.

More like welcome to creative license. It's ok to purposely break grammar rules for effect, unless you're a newspaper columnist or textbook writer.
This, exactly. I didn't see that as a writing error--I saw it as a way of conveying the thoughts in the head of the man and his wife.

My boss back at the recording studio I worked at in Nashville a few years ago swore by LaCie--wouldn't use any other brand, ever, end of story. I've personally had good luck with Iomega external devices for a long time, but I'm not entirely sure what they use as their underlying hardware in those things.
