guys we forgot to include the most formidable robot master of all
He even has his own theme song!
-
I'm quite pleased with this signature--thank you, Rexy!
Also in regards to the robot master I ended up getting--it was a toss-up between Gemini and Top man, so I'm extremely pleased with getting Top Man to work with.

In short, the definition of dubstep is loose enough that there's plenty of room to make cool, intricate music while still classifying as 'dubstep', and most bad dubstep is bad because people only stick to the bare bones of the genre. Like with anything else.
So true. A lot of my "OMG I LOVE DUBSTEP" friends would classify me as a "dubstep hater," because of how much of their favorite music I can tear to shreds. I don't hate the genre of dubstep, I just hate the fact that so many garbage, bedroom producers can put their half-baked crap out there and get so many fawning fans.
To me, dubstep is an exercise in production values. I even dig a lot of Skrillex, because he did what he does FIRST, and he did it with polish. Noisia are one of my favorite bands, and I've been able to see (via studio tapes and interviews, etc.) how much work they put into their production techniques (plus they started out as dark DnB--another "exercise in production" genre--first, which they absolutely rule at).
The best dubstep music, of course, is when you combine flawless production values--slick synth patches, clean mix--with a well-thought-out melody line and chord progression. If the mix isn't clean, if the drums are generic, if the synth patches have been used in every other "dubstep" song out there, then the song is garbage to my ears.
Granted, I've always admitted that I am first a producer and second a musician. My standards tend to be insanely high, and the average listener might not care. I just wish the average listener could learn to be a bit more discerning with what they consume and what they praise.

Meh. We might see a small price increase, but it's not going to be anything incredibly huge. I'll have to (oh, darn) pay $100 for a 1.5 TB drive instead of $80.
-
Well, Akuma and I justhis theme, so it would've been just a tad redundant. Flex has also remixed it.
This. The name is incredibly apt (especially since I might do a remix of the Akumajo/Prophecy remix at some point since they handed me the vocals a while back).
Plus, we are solid ReMixers.
-
That's it. I'm taking this as a challenge to make some actual quality dubstep for OCR. Besides PR's track, what else has there been? (I know something most of you don't in regards to some project tracks, which are brilliant, but those don't count yet.)

I'm joining Jason Covenant and AkumajoBelmont. Here are my choices:
1. Gemini Man
2. Top Man
3. Air Man
4. Spring Man
5. Heat Man
I'll probably be going last, as I've got a ton on my plate, but once Jason asked me to join, I couldn't say no.

I just want Groudon back, dagnabbit. Gotta get my legendaries. I played through Ruby twice on an emulator and never got to actually use the 3rd gen 'Mon in any sort of competitive manner (and I'm too cheap at the moment to go out and buy a used cartridge).
Also, +1 for the DS Lite. I love mine.
Edit: Add a +1 for Metagross. That's one of my all-time favorite pokemon.
-
Personally, I think discs 2-3 are the best ones of the lot. That's just my electronica leanings speaking, though.
-
I'd personally appreciate if this thread didn't get hijacked with a stupid and pointless "mac vs pc" argument.

I didn't pay nearly as much as this thing seems to think my library is worth, though. Most of this was bought at severely-reduced prices, thanks to sales.
EDIT: Awww crap, the steamcalculator site broke my sorted library.
Now I have to go back and re-categorize everything.
Also, I do own BC2.

Anyone else as shocked (and yet somehow not) as I am?
You pour THAT MUCH of your life into one thing and it's gotta shorten your lifespan. However, who else just kinda thought he'd always be around? Regardless, he changed the world, and I have to respect him for that.
Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.

Hey y'all, I'm gonna revive this thread real quick to let you know that this album is now on iTunes! If that's your thing, anyways. Should also be on Amazon MP3, Spotify, and a ton of other stores as well, soon.
Also, if that whole "paying for music" bit isn't your thing, you can still get it for free/pay-what-you-wish on my Bandcamp page, of course.
-
This is probably my favorite out of all the other tracks on the album. I dig the New Order-ish-ness of the track (Blue Monday, anyone?) and the well-constructed retro vibe in general. Nice work!
-
This is pretty awesome, and I registered just to say that. Well, and to ask: is there any way FLACs could be made available for this?
I can definitely make one available for my track, at least.

I've been trying to bring another programmer on to help me out but part of the problem is explaining your vision for something to another person. It's difficult to explain what needs to be done when you're the only one who really knows your own code!
I might know a guy, if you're still looking for help.
-
I FULLY endorse this album. The word "epic" is overused, but that is what this album truly is. I'm only sorry I didn't listen to it sooner!
-
Expect a finished-song PM from me very shortly.
-
I buyed this. Can't wait for my ALAC files to finish downloading.
-
Aaaaand...done!
That said, I'm a bit confused--should I submit this as usual to the panel, or will you be taking care of it yourself a different way, DarkeSword?
-
Working on some trancey remix goodness for mister Concrete, here, right now.
-
I'm an equal-opportunity ReMixer, but that's mostly because I had no opportunity to play "standard" video games when I was growing up, haha.
Also:
Easier to get the OST. But take a song like 'Lets Dance Boys' (Bayonetta) and try to remix that into something OCR quality.Sounds like a challenge.
-
I've used versions 7 and 8, couldn't tell you about 9 (the latest). I really like it when doing straight-up recording and mixing, but, like Andrew mentioned, it's not great for composition (or OC ReMixing). It can be done, no doubt, but there are better tools for that job.
Plus, if you go the VST- or AU-based hosting route (Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, whatever), you'll get a lot more fantastic freebie plugins to choose from. You can't get much in the way of free RTAS (the Pro Tools format) plugins.

I've got this sneaking suspicion that the Flexstyle-bLiNd collab won't happen on this project. We're both insanely busy, him especially.

That made my morning.
