Flexstyle

Phoenix, AZ, here, and the reason I love Bandcamp so much is because I can get ALAC files, which is what the rest of my library is in.

I would buy the album if it were released for $5 or less on Bandcamp (that's all I can afford at this point). Just sayin'. Loved the one track I heard on BC.

Yeah, taking a trip to Frys Electronics once I wake up in about 7-8 hours or so. I've got about $600 to spend, so I should be able to find something good.

So....my computer crashed on me. Hopefully I didn't lose much, cos I supposedly had backups going, but I'm not entirely sure how recent the latest one was. I'm out one hard drive and one video card, and I think I'm going to just end up doing a complete system rebuild. The upshot of all that is that I may be a little later completing my tracks than I thought.

Huzzah, it's been released! I'm listening as I type, and there's some fantastic stuff here. Congrats to the Space Whale crew for getting this whole project done and to Andrew for an amazing soundtrack!

I can't access the #ocremix channel at school. Put me down as endorsing a server switch.

I'll probably do a lot of work on our track over Thanksgiving break...the only possible time I have right now, haha.

One month 'til the deadline!

W00t for Siamey!

I'll have some awesomesauce ready in a few weeks, I think. Gotta focus on my Wild ARMs mixes for a week or so. >.>

No restrictions on style. I'll even accept a polka-metal cover, haha. I do call myself Flexstyle after all!

Another bump--admins, if this is seen, would you be willing to move it to Community?

My two WIPs for this project are at about 40% and 10%, respectively. I'll improve those figures before the deadline and make sure I submit something worthwhile.

Pretty sure you'll be pleased with the overall quality of the tracks, dude.

Bump for the weekday crowd?

This, exactly.

Hrm...I'm able to connect with Colloquy on my Macbook.

E-Mu PM5 monitors coupled with a Roland PM-3 subwoofer via a dbx 223 crossover, as well as a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro headphones which I love very much. Occasionally I'll use my Sennheiser HD280 Pros as well, but I kinda hate the sound of them and mostly use them only when leakage is a big problem, like when I'm recording. Soundcard for casual stuff, e.g. listening to music, playing games, whatever, is just my motherboard's crappy built-in sound card. When I'm mixing/recording, I use my M-Audio Delta 1010LT.

Graduate of audio engineering school and avid semi-pro mixing engineer here (meaning I get paid when I do it but it's not much more than a side thing right now), would I be able to at least take a crack at this sort o' thing? I'm mostly an electronic artist, and that's all you'll be able to hear of my work, but I've done a good bit of jazz recording/mixing, thanks to some friends who were generous enough to lend their time and instrumental expertise while I had access to the school's recording studios. I might even be able to upload some of my work if you need to hear such a thing....

While remixing is possible without a MIDI file, it's sure a heck of a lot easier when you have a frame of reference!

I'm getting whatever I get. To be honest, this isn't so much a mastering process as it is a "final checkup," if that makes any sense. A little compression here, a tweak of EQ there, but nothing really serious. The goal is to make the album sound perhaps a little more uniform across the board than previous albums have sounded, and while everyone's got a different mixing style, I like to think I can do a bit o' tightening of loose ends here and there. (you could always PM Wes if you want to hear what I've done, if you're concerned, by the way--I have no problem receiving critique)

For those of you who're wondering about the Jungle Jitter track: YES, please send us a WIP! Make it a somewhat substantial one, so we can get a good listen to it, and make sure you'll be able to finish it in time. Otherwise (and I feel comfortable speaking for Wes about this since I spoke to him about this very subject today), we have pretty much nothing going for Jitters. I'm personally working on a remix of it, HOWEVER, it's a very loose interpretation and doesn't really include enough source to be anything besides a bonus mix. Please please PLEASE send us a WIP so we can see if it's up to par for getting this track locked down!
