great news! you deserve it, dain!

i love you!

thanks y'all. we had a good batch this time. Nasenmann, Snooper thanks for participating. hope to see you guys next time.

my hypothesis: the timpani roll clips briefly due to numerous overlapping samples. theoretical solutions: 1. reduce the length of the MIDI notes on the timpani roll 2. shorten the volume envelope for the timpani sample 3. reduce the maximum polyphony of the sampler with the timpani loaded just a guess, but might be worth a shot.

after that site went down i had to start putting my music on mp3.com here's hoping they have a successful beta period !

managed to pull something together for this: http://apmatthe.ws/random/sensual%20cashews.mp3 soft and slow. that's how i like it. cheers.

just youtube it, Blad. much more accessible and no hosting worries. and add me as a friend one you create your account. i need more love.

freaking great. if anyone deserves to have their music performed by a german accordian orchestra, it's you Karl.

here you go: http://apmatthe.ws/random/timbaland%20mozart.mp3

holy crap. participation in this compo is not an option. it is a mandatory duty.

i'm having this post-apocalyptic fantasy where the roaming Jackobot is the only remnant of human civilization after mankind has been wiped out. and then the next species nature selects to be sentient will worship Jackobot as a fierce god.

if true, this may just be the greatest achievement in the history of pop music. seriously, no amount of grammys or quadruple-platinum albums can compete with this.

the equipment was listed in the video info, but the rundown is quick anyway: Moog Phatty synth, Rocktron Banshee talkbox, Ableton Live backing tracks. i like to share setups and techniques in the Remixing forum, so, i suppose it would just be an extension of that. just an idea i've been toying with -- probably not material specific enough for the OCR YouTube. cheers.

i'm paralyzed with... island rhythms!

you go girl !

hay i just filmed a 'performance' of TheIncredibleSingingRobot. hopefully it will be on the OCR group soon: many remixers would take that as an insulting characterization of their creative process.. you might want to clarify. what you're asking for would be kinda cool though, i was thinking of doing something similar. like a cross between a 'making of' and a tutorial. cheers.

i think ocr will extend to the afterlife. the bad remixers like Prot will go to OverClocked Hell and the good remixers like GrayLightning will go to OverClocked HeaVen. i also think djp & larry will make a baby somehow. and this child will be like jesus or the kwisatz haderach or someone important enough to take over the site. i also think shael riley will become a judge.

your win is well deserved, Nuts. i love doing compos but i don't have the time for them like i did back in those days; i gotta keep things lo-fi if i want to participate. still lots of fun, regardless. i'll give your tune a shot, definitely. Douli, is there still time to start ORC for this week or will we be waiting until next? cheers.

i gave these a quick listen -- not bad ! you present the material without dwelling too long on any aspect and get the point across with the examples. if you intended to do more of these they would be very welcome in the Guides & Tutorials forum. cheers.

i'd say: - let people post their entries in the thread if they want - let people discuss the posted mixes before the voting stage if they want the fewer rules, the better. compos are a community thing, let us interact as much as we are willing.

does it ?

that must be some good crack you're on to think that Fruity Loops is cross-platform. but if you're looking specifically for Reason project files, i think Rayza and SGX released some. go ask them about it. for FL project files, you can try checking out the FL compo.. i think they share the .flp files or something. Protricity released some of his tracker files a long time ago, but i wouldn't know where to start on finding them.

last place again, this is the 'new' analoq :3 no comments this time though? drag. props to Nuts & Chrono -- i hope to play with you guys again next time.

i've been wanting to release the project files for my stuff but pretty much nobody uses Logic. now that i have Live, though, i will probably put something out eventually. most of my work is (perhaps deceptively) minimalist, so my tunes could be adapted for this purpose without too much difficulty. i did however make some General MIDI adaptations a few years back: - aquacadence SMB3 Underwater orchestral arrangement (original) - final fanta legends Final Fantasy Legends piano arrangement (remastered original) - sonik azure Sonic3 Azure Lake bisexual remix. guitar parts transcribed as well. (original) cheers.

256kbps AAC is good enough for archival purposes. the primary reason you'd want to degrade the quality is so you can cram more music onto your portables.. in which case you're after quantity, not quality -- so cross-encoding would suit this purpose fine. even so, with the cost of flash/HD storage is going down that probably won't even be worthwhile for most. i maintain that lossless downloads are of limited benefit. no, i did not speak of repurchasing music, i spoke of upgrading. iTunes will allow you to upgrade your music for $0.30 each to the hi-fi non-DRM format. that's pretty far from robbery.
