Dear God... I'm in shock. Post here more, please - we don't get that sort of entertainment often, here.

Reason 4 sucks, an unbiased review.
Gario replied to Siamey's topic in Music Composition & Production
Insert irony here. I'm still stuck with Reason 3.0, though... sadness. -
finished Unreal / Deus Ex style single
Gario replied to AlexBrandon's topic in Post Your Original Music!
lol, for those that are saying this sounds like Unreal/Deus Ex, that's because this guy composed the music for those games. Great to see you here in our community! I'm thinking Deus Ex a lot, with this one. The oldschool synths that you're using, along with the ambient feel really evokes that, for me. Yeah, it sounds great, even if the sound is a little dated (I believe you were going for that, so woot). I almost missed this, simply because I don't check out Originals often enough. Thanks for the music - it's made my day! -
wip So I'm new to OC Remix....could someone critiqe this?
Gario replied to treevore's topic in Post Your Original Music!
Alright, I left some comments on there for you. I post there periodically, so I know the joys/woes of Newgrounds posting. Also, feel free to post stuff here via using a host to post the music from rather than Newgrounds/Youtube, since those sites are notorious for lowering the quality of sound. Oh yeah, and welcome to OCR -
17/18, for me, at 24. Sadness.

I was going to point that out. Thanks for the vids, people - 1 - 5 - 6 - 4 are totally in, dudes.

You can try to contact the obvious choices, although I'm not sure how well that'll turn out (Neko is away in the military, atm; Sixto has more project songs than Jesus has followers, and Fishy is heading his own project, atm). Cyril the Wolf, LuketheXjesse and Jabond23 might be willing to give it a shot - you can go send them a PM or something. Worth a shot, at least There are others on here, too, so send out the bottled message that you need some help and someone will likely respond...

*Summons Rozovian* Not all untrained people produce crap, when adding new parts (or even significantly changing the key or whatnot). Theory isn't actually required for someone to make a good song, or to paraphrase Milton Babbit, "Theory isn't Composition". Meh, I won't worry about the theory, too much - it'd be best to focus on the remix at hand than get into a theory debate (and probably more helpful to Black Panther, anyhow).

Tough theme to take on. Kudos for the effort It's actually not bad at all, though. The bass aggravates me to no end with that portamento. Do it periodically for effect, if you must, but don't do it for every single note change. You flood the listener with the sound enough it won't have an effect anymore. The drums need to be beefed out (namely the bass). They don't stand out, as they are, and in a track like this they should be very prominent. I like the direction you took this - a more ambient effect, yet with some flavor. The late source theme isn't bad at all. However, I would recommend playing with the idea of introducing it earlier at least in pieces, just to prep the listener for it a little better. It might inspire you to take the song in another direction, as well. The guitar sounds... not so good (thin, in particular). I'm sure you know that, though, so do what you gotta do to fix it. Yeah, the key really packs a punch, in this song (I normally don't go into 'key' theory, but it works well, here). Just use your ear and judgment, when it comes to taking it in other directions. You can raise the 2nd if you want some tasty flavor added to the riff... Yeah, good luck with this

Amazing thread. HOWEVER, you guys are missing one of the biggest freeware games out there. UFO2000 It's X-com. It's multiplayer (LAN/internet support). it's fucking X-com. It's legally free. Did I mention it's X-com? It's preferable to get this with the original game & TotD on your computer (since it rips the graphics for them if you have it), but it can run on it's own, as well. No mind control, though. Here's another freeware game that's based off of X-com, and it looks pretty good. I've never been able to play it, since my stupid comp won't take it out of windowed mode and you need fullscreen so you can scroll the maps with the mouse. Meh. UFOAI Enjoy

Mmm... forum flood. I actually tried to listen to Ryu's theme, but that link was broken. For something like this, I agree that posting this as an 'album' would've been the wise choice. Of course, I also understand why you did it the way you did (the rules do say to post one song per thread, in order to prevent possible reviewers from being intimidated to review and such), so yeah... now you know Midi rip, bleh. You already know, so let's move on. The production is a little shallow, while getting muddy at 0:24 & 0:31. The production needs to fill out for the most part (giving the ears something more to grab, overall), and balance out some of the parts when it starts muddying up. Using the sample drum loop over and over again is like . It's not a bad beat, but it just stays the same, all the way through the music. If/when you make your next mix, remember the mix the drums up a bit.Meh, yeah, nothing special. I don't have anything against midi rips, personally, but they'll never be anything spectacular, either. I'll be listening for more remixes from you though. Oh, and double/triple posting is looked down upon, around here. Try responding to everyone in a single post next time Good luck with your music!!

Bionic Commando ReMixed: OK, We'll Groove - History
Gario replied to Brandon Strader's topic in Projects
Yeah, it's open. PM Willrock or John with a WIP track and see if they can hook you up. -
AMT - *Points get!*
-
Here's one that I had no clue sounded like something else. I mean, my brother pointed it out and I actually argued about it, saying I didn't rip it off of another game. Silly me. 10 point to whomever guesses what VG track this sounds like .
-
Yeah, it happens. Don't worry about it - just give Just64helpin some love, this time around
-
Alas... Here's hoping for a better ORC 131 (when I win ORC 130, of course ). And a nice turnout for Just64helping, too. Nice mix, by the way

Potential OCR Meetup: Six Flags America (MD/DC/VA)
Gario replied to Arrow's topic in General Discussion
Dammit, all the meetups are on the east coast. I thought you were talking about Six flags Cali, which I would've been all over. Shame - have fun, anyway. -
If you do that, turn off the sustain that's on two of the channels. Don't want you to be dealing with that for too long
-
One day left - here's hoping I'm surprised by a flood of remixes . Looking forward to each one proposed . I'm not worried, since most people tend to get their mixes in on the last day. Well, except for JerryTerry.

I saw your titles and figured this was what DJP was doing with you guys. It's great that he did this (and that you agreed to this) - a middle point between WIP feedback and the J's will prove to be useful for everyone here. I'm also glad you emphasized that it's a middle point, so people won't be too disappointed to see a mix rejected when the WIP mods said it was OK. Don't want you guys to get any flak from people when you're doing them a voluntary service. Good luck out on the field of WIP battle.

It's weird to post in a thread where the birthday man isn't posted by you, Coop. It works, though. Happy birthday!
-
I trust you, Pu_Freak... besides, I'm not comparing myself to Sixto. Ever. Yeah, I'll almost certainly work on a track for Crystal Snail, if it doesn't get taken in the next month or so.

If I find my midi writing program, I'll do it for you. If I find my midi writing program. Dammit, it was with me a week ago, and it suddenly disappeared again...
