Sorry for the late reply. I was referring to the Glockenspiel.
-
I'm listening to the first set right now. Fucking awesome man.
Can you explain some terminology for me GT?
How do you classify Progressive, Trance, and Uplifting?
What do these terms mean?
-
I heard about this one on the NGI show. I'm going to give it a try. It was great meeting you at MAG Abadoss.
-
Great music from South America.
-
Very cool stuff. I like it.
-
Good vibe. I love horns in hip hop music. post the vocals when someone raps over it, I would love to hear it.
My ears are telling me that those bells are not in tune with everything else. Anyone else agree?
-
I like this. It has a great vibe.
I have one major beef with it. The 8 note repeated phrase (Square wavish sound) goes nowhere. It just keeps repeating. It's really monotonous. I personally think it would sound
great without it. You have so much other interesting stuff going on.
If you are keen to keeping that sound in there, perhaps you could change the melodic phrase or make it into a sixteen note phrase (vary the 8 note phrase and and use different notes from the musical scale).

zOMG! The first OHC of the year is tomorrow. I can't wait. I better not forget.

My awesome moment recaps
1) Watching Metroid Metal. So good!
2) Me dancing to q-pa's set. You were awesome man. I never dance but the music felt tight and I had to.
3) Finding out that I have an addiction to Frogger.
4) Staying up all night and talking with Moguta, Liz, Monobrow, and others at the DoD listening party.
5) The OCAD podcast.
6) Eating at Subway full of OCR people.
7) Meeting all of you fine folks!
Watching Zen Albatross make sweet chiptune music.Stuff that I didn't enjoy
1) From the descriptions of MAGFEST on the site, I was convinced there would be a bass sitting there for me to play. Next year I will bring mine.
2) I had to leave sunday morning.

I can't believe I didn't see this thread. My list ....
Opeth
Mastodon
Lamb of God
Those are my top 3.
Crack the Skye was an incredible album by Mastodon. Probably the best of 2009.
After seeing them last night,
I'll add Metroid Metal to the list.
-
I'm leaving at 10 PM From Grand Rapids, MI and driving through the night. Can't wait to see you all.

$225 cash
A watch
I wanted that $225 to go to a looper pedal so I could play sweet music with myself, but it went to my drive axles on my subaru.
The greatest loot of all however :
Spending time with my family who is still healthy and alive.

I like the live voting idea. My idea is "Live Remix." I'd love to see how other people approach creating a remix. It could be worked on ahead of time or maybe even completely improvised.
-
Congrats to theophany. I'm looking forward to hearing it and sound test's version. I probably won't update my track until Christmas break. Very busy. And then, MAGFEST! YAY!
-
Due to being fortunate or just plain lucky, I started working at a job this week that will help me pay for going to MAGFEST!
I look forward to meeting you all.
-
My goals in no particular order :
1) Participate in PRC and actually remember that OHC is happening on thursday nights at 9 PM eastern. I often forget.
2) Make my own original electronic music album
3) Make looped Bass guitar music
4) Learn to play the guitar better so I can play some screaming leads and rhythmic chords
5) Learn to play keyboard better
6) Work on getting some Project remixes done.
7) Submit a few remixes with the hope of getting them added to this site.
-
I apologize for that. I didn't look at the rules clearly enough before hand.
-
I'm glad OA commented on this, otherwise I never would have listened to this.
All I can say is "Incredible" after listening to this.
-
Showroom, I dug your track. It was unique and creative.
My track is now posted. I went for a Trance approach.
-
I found a side chaining tutorial today after Lukas (Forum name, don't know what his OCR name is) told me that I should try using side chaining on my pads.

I claim Tantangel Castle. I've loved that track ever since I played Dragon Warrior on my NES.
-
The latest PRC has Life Force as one of the sources. I decided it would sound awesome as a trance track.
I think the structure is going to stay where it is. Please give me feedback on how it sounds.
-
Yay, It's thanksgiving week and I have time to work on this. I love the melody of Lifeforce. I had never heard of this game before.
Savagery: My first submission
in Post Your Original Music!

Welcome to OCR!
I like the track. It has great potential. Musically I like it.
Here are some of my observations:
Overall:
The Bass drum seems like it uses too much of the frequency spectrum. This is just my opinion. I think you should use a kick that doesn't have that added sustain. Or possibly reduce the sustain of the kick. Hip Hop Kit 2 has a very good kick in my mind. Mess around with it and see what you think.
I can barely hear the hi hat when it is used. Bring it out a bit.
Some of the instruments compete with each other in the frequency spectrum. Try using EQ on each instrument to get rid of frequencies that compete with each other.
0:02 - 0:18
The Bassline gets buried by the melody line.
0:48 - 1:02
The non bass-line parts are too quiet. Bring them out or bring down the bass-line
1:20 -1:37
There is a pad in here that feels like it isn't going anywhere. You could use automation to change the volume of the pad. Make it grow or make it rise and fall. Or whatever else you think would be awesome.
2nd Half of track
The piano sounds awesome.
