It's impossible to not die. It's impossible.

You have a higher ranking than me in HL2stats. You're good enough. But if you ever change your mind, try expert mode in offline practice. Bots are pretty smart. Don't be an obvious spy, they can tell if you do. Stuff like that.

I would suggest saving that to an FL template because it's a nightmare unless you've done it a metric ton of times. Or maybe save it as a channel preset.

Since you're not an official OCR project you can just sub whatever remixes on there you want on OCR. I am not speaking on behalf of the staff, I'm repeating what DarkeSword just said a few posts ago. >_<

The judges aren't genre biased. Watch the internet. Half says it hates techno, half says it hates any and all live instruments. The other half can't do math.

ditto, though I never realized it was an earthquake till I checked the news.

My computer (my pride and joy custom rig) was shakin on the table. Wasn't worried because the case is durable black steel. My first earthquake. I was sorely disappointed at the lack of fear.

Good to hear someone loved that one because I haven't been getting many comments on it at all next to my Blackout Tower and my rounds 1 and 2 mixes. I worked hard on that guitar mixing. D:

On the other hand I could just PLAY WITH my friend. He's an expert at Star Craft II, studies tournaments and can murder the A.I. on any difficulty. He taught me micro management and now he's coaching me so I can refine it and do it more effortlessly.

Good idea! Thanks!

Who said I wasn't gonna buy it?

http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/g19-abstrakt-bass/ This sounds SICK. $15. Bass library, synths and such.

Some trial. Only lets me fight an A.I. on easy mode.

Do not buy Kontakt if you're willing to pay full price, that's just an awful investment. Go up to Komplete to get the synthesizers that you want in addition to also being able to get Emotional Piano and other awesome sample libraries. As for a synth other than Native Instruments' flagships, Zebra 2 is very powerful, though it's $200. The total value of getting Zebra and Kontakt is much much MUCH less than buying the Komplete tank, so if you want synths, get komplete. Don't bother paying $560 either. Buy it for $500 on amazon or something. Buying from Native Instruments web site is borderline wallet torture unless they have their 50% off every single thing except Komplete black friday sale.

You're kind of misunderstanding here. Kontakt is a software sampler. Komplete is a bundle of different products and it includes Kontakt with some other stuff that works in Kontakt. If you want synthesizers, buy Komplete, sure, but don't expect to be using Kontakt at all. The sampled synths in there are kind of crap, only a few good patches. Stuff like Massive, Reaktor, Absynth, and FM8 are the synthesizers that come included in Komplete. But they aren't any way related to Kontakt. There's only one version of Kontakt you can buy. That's Kontakt 4, soon to be Kontakt 5. It comes with a decent stock library, but at $400 you're better off buying Komplete and getting all the stuff that ISN'T Kontakt related. You said you're lacking decent synthesizers; Kontakt isn't what you're looking for. Ultimate edition is just more sample libraries for Kontakt, which isn't what you're lookin for. You want synths.

I was ten when I started making music, and made a few OCRejects along the way to my current age, 15. I got posted a few months ago with a mix I made when I was 14 in august last year. Took almost a whole year to get posted from time of submission. :/

Green > Blue

Holy crap that is a good deal. I would jump on it if I didn't already have a GTX 460 and if I wasn't saving up for something else.

No, he shouldn't be able to figure this out by himself. And don't be so bold as to say that without proof that you were able to create a fully realistic orchestration in Kontakt 4 while "being able to figure all of it out".

Uh... what's going on with this? Phase 2 hasn't started yet? So I shouldn't start my mix or what?

bLiNd is making a jrpg soundtrack and a lot of personal stuff. He has no time for projects like this. X_X

It works fine for me. This is been happening to some others where a certain person couldn't get them.

That's fine. Though I wouldn't have tried if you specified that in the first post.

Show some proof. Don't post in the thread if you have nothing to offer.

My specialty. Not sure you wanna work with a kid but here's a short 1 minute demo of my stuff. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15510436/File%20Sharing/high%20eng%20electro%20demo.mp3 If you want something like a full arrangement, I'm sure you've heard my GRMRB semi final mix against Will.
