  1. Piano sounds wondeful. This is pretty soaked in reverb, yet not enough for it to be a massive problem. However, the soundscape could have been as full with a little less. Awesomely emotional, very nostalgic, I dig it!
  2. Kyle is my BRO. Also, for anyone wanting a sneak peak at the title track... https://soundcloud.com/ubiktune/willrock-welcome-to-the-real
  3. As someone who gets it pretty badly... this. Practice like your life depends on it. Also, make sure that you record yourself playing because one thing i've noticed is that when I've done a performance, I think i've done TERRIBLE, and I look back at the recording and it sounds great. I've found that when I panic, I seem to alternate to "safe mode" and instinctively simplify my playing, but as long as you don't make a mistake you can rock it and end up golden regardless.
  4. Mine is coming. I enlisted DaMonz to help me out with this and between us have done some badass synth wankage. Sorry about the wait Darke! Its just a matter of adding the final touches now.
  5. *poof* Speak his name and he shall appear! April 2014 is impossible, you're right about that. I've already spoken to Damned about it. If he wants to weigh in here he can, since he is a co-director... From the tone of his PM to me, he wasn't going to be taking a large part of the album directing from this point on, but i'll let him come in and sort out his role here, since i'm not 100% sure at this point. If Damned doesn't want to do this, I'm going to do what I did with 9-Bit Blitzkrieg, which is set a final deadline and sent out PMs on OCR/Facebook/IRC etc every few weeks to people. That worked fantastically. Damned, need you in here if you want me to take full control of this thing. Your call. Btw guys, feel free to badger me like assholes if it gets me out of cryosleep. Every now and then I might miss a message or two but I try to respond to every one I get.
  6. Happy Birthday dewd!

  7. Yeah, I'm looking into buying this: http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Choirs It looks really cool, and based on what i've heard its a fantastic piece of kit to have in your arsenal of musiking. However - I am seeing mixed results from people about it being buggy, hard to install, hard to use, blahblahblah. So I'm wondering if this thing is worth the investment or if I should leave it alone for now if its lacking in stability. Any help you guys can give me is greatly appreciated
  8. That's awesome dude! Glad that shirt was useful for ya :D

  10. U gotta find urself a better collab partner amirite or amirite JK Happy Birthday man!

  12. YOU GUYS!!!!! <3 I just don't have the time I really legit don't. Also, ff-hate bias etcetc
  13. Yeah I can dig this. Nice arrangement of a rather tricky source tune. The production is good! Reasonably clean and punchy, but there are quite a few nitpicks here that could really boost this. Overall the production is a little flat due to compression. There is also a distinct lack of bass here (with the exception of the kick) and the guitar is a bit too overpowering and loud when power chording its way through the track, which makes parts when its not as prominent with the chords quite empty in comparison (1:05). It also seems to push other instruments aside which makes for a slightly muddy soundscape when you've got these other instruments fighting for some leg room. However, slightly loud guitars and slight lack of bass imo don't counteract a pretty awesome arrangement, even tho this is cutting it just a bit close for me. Nice work guys! YES
  14. These days, with the internet being a big factor of success, and that there is a certain degree of anonymity to that, I'd say age doesn't have such a big factor these days. Also, Grant Kirkhope was in his 30s when he was recruited to Rare. Its easy to put yourself down by saying "oh i'm 15/23/35, I should have become famous by now" or something along those lines, but if you want to truly become good and notable for something, it takes hard work, dedication, time, and honestly, a degree of maturity that comes with age. I wouldn't think there is anything to worry about.
  15. I'd offer, but my project directing credentials aren't exactly impressive If this does go ahead, I'm so on this tho, Batman's game music is fucking incredible.
  16. Hey guys great idea, since we are selling out, lets charge $1 per remix download. Lets charge $5 to submit to OCR, and $10 for in-depth badass jooj feedback while we're at it :D:D:D:D Seriously tho - Yep. The free music shall always be here. OCR'll still be doing it's thing for years. One commercial album ain't going to change the world. Sorry you don't agree with this dude, but we'll keep on doing lots of free stuff i'm sure you'll love after this, so hopefully you'll forgive us
  17. Fredrikd offically wins at life for his track. The whole album is damn awesome btw, love it to bits, and well worth the money
  18. I'd just like to point out here that some judges stopwatch tracks to the 50% VERY rigidly, so make sure that it is over 50%. Not 48%. And thats a minimum. I'd shoot for 50% if you want a good chance with source usage
  19. ^^^^^^^^^ This man speaks truths. More than 2 discs an album is too much for me, this is an ideal length for an album imo. Nice work guys, this album turned out pretty cool
  20. Happy Birthday to one of the most helpful WIP forum guys OCR has ever seen
  21. No responses? Come on guys this is HALC AND TUBERZ. TIS AWESOMEZ. Seriously guys, they've hit serious 8-bit roots here. Anyone who likes chiptunes (all of you) should download this. NOW. Get on it bros, its epic
  22. Nice job guys, trailer looks great! Sorry I dropped the ball on this, but i'm glad brandon got it out of the mud, thanks dude
  23. Its a constant process for me. There isn't a single moment. Probably the biggest turning point overall tho... was anger actually lmao. To cut a long story short, someone basically told me my music sucked... so I made this remix - http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02135/ - as kind of a "fuck you" to that person Yes i'm a prideful arrogant son of a bitch who will end you if you decide to say ANYTHING negative XD That was a "turning point" - but i'm always improving.
