DusK

Love ya, Gario, but I've gotta go with... er, actually it's your birthday, so Gario it is.

She, uh, helped me with a question recently.

Yaaaaaaay birthdays!

Sweeeeet! Done. I also should probably take this moment to remind everyone that the direction we're taking this album is extremely aggressive and high energy, with a futuristic aesthetic to the music. Try to keep that in mind when working on your remixes, especially the stage themes and bosses. We're alright with slowing it down a bit for sources that aren't stages or bosses, but if you're mixing something that's got some pump to it, try to put some pump in your mix as well.

Try sending it to another channel with compression cranked in addition to wherever you normally route your snare to, and set that other channel's volume to taste; lower will give it more "meat" and sustain, and lower will make the sound more "poppy" at the beginning.

I really really shouldn't, considering I'm taking part in several projects and co-directing one as well, but if this goes ahead, I might be inclined to bring the heavy.

I could see that happening.

This is one of a very small number of remixes that I freaking love while having never heard the source track. I've known Dj Mokram works wonders with world instruments since we made "Zenpyo!" together, but with this track, there's really no doubt that this guy knows how to make remixes that are so different from what we normally see in VGM remixing, and it's all the more awesome for it.

I'll likely do what I did last year for E3; tune in for Nintendo's conference, then watch lazily as various sites report on the rest. Honestly, the Wii U's the only thing coming out of E3 that I'm really interested in. There are a few games I'm looking out for, but I'll just watch vids on YouTube in a week or so.

Seriously, SpiDoL, what you're asking for is for OC ReMix to be just as intolerant of other worldviews as you are. I really don't think that's gonna happen. Thankfully. I can't imagine this place being run by bigots. That would suck. Actually, I might be wrong on this, but I think the top management of this site consists of those oh-so-awful atheists that you refuse to coexist with. Sorry, but this place is filled with a lot of different artists and fans of different creeds and calls. And as a tolerant Christian, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Did any of these artists put pieces in for the official SF25th Art Tribute hosted by Capcom? Have any of these people received word that they're in the artbook? It'd be really cool to know, just so I could get a sneak peek at what's to come. I really liked a lot of the art in that tribute. I used Kurasato's Fei Long art for a while on my Facebook page while I was reppin' Fei in the WWRR. A lot of really awesome pieces on that site of yours.

This can't be real.

I'm sitting on a Bastion Steam key and I don't know who to give it to, so I'll make this fun: First person to PM me and tell me what their favorite DusK remix is will get the key.

I just said it's common courtesy, the sort of thing you'd expect in this day and age. Paraphrasing, of course. I too sometimes wonder if all of my submissions went through, considering the song they chose for the remix CD.

This was mentioned on the Capcom-Unity forums, and then some forum-goer was all like "they don't have to give you anything" or something like that when Bonkers brought it up.

They've been pretty cool dealing with me, definitely. Which says a lot, because I've been asking a ton of questions. Whoever is on their side answering this stuff must be crazy patient.

Profetik. I dunno.

I get the feeling that some people hate Capcom.

Man, I am derpin' hard this week. My fault for skimming, I guess.

Wasn't it Bethesda vs. Mojang? Anyway, I don't know a whole lot about the subject, but for uneducated noobs like me, there's Wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_infringement I think you're in the clear, considering the two "products or services" in question are nothing alike. Don't quote me on that though; that's just the gist I'm getting from this.If anything, forwarding him off to a lawyer you know (if you know one) as your "legal counsel" and letting him school this guy might get him off your back.

This is a really good way of putting it.

I'm hoping Kenji Yamamoto keeps to his word. I'd love to see more Hard Corps games.

Yeah, by putting in the Konami code during the first stage's loading screen. Fun stuff, that.

Man, I could totally rock up Black Soup. That wouldn't really fit in with this project though, would it.

Pretty much.
