yyyyeeeeessssssssss
so cool

The triple red shell is literally the best item pickup in the game now.The length of time it takes to regain control of your vehicle after a hit is really irritating -
See, the cool thing about horns are their wide timbral spectrum. The variety of tones allows for an incredibly expressive performance; it's why we often have horn leads. Synthesizer leads generally strive for the same kind of effect - heck even guitarists go for a squeal at the peak of their solo.If I were to put my finger on it:Tenor sax has this narrow confine between tone and squeal that soloists feel that they must use the squeal as the peak of their riff. Maybe it's cliched or maybe it's simply unpleasant to listen to.
Trumpets can be awesome if they are played softly. But that is not the point of a solo, apparently. That is probably another problem with the tenor sax and the alto sax.
Baritone and bass sax solos can be quite okay. Many of those soloists don't use the cliches of the tenor and alto sax, using the reedy harmonics of the lower notes to really carry their solos.
Trombones rarely get solos and maybe that is a good thing.
Not that this text is going to change your mind or anything.

Edit: is there anyone else who loathes horn solos in jazz? Wood or brass, the only solo wind I can stand is flute.10char

Yeah, that was incredible. Some of the best OCR jazz I've heard.
btw, nice keys, kit and arrangement Wiesty, you're a talented guy.

Same with my brother and me.Smash Run is going to be amazing.The sheer amount of time Nabeel and I sunk into City Trial back during the hey-day of Kirby Air Ride is absurd. The City Trial gameplay style is so fun and quick. So happy to see it being revived in Smash.
Shit, that's brought it all back, that was such a good game mode.

why don't you design your own waveforms in another program such as spear, then stick 'em in whatever chip software/hardware you have in mind?
Alternatively, you could always sample off milkytracker and load it into your DAW's sampler, as that's all mt does anyway.

Yep, me too.am i the only one who mistook this thread at first to mean graylightning had returned???i'm clearly a bit out of touch with FF stuffs

Now do tritone substitutions, go go.

No, you'd softmod it.I think Wii is great but it has 1 flaw... where you could, even today, get a PS2 and hook it up to a TV to watch DVDs or listen to music, if you wanted to do that with a Wii you would need to bring the sensor bar and the motion controls. -

Yeah, I prefer early Anamanaguchi too, there was something kinda rough and 'punk' about it.I liked the first Anamanaguchi album more than the rest because it felt simpler, not so bogged down in production. -
Yeah, it's probably the best VST chip solution, pretty convincing.Bumping this thread for a question:I've used NES VST and Magical 8 bit some, and they're a heck of a lot easier than Famitracker, but I'm a little anal about my plugins. How much would I gain in getting Plogue Chipsounds over using some of the free plugins out there? Is it worth the cash? Cuz I got cash and a need for excellently sampled chips.
-
It's perfect; an innovative blend of jazz harmony, funk rhythms, prog phrasing and pop melodies.You beat me to it. This is the best chip album I've ever heard, and I've been listening to tons of chip music since 2006.I hate listening to it. I can't music like him.
-
I don't know an Amiga sequencer to be honest- heck, I don't know a MOD sequencer, only trackers.Wait you're serious, that album was tracked?Holy shit fuck whaaat

I know, but I really don't think it's necessary (at all) for understanding music theory. There's a lot of symbology and needless formality to trawl through when learning theory through score alone. I've done the royal school of music grade system; it's bloated by historical practices and traditions.It really depends on what you learned first. I learned to read staff music at the age of 8 and I never saw a piano roll until I was in my 20s. No matter what, I always feel a lot more comfortable working with notation compared to the piano roll. -
Score is basically musical shorthand and can be a needless confusion if you're just after learning practical music theory. The piano roll makes intervals obvious and identifying keys, chords and patterns much simpler, thanks to its intuitive, visual format.Music Theory is the most intuitive when the concepts are demonstrated on the staff. The piano roll displays things in raw pitches (I can make another post detailing all the things you will miss out on by learning it this way, if you'd like); intervals are not as obvious for example, and harmonic analysis, which is really important for understanding key modulations and accidentals, the real meat of writing interesting music, becomes way harder. In my personal opinion, learning music theory as its own discipline instead of as something directly connected to what you're doing in the DAW makes learning it much easier.Try modulating a semitone from C to C# on score and modulating a semitone in MIDI and tell me which is easier.

You definitely missed the point.You missed the point completely. -
I stopped watching after Karen Gillan.

I've noticed you can't have a 'HandJob', but you can have a Hand-Job'.Can't write:- dirty
- beaver
- shazam (yeah)
- tucker
- and a whole bunch I can't recall
But you can say snatch ;P
-
Anyone else seeing what dirty names they can slip pass the filter?
-
Though at that stage, if you could fully comprehend just how bad you really were, you'd never write anything.IYou absolutely cannot go into anything thinking you're the shit -
Oh hell no.It's cool to hear that wind waker HD has at least some motion controls.

btw anyone looking to get more into chiptune style synths, it's incredibly easy to do using an Arduino and PWM type stuff.
