    Creative E-MU 1212m PCIe

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    I am looking at buying an E-MU 1212m PCIe card. I've run into two issues. One, I'm from Canada and their online store doesn't ship here. Two, I've contacted my local reseller and they are saying that the card has been discontinued. Thought I'd ask if anyone else has heard that? I've contacted Creative for support, they say their response time is 2-3 days, so I thought I'd check here. Thanks all.

    Here is a link to the card on their site. http://us.store.creative.com/EMU-1212M-PCIe-Audio-Interface/M/B002VDMUQ6.htm

    Duke Nukem Acoustic Remix

    Thanks mak. I know I won't be able to satisfy everyone, but I was trying to create an intimate guitar piece that quickly fades into a little something a little more punchier. Not using any other instruments is deliberate. I did mess around with some piano early in the song, but it just didn't work.

    Hi,

    I actually had sent this simple acoustic ReMix to OCR submissions back on September 7. Given the long queue in the inbox, I thought I would start up a thread here for some feedback. If there's anything to be fixed, I could probably fix it before it's even downloaded for review. :)

    Didn't really work on practicing this song too long, maybe a week. This recording came out pretty nice on the first attempt, so I added some reverb and did some minor EQ and gate adjustments. Sadly, the pickup in my acoustic is busted right now, so I wound up just recording one mic'ed up track. My original intention was to record two tracks to make the sound a little more full. I was happy with how it turned out, anyway, so I figured I would just submit it.

    Looking to Collaborate (I Play Elec. Rhythm & Lead)

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Hi,

    I'm looking to collaborate on a ReMix, if anyone is interested in a guitarist. I don't have any published ReMixes, although I am working on a few.

    I would like to offer electric rhythm or lead. I have a PreSonus AudioBox USB. I made a few recordings tonight featuring the following:

    • Chrono Trigger - To Good Friends
    • Space Quest - Various Themes
    • Leisure Suit Larry - Theme
    • Street Fighter II - Ken's Theme
    • Final Fantasy I - Mayota's Cave Improvisation
    • Doom and Doom II - Various Themes
    • Asturias (Leyenda)

    You can listen to the songs on my blog at http://lagged.ca/blog/2010/03/some-video-game-music/ or visit the following links to download the MP3s:

    You can also check out the other entries on my blog for some other recordings. Keep in mind that I'll polish up any real recordings. :)

    I recently ordered a new acoustic guitar, so eventually I should be able to record some samples of me playing.

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum to request this. If not, please kindly let me know where I should be posting this.

    Thanks all.

    FF6 - Shadow's Theme (WIP)

    Thanks for the feedback halc!

    I've recently purchased a synthetic skin bodhrán, I was thinking of maybe recording a slow roll, but I haven't had a chance to mic it up. Might not fit the song. :)

    I've been working out a bit of the piano melody that I would and have already tweaked the guitar parts a little bit. I'm still trying to find a nice segue from my additions into the main song.

    I could try throwing some strings in there, thanks for suggestion.

    FF6 - Shadow's Theme (WIP)

    Hi all,

    I would like to post the intro of a ReMix I'm working on. It's virtually unrecognizable right now, save for the opening chords.

    https://sites.google.com/a/lagged.ca/music/Home/Shadow_ReMix.mp3

    I actually intend on finishing this in 2010, but I wanted to get some preliminary work done, in the event I forget my arrangement. I've recorded the guitar parts using my electric guitar, but I'm planning on buying a new acoustic and mic. I'll be re-recording most of this, since the style of the song will make more sense on an acoustic.

    Also, I did not intend to write a lead intro until this evening when I was just tinkering around and became inspired to do so. I may keep this part electric, maybe even add some distortion.

    The main melody will actually be played on a piano (higher than the original version) with the strummed chords on the acoustic falling to the background, no pick.

    As you will notice, I have moved up to B minor. I accomplished this with the help of a capo on the 7th fret of my guitar.

    I am struggling with the decision if I should include other instruments. I don't plan on adding a percussion track, in the hopes it will make the song more intimate.

    My inspirations for this song are lonlonjp, Simon & Garfunkel, and the OC ReMix Dark World Ballad.

    Thanks for listening, any feedback is welcomed.

    World of Warcraft ReMix (WIP)

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Hi all,

    I'm working on an orchestral medley that will interpret elements of the themes from World of Warcraft. Primarily, it will be a remix of the main theme which is first heard on the soundtrack in the track titled 'A Call to Arms'. The file I'm posting below is only a few hours old, but I wanted to get some feedback as I am somewhat new to the scene. I did some MOD/S3M/IT composition a while back, but nothing ever noteworthy (no pun intended).

    Please listen to the intro I have completed and provide feedback/encouragement, etc. Thanks for listening. :)

    Edit: No changes to the mix, but wanted to add a link to an MP3 version.
