Dj Mokram

I've been making my own samples for some time, and have build a personal sample-bank over the years. But I've never actually thought of creating a Virtual Instrument. Meanwhile, I've gotten used to the ease of VSTi, compared to say, the tedious and old-fashioned task of importing each audio sample one by one into a sequencer. Plus, no matter how good algorithms are, pitch-bend clearly isn't as practical and precise as having each note assigned to a velocity sensitive key. Very good idea you had here Harmony. I'll research on how to create a kontakt library. This should be a great opportunity to learn something useful.

Hey Arc, It really depends on what samples you're using, and what result you're hoping to achieve. Some effects will work well with some instruments, and not with others. I'm not a pro by all means, but here are some things that I use: -distortion/overdrive on drums for a cool dirty effect. -large room reverb and EQ tweaks on strings or woodwinds, to give them presence. -high-pass on guitar and low-pass filter on bass, plus fuzz on both to add some character. -mutli-tap delay/echo for piano or synth to give an eerie, more ambient-building sound. -mix two or three different sounds/samples on the same note to create a new customized one. Then again, it works for me on samples that I know well. The more you work with your samples, the more you know them and can determine what to apply to get desired result.

The trailer by Jose is stellar, and the preview sounds fantastic. I'm holding off on hearing more till the listening party... the wait is excruciating though.

Since I tend to tune in on RTS-live when I come back home, I'll have to agree with Dyne. Plus, even if some folks already have listened to it, that's still great to have the world premiere of an entire OCR album on a live radio show.

Guess I'll join the fun: AspireOneA110 on UbuntuNetbookremix+LMMS+KorgNanokey+ZalmanDS4F. My ultra-portable (yet ultra-incompetent) secondary DAW, to make some quick audio sketches anywhere. And at night, because it's almost always the only time when I (can) make music.

Thanks. I take your suggestion on timpanis and orchestral percussion in general. Though the lack of 'driving force' may come from the fact that I want an emphasis on the slow building, rather than on a boombastic and epic holywood trailer. Haven't played or listened to Megaman X6 in ages. This one works too. I dropped v5 mainly because many suggested the drum parts were inadequate in most instances. And since the mix wasn't that cohesive to begin with, I figured I should try another way around, instead of over-tweaking everything. But like I said regarding the previous comment, I'm not necessarily going for more epicness. I'm thankful for the feedback though.

Final Fantasy Tactics A4: Roughly the Size of a Paper Sheet And how about then. Gotta love the new limit breaks....ah, wait, you're listing music now?

Congratulations Brad! I don't own an iphone, but I wish you and RPNi a bright future. Hope you can make many more games and many more game music too.

Just found someone named Lacope0 apparently did a guitar cover of this song! Funny that Yasuhiro Ichihashi, who composed the soundtrack along with Michiru Yamane, and did the other OoE arrangements, somehow forgot to do this one... Anyway, it's a pretty good cover, so enjoy: ....and watch out for the special ending.

Yes of course. After all, this project was born for the fans that have been waiting Dynamite Headdy remixes for ages. I trust you'll work fast, and be done ages before the album is out.

It's ok Will, the version you have is the normal one. So you're not missing on anything here. The short version is just the part from 0:35 to 1:00 looped for some events in the game.

Yup, that's correct sir. Though you've never mentioned if you were going for the 'short' version or the normal one?

Thanks to everyone who joined for their support! Only 4 tracks left to claim. Post here or PM me if you want to help the project.

UPDATE v6: Check it on the first post! Haven't updated in ages, so here goes something new. Thanks to Willrock, Rozo & Gario for the precious feedback. I've cut a lot of material, replaced some parts, kept the essential. Now it's a bit different, but still quite the same. Getting closer to the epic feeling of Megaman starting a new journey. Enjoy & critique to your heart's content.

Haven't noticed the thread before, oopps. Hope you had a good one Starlol. Keep the awesome music with awesome vocals coming! And thanks for bringing the equally awesome OHC.

Great achievment Stevo. Good for you.

Don't sweat it, you've just finished a new album. We get it, you're in shock. Just pull yourself together, take a deep breath and... tell me you're kidding, right?

I concur. Isn't easy for us to be in a party mood when it begins at 6am.

Tom Salta - Silver Horizon (from H.A.W.X. original game soundtrack)

You know what's really really awesome about this: someone finally realized it was time to move away from big 10 dvd sets with awful iLok. => 80gb hard drive pre-loaded with kontakt and Morphestra library. Now that is the future! Just give me 5 more years to gather enough knowledge and money to justify getting it... while everyone has moved to something else.

ilp0: You did justice to the Rockman soundtrack. You gave me my childhood back. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you for making this great album and sharing it with everyone.

Great news, thanks for sharing Dan. That should ease everyone's mind for sure. Well it's up to the good people on the internet and the media that will review it. If there's demand for it, and if some sponsors help them, the other episodes might follow. In other terms: spread the word about MGSP, so they can make other awesome movies like this!
