  1. I dislike a lot of the mundane things that aren't actually composition, for instance I recently converted all of my .sf2's and .dwp's to .xrni, or just going through samples in general. you can download thousands and thousands of sounds these days but it's also kind of a distraction when you have to decide which are worth using

  2. Unfortunately I missed it too. I used to come home from school way back in the day and run into my parents bedroom to watch it. I watched it all the way back in the day when it showed Robotech (please tell me that happened. I mention it to friends all the time but they don't ever remember it being on so I question my sanity).

    It even made me want to be a jet fighter pilot when I grow up (abandoned that plan for pharmacy though).

    Toonami was a seriously cool block or programs. I might just have to get a twitter account so I can show my support :?

    Robotech was waaaay back in the day, I barely remember it but yeah, you're not insane

  3. Ok, I really have been looking for this game for months now, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in the state of Maryland.

    I think I heard it's getting a reprint, looked interesting to me so looking forward to that

  4. I'm saying this because I, like other newcomers onto the scene, can be very easily discouraged. Seriously, it's come to the point where even listening to good remixes makes me feel so small, like I can't do a thing. You have that awful feeling where you know exactly what you're capable of, and practically everything is limiting you — finances, listenership, experience. I can consider myself lucky to have a full copy of FL Studio 10, because a friend gave it to me as a gift. Some people don't even get halfway where I do by eight months, possibly even longer.

    People have done good things with less, there are some things on this site that were made with freeware like modplug even. Don't focus too much on tools, it's nice if you can buy a lot of toys but it's definitely not a necessity.

    Anyway, it's easy to get frustrated if you set your immediate goals too high, or for that matter if you're only really trying to appease others(the judges panel, listeners, whoever). It's easier to stay motivated if you can find enjoyment simply in composing and making incremental improvements.

  5. That's reasonable and I could understand it, I guess it's just the incredibly condescending tone of it that makes it come off like

    "how dare people have superficial fun!"

    This line especially reeks of a seething hatred of others music that goes beyond simply not want his own music fucked with

    "ANYTHING club related. which fortunately for the world *rolls eyes* makes up for 99% of the “electronic music” fad that’s apparently considered mainstream now."

  6. I don't understand the message he's trying to convey here. Is he saying it's wrong to make music just for the fun of it?

    Pretty much what I got out of it.

    At some point years ago I'd probably have been one of the people praising this, thankfully I got through puberty and grew the fuck up.

    kind of

  7. I have a sansa clip and it is just drag n drop, I had another cheapo mp3 player that I drowned that was also drag n drop.

    The one time I tried to install itunes my sound card disappeared somehow and I had to do a system restore, never again apple, never again.

  8. Harmonies are really hard for me but I don't even really try to transcribe melodies, I'll frequently be playing around on my keyboard and suddenly be playing something familiar without realizing it, I don't think it's that difficult

    For things that do take more work I'll usually just load the song in question into FL and try to play alongside it with a sine wave, it's pretty easy to tell when you have the right notes that way

  9. I fully agree with you on this.

    I tell my friends about how great this website is because of how much great music is on here. Being told to like this website or I can't listen to it's music anymore is just wrong

    Too bad, Larry and pretzel are going to come to your house and destroy your hard drive so you can't listen to all the OCR music you've downloaded again if you don't like OCR on facebook

  10. Your argument is immediately nullified by the fact that the album will not be available only to those who liked OCR on Facebook, but to everyone. If OCR only cared about Facebook, the album would be exclusive to Facebook fans only.

    Wouldn't be surprised if an album did this in the not so distant future. And that's not even me being cynical about OCR, just facebook itself. Everything is whored through social media these days, everything. Can't say that I like it but it does show OCR's willingness to evolve, no one regularly visits websites anymore, they just follow on social media. A lot of other late 90s sites are dying off because they wouldn't adapt to this era, have to do what you have to do
