You sir deserve a spanking unlike anything the world has ever seen.
...elaborate :/
Assuming you were talking about what i said about the more recent games in the series... here's the formula for Re4-Re6. Run down hallway/shoot enemy/open door repeat for 20 hours. I liked the games for what they were but they were not RE games.
Part of the problem is that since the games went to a 3rd person over the shoulder action game, the tools/devices that the developers used to generate fear and anxiety in the player had to be thrown away. The early Resident Evil games were great because no matter where their character was facing the player HAD to see the jump scare as it was intended and then watch as the monster closed in as they tried to run away. In RE4+ once you turn your back to anything you are unable to watch it close in on you which leads to back hits that just generate more frustration than fear. Now if the developers took the route that Slender did and tried to trick the players into looking at something before it attacked you, then it would have worked a lot better. In RE2 the tyrant entrances were some of my favorite moments and i can't see them working at all with the current design of the games.
Also, this is probably just a pipe dream but If capcom really wanted to get in good with the fans they would release what was completed for Resident Evil 1.5 as an unlockable in the remake. Somehow it's making its rounds and i have no idea where to get it.

How about an FTL flood?

Loved RE1 and 2 but 2 was definitely my favorite entry in the series. I'm cautiously optimistic about the remake. It would be awesome to see more of RE2 but one thing the series has suffered from was the feeling of being completely lost in a building swarming with monsters while trying to figure out how to use the nonsensical puzzle pieces you have to progress. While RE2 was certainly more linear than the first game if the remake is as bad as the series has been from RE4 on up i'll be disappointed.
Revelations was sort of step in the right direction for the series but no where near what it needed to be for fans of the originals like myself imo.

I tend to recommend the dual-band compressor endorphin as a post-distortion compressor. It really brightens up my drums whenever they are lacking the presence I want them to have. One note I should say though is that if you use both distortion and compression, just be aware that compression affects the strongest harmonics most, and distortion strengthens those strongest harmonics, so using both for the same instrument may come down to thinking more methodically about how you want to go about it (otherwise you might overemphasize the click of the kick, for example).
Not really sure what you mean by "strengthens the strongest harmonics". Saturation brings out weaker harmonics and evens out the overall signal. The more you use the closer you get to noise which has equal energy across all octaves.
-
Ditto to the drum discussion. I almost always lightly saturate the snare and if I split the kick drum I usually saturate the top end of it. Most of the time I'm using the one that came with Sonar but there's a really good one here from Variety of Sound called Tessla SE. I would also recommend their console saturation plugin Tessla Pro if anyone was looking for one.
-
You are aware it's called a kickdrum, not a clickdrum, eh?
It's not overdone to the point of it being abrasive but one of those things where once you notice it you can't stop noticing it.

If you're into UIlleann Pipes you should listen to Nightwish's most recent album 'Endless Forms Most Beautiful'. It's got pipes coming out of it's (metaphorical) ears!
I was somewhat familiar with what Uilleann pipes were for a long time but It wasn't until I played The Witcher a few years ago that I went overboard with them. Love that OST like crazy and can't wait to play the 3rd one that just came out.
You know, despite my love of folk metal and symphonic metal I've never really been into Nightwish. It's a band with a lot of talent no question but they have yet to do anything that really jumps out to me. Maybe that album will be what converts me. I'll have to check it out.
I do dig hietala's beard tho

Hey Garpocalypse, did you intend your track to be Celtic and/or Irish? And I think you should continue polishing it for OCR submission. I don't hear many OC ReMixes in that style.
Yea it's an Irish inspired track. I picked up East West's RA a little while ago mostly because I have a recent obsession with UIlleann Pipes. I mean, bag pipes are (cliche) really cool on their own and everything but they can't glissando like uilleann pipes can!

It also has a hurdy gurdy so it was a win to pick that library up.
I'll probably get it subbed sometime after the compo.
-
subbed! looking forward to seeing how the round turned out!

Were there any plans, official or otherwise, for a listening party tomorrow? If it's towards the evening I should be able to make it.

Is it possible to get nostalgic about a track that was created in a competition dedicated to nostalgia from twenty years earlier?
I think it is.

Ignore everything I've ever said, I'm on Garpocalypse's team now I guess.
I'll post my sources at some point.
I guess i'm better than i thought at the whole coercion thing.
Right now the team looks like it's going to be Wildfire, myself and a third that I am currently waiting on a definite from. Will post picks once finalized.

What's the status on the teams? I was on the fence about joining this for awhile... maybe too long
If anyone needs a member or wants to form a team I'd be up for it! -
Updated version of my FTL Milky Way Battle Remix for the Artist Appreciation Competition. I changed up a few parts from the original competition version and added some sound effects. For fun I also did a version with a rage scream by Brandon Strader.
Enjoy!

massive ditto. Especially since SO4 was supposed to be the final entry in the series.

They're redoing the soundtrack too, right? Because they've totally got to redo the soundtrack if they're remaking it.
And they're totally bringing Uematsu in for that, right? Because goddamnit Squenix don't toy with me on this.
This may be personal opinion but given that Sakuraba was unable to successfully remake his own music from previous Star Ocean games for Star Ocean 4 I don't think Uematsu will be able to pull it off any differently for the remake of FF7. At least not in any way that would be accepted by fans of the original.
To elaborate:
Given that OCR has already "dealt" with SE in the past. There may be some opportunity to get some ReMixes out for this game. Just a thought.

Once we get a NEW Darkstalker's or Star Gladiator game then i'll be inclined to agree.
