Garpocalypse

You mean you wrote the lyrics in Panzerese!? ...or cut them altogether!? ohhhh. ZING!

I noticed it and I loved it. Especially how it didn't trample over every other instrument like my delayed flute does. Just seeing these screens is making me realize that there's a bunch of stuff I'm not doing right. I know how i'm spending my labor day weekend! ...pretty much like every other weekend i've had the last couple of years.

Couple more of these please. I would love some images of how you processed the flute.

Oh man you guys are making me sick. Sick 'cause I want to go back a few years and do it all over again. But I know I can't. Have fun being in that environment!

That's more like it! I'm sure you could turn it into something more awesome now. Not that it's awful or anything just undeveloped in a few sections. The sources don't have much in the way of recognizable melodies so you have to run with the groove a little and really cling to those small parts that seperate jin's theme from gon's. Bring in a couple of really obviously different reinterpretations of those sources then just figure out how to connect them with some original stuff. Not easy stuff to work with so props for trying!

So what does everyone think of Sakuraba's latest? I find it harder and harder to believe that I am buying consoles just to play the games he does the soundtrack for but so far ToX has not disappointed me. (While NamcoBandai on the other hand...) Instead i was completely floored when I quickly recognized the guitar samples used in this battle track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joeqabwqMz4 Here, Sakuraba is showing off what a badass he is in that he is the only person in the world capable of using the crap Ministry of Rock leads by East West. I've hated on the library every chance i've had over the past year but I think i am going to go right back to using it after hearing that battle track. In short, Sakuraba= the friggen' man!!

whoah whoah whoah whoah MW. I like you but i gotta call you on that one. I've played Big Band and I love the hell out of various types of Jazz Fusion and they all used kicks and snares. I can't think of a single example that doesn't have any kick or snare actually. Except for Victor Wooten's brother who uses a Drumitar but that's loaded with kick and snare samples.

Seconded. Big time.

Metal perversion of everything. ...Followed by periods of rest.

Those synths that come in near the end could also be used to fill out the remix much earlier. Telephoning the guitar like you did in the intro works well enough. Enough to bring it back a few more times and have it run in the background to increase some guitar diversity. Arrangement wise you don't have to worry about using a ton of notes so try playing with the soundscape instead. Sections like the one around 2:07 are really too empty for their own good. You have some spacing that you could use to get the energy up with another instrument if you want to do it. More Jin! Alot more! He's my main afterall. Just my 2 cents. You're Tenchu/Streetfighter one is still awesome.

I was ranked 2nd best in the world in Soul Calibur 5 on XBL for a little while. But it didn't really matter because the leader boards are broken.

Aquaria II made by the Streets of Rage team, Sega's old AM7 studio.

Yea, i thought it was awesome that he had a near perfect early Megadeth imitation right down to the production choices.

is a listening party still on for 9pm tonight?

Huge fighting game fan here. Back before I started posting on the forums I had a few crap Darkstalkers remixes, 4 or 5 from Virtua Fighter and one or two Soul Calibur ones. Also one from Dead Or Alive 2 now that I remember it. My problem is most tracks from recent fighting games have been less than memorable. Tekken in particular has Moonlit Wilderness (T5's version) and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember. Thankfully TTT2 allowed us to replace the background music. I think I got rid of at least half the tracks. I'd much rather write originals for fighting games than remix most of the ones that are out now. Even Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown's ost was a disappointment. ...and i love my VF!!

Holy crap. Megadeth really is all over Wily Wars. Even a Friedman-esque solo. The singing sounds too relaxed though when compared to Dave Mustaine's unique style of choking the hell out of yourself and squeeking out a few notes kind of singing.

I was wondering if the time to get posted was going down at all but it may be going up even further. Putting my selfishness aside it's great to see such an abundance of talent dedicated to game music. EDIT: Waaaait it was 2.5 months?! I'm doing more albums.

So how long did it take from submission to posting? just curious.

I had a good laugh at those quotation marks. Real Talk.

Seconded ...but only if it was Good ol' Singletrac. With their old logo and(marginal)independence from Sony back. This is instant happiness right here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxGmg2BKqKI

I'd remake Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders. Personally. They had their hearts in the right spot but nothing, especially the music, was quite where it needed to be.

I just realized it's been really long since I listened to metal that had lyrics I could understand. Listening to the album now. That first track is great.

When they came back after breaking up I didn't think Dave was much more than a shell of what he was. I listened to The System Has Failed alot but that last one, at least I think it was the last one, I listened to maybe twice and never played it again. Now I really can't wait to hear these remixes tommarow.

I'm liking it. Hand percussion lacks a little life but that's a small thing. Everything else is pretty sweet. You gotta tell me what those pipes are from that play at the start! Can't wait to see where this one goes.

Early or Late? Not Risk-like I hope. So Far So Good So What? my favorite album.
