What's your rate on growls BS? I've had a few mixes i've wanted you to scream on but i'm afraid you'd put me deep in hock. Not because you are that good, but because that's the type of guy you are. Cool concept. It's all in the execution. If it works it'll be great if not it'll be a colossal failure. That would probably be very very annoying. The acting might be a bit much unless you get some very convincing voice actors. I prefer to let the instruments represent ideas like that, but then chances are it would be lost on most of the people listening to it.

Something with Time Zones could be a title of a track for sure. I don't know, i just think the title for an album needs to invoke some type of imagery that relates to the work on it. It's the first impression that's left on a listener before they even listen to anything so it needs to be everything it can.

I really... don't think... it's a good idea. at all. sorry. First there is nothing that cuts, or grabs attention. Time Zones lacks everything it needs to stand out as a title and comes off as redundant when trying to explain it. Not a bad idea but not there's enough to it. Usually when people discuss Time Zones, it's an obstacle. Divided over Time/Divided in Time is what i'm leaning towards but i'll get some of my own suggs up in a bit. You can tell I spend way too much time thinking about these things than a normal productive member of society should be... I spent a solid 20 minutes trying to come up with a title for this one before submitting it to DoD. EDIT: Here is a brainstorm I pulled off of my phone, Most of them suck but if you see something you want to use or run with then go ahead. I'll add to it as i think of 'em. Time/Rivalry Themed: Clash of Time Clash of/over Time and Tranquility Contest of Time Duel of an Era Duel over time Blue themed: The two Blue Time Travelers Back to back blue Shades of Blue (probably not this one, apparently it's close to some book) Two Oceans of Time Oceans of Time Duel of the Sea colored hedgehogs Sparkles in the Sea of Time Blue Blue Skyyyyy Blue Blue Sky i see! It's either a concise representation of the duality of man, or it's two hedghogs kicking the crap out of each other. Synthetic Themed: Soul of a Machine Soul of a machine mind of a hedgehog Sparkles in a Sea of Machinery Sparkles in a Machine Sea Purity Assimilated Blue Assimilated/tion Imitation Themed: Echoes over Time Echoes in an Ocean Echoes of a Synthetic Sea

Alot of these games would go against OCR rules as only original music from a game can be used. Alot of licensed games use music that was originally written for TV or movies. However there was some original music in a few of those games so maybe that would pass.

It's always good to see Ashane but what type of tea does that guy drink?

Happy Birthday.

Divided in Time isn't bad at all. Divided over Time? Kind of refers to the split between the listeners over the different soundtracks as well. When i'm in class today i'll try to think of something to play around with.

Love ya The Damned but your Anti Sega Post War Neo European American Conservatively Liberal Pro Nintendo Agenda (w/ dubstep influences!) has been clear for some time. Go ahead. if you have time, run (well, swim)over and try to introduce something new to the Japanese. You'll find progress for even a small change can take several decades or longer. This is the entire reason i stopped using anime to study Japanese for about a decade. I guess now i'm getting back into it. market shares? where the heck are market shares discussed in this thing? that would make for a boring show. Maybe some land, power, and chicks but market shares?! Mediocre plot for sure. But... ...it's appealing to all the former kids who used to beat the hell out of each other on the playground screaming for either Mario or Sonic. Conflict is perfectly natural. Don't interfere with nature! If you prefer Nintendo that's fine, but let's enjoy and keep the fighting going! I wouldn't quite take it that far... I am firmly against any show that makes it's viewers want to punch women. Even if they kind of look like something that crawled out of a sewer. and somehow got famous. Still not clean from watching Tails die in the opening minute... Worst part of the show for me.

I think a listening party/discussion held over IRC would be a great addition as well.

Either my love of old Sega is blinding me, or we have some friggen Nintendo fans in here. Pilots are never great. Unless you are talking about Fluppy Dogs. That was a great pilot. Everything else tho has great suckage potential. Any word on when episode II is coming out?

Halloween... Theramin... I was hoping everyone was going to think that using that instrument was cliche so that it would end up with me being the only one having it. The last lead was one i made with dimension pro awhile ago. It was supposed to sound really nervous so i boosted 2k throughout most of that faux solo at the end. The glitch was supposed to represent a reflection. I was planning on having slight panning adjustments then reversing them each time it glitched to give the impression of things being a little backwards. Didn't work. Monster Sounds were slightly edited Resident Evil 2 clips. Monster pounces. Remix over.

God, now Willrock signs up as a star. I'm still carrying the weight from backing out last month so i don't think i'll be signing up again for a little bit at least.

As much as i love to cut and explode wide I think Dafydd had a far better one on his entry. Sandy ended up coming through here while I was finishing this thing up and i was worried i would lose power at any second. So, in order to make sure the appropriate amount of rage came across in the mix I periodically ran up on top of my roof, faced the wind and the rain, shook my fist at the heavens, and screamed "YOU CALL THIS A STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM??!!!"

Happy Halloween OCR! Just thought I would post the most recent version of what was to be my entry for Remixing with the Stars for this month. Got sidetracked by mid terms. For this one I used: Dimension Pro Rapture Resident Evil 2 Monster sound clips Ministry of Rock I'm working on a more OCR friendly sound so let me know what you think! Special Thanks to Syllix who was great about helping me keep the right frame of mind after a tiring couple weeks of tests and work, and providing me with a near complete book of mixing advice.

Best to start learning from the master himself. Pay good attention to 2:35I talked to this guy twice in my life for a few minutes and each time it was life changing. (The first time i talked with him he said "You look like a bass player." to this day it's the greatest compliment i've ever received)

Simple is good but that's 1/3 or more of music the poster might not have confidence in. Much more daunting.

Don't force or make anything. Make sure he wants to do it. Standing posture should be as natural as possible. (no head craning back to get the mic for example) Limit the recording session to under an hour at a time. (maybe even less than that). herbal Tea. Good. I recommend a blend of Hibiscus and Chrysanthemum though i'm not sure about giving anything to a nine year old. Is it a Rush cover?

Not in the slightest. Like knowing the grammar of any language, it helps, but you can communicate knowing just what you know. I was surprised when i found out that Paul McCartney didn't even know basic music theory. (according to a few of my music teachers that were raised on the beetles.) The catch is though that you will have to spend a ton of time struggling to figure out things that others will have no problem coming up with. Any single aspect of music is only 1/9th of the whole thing at best. So if you know what to pay attention to you can make up lack of knowledge in one area with the others. Notes, Dynamics, Expression, Rhythm, Harmony, Melody, Accents, Phrasing, Production, and whatever else you want to throw in there.
