  1. I went to see it last week in 2d (i've never been impressed by 3d, especially the increased price) and whilst I definitely enjoyed the film, I didn't feel as amazed by it as others have been saying. Really impressed by the action though, glad that the final set piece wasn't over way too quick, like in Iron Man 1 and 2 for example.

    Still I do recommend going to see it!

  2. Hey everyone! You may remember sometime ago I posted this thread (http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37180) looking for people to record short lines for a film I was working on.

    Well, finally, here's the finished film

    Many thanks to all those of you that sent in recordings, I've tried to use all of you, if you've been used you have been credited as an additional voice in the first scene (many apologies to anyone that sent in a recording that wasn't used, and also apologies to those of you that showed interest but never heard back from me...)

    So the film: 'Set in the aftermath of a major crisis that left the world almost uninhabitable, Man Still Remains follows one man, confined to life wearing a gas mask, as he scavenges his way through survival finding ways to cope and cling to sanity.'

    It was created by just three of us, Myself (Music for the second half of the film, and sound recording/sound post-production), Matt Cochrane (camera work, visual editting and visual effects) and Liam Grindell (additional camera work, music for the first half of the film, and sound recording/sound post-production) all on a budget of just £80.

    If anyone's interested we can be found on twitter @hd1films, and hopefully the full soundtrack should be available for free very soon!

    Hope you like it, and if you do we'd be very grateful to any of you that like it enough to share it (shameless self promotion i know)

  3. It's not a bad start, some nice sounds. I just feel it needs more impact and needs to build that half beat dubstep feel. Maybe try adding a nice full power kick and a big reverberant snare alternately on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar (that's assuming you're already at a tempo around 135bpm?)

    I say just start with that if that all makes sense and see how it evolves from there?

  4. My soundcloud is in my sig if anyone wants to check out some of my stuff.

    I'm not looking to get hundreds upon hundreds of followers, I'd much rather have genuine followers who like my music, so yeah if you like my stuff please follow me and I will check out your tracks, just not into this follow someone and hope they'll follow you back business.

  5. So I'm playing with the Kontakt5 and some samples I have in Cubase using the drum map. but it seems like whenever the drum map is ON, I don't get anything going through the contact even if the drum map is littered with hits. Then, as soon as I turn off the drum map and switch it back to piano roll, it goes through and I hear all the sounds loaded up in the Kontakt. What's up with that?

    Hmmm very odd...I've not come across that at all before, it doesn't make sense, as you say, the midi map is just a different way to view the piano roll. I've just quickly plyed around changing a number of my tracks from piano roll to drum map and vice-versa and it's made no change to any of my tracks.

    That all being said I don't use kontact so it sounds like it must be that which for some unknown reason just doesn't like the drum map, stupid as it sounds that can be the only reason (at least the only one i can think of so far).

    I think you'll just have to program your drums in the piano roll, slightly more annoying and time consuming, but not an unworkable issue.

    EDIT: Ah! Just had a thought! the drum map sometimes doesn't account for the notes lengths, i.e. treats every midi note as a staccato burst (if that makes sense) some of kontact's samples may need their notes to be held for a little bit in order to hear them, i.e. the drum map is playing the notes so sharply/briefly/quickly that it's not giving the samples a chance to play fully, perhaps?

    If this is what is going on i think again you'll just have to put up with programming in the piano roll

  6. Sounding good to me! I love the new feel this gives to Snake Eater, shame the vocals are such low quality at the moment, I'm looking forward to hearing this with Claire's voice, I'll try and give a more in depth critique when the new vocals are in, but for now I'd say it's SOLID (pun fully intended)

    Incidentally, was anyone else aware that the 'Konami logo sound' was actually taken from the Policenauts soundtrack?

  7. I really dig this - could you specify which bit was a sample from chop chop master onion?

    It's all really good, really creative use of samples and ultra-tight too!

    Glad you like it! At 27 seconds you can hear the 'Yaaatatatattaaaaaa!' from chop chop, and in the same section i also sampled the 'kick' and 'chop', they're quick, but they're in there

  8. Hi all,

    Myself and two other guys are currently making a short indie film, looking to release it around April/May of next year.

    Without giving too much away, the plot centers around a man consigned to life in a gas mask after an apocalyptic event (think 'The Road'/'I am Legend' sort of thing).

    Anyway, the opening scene features quick cut montages of news reports from around the world indicating how the 'end of world' event happened, and this is where you come in!

    We need some very brief, audio only, news report-like lines recorded by you people from around the world, which you can then send to me for us to put into the film as radio broadcast snippets. Any and all accents are welcome as we want this scene to have a global feel.

    We can't offer any payment for this sadly (it's very low budget, we won't be making any money from it ourselves) but we will of course credit you for your small part and will be massively grateful. Also unfortunately I can't guarantee right now that your line would make it into the final edit, I see no reason why it shouldn't if your recording is good enough, but thought I should say anyway.

    I reckon getting the line recorded and sent back to me should be no more than a 20 minute job at most, so if you've got a bit of spare time please give it a thought.

    Anyone will do as long as they:

    A) Can give a convincing newsreader performance (basically serious voice, do it in your own voice rather than an impression)

    B) Have a semi-decent microphone and recording software to produce a decent recording.

    C) Can send me their recording, preferably via email.

    D) Are, or at least sound like, an adult (sorry kids!)

    In terms of recording quality I'd prefer completely unprocessed (i.e. no compression, e.q. etc) files in .wav format to be recorded at a 48k sample rate at 24bit if possible.

    If any of you are genuinely interested please send me a private message on here and I can assign you your short, single line and give you my email for you to send the audio file to. Of course please message me with any questions you might have.

    There's no strict deadlines, just an ASAP sort of thing. We just have 12 lines that need recording, if possible we'd like 12 different people for these 12 lines.

    Hope to hear from you!

    (p.s. if you're really interested, you can follow our updates on the project via twitter @hd1films)

  9. So I've been working on this for the last few hours now, 80's style, so lots of big snares, vibrato synths, stabbed bass notes and retro orchestra hits! It's mostly Jenova, but there are parts of the main battle theme worked in there too.

    It's not finished yet but I thought at this point I should ask some opinions on how it's going, what you'd change about it etc...

    Hope you enjoy it!
