I really liked the Doom cover, though there's something in the sound that I don't like too much. Maybe it's a bit overcompressed?

Here you have http://www.mediafire.com/?i24zx23wnrg

That wouldn't make sense unless he's got a 64 bits OS.

Thanks for pointing that out Thanks!

haha, I guess I'm one of those too. As for MediaFire, yes, I've got an account. It's very odd, I've got several files deleted for no reason.

PS: Who's her? http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8378/lin1w.jpg

That was a very good explanation indeed. It's all clear now, thanks a lot for the advice

Thanks for commenting! I'd like to ask you for a 'fool-proof' explanation of what I "bolded" there in the quote. I mean, it's difficult for me to understand some things because my english is very limited, and I really want to understand what you tried to say there, since it could help me to improve

I'm kind of new here. What's the problem with favourites threads?

That configuration sounds good to me, though I'd make some slight modifications to it: - Rather than an AM3 mobo, I'd buy an AM2+ mobo instead, so you can replace those DDR3 sticks by cheaper DDR2 sticks. Believe me, there's no noticeable performance gaining by using DDR3 memories, by now they're only better in synthetic benchmarks. - I'd buy 3 GB of memory (or more if you're using a 64 bits OS) instead of 2, since samples and all that stuff get loaded into it, and, believe me, 2 GB can run out very soon when working with music! - If you're not going to play modern games, the HD 4200 should do fine. Try to get a motherboard with sideport (integrated graphics memory) though, so the video card doesn't borrow system memory. - The integrated audio should do fine by the moment, but I highly recommend you to buy a dedicated sound card in the future; if you're only going to use VSTs and such and you're not going to record anything external (i.e. a musical instrument), it won't make any difference in your productions, but isn't it good to listen at your stuff with good sound quality? Oh, also, I wouldn't see that Hybrid CrossFireX thing as an option, as it only supports low-end video cards, such like HD 24xx and HD 34xx series cards. If you're gonna get serious about gaming, just buy a mid/high-end video card and forget about it. BTW, there's something important missing: what about the PSU? Well, if you're not putting a dedicated video card it shouldn't be a problem to stay with your current PSU, unless it's an old 300 W generic PSU haha. Come on, the cheapest i7 is about the half of the OP's budget. Put to that a decent LGA 1366 or LGA 1156 mobo (depending on whether he chooses a Bloomfield or Lynnfield based Core i7), and his budget is almost gone. An LGA 775 platform could be a good choice, but he'll do fine with a cheaper AMD platform.

Either for composing or listening. I was thinking about that the other day. I remember that when I started making music, almost everything that came out was on 6/8 time signature. I also remember that back in those days I tried to make a 5/4 song, and it came out pretty awful hahaha. Currently, since I make music for my prog metal band, I usually compose using variable time signature, but I've come to the conclusion that my favorite one is 7/8. Despite being a not so common signature, for some reason it comes out very naturally for me. I also think that songs in 7/8 are kind of elegant, don't know why What about you? You have a favourite time sig?

You're welcome! I don't think it doesn't fit. Actually, I like it (well, one of my favourites music genres is prog rock, so I love messing with the rythm hahaha). Well, yes, those things you mention could be a "problem". You better read this, taken from the site FAQ. It could help:

What are your concerns? I'm not familiar with the original song, but what you played on piano there sounded really amazing. Very beatiful song.

How many reviews have been submitted so far? (I guess this isn't the only site where you posted this contest ).

I'd say that improving the samples would suffice, but a bit more complex drumline wouldn't be bad at all

The track is just amazing, I really enjoyed every second of it. Actually, this is going directly to my MP3 player. Don't know what to say on the technical side, since I didn't find flaws on the track. PS: I can't believe that no one else has commented on this impressive track yet.

You said these were original pieces. Who made them? You? Man, they're just AMAZING! Very good performance too, I can't believe you're "just" high-school students.

I really liked the mellodies, it really sounds like a road to sorrow haha. The samples could be improved though.

Whoa, that's really you playing the drums? That sounds like a sampler, I have never heard a so precise drummer before. Congratulations man, you've got some pretty insane skills!!

I'm not sure if you want comments on the lyrics or the music. If it's the first one, I can read english very good, but sadly I'm not very good at listening at it. Maybe you can post the lyrics so I can comment on them. As for the music, I liked it a lot. You've got a very innovative style here, IMO. I liked the overall composition. I'd get some better samples for the strings (both bowed and pizzicato) and maybe the drums, which are sort of the weak point of the song IMO. You've got a good voice too. Anyway, you could get some of these, to avoid those peaks with the S' and F's that can be heard some times throughout the song.

That name sounds pretty nice to me

Ouch, I'm pretty bad with names. Maybe you can suggest one?

hahaha, I had to Google for brentalfloss. Watched some videos, it was pretty funny indeed. BTW, I hadn't heard Megaman's 3 soundtrack before, so any resemblances are purely coincidental I only based on your track to do this remix.

hahaha sorry, but I totally destroyed your track! It's unrecoznizable now Hope you like it! http://soundcloud.com/fernito/onslaught-six-remix

OK, I'll start doing something... I'm still not sure about what style I'll use for the remix, but it'll probably be something rather unexpected for you
