     I'm almost a yes to this idea, but I'm sure it'd be stretching the meaning of Hero theme as it could also be considered the Alien theme for the game. I'll have to throw it to Pieter for a call.

    I just realised I used this source long time ago. Bad idea. I'll find something else. 

    However, I have a strong feeling that its time to clear the way for fresh blood..

    I dunno what the vocals are saying at 1:22, and a little much fuzz (read: 3000Hz) on the rhythm guitar, but other than that this is some good horror-like metal.

    I wonder.. Vocals at 1:22?? Vocals??

    I don't mind not being able to understand the voices--I think that's the point--

    Voices??

    I'm scared

  3. Joined OCR thanks to @AMT He was Death by Spoon back then, if i recall correct.

    Inspired by @Sixto @SnappleMan and @goat at first.

    Then @Rozovian grabbed me and threw to music. Many thanks to him.

    @Clembecame a music friend. I remember the time when both of us was trying to be posted. Even tried to collab. But then he changed the course of his music..


    @AngelCityOutlaw and @Garpocalypse

    This two guys was a fun company.

    @Liontamer always tried to believe in me

     @djpretzel His reviews and comments.. just thank you

    Thank you all OCR people

  4. Yeah, I know this drumm vst. I tried to make something good sounding, but failed. I'm  lazy, to find out how to work with that vst.

    If you don't have any chance to take Addictive drums or supperior or other cool drumm vsts, you need to separate every drum/cymbal to a different track.

    Turn off all effects to have "dry" signal. Then you can work with your drum kit. I'm not sure, may be this vst has ability to edit each track. I just coudn't find it.

    Also, try to avoid reverb/room for drums master. This thing bring your drums under the mix.

    Careful with delay. If you use more then one instrument with delay, be ready for muddy mix) You can fix it by EQing delay it self and drop down effect's mix for delay.
    Use 10-30% to find out the comfortable sound.

    Samplitude Music Studio and Samplitude Pro X from Magix have the same excellent MIDI editor like Magix Music Maker - but much more settings and a very stable program engine which doesn't hinder you to work with complex VSTi and plugin stuff in a project.

    Sounds like an advertisement:mrgreen:

  5. Listened with my mixing phones. deppend of what you call "clean". It mixed messy. Freqs conflicts, delay/reverb conflicts(freq), panning. All this brings your audio tracks to overlay each other. 

    I don't know what is your drum VST right now, but if it has ability to work with each drum/cymbal/whatever channel it's ok. You can make it sound a lot beter.

    Make some accent to kick at 2,5-4 kHz(depends of your ears), hipass 30-50 Hz, boost 50-90Hz, cut 100-300Hz, add crunchy distortion(a little). You'll hear a big differents in energy.

    Work with each part of your drumm kit, don't use presets. Presets sounds great, but as is, without other instruments. If you want to put it to your mix, you have to work with it a lot(making from scratch, more usefull).

    I'd suggest start from drums and bass mixing. 

    Lead guitar sounds too fake, rhythm sounds even more fake. Don't know piano or any other sample you used, but it totaly sounds like fake guitar to me)

    As for MM, yes it work very bad with VSTi, but ironicly it has the best midi editor i've tried.

    I don't use any gtr samples, I use guitar actually. https://ocremix.org/quicksearch/remix/?qs_query=mak+eightman

     

  6. Wow! 4 year old wip!

    Don't use Vita guitar VST if you want to reach something "real" sounding. Trust me. This VST simply CAN'T do anything real.

    Drums are buried. Kick has lack of power and presense. Crash(china) and other cymbals, having freqs conflict with each other and snare. Sounds messy. Hi-hat sounds louder then kick and snare.

    Big problem with stereo field. Lack of panorama(say hello to Vita gtr VST). This led entire mix to somethin crowded and messy.

    Cool track, but has no energy, because of buried and crowded drums. And disgusting fake gtrs.

    Also it's too quiet to my tastes(like twice or more then my mixes :mrgreen: )

    EDIT: Yes, I made all my music in Music Maker

  7. Hello!

    Long time ago I wanted to make "virtual band" in League of Legends universe, from Noxus.

    With Katarina's vocal, Darius and Thalon with guitars, Sion on Bass gtr, Draaaven as a drummer and Urgot(before rework) at synths.


    I made this track and even lyrics(inspired by Rammstein). But than, Riot's made Pentakill.. So my idea died. Pentakill is great, so I don't complane.

    enjoy if you can xD

     

     

  8. Hello to all!

    At first I wanted to wait for someone to leave a couple of comments, but then I remembered that my work is not very popular ;)

    So, I want to share my feelings.

    I did not expect that this composition will pass. Due to various production reasons.
    But what I especially did not expect that this mix will cause such a discussion about source usage.
    I even feel guilty in some sense.
    I apologize for taking so much time from the judges.

    After reading the "judicial battles", I finally managed to specifically explain for myself why I stopped submitting my remixes and I hardly will.

    As I said, I did not think that this mix will pass, however, I consider this mix to be my best to this day. And, the funny thing is, if this one hadn’t passed, I would have stopped submitting already then. Not very logical, but true :)

    Vig very accurately described the course of my thoughts in the process of writing this composition. The original part was only a guitar solo (if you can call it that). Everything else is source, reassigned in places.

    I never say where and how the source is used. If this needs to be clarified, then I did not meet the OCR standards. What comes out at the end is what I feel(including instruments and sounds choice) while listening to the source. This is true for any of my work (and not only mine, I assume).

    Many thanks for such a detailed trial, which(all of judging processes) finally helped me to understand why I don’t want to submit my remixes anymore. I still appear in some competitions or projects. I think this is enough for me. OCR will not lose anything with my departure from the posted remixes.

    I came to this decision a few years ago, but now at least I understand why. It means a lot to me. Thanks guys! Not sarcasm, I am sincerely grateful.
    You are doing a very big and useful job!

    I'm still here .. I'm learning, crawling on the forum and pop up from time to time;)

    Don't think I'm offended. I'm actually very happy right now!! 8-O

    Thank you!
