General Gilliam

Anyone else having problems logging on to the OCAD server? I've been getting a "Internal exception: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out" error message for the past hour and a half.

Thanks, I'll hop on there instead.

You guys just need people to vouch for you, to let us know you are good people who won't be bad. Well, I don't really have anyone to vouch for me, anyone? How about just un-whitelist or blacklist me if I mess with people (not that I would anyways, I'd mostly be making a gigantic kingdom of my own).

Can I be white-listed? My user name is GeneralGilliam

I play Reach a lot. My gamertag is "General Gilliam". Add me if anyone wants to play.

Well, Guitar Hero and Rock Band drums are what led me to actually taking up real drums, and without them I never would have even given a thought to drumming. So for that, I'll always love these games, but lately they have gotten quite stale, pumping out too much of the same stuff. Now, what Harmonix needs to do is get information from their fans on the features they'd like in a game, build an extensive list of those features, then try and incorporate as many as possible into one new game. And then just continue to support that game with future DLC and expansions. The moving to a whole new game is where many fans are dropped. People simply don't have the money to keep up with all the games and peripherals.

Rise Against - Help Is On The Way

Oh, I lol'd.

Huh, not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. While it would be cool to have a better remake of this game, I dobn't want people to leave Reach to play this. Source

That's pretty sick dude! Nice job.

Hey, so I've been working on a remix of the theme from Tengu Man's level on the Sega Saturn version of Mega Man 8 for the past 5 hours or so, thought I'd get your guys opinions and find out what I'm doing right/wrong before I go any further. Any feedbac kis greatly appreciated. (Link to Original) (Link to WIP)

Anyone? Hello?

Hey, does anyone here have a good sample of an orchestral hit/stab? I'm looking for one that would sound semi-similar to the one in this song: Just so you know, it's the being used a lot in the first 8 seconds.

Hey bahamut, sent you a message with a WIP preview. Also, what's with all the Gravity Beetles? o.O

Hey Bahamut, sorry I never got back to you on the status of the song I was kinda working on, but I decided to drop the project. On another note though, I am currently remixing Zero Stage 2 (Cyber Maze Core) from X5. Not sure if I'll have it done on deadline, so I guess this'll kinda be like if I finish it on time I'll submit it to you, if not, oh well. Here' a link to the original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQSDf-V0yDs This is kinda hard to remix as it's already a techno song, but I'll try my hardest to get a good sounding mix out before the WIP due date.

So, I got bored a while ago and have been working on this mellowish remix of the song Stickerbrush Symphony from DCK2. Thought I'd share with you guys and get some feedback on what could use some work and such. http://soundcloud.com/general-gilliam/dreamy-brambles

PMs have been sent

Alright, thanks for the responses (and PMs). I'll send you guys some PMs soon and try to get the ball rolling on this (you too joe).

Hi everyone, let me start of by introducing myself; My name is Tim Foss, I work with bands and musicians to get their music onto various video games, and am currently working on the video game Rock Band 2, getting bands/artist's music into the game as DLC via the Rock Band Network. I am looking for musicians for a project that I am doing for Rock Band 2. I would like a band to make a song specifically for Rock Band, with lots of fast notes, some raging solos, blast beats ect... while still maintaining a catchy and enjoyable sound/tune. This isn't a small custom project or anything, the song will actually be on the game for sale! I realize this will probably take some time and planning to complete, but, you will be paid (we'll talk more about payment if you're interested). BREAKDOWN: What I'm looking for: Guitarist Drummer Bassist Singer/lyricist (optional, as song CAN be an instrumental) Short version: I'm looking to get a very difficult, yet catchy song made specifically for the video game Rock Band 2. I need GOOD guitarist/s, drummer/s, bassist/s, and possibly a vocalist/lyricist. This song must be difficult (the harder the better) for the players playing it while still nice to listen too. You WILL be paid for this too FYI. If you're interested leave a comment here, or send me an email at generalgilliam@gmail.com Be sure to give some examples of previous works as well as what type/genre of music you are most comfortable with, what instruments you can play, and how you think you would fit into this project. Thanks ~Tim

Hmm, I've actually been making a Opening Stage - Zero mix for a bit now, but in order to finish it I need someone who could record a lead and rhythm guitar part for it. I kinda gave up on it a while ago because without a real guitar it sounds shitty.

ditto. I agree

Oh, I also noticed no Command Mission? That game had some pretty epic songs in it

True, it might not be that easy to make a remix of a song that already sounds like a techno remix lol. I just think tht with the right remixer this song has the potential to blow people away.

Really, nobody's taken Zero Stage 2 (Cyber Maze Core) from X5 yet?! That's like one of the best songs in the X games! That is my favorite techno song from any video game ever! I'd remix this one myslefs but the only instrument I would be able to do well is the drums

Goddamn, there are like 5 Laguna remixes on here now! All 5 of us need to combine forces to unleash the most kick-ass Laguna remix the world has ever seen! lol
