Paying off my debt to Tom Nook. Including the ones he forces upon you. This only applies to City Folk, though. There were so many ways to cheat the game for money that I could literally get 30,000 bells in 10 minutes on that game.

About time I comment on this. I want to say that for some reason, when I was first listening to the album I had trouble getting into this song. I think I might have listened to it one time before about 3 weeks ago. Every other time I played it I would just change the song before the first minute was up. Surprisingly though, this is now pretty much my favorite song off the album. Weird. I can't explain it, but about 3 weeks ago I decided to give it a full listen in my car, and once I got to the first breakdown section, I started falling in love with the song. It just kept getting better and better, and once 1:50 came around, I was absolutely awestruck. I think this song show's some amazing talents mixed in well. OA and Scaredism really brought their best to the table here, and without one or the other, the song wouldn't have been nearly as good. (obviously). I kept listening to it more and more to try to figure out why I didn't like it at first -- but I think I've come to the conclusion that the drums just weren't really that strong for the first 50 seconds or so. Maybe some more kick could have worked or something. I can't say for sure what would have made it better, but it doesn't matter now. Nice work you two! This experience showed me I should really give some of the mixes on this site second chances. If not, this might happen again.

Listening to a LOT of Joseph Arthur lately. Freaking amazing artist. . I skipped to the song for this link.

I really like the atmosphere you've created here. It starts off very muffled deep, a kind of atmosphere I like. You're using the harp very nicely, and the arrangement is nice so far. Using another source would be a good idea, but you could probably squeeze a complete song out of the source if you did some cool things with it and/or added some original stuff. I have to say the clap/snare doesn't work well for me. I agree with the Phonetic Hero, maybe switching it out with something else would help. I can't say for sure what it needs, though, maybe that clave idea. Very awesome thing you have going on here man. Can't wait to see it finished.

Haha, yeah. I figured I wouldn't become a god of mixing and stuff with new headphones, but considering that I won't be having any speakers to mix on I just figured mixing would be a lot easier in the long run with something better. Hopefully at least Thank you for the advice, I'll search around for some good comfortable headphones - but I'm really leaning towards the ones Snappleman suggested. They look very good(From reading reviews and stuff) : D

The best thing is I just found a pair of the MDR's for $80. I think it was the MDR's that I demoed now that I think about it (it was a sony pair anyways) I'll look them up and make sure before I buy it, and maybe wait for some more suggestions here if any comes. Thanks for your input Snappleman : D. It's very much appreciated.

Wow, that was a lot more information than I expected, but I'm happy for it. Thank you. It's a long story, but for the next year or so, headphones are (most likely) going to be my only option for mixing, so I was wanting to make sure I got my moneys worth for that time. I'm still a beginner, so really something to help me get through that year and hopefully longer . I definitely can spend up too $100 -- if going lower will cost quality (for mixing). I actually forgot to get the name of the headphones he showed me (I was only on break from work, and had to rush back), and considering the music stores about 30 miles away I don't really want to drive back anytime soon. If it's not too much to ask for, do you have any suggestion at all?

I've realized recently, my setup is pretty much crap. I went to a Portmans music store today and decided to demo a good pair of $100 headphones as recommended by the retailer. He told me there was no real bias with the frequences, that they were evened out by his experience, and so I took a listen and immediately noticed the difference. (the headphones I bought when i first got fl studio really boost up the bass, and lower the high end frequences). anyways, the whole story isn't necessary, i was just hoping for some input on maybe how to get a good pair like that, if possible cheaper? it wouldn't help if i could lower that to around $70 or so and still get the same quality or at least close to it.

Happy birthday to the guy whose remix was I believe the second I've ever heard from this site (BlueLightning). It was from a Smash Bros. Combo video which I think is gone from the internet now sadly.

I've refused to comment on this one for quite some time, I should do that now though. It took me a while to get into this one. I agree with the comments about the velocities. If there were some more differences between them - in the drums especially - it would have made this better. I do want to commend for how you implemented Luminoth's story. I absolutely LOVE the source, and to hear it in this fashion was weird, but it worked well. Not my favorite piece from DarkeSword, but it's cool nonetheless.

Haha, didn't even feel it in GA. Apparently in Savannah some buildings got a bit damaged, but other than that it wasn't that bad. I work at a grocery store, and a lot of people who came in were making a big deal out of it, and I might be wrong but it didn't seem like that big of a deal anyways (at least compared to the damage an earthquake can do) . I think people were just freaking out because there really are never earthquakes over here. I hope nobody was hurt in other places, though.

Woo! Happy late birthday Mr. Beardface! Yay!

Ok, can't wait for it! Thanks : D

Hi, I was digging and found this thread - and wanted to ask - do you think the new torrents will be updating soon? I'm going to be getting my labtop back soon with a brand new hard drive -- I was hoping you could tell me if it'd be easier just to wait or what? I'd prefer the torrent, but I'd probably just start redownloading OCR's recent stuff if it's going to take several more months anyways.

I listened to the soundcloud one actually. To be honest, I kept listening to it more and I think what's really bugging me is that it's just not humanized well enough. Not really the strength of it.

I'll be honest here, aside from I believe about 1 track (the ice berg peak one), I never really liked the music added to sky. Not as much as I like the original songs. But fortunately, this particular source isn't so bad, and I like this mix a lot. It certainly is conservative, but it's still good. I was going to comment mostly on arrangement this post, but all I can say is that it's very solid. The string, flute, pretty much everything sound very good together. The original parts are very cool, how you mix up both of leads - I love that. Speeding up things was a good call. The percussion could use a bit of work, though. It might either be because it's soft or maybe it's a little repetitive, I don't know. It just doesn't sound like it's helping out the mix that much, though. Try humanizing it a little more. Very good job on this!

Man, ok, so thanks for the comments guys. I just want to get this out of the way.. I really didn't mean to sound like that much of a jackass with my posting even though it's already too late. I kind of get impatient sometimes I think, and by sending it I think I might have just wasted some peoples time. Man. I really did feel finished with the song overall though, and I don't really regret where it's at. but I think I'm kind of starting to see what you guys are talking about... I obviously didn't think about these things. Ahh.. I'm having trouble finding a good piano sound.. but I'll update you guys on this. thanks again guys. again sorry for sounding like a jackass. I realize that sending in a song with that kind of attitude might just put a burden on the judges. I'm a bit impatient at times with things like this I guess and usually end up regretting half the shit I do. Haha. I'll try hard to get this a good quality before it hits the judges panel. or maybe just retract it if that's even possible. edit: by the way, algamest, I'm just using soundfonts as of right - for everything except the drums and pad played in the chorus. i'm using FL studio to put this all in.

I wouldn't forget about this Technically, this is only the second version I've heard of this song. This one and the one right before the Chrono Trigger edit. I really like the lead synth you have there, and the works very well. The drums were a little weak, but I can tell that's not the point in this mix. The production is great for garageband. I really was hoping for a little more for the closing. Not sure what, but something felt missing. It might just be me though, so really don't worry about that comment too much unless other people agree. Good job on this though. I really like it. Hopefully you finish this soon if you haven't yet, I wanna see this on OCR!

I just wanna say I updated the link a bit, and did some equalization, but I've already submitted it actually (yeah, before I even got any critiques) If it gets rejected, then I will work on it some more (at least once I have my labtop back again, with a reasonable listening space), but I'm gonna move onto other stuff for the most part. If anyone has any EQ suggestions though, I'll still apply them as an update before the judges get to it. Not a problem at all. But for the most part I'm done with it for now.

This is an exciting. The guitar and sax/trumpet are awesome together. Also, very nice mixing of the vocals. I can't wait to hear this finished. I like it a lot. : D

I'm with DaMonz on that piano sample, you might just need a new one entirely, tbh. Also, maybe the guitar too, but it's not as bad. Humanization would probably fix it. I have to say, I'm really digging the bells when they come in. They sound very pretty. Using more pads towards will help fill in the space on other sections too. A lot of it sounds empty. The drums are very cool, btw. Good start, keep adding stuff, it would really help.

Right, so this is the second time I've started this song, and just rounded it up. My labtop had a hardware crash recently, and so while its being sent in (with a memory wipe) I've decided to restart it on my old PC, which has a pretty shitty listening space (and the computers fan won't stfu). This started with me learning equalization and applying it to a piano, and then I just kept adding things from there until I decided to make it a song. This is what came out of it. The ending might seem kind of rushed, but the whole restarting thing kind of drained the fun, and I kinda want to do something else. But if anyone has suggestions, I'll be happy to apply them. I'm hopefully gonna send this off the judges soon, so yeah.
