Anorax

only if Darkesword gets to punch you in the face and throw you off a boat into the fjord.

this might be a good read. I'll keep an eye on this

This was the happiest happy-go-lucky dubstep song I've ever heard. My life is complete. I am now terrified of what Harmor is capable of.

Sweet. I think we may need a map of the spawntown districts and, more specifically, claims therein

I'm going to justly assume multiple entries aren't allowed

All I have to say is that I'm disappointed that my DAW doesn't let me exceed 360 BPM. That is all.

OLReally? </10char>

I see what you did there, although it didn't help that I read "relic" as "rectal"

ah. Should've known the kalimba. It didn't really sound like a marimba (but then again, the marimba my school has doesn't always sound like a marimba either so there's always that) I don't know if FL offers the ability to freeze tracks (it should, and if it doesn't then that's a huuuuge drawback). If it does then try freezing the more CPU-intensive tracks as you go along. (Just in case you didn't know, freezing a track makes your DAW temporarily bounce the track to an audio file for use during playback, so that the instrument and effects aren't being used by the CPU).

100% Modern Talking. Every single sound must be made with the modern talking wavetable from Massive.

I was listening to OP's WIP for the first time when I read your comment. I was going to find out where 1:30 was, but then I heard it right as I read this comment and it was fairly obvious where I was at that point. Here's something with the banjo that just might help humanization - try studying and emulating banjo playing styles (clawhammer vs finger picked) and how chords are performed with each. This might help a lot here. From what I know of banjo* (which is next to nothing), clawhammer is usually played alternating between the root of the chord and the rest of the chord (say, on one beat "C" would be played, then the next beat "E" and "G" would be played, and back and forth). Finger picking is more of a broken chord style, each note of the chord is played independently of the others. *I basically just BSed this paragraph. I have no idea if this is how these styles are played/notated. Take with a grain silo of salt. I will say though, at 1:30, I like the dynamics you applied to the mallets (Marimba? Definitely not xylophone, unless you wrote this part on the really low end of the xylophone sample's range). I think you could build more off of the mallets, maybe use them for more than just the rhythm and chords. I am not in any way saying don't use them for rhythm+chords, you do this well already and it would be detrimental to take it away at this point, but just to build off of them. You have some really good ideas, it's just all about execution at this point. What DAW do you use?

d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-drop the cake! (Almost) late comment is (almost) late, but nonetheless hope you had a happy birthday!

I don't have the project open right now, but I have only three VSTs that make a somewhat realistic piano sound (one GM sound library, a dedicated grand piano VST, and an electric piano VST), and they are Mixcraft's stock "Acoustica Instruments", Acoustica's "Pianissimo", and "Lounge Lizard", respectively. If I recall correctly, I used Pianissimo in the middle section (although I may have used the GM library, I'll have to check) and I know I used Lounge Lizard in the intro. Does that help?

This is a remix I did in 'collaboration' with Flexstyle for RwTS last year, and I've basically let it sit on the shelf since then. However, I've decided to pick it back up and start working on it again. To be fair, this was a collaboration almost exclusively in name only, as I was unable to really get a hold of Flexstyle during the duration of said competition. (Ideally I could get in contact with him again and actually turn this into a full-fledged collaboration. One can dream) Here's what I've got so far (at this point, the same as what was submitted for RwTS) So, tell me what you think, what I may need to focus on, what needs fixing (for example, I can't mix to save my life), etc. and I'll work from there. Thanks! EDIT: I should probably make note that the middle section is the most cringeworthy part of this in my opinion, and I plan on giving it a complete overhaul

When I first clicked on this thread, I thought it was about an OCR Forums app This would be an extremely awesome idea though, I hope you can make it happen! I'm trying to learn enough Java to code with Android, but it's more like a crash course at this point... smali is absolutely hell to try and read

Holy crap, that's awesome! I'm a bit late to the party, but congratulations!

What the ever-living hell are you talking about

Is this a "whoops, we dun goofed" sort of thing or

maybe it should be in a bigger font and in COMIC SAAAAAAANNNSSSS!!!!!

Sorry if my review was a tad short (a little more than tad), but I wasn't really feeling verbose and was mostly posting from objectivity instead of turning a critical ear like I probably should have. One question for Gario that's been bugging me for the past 24 hours or so - the saw(?) arp, how did you make it? It sounds pretty filtered, and almost physically modeled. I have a freebie VSTi that has a physical modeler for several orchestra instruments, and this sounds similar to one of the model settings

Too often I'm at the "stuck at the piano" part About the bolded bits. Apparently I'm not the only one to just get ideas at random times However, my problem is I can never get them down on paper or in a computer before they're gone and changed into something new (and usually less exciting) entirely. It's the fixation of the idea I struggle with, not getting the idea in the first place. Also, how did we get to Paul McCartney again?

Can I ask for a username change to "The Anorax Saga"? Couldn't pass up an opportunity to poke fun at king.com (especially since OCR's done so already on it's Twitter account

Awww shit. I let this one go flying by without doing anything. Damnit. I'll vote when I get home from school, hope to hear how you guys did!

Why did you have three or four accounts anyway? Wait, no, better not to ask.
