    Nintendo Wii U

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Anorax

    Anyway, looks like Nintendo does have a plan for not hosting a main show at E3.

    http://kotaku.com/nintendo-re-writes-rules-of-e3-letting-the-public-play-508197374 (I know it's Kotaku. Sue me)

    oh snap. Don't care if it's Kotaku, that's pretty damn awesome on Nintendo's part!

    Obviously it's never been done before, so that in and of itself should bring in interest for Nintendo. Plus the fact that they're unreleased games, which the public can access to decide on whether or not the games are worth buying, is huge.

    Makes you wonder if you'll see Sony and Microsoft trying to pull this off at next year's E3 - or even this year

    EDIT: and with the Metroid thing, I've personally never played it. I probably should. However, let's not turn this thread into another episode of "This Week On Tumblr: Opinions Edition"

    So me suddenly being able to see items that are meant to be picked up and fully differentiating those items from flowers in the scenery (a problem I had with the Wii), and it being very much brighter and sharper has nothing to do with a switch from AV to HDMI cables.

    Ok Brandon. Thanks.

    nope! absolutely nothing! :tomatoface:

    [Closed] Character Theme (Decision Made)

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Yeah, I want a strong identifiable melody that suits him as a musical motif that will work in different scenes, starting for now with the main and for battle.

    ok. I don't know for sure if I do want to do this, but if I do decide to take you up on your offer I will keep in contact, mostly for the purpose of quality assurance (basically, whether or not you think the theme is fitting, too fast/wrong feel, etc. You know, the nitpicky stuff).

    Again, I'm not sure whether or not I will take you up on your offer, but I will think about it and let you know.

    Acoustica Mixcraft 6 Help and Discussion thread - Mixcraft 6 Released!

    Posted

    Well, here's a six-month bump.

    Apparently, Acoustica is now working on Mixcraft 7. They are apparently in the design stage now, and there's a feature request thread open for MX7.

    So, if there's anything you wished MX7 could do that it currently doesn't, that's the place to post about it.

    MX7 Feature Request/Suggestion Thread here.

    I'm honestly excited to see what they come up with for MX7, although I'm sure it'll take some time before they're ready for the beta.

    Today, Woot.com has a Yeti USB microphone on sale for a good discount. Anyone used this and have an opinion on the results?

    http://tech.woot.com/

    I own a Yeti. While I haven't extensively used it (I really should though), I'm pleased with what results I've gotten so far.

    I really like the fact that it has multiple polar patterns. That's always fun.

    For that price, I say it's worth trying it out. That's about half-off, definitely NOT a bad deal at all.

    Only downside that you may encounter is that you can't plug in an analog mic cable - you'll have to get the Yeti PRO for that. However, I don't know if you'll need it for that (doubtful).

    RWS 1-5 ReMixing With the Stars: Season 1 Episode 5: "Ultra-Modern"

    in Competitions

    Ok, so here goes, in alphabetical order by song title

    Calm of Sweden - It's not easy to judge your own track for quality, because it's your own track.

    However, I'll try anyway.

    - - - - -

    The high reverberation in the beginning is a bit much, but not really overkill. From a listener's standpoint, I like how the piano and the pizzicato strings have the reverb applied.

    The Rhodes piano could probably use more work on the bass end, and the the cello in the background adds a solid sound to the intro.

    1:21 - The bass needs more sound to it, unfortunately. Probably should have applied a sine an octave below the bassline here to round it out.

    Kick could use some mixing magic to bring it out more.

    2:30 - the strings are relatively well mixed, IMO. The reverb is back, and this time it may be a bit much - it sounds too open and the reverb tail is too long. The drums sound a bit awkward at the beginning, but then it blends in nicely when the strings all come in.

    Overall, the use of source is rather uh, generous. However, it holds itself together well.

    ...jeez it's so WEIRD to critique your own work like that!

    Freedom Of Youth

    Opening pads are nice, although the kick seems shallow, like it's missing some highs or something. I don't know.

    I like the progressive feel of the track through and through.

    So far, there aren't any real glaring obvious mixing mistakes or anything like that. The mix as a whole is pleasant to listen to, even if you're unfamiliar with the source. (me!)

    I like what Esperado did with this song. After going back and listening to the source, I can DEFINITELY hear in the track. Well done.

    Godda Go Faste

    Guessing by the title, I'm assuming it's a Sonic source :-D

    The oriental instrumentation at the beginning really adds character to the song, and when the guitars come in it's amazing. Just goes to show that Tuberz really knows his way around a guitar.

    Of course, I don't know what hakstock did to help him out, so I'm just running on assumptions here.

    Around 1:40, there are parts where it sounds like the bass is playing non-chord tones. That really stood out to me, almost like a sore thumb. To me, it kind of pulled the mix apart for a bit. However, it didn't last long, and the song came back together well.

    The ending was kind of cool, gotta admit.

    Again, unfamiliar with the source, but hot damn this is a cool arrangement! Especially when you go back and listen to the source.

    Mario! The Galaxy Awaits

    Clicked play and immediately spaced out. *shot for bad pun*

    very nice, spacey arrangement. To me, it sounds a bit negative, considering the source. Sounds more like a boss theme than a file select theme.

    1:40 - 2:20, the mix relaxes again, back to a more spacey soundscape.

    Then at 2:20 - 2:38, you have bass-heavy, boss theme feel again, which isn't bad, but doesn't match the source in my opinion. THen the song relaxes back into the calm space atmosphere until the end.

    A very interesting take on the source. Overall, I like it, but there are times when I kept the source in mind as I listened, and it sounded off to me.

    One Final Prophecy

    Don't know the source, but I like this mix. Really cool.

    Not much to say about this. Really nice and enjoyable altogether, although there are some spots where the transitions seem off, like around 1:42. Other than that, really cool mix, and I can't find much to say about mixing issues or anything. You guys did a great job with this mix!

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I think I was more harsh on my own mix, but I kind of figured I'd do that anyways.

    You guys all did great.

    Now, to go vote!

    Hello everybody' date=' thank you everyone for letting me join OC remix. I can't remember how long i've been a lurker here TEE HEE HEE HEE well not on the forums that will be just perverted but i mean on the actual OC remix site itself to listen to music and stuff.

    Now that i've been making my own music for a while I recently started to make Video Game Arrangements and Remixes, etc, some of them i'd love to share with everyone and hopefully one day will be as good to host on the OC Remix website, which, if that ever happens I would be quite honoured.

    As my name implies, i'm not really a "remixer" but I love to remix tracks....I don't know how that makes any sense.....I don't use any real turntables or anything. However I do use real instruments my recordings (SOMETIMES) sometimes I do not. So I guess my username means "I'm not experienced, but I love to play."

    Please don't get worried about that statement.

    I am encouraging critiques on my upcoming remixes being posted and I know some of them may need work so I hope you guys can help me out here.

    Thank you very much and have a great day!

    ps I did not come here to advertise, I came here to enjoy making remixes of my favorite video games. I consider the dreamcast to be the god console and Sonic the Hedgehog is the best so is Mario and I like a lot of old games.

    EDIT: WTF? How did this appear above everyone elses' messages? .......LOL......[/quote']

    reverse-order messaging. You can change this in your forums settings somewhere...

    Sony PlayStation 4

    Not having PS2 compatibility did not hurt the PS3 in the long run. Not having PS3 compatibility won't hurt the PS4. The issue is that the PS4 apparently uses a totally different architecture. Soft emulation would be impossible and hard emulation would probably be WAY too expensive, so they picked the best option: don't include it.

    PS3 included some form of PS2 compatability, you just had to have a way to plug in the Dualshock 2 into the PS3 - for some reason, it was the controller that was incompatible.

    Of course I never tried this, so I don't know if it works or not
