Man I did not see that! thanks and thanks mods XD

http://soundcloud.com/aires/air3s-long-walk A couple of mixing mistakes that actually make this track sound good imo :/

yes string dem = them;

I dont not use massive alot, I use sylenth 1 and fm8 more often, but in this song I used massive for one sound because I did not want to patch something in fm8 and route LFO the bass sound saw was with sylenth1 and the wobble lead was massive

that is the name

Im uploading another version that fixes the main problem I have with 2 mixes, alot of you guys will not notice the problem.

1. Fucking pancakes! 2. Dont make me repeat myself child.

I kinda disagree about using other midi's as bad practice.....Arranging, workflow, and production wise. Especially if your learning how to put together a type of piece or a new type of song/style. But If he is trying to say he wants to learn music and music theory then I agree with both posts below about learning theory and aural trainning, maybe learning to read sheet notation(I did ;|) if he wants to and not just learning scales and modes. midi recycle is alright for tricks, but definatly not a must for learning music. Just my tiny opinion, but pretty much everyone summed this up.

http://soundcloud.com/aires/blue-streak-speeds-by-air3s Very rushed Darn cubase did not let me see my tape sat vst X I might run this through a cassete then in to ableton because I dont think I like what the vst did to my mids and high ends

Thats complextro for yah man I wish I got the loudness right the first time ; /

I agree with a few other posts, the Dizi and the strings (maybe its the patch you used), sound very robotic and dynamics seem very flat imo (unless thats what your aiming then it still sounds cool) The verb your using sound very colored/low quality The drum (you know I LOVE drums like cereal,programming,guitars,amps, etc...) are FLAT, try to compress the drums abit and experiment with verb because verb can change the sound of a drum. Then depending on what you think, try experimenting with panning the drums or leaving them center. For the gong maybe a pan to the left of right is better then automating it since you want a realistic sound because I dont think gongs are moved while they are hit.

Too bad8) besides the "too short" part, I cant loop it, I think I lost the ableton file

Thanks Guys!

This thread was answered like 2 or 3 pages ago..

He means the tab them self.

http://soundcloud.com/aires/super-monkey-ball-3-ice-cave Soundcloud for discription Made this in like a hour. I know very late 80s/90s chicago like but bear with me, I grew up on that stuff : /

Speaking of PG, I just learnt how to play this I cant feel my fingers.

I agree, this sound awsome but the rhythm guitars sound full but lacking with low end and low mids at the sametime <-- my expression But that me, maybe you already like the mix as it is. Definatly submit this, but im not sure how long it would take for ocr judges to get to you ; (

Yes This!, Demo EVERYTHING YOU CAN. Even the crap people hate on could be something you like! just keep your mind open and try everything.....EVERYTHING. Music is not cheap, but you sometimes have to save and spend to get what you desire. Here is a short major DAW list Cubase Ableton Protools Logic Sonar Nuendo FL Studio Sony Acid Reaper Offtopic line----------------------- #TeamCubaseFTW

Maybe its your opinion that its bad, not everybody will have the same issues as another person. just saying. But why dont we just tell op to tell his friend to demo DAWs that can be trialled....and not play favorites.....

I know I read, Protools midi is not as bad as people say, especially if he plans on getting a midi keyboard. If you wana see bad look at homestudio 2004, I wrote alot of midi on my remixes on this site for concept and for actual use. I think its all up to prefrence. Also Imo Abletons vst quality for some plugins is ASS...in my opinion tho

Im with this guy If he is super serious about composing music then he would get "PROTOOLS 9" It also has Notation view as well; Midi is not that much of a pain in the ass, hell its way better then abletons and I still can make stuff like this http://soundcloud.com/aires/black-ops-valhalla and this http://soundcloud.com/aires/old-reflection-entry I use Ableton Live 8 and Cubase 5 (about to get 6 when my other pc comes in) and for notation I use "CakeWalks Home Studio 2004" (yah I know its old as hell but guess what? IT WORKS GREAT FOR ME). But If he plans to go into Big times studios,OTB Mix,or Go nuts with hardware mixers or consoles in the future, then definatly tell him to pick up "Protools" 9 or "Cubase 6" and if he has a mac then try out "Logic",it rocks. (he may need to by a protools ready interface but im sure they made version 9 avalible without the need of a interface!). Protools feels like Ableton to me, unparalleled audio editing and routing capabilites and a great recording tool; not to forget to mention they both look cool . The learning curve for both daws are a little mild but when you look at some tutorials (and even BOOKS/MANUALS!), he will feel right at home. but this is just my opinion, GOOD LUCK! ;p Offtopic** BTW CAN ANYBODY ANALOG SUM? OR WANT TO SELL ME AN A/D CONVERTER SO I CAN START SUMMING, I GOT SOME RACK GEAR FROM A FRIEND WHO WHATS TO BUY NEW EQUIPMENT AND REPLACE STUFF.

Thank you on the responce.For a while I've been(eqing) making sure my bass sounds come in very clear in my rock,orcha, and jazz mixes and kinda manually compressing transients incase my compressor does not catch it, but it never felt a diffrence from flat basses unless it was a double bass or a cello. I read a lot of mixing note awhile ago and listened to a lot of diffrent music but I just could not find a diffrence. Maybe its just me

Does the dynamics of a bass really matter on soft or agressive passages for most type of music. I'm thimking no because it really low support making it sound full(very important) and having diffrent sounds For any type of bass type intrument is a plus, but for a solo peice for bass it could be very diffrent(like how hard you pluck,bow,pick,slap your bass) So any thoughts?
