Hey there everyone! I've recently released my first album, "Prototype: Freedom". It's ten tracks of heavy/prog/game/pop/folk/post rock music created for your delight. Mostly with vocals. It can be streamed or downloaded at my website, http://thiagoschiefer.com If anybody here wants to jump straight to the game-ish instrumental track, go here: http://soundcloud.com/tschiefer/g-tterd-mmerung Cheers!

Ok, this isn't very game-ish, but as VGM has always been a major influence in my work, you people might find something hidden in this vocal song: or http://soundcloud.com/tschiefer/rays-on-the-water It is the single for my upcoming album, to be digitally released next month. In the full-length thing there's a very very game-ish instrumental rock piece, which I'll post here when it's released. Every comment is welcome!

Thanks! I'm gonna check that out. Does anyone else have another opinion or tip? =)

I found out I had over-boosted some bass frequencies... here it is once again! Also modified stuff based on some of the advices Guifrog has given me =) (now it's on TinDeck... it seems FireSlash's server is down) So, waiting for more tips!

[2]. Highly interested.

! I'll try out these hints, thanks! Does anyone find the mix "muddy"? It sounds so in my hi-fi, but not in my monitors... that's pretty odd, ain't it? And I don't know how to fix that...

Hey there! Do you plan on recording the acoustic guitar also?

Thanks! But I didn't fully understand 2 of your points: What do you mean by "oomph"? Should I bring up the low end? (I'm not really a pro at mixing, hehe) When you say "backwards", you're talking about the boost in low and low-mid frequencies? Should I EQ the guitars with more focus on the highs?

Thank you very much for the kind words

It's been some time, but I've finally been able to mix this song again - now with good equipment. I think it still needs adjustments, so I'd be really happy to get some feedback on it. Thanks in advance!

Hey! There's a brazilian VGM contest going on called Game Music Brasil, in which I'm competing with a song called The Alliance. I would highly appreciate if you people could take a listen and vote it!

(="vote"). Each and every feedback would also be greatly appreciated, especially if you find mixing/production issues (I know there are some, this was my first attempt with good quality monitors). And that's it! Thank you all very much

Just replied via PM

Might be something like this: If anybody wants to rework this, I can send the .psd file EDIT: maybe a bit smaller...

If anybody needs lead guitars or tenor vocals, I can collab

Hey, Tenor vocals & guitars here! You can listen to my stuff at http://www.youtube.com/user/tbschiefer =)

I don't know if you're saying this because I asked about 2 unclaimed tracks... but if that's the matter, I've alredy talked to the project director and she said she's still open for takers - all I'm asking is one shot at those songs. If they don't come off ok until the deadline (September 1st for finished WAVs, right?), no problem, but I'm really willing to try

Do you think headphones officially made for monitoring (like the 240s) offer good results with mixing?

Does anyone know which song in the Alter F OST matches Omen of Ostracism and The Sky is Being Torn Apart?

Thanks!

I'm reading the topic slowly 'cause it has tons of great info... but I'd like to drop a question about hardware: what do you guys think about M-Audio's Fast Track Pro? Is it possible to do nice sounding mixes using that soundcard and pro headphones like AKG k702 (which I'm planning to buy soon)?

Hey! If there's still time, I'd like to help in some way! I can contribute with electric guitar (solo/rhythm), bass and tenor vocals, and I can also arrange The Sky Is Being Torn Apart rock-style (maybe using Omen of Ostracism as an intro). The one thing I can't really do is mixing, 'cause I still don't have good enough gear for that. As an example of my work, there's this Chrono Cross' Scars of Time rock arrangement I did (it didn't get past the judges here because of the poor mixing): Hope there's still room for another one !

Oh gosh, where re my manners? Thank you very much SuperSlacker! I'm trying to rework the mix, I guess it's starting to get better. Unfortunately I don't have monitors (they're pretty expensive in Brazil), so it's dificult to get good results with my consumer speakers...

Hey! The song is Chrono Cross' opening theme in rock style. I've submitted this last year but got NO'd, and I don't really know how to get it sounding "pro" enough. I could really use some help. http://www.4shared.com/audio/wfi4DD-u/scars_of_time.html Soooooo... waiting for tips, opinions and the like (This is my first post in the WIP board, hope everything's alright)
