    EDIT: please delete this thread. It's all good in the hood now. =/

    *Note 1: If pics are needed please let me know and I'll get them*

    *Note 2: thread can be deleted/locked/whatever as soon as I get a good answer. not looking for a discussion just good advice and suggestions*

    *NOTE 3: sorry if in wrong subforum. please move to the correct place*

    question: Can anybody recommend a great lap top geared specifically for heavy recording usage and video editing around $800 or less USD?

    Here's my current set up

    laptop: http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15-n5030/pd

    interface: http://tascam.com/product/us-144mkii/

    external hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148503&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Hard+Drives+-+External-_-Seagate-_-22148503

    extra hardware/gear/stuff that use up my laptop's power: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665774418

    and a typical Targus chill mat (USB powered) but i can't find a link

    OS: Windows 7 64bit

    Main Programs frequently used: SONAR x1 (daw)

    Adobe cs5 Premiere and Aftereffects, Photoshop 7

    google chrome :<

    this is what I'm choosing so far. not a computer person, i just know that more RAM and GB and a higher processor speed is "good."

    concerning why i'm not just considering a desktop? I'm intrigued by Prophetik's custom builds because apparently many people say he's the shit,

    but I'd like to stick with mobile, lap top recording for the next year or so (until I move into a better place with more room).

    duuuuude.... it's always hard to find the right words to give props to remixes like this. but this pretty much sums it up nicely:

    bLiNd is my Hero!! >;D thought i should point that out here ;P The work he does is just so Bloody amazing.. N freaking Fantastic!! being a fan of his sort of work/music/skills I get chills

    man. don't know if it's intentional but i'm getting images of a rave scene at a club while listening to this and all the clicks and pops and gasps are from people popping open a few drinks, slamming their glasses on the table in sync to the beat, and saying "ah! that was good."

    Did you guys notice that Concrete Man shares a color scheme with OC ReMix?

    Also, let's get some badass album art.

    BLOOD ON THE CONCRETE

    CONCRETE OF THE LIFESTREAM

    CONCRETE + GEARS

    SERIOUS CONCRETE BUSINESS

    Make it happen, photoshoppers!

    Like this? XD

    How about this?

    Hold up! Ya'll forgot about me?

    Concrete Man on this mp3

    OverClocked ReMix left me off the mix list

    Now I'm just one pissed overlooked remix

    Top boss like Tha Sauce

    Owning noobs like brentalfloss

    "I'm sorry"'s a lost cause

    Once ya got this 'bot crossed

    Back in blue? Well I'm here in grey

    Call me Big C, and I'm here to stay

    My Concrete Shot's more than ya got

    Frozen in place, prepare to get body dropped

    WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM as a result of my Stone Hands

    You're just mad I crushed your Mr. Perfect plans

    You mad, bro? I turn Magma to stone

    The socket's been Plugged and the Galaxy's been overthrown

    Your Tornado blows and your Jewels aren't protective

    And your Splash attack's not very effective

    Your Hornets can't sting and break me apart

    I'm gonna bury you like a pile of E.T. carts

    The Big C EP of Restitution

    Remembering me is your new resolution

    Concrete Man, now you won't forget me

    Leave me off the album? Can the judges, DJP!

    ...or something like that. I was really bored at work today, haha!

    Somebody get Random aka Mega Ran to record that Concrete Man rap for us.

    EDIT: oh yeah or the Bronx Rican would def work too!

    yo yo yo yoooooo!!! this stuff right here is tight. don't want to overhype or be unrealistic because I know yo're pressing for time, but are you guys going to make a single or an EP? just listened through some of the stuff in this thread and read them boss-status lyrics and it seems like there's way too many awesome stuff here to just submit one song.:)!!

    regardless, i'm really looking forward to whatever happens with this.

    when i read that concrete man thing in the trailer i was like "wha?... i don't get it:?"

    props for the new video concepts/designs

    That's all José's brilliance, we have nothing to do with that. :lol:

    The idea of album-exclusive videos isn't brand new though: http://www.youtube.com/ocremix#g/p

    The main video update isn't the most pressing issue right now, but José's definitely been working on some ideas, so hopefully we'll roll with a new version relatively soon.

    must lurk more:ocrgreen:

    then again i usually go to the project sites instead of yt to listen to them.

    still looks cool, so i'll go drop props on his channel then. :)!!

    EDIT: nevermind. the gitaroo remix is fine, i'd just be adding parsley to a pb&j sandwich if I edited it anymore. thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. =/

    Depends on the type of edit we're talking about. If it's a little thing here and there that isn't changing anything drastically, we'd probably be inclined to take it, but we'd rather that the track be finished when you send it in. Anything that's more than a minor change isn't gonna work for us, because it would have to be re-judged. Feel free to ask us on a specific track if you really want to do a change, if nothing else we say NO (see what I did there?).

    Resubs are exempt from the 3-week rule, albeit I know I'd be personally less inclined to vote on your stuff if you submit 5 resubs and a new mix at once :)

    thanks, I'm pretty sure this won't become a habit in the future. I'm most likely way too anxious to get it "perfect" because it's my first mix.:)!!

    I'm just going to clarify/back up what the other Js said.

    Jordanius: Seems like you want to revise Gitaroo Man... again? If the changes aren't drastic, we don't need to revote. If they are a major overhaul, like your past major overhaul, we'd need to revote. At some point, I'd call it a wrap if I were you, BUT it's your arrangement, so if you need to do some more to get it where you need it, that's fine, just keep us in the loop by mailing the judges about how it's going. Just reply to our previous conversation from the judges mailbox and I'll see it.

    yessir, but definitely not a massive overhaul this time. I just want to add brass chords to the very, very end. Do I need to redo the submission form and userID and all that stuff, or just notify a judge and email the new edit?

    Two questions. the first one might be rhetorical and a waste of space, but maybe one of you will have an awesome answer for it:

    1) When BP had that horrible spill a while back, was it just oil that leaked or was hatorade seeping out, too? It seems like it's been leaking around here a bunch, particularly on the Remix Review Threads...:roll:

    2) How many times can we re-edit a mix that has been "Yes'd" but hasn't officially been posted yet?

    And do we have to wait the 3-week interval before re-submitting the mix and submitting another, unrelated mix, or does that re-sub (with the fixes) count as one of the standard submissions?

    (I'm talking about #2 in Section 7 over here)

    OCRA-0026 - NiGHTS: Lucid Dreaming

    in Album Reviews & Comments

    Posted

    yo, I rarely ever write reviews/critiques for anything because I think it's up to each individual to interpret it their own way; but I had to lay down some massive props for this album.

    I'll try not to come across as cock-riding [to any particular artist], incoherent, or Caps-lock abusive. :<

    My first major props is for the overall flow of the album. I'm writing this on my third listen of the full project and I really dig the sequences and transitions.

    When I saw the artist roster I knew it would be awesome regardless but I was extremely impressed with how smoothly each song segued.

    It wasn't at all like "cool, here's a chiptune bit... oh, cool now a jazz bit;" it was like watching a well-scripted movie where each scene led to the next.

    Second, I absolutely hated this game (too much Sonic and Vectorman?), and yet I loved the original soundtrack;

    You all did a flawless job in making each arrangement unique while still capturing that "dreamy" theme.

    I love it when musicians make arrangements so good that it encourages listeners to check out the original;

    so I just may give the game another try.

    Lastly, the motifs and project themes were super slick and witty.

    The "Dreams Dreams" signature never gets old.

    I was actually sad at the end of the album because I still had the melodies ringing in my head.:-D

    I was surprised that I didn't just bob my head but I also got goosebumps for several parts of the album.

    Yo, I guess I didn't realize what amazing talent OCR had because after listening to this album several times I definitely appreciate the musicians here so much more (and the whole community in general).

    Not that my opinion makes a difference but I give this a 10 billion out of 10;

    and super kudos for the "guest appearance" at the ending from a certain veteran NiGHTS remixer...

    Well its better than the terrible Sonic 4 soundtrack, but its just some very lazy remixes really so far.

    The Modern Green Hill Zone "WAH wah WAH" sound for the main instrument is bizarre.

    And is that really Autotuned City Escape? Geez

    Passable I suppose, and that's sadly a huge improvement for Sega's quality as of late.

    dude, that beat goes hard.

    and the ska green hill zone goes even harder.
