My god, are you Brits always up til 5:00?

Actually, yes, haha. I'll be releasing a 5 track chip rock soundtrack this coming Friday, and then a few days after that, I'll be releasing about 20 tracks on another soundtrack. I've got a Yoshi's Island remix coming out on GameChops in a couple of weeks. Aaaaand Ben Briggs and I are working on another remix album. But what I really want to do next is a SNES prog album which already has a couple cool wips going for it. ecto jams are coming

ahahahahhahaha

also, a little compression on the master (totaling about 4-6 db of gain reduction with no more than that much makeup gain + a moderate to long attack and release like 30-40 and 250-400 ms respectively and a soft knee -- just as much transparency as possible) does wonders for bringing out the quiet parts of the whole mix and suppressing some of the peaks which hurt the balance of the mix. i add this compressor after my master gain reducer to bring down my rms (any plugin with a gain control works), and i usually toss it in after i've laid down the first fleshed-out part of my track. pretty early on.

bahahaha, there are some things you cannot unsee...

EEeeeee... I don't think I can part with it for $50, sorry!

Experiment. Don't confine your thought process to "this is a dubstep track" or "this is an orchestral track" unless that's specifically what you want to write. That is, unless you WANT to become a specialist or if you WANT to perfect a particular style on its own. Writing music in general is what is important. Just let it flow naturally as you write. Easier said than done, but it's what I try to do, and I'm still improving using that approach.

Gotcha. Sorry if I came of a little harsh in the thread! I'm open to talk about biochemistry and nutrition any time, so long as you're open-minded and willing to actually read the studies I cite

Head on down to IUSD, babe. I'll drill you and fill you. Mmmmm

Hey, dude. I've made a lot of changes in my life and reconsidered what's really important to me. The internet isn't the place for me anymore. I'm trying to simplify my life as much as possible and keep things at arm's length. This is what happens when I read too many books about Eastern philosophy

hi matt.

make music.

i wanna hear.

HMMMM. Actually, that's not a bad idea. I'm planning on making them into an EP a la what Ben Briggs did and uploading them onto bandcamp. Before I do that, I'd like to clean them up as I've waaay upped my production chops since then (I WILL NOT INVOKE THE MEME). Once I get some time to do that, I'll render them as both FLAC and 320k MP3s for bandcamp. I'll try to remember to let you know when I do that!

And if it's any consolation, I have an EP/album coming out within a month or two of music in the same vein as Electric Sleep :D:D:D

How about $90, free shipping?

Save battery works and everything.

My childhood games are still on there, all ready for you to rape and delete, you asshole.

I do in fact know something about blood, haha. Quite a few somethings. And that shot of me on the forums is me doing a little simulated surgery, awwww yeaaahhh.

I gotta agree with halc. You're an incredible musician, man.

I had always thought that Callum only had one 'l' in it, and I almost replied telling you that you had spelled your name wrong. Almost.

I have EB for SNES. Still wanting to buy?

i would say that whenever i post things, i end up with a net gain of subscribers

I'm not sure. I have one PM from you saying you were about to start remixing. Did you send another??

I've got them underneath my monitors now, and they do their job nicely

Just sent you a PM with the deetz ;o

Life? I'm currently spending it in a 4 hour lecture. I think that qualifies as something "special"

lose subscribers on what???

Maybe it'd be cool if I went to school at a space academy or a super hero school, buuuut...

anywayz, how's life on the Salluz front?
