I'm down. We should meet in Indianapolis! I think we have laser tag or some shit somewhere here?? Now you all want to come.

Assuming a truly normal distribution of intelligence, half of all people are of below average intelligence; half of all people have an IQ below 100. That pretty much constitutes a majority, thus shit like "Yooz a stoopid hooo" gets stupid popular.

Hey, you're interrupting our shit talk.

halc was one of the "prominent remixers" to whom I was referring when I said that using MIDI clearly hasn't held some people back very much

I'm not talking shit because I only know how to poop shit. That's seriously the most clever thing I could think of. On behalf of all the witty things ever said, I apologize for that.

Yep, that's generally why I go the ear-route, too. I'm not terribly good at just pasting the MIDI and making alterations. I'd rather "accidentally" make the alterations by misremembering how the tune goes or mistranscribing it just a bit. What a black and white world you live in... have you ever simply "disagreed" without informing the poor, ignorant, subservient third party that they are "wrong?"

Cool, but I didn't say the two were connected.

50% of the time it's off the top of my head, 40% of the time, I load an mp3 into the project file and do it by ear, and 10% of the time I use a MIDI. For some people, I know they do their best work with MIDIs, but for whatever reason, things turn out the best for me when I just kinda wing it based upon how I remember the source sounding. In case anyone's been keeping track of my Wily Remix Thing music, I did Electric Sleep and Groove, Swing, March off the top of my head, and I used a MIDI for Current Events which, ironically, was by far the simplest of the 3 Wily sources. And to whoever says MIDI is a crutch: it is only if you let it be one. I know for a fact that a few prominent remixers here use MIDIs in just about every remix they have done, yet they don't struggle to write interesting, musically complex originals. So what's so crutch-y about it if it saves time and doesn't hold back your musical development?

Ah, I may not remix this week :[ neither of these sources are really grabbing me. NEXT WEEK! i'll do it for "the people"

Is there a synonym for "agree" that also connotes dangerous and unfathomable sexual arousal?

I DECLARE: Musically speaking, I've totally lost focus over the past several weeks, so I believe I shall be doing this PRC thing fairly regularly for a while I'll either start next round or the one after, school permitting.

I mean... we had like 7 source tunes and they were all in different time signatures. So yeah, I totally won't pare down that number at all!

I wish you a sour birthday, Mr. Lemon. And to anosou, I wish you Another Birthday.

Umm, yeah. This album is awesome. I can't believe I missed it when it came out...

I remember opening one of your OHC tracks like a year ago and almost shitting my pants when I saw it was over 5 or 6 minutes long. AND IT WAS PRETTY GOOD, TOO. I'll definitely check out your bandcamp musix

ME GUSTAN SONG OF TIME AND FAIRY FOUNTAIN. Time to make a badass concept track.

Sweeeeet. Awesome choices for new workshop mods!

Yes, quite frequently. I create the music that I want to hear. Why not listen to it? Hell, I listen to the old ones, too. It's great to hear how far I've come.

Oh no, I forgot "Dreaming on Distant Shores" by Rellik. Probably my favorite piece of music. Ever.

Sorry, I don't speak Hebrew, but I did catch "rellik" in there. Yes, please. I was being entirely too lazy when I typed my response. Had I expounded upon what little I said, my response probably would have been just about the same as Pete's here. OCR isn't a tunnel for the individual remixer nor a vacuum for the listener. The dynamic between the stars and the aspiring stars is fantastic. Where else can you get a professional composer to listen to your music, critique it, and explain how to fix it *all for free*? You god damn people have been so helpful...

1. Attention, tribute, practicing chops (DON'T SAY IT.), attempting to integrate further into the community, experimentation, so forth. 2. I do it because I love the end product. Creating a piece of music is already the shit. Creating something that is peripherally your own while nostalgic and familiar at its core is the shit2x.

Oh god... welp, I listen to most of my music in my car since I have a nasty commute to and from school (rush hour both ways, at that), so I don't have an apparent count anywhere. If I had to guess, I'd say it'd be the following in no particular order: May I Have This Swords Dance? -- PROTO(dot)DOME Cosmic Transformations -- Adhesive_Boy Great Job -- Insert Rupee Sinking Deeper -- halc Probably something by Joshua Morse Eclectic Sweep -- ectogemia (IT'S COMIN' UR WAY, OCR. FIRST SUBMISSION WOOOOOOOOOO)

Me neither.

I was too busy making love to Pete I mean Phonetic Hero I mean my bitch in the next room. It happens.
