Still up for co-directing this, but I think this is a better and more recent example than that old second example of my own EDM.

Where is my comment on this? D: I guess I downloaded it before I heard it or somethin'. 'Nuff said.

Maybe there's a memory leak. Are all the unused pointers deleted before termination of the coding? If a pointer is leftover and unusable, it had already allocated memory that is now inaccessible, and that memory goes toward the available memory. Those threads loaded for me, though, and I'm just on Safari on an iPad 2.

I think I remember hearing this before. Nice job! I agree that the piano breakdown could have been filled out a bit more, perhaps with a pad or an arp-playing ambient bell. Drums got a tad lost. Otherwise, great take on a classic theme!

Let's rawk it tonight! *tonite

The lead synths sound a tad retro to me, but I think they fit well. Sounds kind of like "Turrimann"! Solid work, guys!

Shadi Duel and Level 1 Duel. P.S. I think Dave makes sense

Yeah, it sounds like latency issues to me. Quite simply, you may need a faster computer.

You could probably learn a lot about generic synthesis from u-he's Zebra Mini-Tutorials. Otherwise I'm actually working on one for OCR. Sounds go well together generally when you don't have to EQ much to make them fit, but it's not a guarantee.

I think it's fine. It's good for that small size, and it emphasizes that the R is capitalized.

The first remix I heard of from OCR was on OCR, so I didn't really hear any without realizing it was distributed by OCR. My first was http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01235

I agree with Gario. The piano sticks out the most, IMO, as it's both mechanical and reverb-less. The instruments are also all competing for attention. It sounds like all velocities are completely flat, and although synthesizers aren't necessarily expected to sound realistic (unless it's a synthesized supposedly organic instrument), having natural velocity variation would help them to not sound machine-gun. It may be a good exercise to learn a little piano so you can get some insight into how velocities might naturally flow. If you pay attention to how heavily your fingers press on a keyboard for each note (and it is not exactly the same nor negligible in the differences for each finger), you should eventually be able to think about it while you're sequencing and do velocities while you're writing. Note that when I say "not exactly the same", it implies the velocities should be different, but when I say "nor negligible in the differences", it implies the velocities shouldn't be too drastically different (otherwise it would be "pulsing").

It's actually only 16x16 pixels, so having it in the logo's font might be too blurry for that low-low-res quality. Maybe if the gradients were toned down, it could work, though the diagonals in the C and R may pose a problem.

I think it's just 'try not to "hog" a mod', but that's what I recall. Not really more than a guideline, IIRC.

For me, the soundscape sounds basic/vanilla. I don't hear much expression-controller action going on.

We kinda have.

I wouldn't be opposed to posting it, but I would be fine with recycling some of the ideas within the track to write a variation on that track. Good source of inspiration when lacking inspiration. This (despite being used) was recycled to make this.

I was pleasantly surprised at how different this was from what halc and Emu said. I didn't think it was plodding at all, and I thought the dynamics were well-executed. If you imagine this placed into a suspense context, it rises and falls pretty well.

/rant Kind of a dark way to look at the world, and unnecessarily sorta on the apocalyptic level, but somewhere in there, it makes sense. In other words, loops are fine.

You have to reopen the browser completely; I just did.

Wholly yours, as in you didn't just buy it and use it exactly like it was. i.e. if it was wholly yours, you'd have written it yourself or synthesized it from scratch, among other methods. Think of a shoe factory / shoe cobbler analogy. Maybe that can be interpreted in other ways, but that's what I mean. I really only use drum loops, and I try to just use them to gain the context unless I'm strapped for time.

Best wishes to him.

I guess not starting from what is wholly yours, or taking an "easier" way out?

=P Presets are fine, as long as they fit in context. Otherwise, how would synth sound designers like me make money?
