This was probably really tough to write. I gotta give props to you two for stringing together these distorted textures so well. Great work.

That's not what I even meant. Read it again. You need to stop correcting people in such a blunt way. It's like an obsession. A bad habit. Why do I still need to tell you this? (because I care)Again, Shreddage 2 is the heading on the ISW website that when clicked, leads to the page with a list of bundles pertaining to Shreddage 2 as the main product with other products that sensibly can be associated with it. It's simply a list of options for people to buy in certain combinations that best fits their needs, financially or otherwise. There's no need to make it more complicated or pretend I said something like "umbrella family". Saying a page contains a list of products doesn't mean I said that it's a family of products (even though they're all quite related).

Seriously, I never said the product itself was a bundle, I said it, under the dropdown menu on the website, leads to a page with a list of bundles. Clear difference between saying that and saying it is a bundle in itself.

That's exactly what I already said, except Shreddage 2, as listed under the dropdown menu in the website, is presented as a list of bundles. ._. Calm down.

How does that work?

Some great stuff on here! I didn't know you played piano!

Right, the bundle on the "Shreddage 2" page is the latest, most up-to-date version of Shreddage with Shreddage 2X (Lead/Rhythm), Classic (mostly Rhythm), and Bass. "Shreddage Complete" is an older version that you already get with the bundle (involving Shreddage 2), as "Shreddage Classic". (If you had bought Shreddage 2X already, but not Shreddage Classic yet, the "Shreddage Classic Expansion" could be bought)

Quick history of Shreddage: [shreddage -> Shreddage X] -> [Shreddage 2 -> various Shreddage 2.# -> Shreddage 2X] The samples from the second version of Shreddage (called Shreddage X) were worked into the Shreddage 2X engine, and the package named Shreddage Classic. The "Shreddage Classic Expansion" seems to be the name of this on the website, to differentiate from Shreddage 2 and to emphasize that it's available as an added diversity component (different guitar model, as in the video). "Shreddage Complete" includes Shreddage (the very first version, ever, with the first scripting engine made for Shreddage in the first place) and Shreddage X (the expansion of the original, that came right after), and the package with both is available under the heading of "Shreddage 1" in the dropdown menu on the website. This is with the old, first scripting engine. "Shreddage 2" includes, like you said, Shreddage 2(X), Shreddage Classic (Shreddage X implemented into the Shreddage 2X engine), and Shreddage Bass (which has remained as it has always been since its initial release), and is available under the heading of "Shreddage 2" in the dropdown menu on the website. Shreddage 2X, as I've seen it in newsletters, is the naming zircon decided on after several patch updates to Shreddage 2 and the finalization of the skin/wallpaper of the second, new, better scripting engine. This is the newest one, and the package essentially includes all that Shreddage Complete had, but is more uniform with the new engine from Shreddage 2X. You'd get two different guitars and one bass, and one guitar is built for Rhythm and not so much for Lead (Classic), and one is built for Lead but can also do Rhythm very well (2X).

Depends on if you want more diversity; Shreddage 1 (Classic) and 2 (2X) were each sampled using different guitar models; there's a comparison here:

These are all great libraries, so I think you should check out the demos before making presumptions. =P (I know, because I have more than half of them)

Hm... okay, I've thought about it some more, and I decided, yeah, I'm not really feeling inspired here, so I'm gonna drop my claim. Sorry! Maybe next time. I usually prefer to just come up to a project and see what seems like something I would like to try.

Nice, it has a playful charm to it. I thought the piano was a little bit dry, but other than that, you did a great job here!

If I could nitpick a few things, I'd say the guitar-playing is a little bit stiff, and the soundscape could have been filled out a bit more at 0:36 - 1:06. Other than that, it sounds pretty good! Seems to loop at 1:39.

Let's gooooooo Jordan!

Yeah, I'm definitely getting that Guaraldi feel, especially because I've played "Linus and Lucy" before as a kid, and it evokes this kind of mood. Easy to like. Great playing! Keep it up!

What? http://www.obtusemusic.net/OCR_Christmas/aoccv8.htm

Hm... I feel like there's some low-mids missing in this. You do have a bass, but it's so sustained that at some point I forget it's there. Also, at 2:17, I think you have the room to add something to fill some empty space, and filter out a little of the solo lead's low-mids (which could compensate if you add a pad, for example). That would make it sound fuller than the downtempo sections and enhance the dynamics a bit more; for some reason the solo lead doesn't quite sit right in the stereo field IMO.

That's one SLAMMIN' album! (( \(]V_V[)/ ))

The mixing sounds very narrow; the intro harp has a weird fluttering in the tone and has a lot of frequency content in the low-mids. The violin is also very out of tune... why? The mix as a whole just sounds too lofi.

Gregorian chaaaaaaant

All my remixes are open season for ya!

Nice, it reminds me of Ken's theme. That guitar feels kinda PRS-like. Dat fakey brass

I have a feeling she'll DJP soon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's clear as day bro, Mike is joking
