I should probably watch the news. Hope she's safe.

Yeah, my mom called me yesterday to let me know about the fire. Even though i'm about 80 miles from there.

Count me in.

Nope, we never did get married.

thank you liontamer you're awesome =] still starla, no longer a peacecraft.

this remix occured right after ffl3 talon i believe. it's ooooooold. and i wish i had time to fix it up before dc13 submitted it. but hey, if you want to listen to old stuff, ok ~starla

Do not EVER use the default instruments that come with fruity. download soundfonts, use the softsynths that come with it, use vsti synths [some of the coolest ones are free, come on], and download drum samples. but dont ever use the stuff that comes with it. i swear, gol detunes half of it on purpose to laugh at noobs. you can import -any- wav file. why do you chain yourself to the things that it comes with? the stuff it comes with sucks on purpose. so you dont use it. so dont use it. its really rather simple, but i'm tragically amazed at the amount of people that ignore this fact. ~starla

Indeed. I know Hazama isnt cheating on me... he's like mr. ubernice sweetyface lollyhappy buddy. To me, the lyrics are about like... a girl so in love with protoman.. but he is in love/lust with someone else... and she's totally lost him but is so lovesick that she's just like "let me die"... =] And i'm just getting into the part. Maybe it resembles my past.. but certainly not my future... or present. is your bf in the army/do you have evil parents or something? o_O! about the reverb::: stats are, 87% dry, 45% wet and the decay's at 1.5... i mean like ... a whole 1.5 seconds of reverb... woo.. really drowning there.... this is totally a dry mix man. the venus mix was meant to sound live and dry and had like .8 seconds of decay, but was all like demihipassed and stuff. and had a slight delay... yea. And about the review above me: i ADORE truth. thank you. it's what makes a difference in the quality, i'm totally serious. if you tell people that are crappy "hey your stuff is good," they wont try harder ... and will get all inflata-headed.. and will continue making crap. If you tell them "Hey, fix this part," they may improve or just quit. Hee.. also, just for note:: there were seriously tears in my eyes. i totally tried to emote for this ... i got some good reviews on that, and some 'no comments.' =] i'd rather hear the negative. it tells me what to work on. ~starla

Yea.. i remastered it like 40thousand times. it kept clipping.. i mean i compressed it, normalized it, tried a noise gate thingy unsuccessfully.. i cant do production that well. in the end i turned down all the instruments that werent totally having a party with volume automation.. i had to put a compressor on those [like the cello and sax] to turn them down... so yea, i had a lot of trouble mixing in the voice. it did turn out louder than the first couple [thousand] times i tried rendering it. my god, man, have you heard my awful percussion?!?! it would have ruined the song.. ahaha.. oh man. seriously, i know too little about drums, and anyway... i wanted to do a remix without them. abandon my weak spot. the lyrics frighten both haz and i. i said it's more of a love-sick song than a love song... So have you listened to the nsf? "pipples" had me laughing for a while > holy crap, that thread was alive over a week and a half talking about the LIVE HAZAMA PIANO shoutcast. we experimented this time, with a live audience... after they killed the show, wouldnt stop talking while haz was playing, and were calling me by my real name constantly.. i'm like... "Hey arent you bored" and the 'troublemaker' went home so.. its possible we'll have another 'live audience...' the main reason i was gonna have people over was so that AE and Gaffeizil could come over and 'jam' of sorts. so yea, i do a shoutcast around.. once a month or so. but it's not official ocr anything. um... it's from either http://www.bananaquarz.com or http://hammersound.net ... where free soundfonts run .. free.. of...sorts... any more alanis references,... and death will come quickly. also, before anyone asks.. http://remix.overclocked.org/includes/popups/lyrics.php?lyrics=OCR00818 additionally.. i'm not the type of person that would use someone elses vocals and then not give them credit. when i say i do it myself, i mean it... ~starla p.s. http://mp3.com/hazama

EVERYONE's posts from tuesday to like, friday, got deleted. dont think we're just mean to only you. =] can you say what your problem was again? ~starla

vsts will sometimes respond to channel pitch, this may be your only way to get them to slide until another release fixes it. ~starla

the tutorial will probably be all of this compiled, eventually, with an faq section. http://injury.enry.net/boop.html is the starts of it, at least. ~starla

Moon is the best character -ever-. this game is incredible ... and now we have a good remix to honor its name. =] thank you for not creating an atrocity. this goes up there with the best. ~starla

Yay for all the good comments! and why does everyone want me to do a marble madness remix? o_O seriously, thank you so much for the wordagery. ~starla

This is a bad remix. Every time you listen to it, god kills a kitten. or something like that. This is an example of why not to release your first remix. ~starla

This is by far my favorite ocremix... and the only one that's ever made me cry because it's so beautiful. One of the reasons i stalked hazama until he dissapeared one day. ... but hey, he came back and now i'm like whee. On another note, there's another version of the pop-up remix with ultra bass. It may not be techno, people.. it may not be happy, even. But it is truly a work of art... that should not be ignored. Thank you, Hazama, for making this wonderfully touching piece a remix to love and cherish forever. ~starla p.s. http://mp3.com/hazama <~ grab "filtered memories.." but only after you get "not enough pancakes."
