Ivan Hakštok

I'm in. 10 chars.

PS1 Crash Bandicoot and Spyro series.

Well me and Brandon have been asking for a Star Ocean month for quite a while, I think this is the closest we'll get. Also, a composer month gives me hope we'll see a Mitsuda month somewhere in the future!

Happy birthday

Songs are up! 26 mains and 2 alts

I can join tonight to drop a word or two about the Futbol EP if you still want that

I'm available tonight if there's a Talkback.

Did someone say happy vgm?

My schedule is very flexible, so I'll be able to make it regardless of the time/date. I'd prefer it to be an hour or two earlier though, but the current time is fine.

Song fade-in and fade-out, the only time I ever touch the master fader.

Two of the first advice I ever got for making music were 1) always use a limiter and 2) never adjust the master fader. From the quick read trough this thread, I think your problem lies in the mixing stage. The best practice is to mix individual tracks/instruments so that you have enough headroom left (I personally mix such that I get around 6db headroom on the master channel), then apply the finalizing steps on the entire mix (EQ-compression-limiting) to get the loudness up to the preferred level (in my case, -0.3dB and around -9 RMS). Limiting will kill your dynamics on the master channel only if the track is going over or pretty close to 0db all the time, which again implies you should do changes in the mixing stage. Also, another piece of advice: don't take shortcuts. Moving the master fader IS NOT the same as adjusting every mixer fader. And normalizing is not a solution as it is the same as adjusting the master fader, and there is a lot more that influences the loudness other than the volume of the highest peak.

With all due respect to ocremix and all the awesome people here and all the awesome albums, Creid is my favorite remix album of all time

Hahaha jebote više nisam jedini Hrvat tu! Welcome

Hello, I'd like to change my username to my actual name (I wanted to do this for quite a while but always postponed it xD) So, "Ivan Hakštok", or "Ivan Hakstok" if the š is not supported by the forums. Thanks in advance!

Aawwwwwyeaaaaaaah it's out! I'd like again to thank everyone who contributed! And who knows, we may do another one for the next World Cup in 4 years. I hope listeners will enjoy it, keep the ball rolling and keep the world full of music!

Started working for me, even though I didn't do anything o_O

No problems on Firefox, and it's there in the page source on Chrome, just not displaying: <div class="smallfont" id="logininfo"> <!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info --> <div class="smallfont"> <strong>Welcome, <a href="member.php?u=43292">hakstock</a>.</strong>. <a href="private.php">Private Messages</a>: Unread 0, Total 220. </div> <!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info --> </div>

Chrome on Windows

I don't see it either.

Well you should've suggested that back when I asked for name suggestions. No changing now

Heyo, here's a remix I did for Punchfest 19: Youtube: Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/haki-1/panchi-no-fesu The entire thing was done in less than 6 hours, and I had to record guitars in 2 hours because my roommate went to sleep. Hope you like it! EDIT: Forgot the sources: - intro, verse, chorus - bridge

This sounds really good! That Journey to Silius stage 1 remix is probably my favorite.
