Jamphibious

I've been slacking on my project mixes, but I've set a goal to finish most of my commitments by the end of the summer, so Aug 5th sounds mighty fine to me!

Oh shoot forgot about Shy Guy Falls. I haven't played any of them more than a handful of times, but it's definitely a blast.

This game is the bees knees. 150cc is whack though. Breezed through 50 and 100 but 150 just gets crazy, especially with multiple players. And that MUSIC, oh that music. I seriously need the OST. Also, what are everyones favourite tracks so far? I'm a big fan of Mount Wario, and the Electrodrome is super slick. Some reviews complained about the selection of classic tracks but I quite enjoyed them personally.

Yeah one of my local game shops had a similar deal (50% off though!) so I picked up Donkey Kong as well. Throw in Pikmin 3 and bam I just got 3 games for the price of 1.5, its a good day.

A guy I met at MAGFest just started a Kickstarter for his game Combat Core: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1518707381/combat-core-high-powered-arena-brawler Its a 4 player 3D fighting game that looks pretty cool. I approached him about making music for it, and he said he would want me to get paid before I wrote a soundtrack for him. So hey, if he reaches his goal and gets an audio budget I may have myself a composing gig If anyone is interested, check it out.

I'm picking it up on Friday as well, so gosh dang excited. I keep getting the Dolphin Shoals music stuck in my head. I'm down for an OCR tournament at some point. Oh also I thought I posted it before but its not in the first post, so my WiiU ID thinger is AmphibiousFrog if anyone wishes to add me.

Ditto on this. Shinobi III is an amazing game, one of my favourite action games. I still play it on my Genesis from time to time.

Mine still has the headphones. But honestly, the icon is so tiny that you can't even tell its a pair of headphones around a SNES controller. A newer icon that actually says OCR doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

Yaaaa, super fun rockin' soundtrack! Short but sweet, I can dig it. Keep up the awesome work man!

I love all the Knuckles raps, don't care what anyone says. Kick the Rock is my ringtone on my phone

There are plenty of classification systems out there that use the honor system. I'm sure I've been asked my skill level for various things both online and on random forms in life. Not everyone in the world will be honorable, but we don't live in a perfect world. I like the idea but I get that it would take some time and effort to code. I wouldn't be opposed to the list containing 3 levels of each instrument though like David said, honestly. It wouldn't be that big of a deal to scroll through, and for collaborations it would be nice to have at least SOME indication of what people think their skill levels are, even if they may not be 100% accurate. It'd be more accurate than just saying that I play the Trumpet without any indication at all. I'm all for it personally.

So, not a huge deal but Soundiron has a small sale on Iron Pack 3: http://soundiron.com/products/ironpack $2.99 instead of $4.99 Its cheap even at full price, and it sounds like it has some decent percussion sounds. You can never have enough percussion. *EDIT - Also a sale on their "Metal Bundle", which has a bunch of things but I haven't really looked into it. Might be worth a look though! http://soundiron.com/products/metal-bundle

I really dig this album, very groovy! One of my favourite GameChops releases for sure. Keep up the awesome work man!

I'd be down for this, I just have to think about what track to pick. I'll get on that soon!

Update! https://app.box.com/s/3o469xr4mhysnv0dufwy So, I've touched up some things, as per the suggestions in this thread. Here's what I've done: - Kick and Snare on their own mixer channels. - Improved the snare sound, I think it sounds better and more snappy now. - Brought out the kick more. - Brought down the bass instrument just a hair. - Attempted to add a bit of bass and mid presence throughout. - Altered the attack of the fake FM brass slightly. - Keyboard has slightly more presence. - "Tinny" lead around 0:41 has unison voices added with some slight detune and very minor tweaks. - Overall EQ tweaks to tone down the higher frequencies. I didn't go through to de-quantize the drums, I'm not sure if I will. While part of me does want to get some more realism out of this, I'm pretty happy with how it sounds overall. Moving forward I'll definitely consider how to get a more realistic sound for a style like this, but I'm about ready to wrap this track up and press on. Though I just subbed a mix so I'll have to wait a few weeks to sub this anyways, so please feel free to let me know of any more touch ups I could do! Thanks again to everyone, you've all been extremely helpful.

Well I guess I know how I'm spending MY day now. I've heard of some of these but daaaaaaaang that's awesome. Yeah jazz! I can't think of much to add here, some of my favourites have already been mentioned. One group I can think of is the Modern Jazz Quartet. They've got a vibraphone, which I can never get enough of myself: Also here's a random dude jamming on a Fender Rhodes, super smooth:

Wow, REALLY authentic sound on this one, excellent work! I loved that section around 1:33. Fantastic playing by everyone, and those solos were really tight. I'm extremely impressed overall. I'd love to arrange something someday for a jazz ensemble like this. Hopefully I can get around to it!

That'd be cool with me. I was planning on fixing up at least my jazz fusion-y one to submit myself (have a thread in workshop currently) so that'd be cool to put it on the album. Maybe having a few people help out with choosing which tracks would work would be good, but I dunno I'm not entirely sure how to organize it all. Seems like a good idea in general though!

I was playing this whole album while studying, and it's all super great. But man, this mix just popped out at me. I was on a huge Casiopea kick for a while and I think Tony hit the mark PERFECTLY. This was so smooth!

Haha no worries, I WILL work on it in the near future. I just had a hard drive crash on my music (only the OS though, luckily none of my important content was lost) plus I have a recital later this week to prepare for. I'll be able to devote much more time to music after that.

Ah shoot yeah I got the PM but forgot to reply. I will say that I'm still on board but don't have anything concrete yet. My final recital is on the 12th so I've been pretty busy preparing for it. As soon as that's done I'm finished school for good though so I'll be ready to get some serious music done!

Gosh dang that Rainbow Road trumpet gave me some chills. It looks sooooo smooth and stylin'.

80% cooldown reduction for all champions and no mana / energy costs, more gold and movement speed and a bunch of ridiculousness. Riot made a more detailed post about it here. Pretty hilarious.

Its gosh darn ridiculous and I love it. Won a game in 11 minutes as Ezreal (we had Sona too, OP). If Nidalee is ever not banned she'd be a fun pick. I thought All for One was the best but this is the better best.

I'm surprised my KK Fusion WIP with midi saxophone made it, but its really nice to know instantly rather than waiting so long. Kudos, judganator! Thanks for the mixpost!
