I actually just ordered one of berklee's books, so hopefully it's helpful as well.

Little off topic, but I think someone had prior knowledge of VocalClockedRemix.

I thought all Tetris remixes were banned?

I think he's trying to convey that he likes originality, and HATES when meaningless pop-y generic vocals "corrupt" otherwise great tracks.
...also, I just read that story, and... it's scary. It's scary what we can become, and what we can make you children become. Mind you, it's only a hypothetical, but I believe it could happen, the neglect I've seen these days by parents.

It's not bad, in fact I mostly like it, except for two things:
1. Still very random/mixed up/spontaneous. I'm not saying you shouldn't have variation, just, making it progress in a more structured way may help.
2. (minor) it sounds like the first little glitchy sound (around :08 in) is kind of loud? It sounded a little like clipping to me, at least.

what kind of genre are you looking for? Something chiptune-like, or more modern RPG tunes?
-
(trying to contain excitement here) April? I think I can do this, yes.

I sent you an audition for djembe player, as I noticed you had no percussion yet.
-
You bet there is
Gotcha on the list. Get me a WIP as soon as you canI'll try for the end of next weekend, I'm usually busy during the week.

Is there room for me to have the "Future" track?

If it sounds good, ocr doesn't care if it came from fart samples or a live recording of a virtuoso playing the most expensive instruments ever in an actual concert hall. if it sounds good, it sounds good.
Old drum machine sounds are used a lot in electronic music, tho nowadays they're typically layered with other samples for a bigger, harder, or otherwise different sound. A remix that only uses old drum machine sounds for its drums would probably have to be made in an 80s early 90s style for the sounds to fit together.
As for the drum writing, you can make blocky, pattern-y, repetitive drums with any drum samples, and it'll still be blocky, pattern-y, and repetitive, just like you can write intricate, varied, human drums with any samples. A jazz band track should usually have more human drums than a hard electronic track, and some variations and fills will work better in some styles than in others. Ultimately, it's just supposed to sound good.
^This. It's kinda hard to avoid these drum sounds on a tight budget, they are everywhere now. Unless you want some killer studio chops as a bundle deal. Oh wait...

The Great Suicide of 2012
Everyone's leaving
More like the Rapture of OCR.
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear you lost interest, even though I just got here and barely know you. I hope you are successful in whatever you decide to do.

...thats not a bad idea. How do I do that?
It's gotta be dubstep, make it real generic, or just steal someone else's song, then add some samples in form the show, maybe lower the BPM, put a new drum track over it. You can't sell it, but it should promote your channel enough for your other stuff. Profit!

I love it. It's great to see the (the sequel to the) first proper game I ever played getting some love. I must say, you can still hear th original song in there, which is good. Far too many remixes sound completely different, and while they are often awesome (especially on this site), sometimes you just want to hear a little different take on the track. The style is perfect for listening to in a dimly lit room, later in the evening (which just happens to be where I'm sitting right now). The voice in the background is odd and funny; "silly ideas start coming into your head anyway, and I just start listening to yellow submarine, yeah." HILARIOUS. The mixing and mastering sounds good to me, the sound is nicely proportioned considering what the song is trying to do. I love it!

Even though there's an NDA?
Dammit, I just saw that shortly after I posted. I guess I should READ next time instead of getting excited over the next big mmo, huh?

doublepost blahblahblah BETA SIGNUPS OPEN FOR A LIMITED TIME
Damnit, I was just about to post this.

Loving the closed beta footage and news. This WILL be pre-ordered, the day I can pre-order it.

I recently got Into LoL, and decided that I'm proud of my skills enough to post here. My In-game username is Crosing2000 (big surprise there). I've decided to play differend characters systematically, play one till I am fairly competent , move on to another (but still refresh my skills with that character occasionally) until I have a fair lineup of heroes.
-
-Release a djimbe sample library
-Have my album half done (currently in planning phase)
-do at least 5 Remixes
-Post more on OCR
-Spend less money on whatever mojang makes
yeah... not too many.

Well, 2011 was a good year for me, I started really getting into music creation, and it looks like 2012 will be even better! I will be sure to become more involved here, as opposed to just lurking.
-
been reviewing some with only a few reviews, and updated my post with three new reviews. Woo!
-
Wow, this is a very dark mix. It's in a good way though. bass, synth, piano and strings all work very well together here. seems a little sad, a little defiant in mood, but that might just be me. love the way the song comes in and out, very smoothly.
-
Right at the beginning, it sets the somewhat quiet, somewhat reserved theme. Love the blend of hip-hop drums and spacey synth sounds. This seems to biologically calm me down, as it released the tension I have form sitting in this crappy computer chair. Overall, great, and I hope to see more of Brandon Strade and halc's work.

This is my first time listening to this, and I like it! I did play pokemon red, but managed to power game through the Viridian Forest (must have had my gamer gloves on). The sound it really good, a little harsh and noisy, but it fits well. The bass in the intro is great mood setting. I think it ended a bit too abruptly though, a little more of a fade out could have sounded sweet.

Metal Man, that's a very... interesting placement of that mic. Why is it there? I know it would distract the hell out of me.
