Neblix made a thread a while back explaining just that, you can find it here.

It would definitely be easier working with one Kontakt instance, I'm not sure about RAM. I would guess multiple instances would be more RAM intensive, but that's just a guess.

I prefer early to late.

Wait, who's emulator? Seriously though, whenever the album is released, it'll be worth the wait. We've waited this long, what's a few more days, or weeks, or whatever? Since someone brought up Gandalf, I've been waiting for the Hobbit movie since Return of the King came out, and that was about 7 or 8 years ago. Two years isn't very long at all.

I want to go, but it depends on my family's vacation plans. I'm hoping to extend my Christmas vacation. What day is the OCR panel?

Actually, you should be concerned with length. If you want more people to pay attention, you should put the most important information right up front, in big bold letters. Short, and to the point is the best way to get more attention. Ideally, yes, people probably should be willing to take the time to read something that has to do with helping sick kids. However, we don't live in an ideal world; and given that we are constantly surrounded by all sorts of things vying for our attention, what stands out the most are short messages that go straight to the point, and that get in your face, so to speak. Image is important. CP may be a good charity, but certainly other causes are just as worthy. Is there actually public voting? The information you provided from Chase Legal specifically mentions Chase customers.

Sad, yes, never cried though. I understand why people cry at works of fiction, it's just not how I react. I rarely cry, not that I'd feel ashamed if I did more often. Final Fantasy 9 has an undertone of sadness, the game is really emotional. The relationship between Zidane and Garnet, Freya and Sir Fratley, Vivi and the black mages, and Eiko has no family, except for the moogles.Of course, there are happy moments also. Steiner and Quina always make me laugh. The moogles are also funny. I didn't think Aeris dying was sad when I was young, I thought she was annoying and weak. I wasn't really affected by the scene until I played Crisis Core, also a sad game. After seeing how they portrayed her in that game, it made me sad that to know she was going to die in FF7. I think the saddest part of FF7 is Cid's story, I mean just listen to his theme music. Oh, and Red XII also has a sad story.

Yeah, bass is too loud, at times it drowns out the other stuff. The guitar is way too harsh through the mix, it muddies things up a bit. At the 4 minute mark, I thought the song was over, it's an unnecessary break, or at the very least it lasts too long. This is mostly a cover, though there is nothing wrong with that, it means that it's not up to OCR standards; which may or may not matter to you, depending on your goals with this remix. I do hear your own arrangement near the end, which was nice. I also like that reverby piano, when it's not drowned out by the guitar. Overall, I think this is good work so far. Keep at it.

I like the suggestions made by Gario, WillRock, and SurperiorX. I'd prefer a once or twice a month sort of thing instead of a tournament.

Hype is overloading...

OCR forums are not as popular as Penny Arcade, I'd imagine that has something to do with it. I'll vote in the public round, as I'm not a Chase customer and I don't plan to be one. And I won't attempt to back door into the first round.

Awesome idea, I'm interested! Got any ideas for what we would actually remix? I'd suggest sticking with maybe a certain game, or genre.

Birthday combo X3! Have a good one guys!

Lots of crazy stuff going on in this thread. I met Deia at PAX East this year, she seems like a really nice person. I had a good first impression. I look forward to seeing her again at future events, and the rest of the OCR staff. And other OCR peeps too.

Happy birthday people!

I need to play DKC3 again! My sister currently has my snes, and to me an emulator just isn't the same...

Happy birthday dude, hope it's a good one! That cake is straight up brilliant.

I didn't do much better, don't beat yourself. Dust yourself off, and just keep going. Even the best start at that level, they had to work their way up. Chin up.

Nice, I wasn't all the way at the bottom. Considering this was my first complete remix, I'm happy with the results. Congrats XPRTNovice and other winners! And to everyone who participated!

Confirming the confirmation. Looking forward to the results!

You're right, the source is there, just no very prominent. I don't think it's as prominent as it should be, at least for OCR standards. Then again that's just my opinion, someone who has been here longer and has more experience might say otherwise.

I'm hearing the side stick in the center, maybe it is a speaker issue. Either that or my ears are the problem.

That might have something to do with it, did you pan anything to the left?

I also use FL Studio 10, the retail version. Let me know if you have any trouble with it, I might be able to help. Also, for remixing in general, I recommend checking out the guide in this thread. It helped me get started, and still helps me now. Yeah, check out Soundcloud, it's free and easy to setup, and easy to use.
