Hmmm...maybe!

Hey this is nice. I feel like it could use more low end; like it was building to a swell that didn't quite get there because I wanted some supporting lowness. I'm not listening on the best speakers though.

Many congratulations for youuuuu! I should have done that compo for Darksword a couple months ago

I think music is a great form of communication, and I think that's one of the reasons why I love video game and film music so much. Communication is about context; music set to epic events like video games makes such a difference in the message to me. And it can act as communication all on its own, even without lyrics. I think that's amazing. It also seems to be this strange cosmic constant between cultures, and something that defies explanation - though you can break down the music mathematically, it's just never a good enough explanation of what music is, and why it does what it does.

This just popped up for the first time in my random, massive OCR playlist, and I really enjoyed it. Very emotionally evocative.

You are awesome. Also, when I tried to figure out what a nakayama was, I found this: I don't think that's what you meant, but that's pretty retardedly awesome.

Cool man, let us know how it goes. There's also the Sibelius Auralia, right? Has anyone used that? Nice timing with this thread, I've been looking for some more edumacation.

I'm in for the group buy. I live locally, so I'll probably just commute, as much as that kills the evenings sorta...Hopefully I'll be able to stick around more this year than 2 hours on a Saturday.

Why are you continuing to insult my chest muscles?!

I am extremely sensitive about my small pectorals.

Basically, Timaeus came into this thread and was like "XPRT, your music is crap and your remixer handle is missing vowels." and I was like "bitch, vowels cost money, didn't you ever see Wheel of Fortune" And we had an epic rap battle but we're all good now. (he thought I was trying to promote you over him as a free mixing engineer but it was a miscommunication)

I will hate you forever for this.

Edited....

Oh I know, just chatting. I'll stop eating your thread now.

Yeah, but I want to learn so I stop wanting to put my fist through my computer. I'm taking lessons now with someone to whom I send my stems and then we mix them together and that's helping. Still, though, I can't tell you how many times he's made a change and been like "oh, that's way better," and I've been like "they sound exactly the same and I still hate compression because I fear things I don't understand"

god I hate mixing because I'm really bad/new at it and it takes me forever and compressors confuse me. that is all.

happah baddah!!!

Well done TC.

I keep trying to tell you that it's your project not mine - you can delay as along as you want! Just don't hit me with a "I need this tomorrow" and we'll be good

Pretty cool brandon! I'd take you up on this but I already have plenty of my own absolute garbage that I need to learn how to mix...

I sent you a PM, but I am also interested.

Uhhhhhhhh let's keep it under $300?

Hey guys, I'm about to do a bigger jazz project for a video game and I'm looking for good jazz samples. I can do some myself, but I was wondering if anyone had used Garritan's Big Band 3 and what they thought of it/if they thought there were other sample sets better for that jazzy feel. I was also considering addictive drums with the brush kit, so would appreciate any feedback on those as well. X

I bet Ecto can clear this up, but ultimately you should try exactly what soul splint said and cut your grains and complex carbs like sugars. Sounds like your insulin response levels might be causing you to build up excess glycogen stores around the organs around there. That's why, locationally, people tend to build fat on their bellies first when complex carbs are the problem.
