When I am 18, you guys better WATCH OUT
...
this is gamified fitness, right? We can trash talk?
I am extremely sensitive about my small pectorals.
-
I have no idea what just happened here.
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)
-
Same. And sorry if I upset you in any way.
I will hate you forever for this.
-
Edited....
-
I apologize for any confusion, I wasn't referring to you specifically, just people who are in the same boat as you.
Oh I know, just chatting. I'll stop eating your thread now.
-
A lot of people share your feelings, and that's perfectly ok. That's what I'm here for, to ease your burden. I enjoy the geeky technical side of music, uncovering the full potential of a song through the mix process. So it's an ideal situation for everyone.
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!!!
-
-
also i'll be checking out the stems to sent me asap
sorry for wait
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.

So, yeah, I've been wondering about this for awhile. I'm pretty thin, <= 10 percent body fat I reckon. Metabolism is quite fast, always has been. Yet I still have a bit of a pouch going on my belly. Its quite perturbing. All these crunches and stuff I'm doing are for naught if belly fat is covering it up. Yet I'm not a fatass, so what's up with this? Harrumph.
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.

this birthday does not have enough whistling

On further review, I actually think their ethnic bundle and all the stuff in there is pretty good. The orchestral stuff doesn't do it for me, though. But I have a huge gap in my library right now for good ethnic instruments and I really like the way some of these sound. To me, these sound better than Silk or Ra from EWQL. For 40% off, it ends up being $400.
I know you were looking at the orchestral stuff, I'm just musing.
-
I'd have to go back and look, but I listened to all the orchestral demos and got that overwhelming "These are fake strings" feeling. For the price, you might as well wait for an EWQL sale.
But really that's just my opinion; if you like the sound of the strings, then bag them because that's a good price for a big library.
The vocal chains had a nice mix of short/long.
-
So I spent some time listening to the instrumental sample sets...I kind of think they suck. Saving up a bit could get you a lot better; even EWQL and Cinematic Strings. I don't know, they just all sound hokey to me.
What DOES draw me in are the vocal samples. I might grab that bundle because for all THAT it's ridiculously cheap.
-
I'll echo that I'm interested in hearing others' opinions on this. I have some studio money that I could use with the right deal...
FYI: it also works on the bundles. So you can literally buy the entire library of this company's sapmles for $1200 (935 Euro)
-
Based on scientifically proven analysis, I predict that this game is going to require someone dual-qualified in whistling and clarinet playing. I mean, I assume you knew that already, but just for public knowledge...
-
This is easily one of my favorite orchestral pieces on OCR. I aspire to be able to arrange like Derek. He is an exceptional musician who obviously pours a lot of heart into his music. In my first couple of listens to this in the car, I literally shouted "YEEESSS!" at a couple of parts that made my skin prickle.
Damn, this is just so good.
-
:-( dude, that is brutal. I guess the bright side is that it was just a gash instead of a cracked kneecap or something, but still. I hope you heal up fast and then get back to it!
Oh yeah, I'm good. Just had to avoid bending it for a couple of days...should be good for more parkour on sunday!
-
I gained an inch-long gash in Parkour last week trying to do a kash vault and ramming my knee against the box instead...
