[OCR02057 - Xenogears "Hymn of Aveh"]

I was in the gym a few days ago letting my OCR playlist roll, which has the torrents in them at random. For the first time, I heard Hymn of Aveh, and I literally stopped in the middle of the gym and just stood there, listening. Fantastic, fantastic work. I

["Flight of the Dark Owl" - Zelda Ocarina of Time (Kepora Gaebora)]

Thanks DarkSim! I've had to put this one aside for a bit due to other projects, but once I get back to it (hopefully soon) feedback like that is great for helping me really fine-tune the mix.

[Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart - History]

Imma try and do Cid's. I've got an idea but just returned from being away from my DAW for 4 days and life is poised to destroy me again. We'll see how fast I can do it. Gimme a week, maybe, for a solid WIP.

[OCR Limited edition T-Shirts!!! (New Items!)]

This stuff is so cool! When I can justify spending money on any more T-Shirts, I am totally getting one or more of these. You should make a baby onesie so my incoming child can enter this world rocking.

[FFX HD Remaster for PS3 and Vita]

The script is just as important as the performance...

I think THIS is the most overlooked piece of the puzzle.

["Flight of the Dark Owl" - Zelda Ocarina of Time (Kepora Gaebora)]

Not that I know of? Was it yours?

Next thing you know I'll be posting everyones OCR tracks to my soundcloud and claiming that I wrote them!

[Fit Club ahoy! Where men are bros and women are also bros!]

ecto - stay away from my wife. She'd fall in love with you for posting what you did.

I love to see people passionately and intelligently deconstructing the common knowledge (the common ignorance). There is such a gigantic hole in modern medicine and the knowledge of the general population when it comes to health and food, propagated by years of listening to doctors that had no clue what they were talking about and listening them tell you "eggs will kill you and butter is bad" on CNN.

Love you guys.

EAT (real) BUTTER.

[Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart - History]

For some reason I didn't see any of these updates.

What's my timeline for Cid's now that Steiner's is taken?

[Cheapest Voice Over Set Up?]

I use an Audix i5 or SM58 into a Focusrite SaffirePro14 into my computer. $300 total of equipment. Granted, I've only ever had one voice over gig.

["Flight of the Dark Owl" - Zelda Ocarina of Time (Kepora Gaebora)]

Thanks Timaeus. A little too human of a performance, maybe. I'll fix those in the next iteration.

I haven't gotten a lot of feedback action on this in the last few days. Do we think it's ready for mod review?

["Flight of the Dark Owl" - Zelda Ocarina of Time (Kepora Gaebora)]

Thanks C&C. I actually think the piano might be clipping at some points, which is giving it that harsh sound. I had to double-track the piano to get it to carry and then I didn't do a great job of adjusting the levels or applying compression. That should be an easy fix.

[Happy Birthday, Emunator!!]

You're old.

[[Paid] Cover Song (80s themed)]

You need to offer more than $40 for something like that. An immense amount of work goes into making music and $40 is simply not enough to compensate that much time and effort if you want true quality work.

You get what you pay for. Always.

This. Depending on how fast the person is, you're probably offering them $4.00 an hour. Best of luck with the project.

["Flight of the Dark Owl" - Zelda Ocarina of Time (Kepora Gaebora)]

Goal = turn Kepora's theme into a late Romantic-era piano concerto.

Piano is played live (but sampled). Otherwise there is live clarinet, french horn, and trumpet in there in different places.

This is sort of my first attempt at doing anything orchestral.

The reverb is slightly too much.

I have to agree here, but that's part ego Also the 2nd sax section is too far in the background.

[Happy Birthday Flexstyle!]

Many happy returns!

[Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart - History]

What's my timeline and which would you rather have? February may be rough on me time wise. Military duty and baby showers and all that.

[Final Fantasy IX: Worlds Apart - History]

Depending on timeline and the director's opinion, I might be able to scoop up another.

[Free music courses]

I am actually really enjoying the digital sound design class so far. I made a topic for OCR people but only a few have posted there.

[Help Buying Komplete]

The only way I've ever heard of that is asking for student IDs to validate a student rate of purchase. I'd stay away.

[Fit Club ahoy! Where men are bros and women are also bros!]

Ha, love that. I want to throat punch people who do that shit.

[Turning NI Studio Drummer into Metal]

I just found this tutorial, and found it pretty awesome (especially since he's literally using the same DAW and version as me).

[Soundtreating a closet...advice?]

Not to argue, but the studio that was done in carpet actually looked really nice, because he took a tone that matched his wood shelves and put it neatly on the walls rather than ragtag.

[Soundtreating a closet...advice?]

I don't know if this will help you or if other artists can corroborate, but someone I know went to home depot and instead of acoustic foam bought the cheapest carpet he could find - like 60 cents a square foot - and did his whole studio with it. It was cheap as hell, easy to install, and sounded great.

Just something to think about. A space that small would cost nothing.

[FF6 Balance & Ruin Kickstarter RELAUNCHED (and FUNDED)!]

I can no longer be blamed for delay! All 3 of my tracks are done.
