oh yeah sure

this is with my "improved" kick - might have to fast forward a bit to hear

I don't have any loops, but I'm going for the dream theater sound

the advice so far has already vastly improved my kick drum, thanks

You're wasting your time as a musician if you see learning a new skill as a waste of your time. Especially one as essential as basic mixing.
Yeah, I know. Thanks. It's been a rough learning curve for me lately and I've been getting a little frustrated.
Thanks to everyone for the responses, I'm going to go back and play with this stuff and see if I can't get something good.

I got studio drummer with Komplete 8 and I'm looking for a preset that will help me turn it into a great prog-metal kit. Right now it all kind of sounds like a really nice rock kit, but I need everything to have that metal punch/snappiness to it. I'm not an expert when it comes to editing samples, so I would only waste my time if I tried to do it myself.

FF6, the ending theme, when Uematsu blends Locke's and Celes' themes. That makes me tear up damn near ever time I hear it.

I don't know that there are many Farmboy remixes out there...you can use mine if you're man enough for the bluegrass.

Congratulations!

Just to be clear, I was joking.

I'm interested pending some details.

hrrmmm...normally I'd jump all over this, but I'm like 6 tracks deep in commitments right now.

Thanks everyone

Well since we're being guilty.
Pros:
Easily recognizeable (I like tunes that stick to the source)
good groove and timing
the organ solo
Cons:
The wavy panning of the piano in the beginning is a little jarring.
The way you hit grace notes very frequently on the piano starts to sound more like wrong notes, if you know what I mean. It's every other note in some places. Those expressive moments are to be used sparingly.
The arrangement is pretty straight. It feels mostly like a cover and not a remix, because I don't hear a lot that was changed.
Hope this helps!

I might claim one in the future, once I'm done with other projects.
This. I've done way too much music work lately and not enough of everything else in my life...
-
I'm interested.

Not to toot my own horn (bada BOOM) but I think the sax could be a touch louder, and with a little less up-front reverb. The wet mix makes it sound like I'm holding notes for longer than I am, rather than adding depth. But I don't have a very good ear for this kind of stuff so I could be just stupid.

I thoroughly enjoy sharing WIPs, particularly because I'm primarily a musician and not a sound engineer. I love the learning element of it, and the communal element of trading music. Since music isn't a source of income for me even a little - and in the times when it has been, it's had nothing to do with my compositions - I'm not really worried about my music being stolen by Coldplay and them making a CD out of it. Besides, as Rozo said, if they did and I could prove that it was my intellectual propety, I'd get some money out of it anyway.
As far as not posting my best work...I consider the "audience" to be the greater community, not the WIP forums. The people who frequent the WIP forums are there for that purpose, so they're not there to judge you based on something you did in two hours and want some feedback on your composition for, you know?

I think a capella would be fine - I actually have some plans in the works to do one myself, having been an arranger, singer, and vocal percussionist for an a capella group in college. This site's standards are about quality, not category.

FF XIII
...and FF X-2.

Sax has been delivered for this piece...interested to hear how you mix it in!
-
I will jazz you until you have no choice but to put on a beret and grow a soul patch on your face.
-
You want sax collab? PM.
-
there's some pitch/tone things going on with the harmonica sometimes (like when it initially comes in), and its quite hard to pick out where the lead is at times
This, but it's really cool. Maybe if you had some overarching instrument playing the lead that could be heard over the top. If you hadn't marked it Kakariko village I'm not sure I would have known it was this tune...
maybe...some whistling ?

Chrono Moonstone is pretty much my favorite piece on this site.
This. Yeah, it's tough to beat. But this is still Shnawesome. I don't hear a whole lot of string quintet accompanying a piano, and it creates a really neat soundscape. And, of course, the sheer piano skills make me look at my inadequate, clumsy hands and cry.
OH SHIT GILGAMESH. That just happened. I almost never look at the source list because I love getting surprised, and that was cool.
Happy Birthday DragonAvenger!
