dude, I'd be happy to help if downloading that file didn't take me 8 clicks and advertisements and a captcha...

Hey, I like this. I would say that I think the guitar work in the beginning is choppy...might want to look at your sequencing or find someone to play it live. The second guitar entrance at around 1:50 is better, but I think that's because you're doubling it there so it covers up the "fakeness" of the sound. It happens again at 3:20 or so. To me, it's the unnatural cutoff of that sound - might want to extend the release and you'd be in better shape. Then again I'm a guitar player and I can be picky

I might be branching off a bit, but I'm wondering - EWQL has that composer's pack, where you can choose 7 sample packs for under $1000. Does anyone know if that deal is also 50% off, or only the individual samples? I always said if I bought anything from EWQL, I would just save up and buy the composer pack, but that might change if it's going to leap to $2000 on January 1st...

So the samples that come with Komplete 8 are actually the Vienna samples? I've been using them a little bit and haven't liked them very much so far, BUT I am an idiot when it comes to sequencing (hence most of my mixes being live).

If your secret is that you don't actually have a secret, I think we all know what your secret is.
Way to f@%&ing blow it...My day is ruined.

You can definitely do Soundcloud, try the flash version. Go to a 'set' (that's a playlist of multiple songs) and then 'share'. eg.
Sets were the key. Thanks Andrew (and everyone else who responded)

Also, XPRTNovice, that beat boxing is great! Anything specific you're interested in?
Nah, thanks. Sonic was never a passion of mine, but I'm all about laying down a beatbox track on whoever wants one!
-
I must be stupid. I can't figure out how to do Soundcloud's embedding; when it gives me the code specifically for wordpress, it only embeds that one song. I think the HTML5 code embeds a whole player, but wordpress doesn't like HTML5. I'll have to explore tindeck/bandcamp....
-
I'm trying to figure out the best way to put a player of my music stuff on my website that doesn't require me to buy anything. Soundcloud's option is OK, but it puts a different box on the website per song, from what I'm seeing, and my Wordpress site doesn't accept HTML5. I haven't done web design in a reaaaaally long time so I'm looking for some help on this. Thanks.

The holiday season killed it for a lot of us, but I'm with Brandon in that you can probably expect it sooner rather than later - and certainly not a year from now.
-
well played! I've been kinda itching for a little more bluegrass from OCR and you definitely delivered. I've also been playing through FFVII lately and thinking it would be fun to figure out Farm Boy on my guitar. You've got some great skills and a lot of creativity. Look forward to hearing more from you!
Thanks
I'd be happy to pass you the chord structure. It's way easy. -
Can I be a kid again? Please?
No, no no. You're confusing this with Ocarina of Time.
-
I wanted to throw down here that I'm a beatboxer, and, barring my equipment constraints (I don't have the best setup for this), I would be available to lay something down for anyone if they'd like.
Samples (non-hip hop, tho)

I just want to say that in the first couple of hours of the release, I've had 155 hits on my website. The most I've ever had in a single day due to any of my writing publications was 145.
I fail as a writer
I should just give up and become a permanent Theophany contributor. In all seriousness though, this album is amazing.

FFXIII killed my childhood

I think it's amusing, and you can win an iPad

I would say yes if not for 2 notes that are below my range. Sorry
-
I just came upon this thread. I want to contribute, but probably not until I'm done with a bunch of albums. I am a huge point and click adventure fan and QFG/KQ were the staples of my computerized youth.
The first track I will do will have something to do with QFG 2 and it will be called "Where the F&@# is the Money Changer?"

As for using it on one channel of a dual channel setup, go right ahead. The only thing I do when miccing with more than one mic is to make sure there are no phase issues. Using a different preamp on one channel is similar to using two different mics for a different character to the recording. If both mics are condensers then it's not really a matter of gain, you'll have plenty of room to mix and EQ. If you're running dynamic mics, or a condenser+dynamic I would test the preamp with the different mics and positions on the guitar. This way you can get an idea of what each mic sounds like through the preamp and you can gauge the noise:tone ratio and figure out what you're comfortable to work with.
Alright, good advice. My current mic inventory is an SM58, an Audix i5 (basically an SM57) and the MXL 990 991 condenser package. I like the sound I'm getting with the i5+991 combo.

Woot Jersey! I grew up about an hour away from there and used to go down there for band/choir events all the time. I don't know that I'll be able to make it, but everyone who goes is required to have a slice of pizza for me.

Thanks guys! I'm thrilled to finally be a part of the OCRemix community
-
Native Instruments is giving away DRIVER and some TRAKTOR sets for free right now.
-
Thanks - I'll run a test with my acoustic. I just was wondering if using one mic without a preamp and one with a preamp is going to defeat the point.
-
if you end up being my doppleganger at MAGfest, we have to fight to the death, just sayin'. Will be awkward for a first meeting, but these things are beyond our control.
It's cool man, I'll keep the beard so we avoid any potential confusion.
Please help me identify this
