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).

Way to f@%&ing blow it...My day is ruined.

Sets were the key. Thanks Andrew (and everyone else who responded)

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.

Thanks I'd be happy to pass you the chord structure. It's way easy.

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.

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.

I think it's amusing, and you can win an iPad http://8dio.com/?page_id=11196

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?"

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.
