Thanksgiving... more like Creativitygiving. 

Sure.

I would LOVE to see a line play my stuff, but I can't see it happening. I also suck at remixing, so I can't really make a Latin version.

I sctually think the intro is really wintry. Great atmosphere, very dreamy. The guitar and choir sound fantastic. Just an excellent mix.
 
Aurora borealis in the Arctic anyone?

Thirded just cause free sample libraries have taught me how painful account-making renders some things.

1$ for 5 producer's choice sample packs. For a buck I'll give em a shot

Definitely sounds like NieR. I haven't heard many Vocoloid pieces, but the tone in this one seems better, more articulate. I agree on the backing being strong; it certainly helps when I don't comprehend the lyrics. 
 
Also found this fun to improv snare solos over for some reason.

SICK guitar playing. Great take on a well-known source. Sounds like an evening in Zeal just sitting on a hill, probably cause the backing is great too. I know nothing about guitar playing, but the improvisation and playing here is just awesome. 

I think I'll do some reviews. Probably not gonna reach a high number but every bit helps!

3 days... Christ. I agree that there is a lot going on here, lots of great cross-genre stuff and glitching to boot. Yeah, it's a shorter mix, but still. 3 days. Even without that, nice work.

"YoshiBlade" a new comer to the OCR brings us a his rendition of SMW Castle Theme mixed with Castlevania. I suppose he thinks himself pretty clever with his write up? Using words not doubt gleaned from his Webster's word of the day calendar, throw about with the same grace as a dog who's gotten hold of a dictionary tearing it to shreds! But on to the music, if it can even be called that. We start with a simple expansive pad, almost certainly purchased from a reputable musician, ( I find it rather dubious this young man is capable of that kind of synth design), before we're introduced to a obnoxiously repetitive bass and a small sample of The Castle Center Theme from Castlevania...I bet he seems to think he can hide his hobbled musicianship by playing a small snippet of actual music, rather than utilizing MIDI flies to hide his naked failure as even the most amateur pianist. The voices are actually sampled quite well...were it 1994. As to his use of lead instrument, I'm curious if here is even aware of the difference between a square wave or a sine wave? Or to the proper use of either one?! Then he introduces some more glitchy aspects, though I am having a hard time determining if this is intentional or a product of his total lack of understanding of even the most basic production techniques...Upon hearing these I was granted a small amount of relief, as I thought I received a corrupted copy and thus would have a reason to NOT review this utter swill, however it seems these glitchy aspects are intentional. Or I'm sure he likes to think. I may seem like I'm droning on, but not nearly as droning as his choice of loop, an obvious loop as even the most basic beat structure is as foreign to his ears, this track is to decent taste ...I wonder Mr. YoshiBlade, how much did you spend to on loops to prop up your obvious failings as a musician and human being, hmm? and then we approach a vocal sample Oh-Ho, Yes indeed Mr.YoshiBlade you know how to sample a voice, bravo, Im sure you sat smugly at your computer when you made this, no doubt stroking your overblown ego, with your own brand of praise. Pray Tell, was it difficult to press record than play? Or perhaps you kept forgetting which in which order to do so,hmm? I shan't even waste my time with his piddling ending, no doubt a portent of his career on the OCR short, lackluster and lazy! Let us hope this is the last we hear of this Mr. YoshiBlade. I return to my warm Bree and Burgundian Chablis, disgusted with the depth at which Video Game Remixes have stooped to!

So far, I've been pleasantly surprised at how much good music I've discovered. Like 1/5th of what I review gets downloaded and I'm usually picky about what I download.
 
80 down.

15 down, 185 to go. Finally putting Excel to some use.
 
I think the real benefit is hearing the Anti-Syne mix I never got around to, though.

Definitely cold.

Sorry, I only classify music as "metal" or "not".

Not really expecting feedback, just something I thought the OCR folks might like.

Thank you!

Okay, now that I'm home, I've opened up sfz and yeah, I also don't see .sfz files in the FL browser. However, once you get sfz working, you can get around it by left-clicking the rectangle next to "File" and browse for it in the window that pops up, and then you would see .sfz, .sf2, .wav, and .ogg files as you browse via sfz.
 

You could classify the first 4 chords under some sort of E minor scale as Em, G and B are part of the E harmonic and melodic minor scale. The outstanding chord here is the G#aug which includes two common notes with E minor: C and E. The G# is borrowed from E Major and creates an unusual kind of tension.
The last four chords are simply a ii, IV, vi, I progression in C# Major.
 
To conclude, when you write a melody over these chords you can use E harmonic/melodic minor for the first half and C# Major for the second half. You can't go wrong by targeting 3rds and 7ths of each chord.
 
Hope that helps!

I've been writing music since I was 16, to...middling results, I've never really made anything outstanding but I've always enjoyed doing it.  Lately however I have no ideas what to write, and even worse I feel hardly inclined to even write anything. How do I fix this? I want to write again. 

That Aria Di Mezzo cover though...

This amazing Final Fantasy tribute album.
