Hey, that's me! Super glad to finally be posted Do check out my soundcloud if you havent! https://soundcloud.com/nokbient

Hey, I'm in the same boat. Life has been crazy. My WIP isn't very good, and I have a lot less time on my hands then when I started on this. I'm at a point where I think I would need to start over entirely from scratch and I just don't have the time! I think I'm going to need to drop out. Best of luck with the rest of the project!

Thanks for the feedback! Will def take a looksee at these

Title. I need some good big band or jazzy brass for an Undertale remix I may or may not be working on? There's Broadway Big Band, but it's 100 gigs soooo...yeah. Any recommendations?

I feel I should share this. Undertale meetup at Magfest!

Thanks!

SO HYPE YO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8YIvcNGeBw or https://soundcloud.com/nokbient/big-boos-big-bash-yoshis-island-castle-remix Just a quick remix. Kind of short, but I think it turned out very well. Feedback?

Thanks for the offer, YoshiBlade. I got a ride worked out now, so no worries!

https://soundcloud.com/nokbient/nyehbenstimme-undertale-bonetrousel-remix Pretty satisfied with how this turned out. Thoughts?

HEY HEY HEY! Looks Like I'm going to make it! Is anyone willing to carpool and is going to drive by the Indianapolis, IN area? I can make it myself but travel isn't cheap...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm in the market for some handy dandy new vsts! Fire away! Also, for me, it's either Synplant, or Serum. Synplant has a really organic sound that is super difficult to achieve in other synths. Serum just because I find the interface very intuitive. It's kind of replaced Massive as my heavy bass plugin.

I've never made it to a Magfest yet. Hopefully that will all change this year, if I can get some OCR peeps to carpool/room with, that is

Definitely "Yoshi Start Demo" from Yoshi's Island. Worst song title ever. EVER. But, even though the actual tune is a quick loop, I would stay on the screen that played it and harmonize with it since I was a wee lad. My best remix so far IMHO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqCpJsAdaF8

Truly shocking. I would be lying though if I said I wasn't anxious to see who the next president will be.

I think the only think I have critical to say is that some parts sound a little muddy. This is great though! I really like it!

https://soundcloud.com/nokbient/stumbling Something I made for a class of mine this semester as a final project. I tried to go for an Aphex Twin kind of feel for it. I think it turned out OK.

Ok, right off the bat, I am not intending for this to be a discussion on whether or not louder is better. I have my own opinions on that as I'm sure you do as well. My question is more on the technical aspect of getting music to be loud. I listen to Pandora on my way to school in the morning. When I create music, I've tried to make it as loud as I could. I wouldn't say I'm a professional post-production expert, but I know how to mix and master well enough, or at least I'd like to think so. Yesterday, a Deadmau5 track started playing on Pandora, and it was MUCH louder than anything I could have made. I had to turn the volume down to about 20% of what I normally have it at. Even with compression, various mastering effects, EQing, etc, I've never been able to make anything as loud as this was and not have it clip or have compression/limiting artifacts. It was loud and dynamic. Now, I understand that it might not be reasonable to make all music sound this way, but purely from a technical production standpoint, how is this sort of thing done in an extreme example like this?

Anyone else got it? For some reason, I got it baaaaaaad right now. Not serious depression, just a general gloom'n doom sort of feeling. Any tips on dealing with it?

Edited once again! Ill post the edit here as well as my main post.

I don't know what it is about Synth 1 that I love, I just do. This should come in handy!

I might go ahead and give it a try! It's always been one of my favorite Sonic tracks.

No new update, but I updated to Mod Review and had no response...

Updated, and changed status to Mod Review! Details in original post.

Hey, this looks rad! I will say the main character looks a bit like a blonde Michael Jackson though heh. I just backed it, but 70,000 seems a bit lofty. Especially for 30 days. Good luck though anyway!
