Or better yet, A contemporary Christian mariachi western theme, with subtle hints of bluegrass and smooth jazz.

How did all of us miss this joke ? I was about to post "I don't get it", but then I thought looong and hard, and then I thought...."wait a minute" , and now I feel slow .

I already have my source, and it's filling one of the songs that I've always wanted to Remix . I've already started working on it. (It's Orchestral, and Ethnic) 50th Post . (I'm very talkative ).

Same here. I go to a thread, see your .gifs, and bust out laughing (to some of them ). Especially those Nicolas Cage ones. This needs to be done.

I like this . Love how it starts to get funky at 00:56. I was about to say that this reminds me of a Sega game, but then I saw the source , so never mind. Keep up the Remixing! (I like your ReMixes ).

I like the sounds and samples that are used here (especially the nature ones). This is a good arrangement, and welcome to OCR .

I was thinking about attempting to do a Smooth Jazz remix of Slider, but to be honest, I'm not ready yet. I would just unnecessarily hold up the album. So good luck everybody, can't wait for this album .

Happy B-Day Chimpazilla , and thanks for your help in the Workshop.

Musical Replacement Initiative. (in the "A compo idea" thread). Yay! Another Star . I was hoping that this wouldn't be put on hiatus (I want to learn more). I mentioned the MRI because I wasn't sure if one was being put one hold, since the PRC, RMWtS, and MRI would eventually be running all at once. (In which I would still try the MRI ).

Does this mean that the MRI will begin instead?

Wow.....there aren't a lot of Stars . Hopefully more will join in these next 3 days .

Awww, but I loved the downbeat chill mixes . Goodness gracious this mix is awesome . Part of the melody reminded me of Revenge of Shinobi. Keep up these great mixes.

Well. That explains a lot . I guess that I’ll make sure that the first note or note thereafter is at 80 or 70.

XD, I was just about to ask if it was okay to do that. I like the way Reaper works, and it has Engineer in it (which is what I want to be ). I'll PM you later , I have something that's due soon.

Thanks . I think that I'll stick with Reaper whenever I'm able to buy a DAW.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, a calm orchestral beginning, turning into a more realistic tense-ish ending, like the progression of a dream (sleeping, dreaming, and beginning to wake up). When you pointed out that they are flat I realized something. When I plug in a note into Reaper, it automatically sets the velocity at 127, which leaves me little to no room to raise the sound and ultimately forces me to use the tracks volume levers to gauge the sound. Glad that you pointed that out, because it made me realize that issue. I’ll try to set the velocity at a base line of either 80 or 70, so that I can adjust it along the way to create swells and etc. You’re right about bringing out the flute more, it does end up making it sound better. It’s good to know that this would pass arrangement-wise. This is a song that I’ll definitely try to bring to OCR standards over time. I’ll work on adding more texture and orchestral sound. I’m trying to build my soundfont library as much as I can in order to do that (since my budget is Free). I am starting to learning that there’s a lot to know, which is why I’m glad that I came to OCR. It’s also really good to hear that this takes time. I’ve had about the same amount of musicianship years as you had prior to using a DAW. I’m going to designate a day or two a week (depending on my schedule) to watching tutorials during the time that I would usually be composing. I’m learning about plug-ins as well. I got Crystal yesterday and experimented in it, and I’m beginning to get a sense of what plug-in are good for me in terms of user friendliness and what I’m using. From what I’m hearing I have to be ready to invest time into this, which is a good thing. I’ll be sure to post any remix that I make in this forum. I’ve actually been kind of surprised at the willingness to help here , because I’m new to this site (in terms of joining) and all. I’ve signed up for remixing with the stars, which should help me a lot in terms of advice and other things as well. This helps a lot, within a few weeks I’ve learned so much. Thanks.

Whoa. I found this good FREE synth Plug-In. If anyone else needs one then here's the site where I found it . It looks great and user friendly. It's called Crystal. http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/dwnld.html

I think that I have an idea for Slider. I'll try to see if I can get a WIP started tonight. G-Mixer, we could collab. on Slider if you'd like. My idea is orchestral by the way.

Argle, I wish that I could confirm your wish ; but unfortunately, it sounds too amazing. So I can't grant that wish. This song sounds like you're taking a trip to India because it has an ethnic feel to it, like Yo-Yo Ma's song Distant Green Valley. You should definitely finish this mix Argle .

I'm going to sign up as a Novice as well. I would definitely love to get some help with Orchestra (My primary genre) . Edit: I just saw that I have to post two works that I've done. One of the songs in the link is in the Workshop. http://soundcloud.com/cosmic-sounds-1/dream-bubble

Western Coast VGM Fan Cosmic Sounds Reporting . Perfect opportunity to put a Justice League or superhero picture up. Edit: I won't be able to go to this event though.

I’ve been working on this song for 9 days now; and, I’m posting the finished version of the song Dream Bubble for Mod Review!!! The short motif is from Kirby 64: File Select at 00:19. I’ll add that link to the firs post as well. Thanks for commenting on the track Timaeus, and for everyone’s help.

I've updated the song once again in the post. Big thanks to Timeaus222 for guiding me to that cello soundfont. The song is almost complete, because all I have to do is fill in the rest of the song to the cello. Complete meaning start to finish minus any technical issues and touch-ups. I also ended up adding a short motif in this update from another Kirby game, because I keep meshing sources together. Can anyone spot the motif, and the game that it comes from ?

I agree with DarkeSword, using PM's to send the votes and the songs as well would be easier. This compo could be handled like the Remixing with the Stars competition, which seemed to work pretty well .

I’ve Updated the song in the first again. I also had created this part for the song, but I think that it’s too liberal; or, that things just went downhill. In this link I attempted to mix the .wav from my notation software into my DAW. I think that like usual I went on a small tangent and am almost ending it like an original …..?? (The link below.) One good thing is that I watched the EQ tutorial, and it was super helpful . Thanks for everyone’s continued assistance.
