I will be there! Cannot wait to finally meet everyone!

Thank you!! haha I don't have a mouse (shame on me) but I found a way to do it Lesson learned!

It did record everything but in general the volume was too low so I was trying to raise the velocities of all the notes while keeping the "human" feel to it and I failed hahaha. So I'm just gonna re-humanize it all. I have manually adjusted for mostly everything that was offbeat so that part should be done hopefully. I really need to watch more tutorials on FL....

Well, I did record the MIDI with my keyboard but I'm still kind of a noob with FL Studio so I am not sure how to raise the velocities of the whole recording. Oh and sorry about that! This is my first time being in an OCR project so I am not familiar with the process for posting WIPs. My bad! I can delete my previous post if needed.

Here's my first WIP of Forbidden Land! Just the piano backing as of right now. I gotta spend more time on humanizing it all, and I will add vocals/violin to it. I am gonna make it more like a lullaby that transitions into a powerful orchestral/vocal.... thing. Yeah. https://soundcloud.com/teracmusic/wip-forbidden-land-ocr/s-F86Te

Oh man haha. I've been super busy with Multiplayer II: Co-Op (the second charity album for Child's Play Charity) but I am almost done! I just have to film some videos and I will get working on mine ASAP. I'll post a WIP soon!

I'll check out the demo song for sure! And yeah, it isn't sounding as nice as I want, mainly because I was trying so hard to silence the ghost kick that is supposed to be silent lol. I'll see what I can do!

Okay, I'll try that later! Thanks so much

Not quite sure how to upload an image anymore on the forum/workshop..... xD It's URL-only now?

Just tried to fiddle around with the attack/release of the envelope and threshold/ratio of the loudness in the Limiter, and it sounds MUCH better. I still feel like there are some clicks here and there, but that might just be my paranoia lol https://soundcloud.com/teracmusic/theme-song-better-side-chain/s-K9lbn Hi Timaeus Just a ghost kick during the first 30 seconds, then the actual kick comes in (ghost kick is still active of course). I want to send you a screenshot of the Limiter but I'm not sure how to do so... this forum update is awesome yet confusing

Hey, everyone! I've finally made the complete switch to FL and I'm trying to make a theme song for my boyfriend for his birthday. I get the whole sidechaining thing, but I have the pad and ghost kick the only things playing in the beginning and I can still technically hear the kick. Listen to the first 30 seconds, and you should be able to hear a kick-like clicking sound still occurring https://soundcloud.com/teracmusic/theme-song/s-Qamdj I know it sounds fine once an actual kick comes in and all, but is there a way to get the cool "pumping" effect without the harsh clicking evident in the link? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've had FL for a while, but I am happy that I am finally starting to get used to it. Baby steps... -Tera

... and I can't figure out how to add other VSTs (TAL-Noisemaker, Crystal, etc) to the DAW. As someone mentioned earlier, you can no longer just check a box and add the VST. How exactly do I go about integrating it into the new FL? Do I have to do a deep scan? I'm a noob at FL still haha so any help would be appreciated I'm also loving the 4 new VSTs/Effects that were added for the signature bundle. I'm going to enjoy playing with these new 'toys'

If someone ends up directing this, I would SO be in!

I totally agree! I did a more straightforward cover of this song a while back, but I think I might do another one that has much more substance to it.

Woah, that was really good! It seems that you know how to mix the different tracks really well... It all sounded really balanced when listening with my ATH-M50s. The source material was definitely there, but you added enough of your own style to it that it should definitely be within the parameters of a ReMix. I wish I had constructive criticism for you, but everything sounded fine to me! I'm sure some other ReMixers will give you some feedback though

I am interested in claiming "Forbidden Land", but I see the May 15th date and I don't know if that means I need to submit a finished product, or just a WIP. My semester ends on May 4th, so I'd be able to get started May 5th. Let me know! I'd love to add my own style to the already-string-heavy original piece

I am actually interested in Requiem of Spirit... I think I could do a nice violin/vocal arrangement of the piece... Also, can someone add me under the "Performers Available for Collaboration" section of the first post? I think it would make it easier for people to find me that way. I can do live violin and female vocals Thanks!

Oooh thank you! I will listen to those for sure

I can try to adjust the panning I have on it so it's not as piercing, or I can also lower the velocity some more on the higher notes! I know it was an issue before, and there is already a low-pass on the VST xD I think I am going to leave the 1:37 part for vocals and violin, since I'm not sure what else to do with it haha The whistle thing sounds a bit out of tune to me, so I'll probably play that part (or an improvised variation of it) on violin. Okay! I will "humanize" the piano the best I can. Thanks! Any ideas on how to end this? I was thinking maybe re-using earlier parts and making it sound really full and epic... I'm never the best at ending songs, especially one that is this creative!

Okay! I think I might take out that lead and allow some violin improv for that section, and I can add a different synth melody there I also might make the background strings more rhythmic instead of having normal whole notes the whole time. I'm glad you like the piano bit at the end! I will try to change the velocities so it sounds a bit more humanized

Hmmm. I'd say like a month or so, when I was in pharmacy school. I was so depressed that I switched majors LOL. I'm doing music therapy instead, which means music all day, every day!

You probably won't hear a response that early. These things take months to get judged. Just have some patience I'm waiting on a ReMix that was submitted in December lol. They have a lot of ReMixes to judge, so you have to be mindful of that.

Got around to messing around with it a bit more... I am still looking to make the song longer, but would like suggestions on what to do from 1:37 to 2:10 to make it more interesting. I would also love feedback on the piano bit I added starting at 2:10... I know it sounds a bit fake, but I can probably switch out the VST for a better-sounding one. And remember, this is all before I even add violin and vocals to it! That's why this mix is a bit bare overall Update: https://soundcloud.com/teracmusic/terrasthemewipmp3/s-bHHix

When I listen to it, I hear the rhythm guitars a bit too much lol. Maybe try to lower the volume on them, and also do more takes of the melody, like timaeus said? I like the creativity in this for sure.

Having played the game (multiple times, at that)... I can say this sounds absolutely beautiful. Is this a VST piano? If so, I'd try to find one that sounds a bit more realistic. Other than that, awesome job
