I got my secret santa today when I got home from work.... words can't express how thankful I am, this is the most amazing gift I ever could have imagined, it went above and beyond any expectations I had.. I will post pics as soon as I can, it's a bad weekend for me work-wise! Speaking of which I still haven't mailed mine out yet, but this SS I received gave me a perfect idea to add a personal touch to my gift, so I will be adding an item which I will need to buy from the store to mine before shipping... you can thank my secret santa for the idea when you receive it.

I own a Wii, but my mom uses it to watch Netflix. If someone could tell me a very easy way to hook up dolphin, I would really appreciate it, then I could check out the last story and Xenoblade possibly.

Since returning to OCR in 2009, I have learned more about popular genres of music than I had ever cared to, and that's a good thing. Though I have to admit, I think I would have made my way to loving Ke$ha, Katy Perry, and others without any influence from OCR. In fact I think that might be frowned upon (or at least receive a collective groan) by many people. I've dabbled in electronic music here, and a few of the songs will even make it on the site (eventually) and that is fantastic. I don't think I would have seen myself doing that without OCR being a part of my life. I can understand how people can be elitist or look down on other styles of music if they find one in particular that they really love (like classical) but I think an open mind, creativity, and time with musical innovation like the kind we have here will open you up to so many possibilities and avenues of understanding.

With all due respect, if I had a kid in high school and he shared any of your views, I would be complaining to the principal about you. :/

The Star Ocean 4 soundtrack is pissed at this shit too! Song 12 from the first disc, posted here on 12/12/12 FITTINGLY SAD

It is literally, definitively IMPOSSIBLE for square enix to redeem themselves at this point. I have very little faith that FF15 would even be worth trying now. It will probably have some kind of flash game or iphone-only component to unlock outfits for the lead character woman and generally be utter crap. I'm just DONE! Sir.

The audio from this sums up my feelings on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrGZyBy00Ug Done with squareenix forever.

If you're using ASIO4ALL or something, lower the input latency.. try 512 or lower. If you're not using an asio driver, try using an asio driver. Having said that... there's potential here, but the quantizing just kills it dead. It's unfortunate but you'll probably need to re-record the entire piece. There are some quite odd transitions as well, where it jumps from loud to quiet and it seems quite sudden... probably in part due to the quantizing, but also more reverb could be utilized to help smoothen out some of the edges here. There are some parts, like that arpeggio at the end, where the velocity seems too consistent through the notes... could use some further expressiveness in the performance. This could also be a problem with the sample, I'm not sure what you use, but a real piano doesn't maintain such a perfectly consistent tone between notes like that. Something to think about but maybe not a huge deal. I think most of all, re-recording it without quantization and latency will be the first step, then adding some tasteful reverb.

Happy birthday OC ReMix! Good times! The best are yet to come?!

I was hoping Agni's Philosophy would be FF15. They more or less said if people liked the setting/characters that it would be. Not sure what ever came of that. I don't think they should base something so important on some silly internet poll. The comments/likes are disabled for that youtube video. :/

What does... ....even mean? And yeah, I wish people would leave hints in page sources more often...

You can take your ridiculous opinions and shove them up your canyon-esque crevasse. I don't finish a lot of RPGs these days. I finished Star Ocean 4. It is a work of art, and Motoi Sakuraba's music is genius. .I do hope they release the new Star Ocean on the PS3 or even PC, would love to see a huge graphics improvement too, just because they can, and because why not. Though the art style of SO4 was really cool and maybe getting more realistic with it wouldn't be a good idea, but they could beef up the graphics within that type of art style still.

Hey, I had already gotten an extension for until the 15th, but I work from thursday to sunday, so I am wondering if I can get it bumped out to the 20th? That'll give me another 3 days next week to work on it (in addition to the remaining 2 days of this week.)

It's our fault, really... we just don't have the Killer College Chops that this guy does. ------------- My only personal gripe about the album is that it's so long it makes gaining familiarity with it as a complete work pretty difficult, and I usually think such a thing is very important. I always focus on how a complete work will be accepted and I'm sure Emu had the same thing in mind perhaps, I just DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE~!

Quit trying to take the Christ out of Christmas or all you're gonna get are really crummy atheist wavs that won't be worth keeping.

Best. Christmas EP. Ever. God bless us, everyone.

You guys should get jobs like I got... 8 hours of brain-killing boredom, I take a netbook but sometimes I get so bored I just stare blankly at it with nothing on... it's insane. Wish I had something truly engaging to do while there. This is a brief glimpse into how and why I became insane... you know... for future reference.

It must suck to be so turned off by the human voice... probably doesn't make life particularly easy for you.

they probably don't have it in West Virginia yet I haven't had 1 in so long

If you were hoping for reggae and you got reggae but you don't like drug references which are synonymous with reggae, you're gonna have a bad time

You kidding bub, I've subbed stuff in early August still not paneled.
