She may be able to, I bought her album and it has some great screaming on it. Can Wildfire do growls? Can you, for that matter? I seem to remember your growls being a result of.... MASSIVE COMPRESSOR USAGE AND BURRITO CRAMPS

And thus ended the most uneventful birthday thread of the century. Just kidding, come on people, Willrock and Flik, show the love.

Happy birthday, BILL! And Flik! Your contributions to OCR will never be forgotten. Until the site goes down. Hopefully far off in the future.

A quick update about this "project" I never forgot about it. I just got stuck doing other things I was obligated to do and still am obligated to finish before I can start on this. It may still yet be a month or two until I can REALLY sink my teeth into this bad boy. But there are a few good results that came of this: File size increase on OCR Software upgrades to 64bit A lot more samples and better libraries Had time to practice, suck ever so slightly less The file size increase will be beneficial because it will give me the freedom to just write the song and not worry about length. I won't have to worry about limiting it to 5 minutes in order to fit 8MiB with decent quality. On the flip side, this break has given me time to evaluate my own strengths as a producer and consider what is or isn't acceptable for this collaboration. I may go ahead and maintain all existing instrumental claims. It's too early to say whether I'd be able to make something work in the mix, and assuming it won't work out is too grim and pessimistic of a view to have before even starting. Without further adieu, I would like to invite the people listed on the first post roster to sound off if you're still interested in being a part of this. I haven't checked it over in a while honestly and there may be a couple spots where I could make additions or subtractions. Lastly, this is going to be very freaking epic, like insane, yo. I've been coming up with ideas for sections in my head all this time. I think it will be an arrangement that satisfies all of my wishes as an artist and hopefully those of many of you and the listeners as well. Thanks, sorry for the wait, thanks for being patient. EDIT: Holy crap I just noticed the last post was from 2010. WOW!

no! It'll just have my vocals and if I wanted female vocals I could be all like YO AMANDA LEPRE

I've been thinking about what I want to do a lot, and I keep coming back to, vocal track. I know people don't like vocals, and if I use them, I may be a shoe-in for the way out. But at this point, I've done so much with Planet Wisp, and this feels like the way to go musically and it's something I wanna do as a fartist. So yeah! If I actually finish the song, I may lose anyway, and I'll be ok with that, because I'm gonna have lots and lots of fun. Good luck to you Gario.

You know phones have cameras now too, take some pictures. I really just wanted to make another post about taking pictures. I just wanted to be popular. I am so sorry.

I may have been a little silly then, I apologize. Listened to the new songs, thought I'd go for Amphibious because I loved the ePiano, but then the song really didn't ever go anywhere, and Rexy's was more engaging and better produced, so I went Rexy. Nice work on this round, folks.

Ugh. I got some Shimmering Essences not realizing that you probably meant whatever the Inferno essences are... dang. Got some on my Witch Doctor in Nightmare difficulty. Lame. Maybe I'll make a couple hundred gold though. lol Oops double post. I am sorry. Please merge my 2 posts if you can. Sorry.

I'm not too fond of the idea of "Noob & Expert" or "Novice & Star" or however you want to put it. I don't think people should consider themselves "noobs" and likewise I wouldn't consider myself an "expert" or a "star", not even close. I'd be more comfortable calling myself a novice, and learning from someone who may know a thing or 2 more about production than I do. I mean no offense to anyone who would consider themselves an expert, I'm certainly not suggesting that they are arrogant or whatever, I just personally don't see myself ever considering myself an expert, not unless I'm supporting my family financially with music. So eh, that's just my opinion.

Well what they do is they say: Can Brandon fix this in an hour? Probably. Can he fix it in 5 minutes? With Larry there stopwatching him as he works? NO! (resub pls) I actually don't know why they say "quick fixes" but say 5 minutes. What is the difference between doing the fixes in 5 minutes or an hour? Isn't it likely you couldn't even contact a judge within 5 minutes to have the new version sent to them, or the judge wouldn't see the message within 5 minutes?

Man what's wrong with you guys derailing this good thread and getting DarkeSword in here to keep order? What are you, childrens? I finished a song yesterday and am finishing another one right now, then I could probably make the Sonic entry and hopefully I won't be too burned out on making other songs to finish that one.

DUDE!!! I dropped those off at the merchant a long, long time ago because I didn't feel I needed them ever. Now that I know, I will be breaking down crappy gear and selling the essences on the AH. Might take longer than just selling the items though, and repair costs sheesh.

I sold all of my tomes of jewelcrafting on a whim, had 53 of them and the unit price was a little over 1,000 each. They sold before I even finished my auction house selling which usually takes like 4 minutes. Seems like an easy way to make almost 50k before tax. Or, you know, collect an assload more and make some easy cash. I wonder how people get like 20 million dollars to buy some of this stuff. EH.

Yah, do that and be a gosh darn man, booooy!

You always think YOU'RE #1! So arrogant, so self-righteous!

That was a good review. Yes, I did read the whole thing. As a Christian, I kinda liked the religious view on it, but I disagree about any sentiment that metal is inherently "evil". Thank you so much! That song was super hard to work on. Full credit for the arrangement goes to Mithius. I just programmed the drums, recorded bass, inserted the sounds into Cubase (midi + his guitar tracks + some rendered synths) mixed and mastered it. So pretty much mithius did the majority creative work on this one.

I'm just gonna spam for the next oneI'm all out of ideas

Suite Wet Nectar had a couple collab partners to write the arrangement. But I get what yer saying. I could go all ANAMANAGUCHI on his butt.

You gots a free pass anyways, I don't feel like making technos and you're probably gonna make some upbeat fast technos like you always do, and you'll be a shoe-in for the victoly. Good ruck anyway I guess? Eh just have fun with it, that's what I'd do.
