  1. I agree 500% The guy who is making it kicks butt I hope to see lots of remix posts of his on ocr
  2. When they remade this for the DS and didn't have it on the GBA, I was heart-broken. I played through FF1 and am working on FF2 right now from Dawn of Souls. I will just say this: The soundtrack for this game is AMAZING, whether remade version or not. I haven't actually played through it but it has a lot to live up to after FF1 and 2. I have or had a rom of it and it worked good enough in an emulator.. but it sucks not bein' able to afford to buy it and a DS. Or a 3DS. Playing it on a phone would be terrible. They ain't got no directional pad.
  3. This thing sounds pretty, well, bad, but also good. If I had a spare half grand to drop on it, I'd do it. But hells no. I ain't got that kind of cash. And you can't JUST get the system with no games. What are they changing for 'em, $50?
  4. Hells yeah this thing is coming up faster than a sick man's dinner. Tracks due on the 3rd! I should be able to comply with those demands.
  5. Haha, funny you bring that up Shaggy. I have my monitors on the shelf of my TV stand, and if I listen to music for a while, they just vibrate right off the back of the table onto the floor.
  6. GANG FIGHThttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmbtua21uzM Meat loaf? XD
  7. It's going to be called "Vivi's Adventure in London" I mean... no.
  8. It might be that FF9 was a lot more strict with recruiting, limiting to posted mixers and requiring auditions from everyone who wasn't... And also limiting people to 1 claim at a time..
  9. If I had to try to say your nickname IRL I'd jumpkick myself in the face.
  10. That's what she said... I.... think? Yea, she says that about EVERY project release. They don't tell people that info ahead of time. Not anyone but the directors. And they won't share that info with the common folk either. Just saiyan', there should be some disclaimer somewhere about that, hehe The only thing we actually DEW know is that Sonic is coming... next..
  11. I am amazed at the difference a sound system can make. Depending on what you use, you will hear completely different "artifacts", for lack of a better word, in the audio. Up to this point I've been listening to my songs in 2 different systems; A set of Alesis M1Active 320USB's and Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones. I also received a free Gear One G40DX headphones with the monitors, now a $10 value on Amazon, but only recently started listening to music with them. Here are my findings so far: Wireless headphones -- I use them primarily. Yeah I know what you're thinking now, and you're probably right. These are not ideal at all for mixing and mastering. There's no consistent volume. There's a volume knob on the headphones, one on the monitors, and another one on my audio interface. It'll clip in the headphones or pop whereas it's probably TOO QUIET on another system. It's far too inconsistent to properly mix and master with them, so I will be using other methods starting soon. The Alesis monitors -- I don't use these to actually mix or master. I've tried listening through them, but at a low volume the mix just isn't consistent, even with professional stuff real bands have made.. Low volume, very weak bass... seems pretty weedy.. Then at higher volumes it's better, but again, stuff sounds way too piercing at that volume.. too present, and still more muddy than it should. Just not good for monitoring I guess.. Gear One G40DX headphones -- Now here's where I was kinda surprised, because these are cheap and free. They've got an 8' cable which is nice. The frequency response is something like 18Hz to 20KHz or something in that area. They have great bass, and the mixes I've listened through them sound very consistent. The spots where there were flaws in my mixes were extremely obvious. The reason I started noticing how different all of these were is because I recently used my car as a monitor... yea, for the first time.. I know, I'm a noob, but I never thought to do that. Mainly because I don't drive a lot, and if I just sit in there running songs, I'll run the battery out. It's a Honda Element, a 2003 but it seems to have all of the modern features.. a CD player, AUX plug for phones or ipods, even a subwoofer with controls for all that stuff. Needless to say the speakers sound very good. I was able to audibly hear compression for songs I'm working on for my new acoustic album, not the pumping kind -- I tend to avoid that form of compression completely. Nobody likes pumping, unless it's like, techno or something. I heard it more in the general thickness and muddiness of the mix itself. I listened to a little more than half of the songs, and a couple of them stuck out to me as having compression that was too strong, the others were ok. It may have even been the multi-band limiter I was noticing, not too sure. So to anyone this wasn't obvious to (which is probably nobody but me), take a look at your various sound systems. See which ones give you the best results. And if you wouldn't mind, post what you've used and your experiences with them.
  12. Sweet! I recognized the Journey song from the first Mega Man but unfortunately haven't played any of the other games, so this is a fresh experience for me all around. I love Josh's ability to use programmed instruments like bass and lead guitar but make them sound convincing. He gets a very distinct and interesting sound with them, people trying to sequence with fake instruments should take notice! This is how it's done. Awesome website too, nice animations and cleanliness to it. Great second solo album on OCR, hope to see more in the future!
  13. And I LOVE CATS but you! You just scratch me the wrong way! Hey, pee in my bed all you want, you'll just be adding to what's there.
  14. They gather two of every shits and release a flood, or a "shitstorm" if you will, of shit
  15. Just like they thought having more intersects on Chuck would be beneficial. But you all know what went down on the last episode of Chuck.
  16. All you need for a party is two (or more) cool people Says so in the party handbook As someone with bad eyes I ask What changes were made last update?
  17. What, just any track? Any genre? :-o

  18. Once again Archangel is found guilty in a court of "awe". Amazing orchestration, the writing and transitions are expertly done. A lot of people are mentioning your work on DKC3 (which somehow i haven't heard) but your work for the upcoming FF9 project is simply amazing. And yes, your Prelude was pretty sweet if a little conservative. Much love bro
  19. Congratulations on the mix post!

  20. Notice the guy in the green jacket who, by the end of the song, is high-fiving people audibly... I want that job.
  21. Hey. Please let me know what's up with mm9. If you need a quick track made I'm your guy.

  22. This is proof that chiptune artists have horrible taste in music and too much time on their hands. I AM JOKING PEOPLE LOL But yeah Cool.
