  1. Maybe at 1:37 the wind could be wiiide stereo so you hear it in both ears, and be louder? That might help push the concept forward I don't know if I mentioned it, but it DOES sound like you can wrangle some more volume out of the mix, maybe even without sacrificing dynamics. Just make sure you put some kind of brickwall at -.1db to prevent clipping But use your ears -- audible clipping is something you wanna listen fer.
  2. Legacy: Game Boy 25th Anniversary The 25th anniversary of the classic portable gaming system, the Game Boy, is here! The father of portable gaming had over 600 games, was the launching point of multiple series that are still around today, and was one of the most successful gaming systems in history.

  3. I am prepared for the liking of remix. Very good ambient intro. The sound design is great. That string crescendo at 1:00 could have perhaps a little more reverb on it to give it more of a natural / extended sound perhaps. Personal taste. Sounds great. At 1:37 it feels like a build-up that peters out a little until the drums come in, not sure if you could put something else in there too. *shrug* The drums lay down a sweet surf rock vibe. 2:20 brass seems a little louder than necessary but probably only by say, 3db or so. Definitely a theremin-type sound. If you want to go full-on theremin, you could try BTS Super Theremin VST. But this is passable and acceptable as is, no issue. The bass seems kind of stereo separated, or at least I'm hearing it wider than what my ears tell me is appropriate. It'd be great to hear it as a more centered bass to help hold down the foundation of the song. The drums may be a LITTLE quieter than they should be, but I'd be careful raising them too much. Other things like lowering the brass will go a long way, in addition to a small drum boost, to make the foundation stronger. This is a really great mix. Some things could stand to be a little less dry, like the higher vibraphone type sound at 2:43. Strike a nice balance between popping in natural reverbs but don't overdo it! And again, lowering the brass a little might go a long way to helping out - instead of just putting a bunch of reverb on the brass, lower it a bit, and apply a subtle reverb. I think that'd work out quite swell. I think this is pretty solid though, it sounds on par with stuff I've seen posted or to-be-posted, just a couple small tweaks. Nice work Just as a side note, you probably already do this, but make sure the lows on your reverb sends cut off at 800hz or higher. This'll make sure your reverb is nice and subtle, and less muddy. Not saying the song has that issue, just saying in general.
  4. *bat signal for jnWake to enter DoD Water Month with another INCREDIBLE Aquaria remix*

  5. Thank you.. Pokemans is important especially with it becoming a smaller EP. Need less obscure to offset the more obscure stuff.
  6. I missed this show by a LOT. A LOT. Bad night. But I look forward to catching up.
  7. Zelda is more popular than Call of Duty: confirmed My mix from this album on Youtube: 442 views, 17 likes My Call of Duty mix on Youtube: 95 views, 6 likes, 1 dislike The people have spoken
  8. Your contributions to the album will still be very much appreciated and valued. I would love to have you guys on the album... Hopefully you were in it due to your passion for the Gameboy in which case I welcome you with open arms and look forward to your imminent claims As for what's going on now, I need to speak with Chernabogue a little bit and we need to organize a game plan here.. not sure if July release will be possible, but we can definitely try to shoot for it.
  9. Your response was what I was expecting. Thank you. :-) I have to sleep for work now but we will talk again very soon.

  10. Hi. I thought this would be useful.. if you could set the skill level for your instruments listed in your profile. If you're set to collab and you list instruments, you could also list your skill level. Maybe either as a star level (1 to 10) or word-based (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Professional etc). This would be useful to help you find collaborators. People would set their own levels, like I could set my flute level at beginner, mandolin at intermediate, ukulele at beginner, and say death growls at professional Then if someone decides, hey, I need some ukulele in this mix. They can check the people open to collab plus their skill ranking. Say either "I need a pro ukulele player" or "my song isn't overly advanced, I could probably use an intermediate ukulele player." There's a lot of people around OCR with skills we're not even aware of. I'm hoping V6 makes these features a little more refined for users' profiles and collaboration.. A couple other things that would be great, perhaps a place in peoples' profiles where they can list what equipment they use (microphones, etc) which would help determine recording quality.

  12. This one is my favorite, I think it's the best one they've done but that's subjective :3
  13. That's the guy who did the anachronistic covers for BioShock Infinite. Very good
  14. Yes. I listened to it a while back but didn't comment on it yet, I just got off work -- I'll leave some comments in your WIP thread. Sorry for the delay
  15. If you watch trailers for a game on YouTube before it comes out, your related videos later on will be the end game spoilers from that game. Its stupid.
  16. Didn't thou invite them to the listening party event thingy? You silly goose
  17. Nice thing to wake up to. Although the power went off and ruined my render for youtube, so I can't get my song on there yet. > Would have been cool if OCR had I dunno, tweeted or made some kind of fb post or anything.. oh well.. maybe tomorrow..
  18. Did somebody say METAL?! Oh wait... you said.. jazz? best i can do is
  19. I remember trying to apply for OCR jazz collective when it was starting up. But I have little to no jazz skills. ;/

  20. McGroove has done more for auto tune awareness than vgm... At least in my eyes...
  21. Yay, tomorrow! My song is a little old now, but it's still really really good somehow. Really dynamic master, not loud. If I was working with it today I'd probably smash it.
  22. How are you doing meow-meow? :3

  23. Happy day of birth to my favorite hobo
