Jason Covenant

Happy Birthday!

These are awesome. I have just one small request. Could mine say "Jason Covenant" instead of Prophecy? I'm going to be submitting all new music under that name.

The Associated Press article linked to by cnet is dated today. And it states that the floods are expected to continue for weeks. The death toll is also expected to rise. This is a human tragedy currently unfolding.

A series of floods kills hundreds of people and displaces hundreds of thousands more and the primary concern is hard drive prices?

Well, Akuma and I just his theme, so it would've been just a tad redundant. Flex has also remixed it.

I'm making a video tutorial. I've just recorded it and am now editing. Provided that nothing comes up today, it should be done fairly soon.

Ok, I've been thinking of making a tutorial on this topic but I wasn't sure if anyone was interested. Give me some time to put something together explaining my methods.

I must concur. I think that competitions have been very important in my own development. Mr. L, I think you would be missing out on an excellent opportunity if you passed this up.

I might be able to help. Listen to the piano at the beginning (and end) of this track: http://jasoncovenant.bandcamp.com/track/dark-brew-of-the-wolf I cannot play piano. That is 100% sequenced. My methods are fairly involved, but if that's along the lines of what you're looking for, I may be able to help.

The Concrete Men are now filled!

Unfortunately, it seems Roe's going to be too busy to participate. So, The Concrete Men has lost a member and has an open 3rd slot.

My team has picked a name. We are The Concrete Men.

Strong opinions on music and politics are not mutually exclusive. I'm curious, what exactly do you expect "bashing and venting" on an internet forum to do to change our political landscape?

Is it just me or do really bad songs almost always begin with waking up in the morning? Either the person is shown waking up, or the lyrics begin with it.

I have a team. It's myself, AkumajoBelmont and RoeTaKa. We are still coming up with a name.

You're right I could've changed the base pattern after a while, but I didn't think it was necessary since the song is less than 3 minutes and the drums play for only a little more than half.

Thanks. Well, it breaks pretty frequently already. Not sure what else I can do there. I can always add more drum layers though. Do you mean the portamento synth is too thin? Or is that the ghost synth? The midrange is pretty full - I think you meant low mids which entertain little instrumentation in the song. Well, I usually have large dominant drums in my tracks, but for this song I thought I'd try just making something to establish the rhythm and let the instruments control the focus. What do you mean by more sound? Do you mean more instruments or more frequencies? Which one is the ghost synth? It's not a matter of readiness and I don't intend on making significant changes. The song has served its purpose for me. I did a lot of things in it I don't normally do, and it was a fun use of 3 hours. If you don't think I should submit as is, that's fine. Besides, I'm making/have recently made a lot of new remixes. Hopefully 1 or 2 of them can pass the panel.

Not sure if I should submit this or not. http://jasoncovenant.com/ghost-in-wilys-machine Either way, it was fun to make. I *might* make a few last minute changes, but as far as I'm concerned it's basically done.

This took way longer to render the final than I would've liked, but here's the thread for it: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37110

Since it seems Darkesword won't be organizing a Wily Machine project, sure. I've got a few hours to spare this evening, so expect something tomorrow.

As I said on FB, Steve was instrumental in creating the first mouse-based computer interface. If it weren't for him, it's unlikely we'd have the DAW's that we have now. May he rest in peace.

Beethoven.

Congrats on the book release!

That's awesome. If Darkesword wishes to resume his role as fearless leader and organizes it, I'm down.
