  1. jesus christ that's a fuckload of vgm seriously wtf
  2. did you guys hear something? just the wind anyway, I'm mixing first
  3. well I had some mixposts and I would recommend all of my own music to you so there, that was easy as fuck
  4. this competition is basically halloween costumes for our posts also, I don't know if this matters or if I'm supposed to post it here or what, but we've decided that I am going to be remixing first for our team
  5. if you don't change your avatar to match your sig you're not cool those are the rules
  6. guys we forgot to include the most formidable robot master of all http://brentalfloss.com/comic17
  7. awesome sigs, rexy! thanks so much :] gonna hotlink mine temporarily until I get home from work, if that's alright. I'll upload it to my own location in about an hour or two here NOW LET'S THROW DOWN, BITCHES
  8. my honest opinion is that I don't enjoy it a whole lot but I 'liked' it anyway and stuff
  9. my main complaint is not with the fact that it's dubstep, or even that it's another generic "wobble ocremix" that have been flooding the WIP boards as of late. the arrangement is solid, the sounds are clear and bright, and the wobble is pretty creative at points my problem lies with the drums. not the drum patterns, but the dryness and lack of volume. they sound completely neglected. my advice would be to learn drum compression techniques, and even more importantly drum EQ settings. dubstep snares almost always have a large mid-to-low end punch, for example. there is a specific "thickness" (not to mention reverb) that makes a simple dubstep drum track perfectly accentuate the rest of the style, and this remix is distinctly lacking it. I don't HATE this remix or anything. I was just really surprised that those drums didn't raise any red flags, and wanted to make some appropriate suggestions
  10. my choices: snake man metal man cut man wood man tornado man emunator's on our team now! when do we make a team name?
  11. sorry about breaking up the band, guys... ecto and I hang out in person fairly often. when he told me about the nature of the gauntlet, and I heard that halc+willrock+nutritious were joining forces, I basically forced him to team up with me I'll post my robo master choices soon
  12. discovering you have something in common with a rich black dude is never easy
  13. basically every instrument BESIDES the wobbly stuff needs an upgrade, in my opinion maybe not the drums, but you need another thicker layer of drum sounds on top. the drum set does not carry the song well enough instead of using better samples for the non-wobble instruments, you could get creative with lots of effects to make the sounds less generic and dry that's just my two cents. the wobble is spot on, aside from MAYBE needing to be equalized a bit thicker (not totally sure on that), but the other instruments do not carry it
  14. what the hell you wrote a damn book ... that's all I can think to say, sorry. I'm kind of in awe if I had monies I'd probably buy it on principle alone
  15. fuck yeearghh, matey! lots of balance issues in this first version, gonna try and hijack halc's headphones for great justice etc thanks for the feedback so far guys
  16. this is probably NOT intended for ocr submission. it's more likely the beginning of a small (or large) revival of one of my old project ideas: "forbidden remix" it was basically me trying to make anti-OCR style remixes (youtube-friendly, if you will) by sampling the entire original chiptunes, while trying to at least write a little bit of music and keep the production level high my production skills have improved a lot since the idea's original conception, and I've broadened my perspective on electronic dance music to the point where I have a more focused vision, yada yada yada whatever. point is, this is going to sound like me selling out, and that's what I'm going for http://soundcloud.com/bbriggsmusic/zelda-g4m3-b0y-remix-preview I have no monitoring headphones, so I have no idea what this actually sounds like from a mastering perspective. I've just been trying to watch my dB meter and using decent computer speakers. all criticisms and suggestions happily welcome
  17. Zelda II: Commit suicide. the greatest achievement of all
  18. fine, but only because you told me to happy birthday okra protoplasm and vindiesel
