bahamut YO USUCK

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

i got regular flu and felt pretty dead i almost had to go to the hospital!

i don't know, but i'll QUOTE the picture for emphasis

Darke, I enjoyed meeting you at the NY meetup and i hope you stick around. You're a cool guy

i didn't draw it. click on the picture to find out where it's from

sauzer this is pretty hot man! You really hit me with a lot in this. I feel like your arrangement is totally solid. All I can really give at this point is preferences, but you did some kickass work. I feel like the drums overall are really treble dominated. A lot of high frequencies. Maybe bringing up the bass a little big? I dunno. The only thing I can say about the piece as a whole is that it's a bit angular in terms of instrument cutoffs, probably specifically in the bass. Maybe a little reverb? I wish I could be of more help. I feel like this needs to be fuller, just take up more space sound wise. Please don't let this post confuse you. But I really dig it and hope that it makes it on the site at some point.

I've messed around with levels and compression and stuff, and recorded a live vibes solo! Is the recording quality and stuff okay? I hope so http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3

If i transpose the bass down an octave, it'll go out of the physical playing range!! but i agree with the reverb, I'm working on that now.

I really enjoy listening to this. I really like what you've got going on sonically here--I love the drums, and i love the chiptune sound to it. You've also got some nice counterpoint going on. I'm not a fan of the wierd chirpy things, but that's not a big deal (i think they could be less frequent/less long). I listen to this a lot actually, in the car, when walking, it's really cool. At first I didn't appreciate it that much, which is why I'm not posting this until now. After a while i really started to dig it's style. Nice job

I dig this so deep i think i hit a water main

chavous, hit me up with a sample of you playing!

i love you for this

Okay i know that this is a triple post but I don't care screw you guys. I have used a Hammond B3 organ for my lead sound as reccomended by someone (forgot who sorry!) in irc, Chavous' livekit and bass soundfonts that he reccomended, and a simple piano soundfont. I can't find for the life of me saxophone soundfonts. What else should i do on the production end? I tried to mess around with the saxophone GM sounds but that's not gonna get me far. Is it time to hammer the prophet of mephisto and hope he'll record for me? Vibe solo coming soon http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3

Put some soundfonts in there, it's starting to shape up http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3

now i know what an article is! Thanks grammar ninja!

Yaay arrangement is done! At least I think. Any more arrangement ideas are welcome, i'm sure i'll continue to add stuff in as I go. Now to make these sounds better. Oh yeah, i replaced the lead with an organ, as someone reccomended. I think i like it better, but i'm not totally satisfied. Perhaps I'll just take the pitch bends out. http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3

proph do you wanna play saxes for me

So my gf was over today and she said that she thought that the lead instrument sounded out of place--but only the lead. Any thoughts as to what to use? I was thinking of trying bowed vibes...? Anyway, while i was in the shower i decided to completely revamp the solo section (which will still be live). I set up my vibes today and i'm psyched. Don't know when I'll record though, i should finish the arrangement first. http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3

UPDATE: January 1, 2007 I've expanded the arrangement a bit, i need to end it soon. If you guys can reccomend some good soundfonts, that'd be great too. Specifically for the drumset, i need a good acoustic kit, relatively high tuning, that can be funky. I'm thinking about asking the prophet of mephisto to record saxes. And the vibraphone will be live. http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3
