The Force Unleashed Fallout 3 Crackdown (pretty fun) SSFT2 HD Remix

Hybrid Heaven got trashed for some reason - and I think it still GETS hated on, by some people - but I thought it was awesome. The combat system was brilliant, the environments and monsters non-traditional, the story compelling.

Someone recreated a whole bank of Virus presets using Zebra. It sounds just as good if not better, and is certainly more flexible, cheaper, and easier to use.

Practice as much as you can, simple as that. There's no one "right" way to do it. Practice for hours a day and I guarantee you'll get good.

I disagree that the Virus is the go-to dance synth. Tons of people use softsynths as well as hardware ones like the Nord Lead. A few popular softsynths would be FM7/FM8, Reaktor, Albino, Nexus, Vanguard, Predator, and Zebra.

"Deep" is pushing it... it's not even as complicated as basic Javascript. It's all plain English, no real coding needed.

That's still only a handful of ReMixers out of hundreds, and again, we don't encourage it.

Nice... love the organ stabs, that's Jilted style. Audio quality is awful though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WaG1vV_92M&fmt=18 This one is what I'm REALLY looking forward to. That bass is just gross.

It's a group only for Drexel students, and of the Music Industry department, there aren't that many composers. We already pretty much have everyone who is interested in actual composition as members of the group, which is kinda cool. Our main focus is just finding gigs right now so people can get practice. I don't think anyone there is really interested in having me 'teach' anything outside of business-related stuff, though I field any and all questions if people have them. Wingless; Email me bro!

That's exactly what he remixed - you'll hear it when it gets posted. I'm still pretty sure experimental stuff could easily get posted here. Look at BT's latest album. VERY experimental - nothing is in 4/4 across the whole thing and just about everything is insanely chopped, warped, and bent to hell. Massive 15 minute soundscapes. But there are still melodies of sorts.

We're offering this.. well, indefinitely, unless the club shuts down (and under my watch, it won't.) And yeah, we'd be happy to help with that project.

Awesome! When you're ready just shoot me a message with all the details.

Being that it's a Drexel group, the primary purpose is really education. I want people to get as much real world practice as possible. To that end, taking on unpaid projects is A-OK (as long as it's not some kind of profitable/commercial endeavor!) We've never done music for something without visuals, but I could always see if anyone in the group wants to give it a shot. I haven't personally given any lessons on technical aspects of composing, though I have talked about more general topics like copyright and music licensing. After all, everyone in the Music program here is required to take a variety of courses that hone their production skills. People in the group definitely know how to use a DAW, as we have to use Logic and Pro Tools here to get through first-year classes.

I guess we have different definitions of relevance & popularity. In the late 90s, Prodigy, TCM and the Chems were so big that they were reaching mainstream audiences. They were never as big as pop/rock acts of the time but their names are still known today. My sister (an academic music theory PhD student) knows who Prodigy is. Deadmau5? No way. Daft Punk is the closest group performing today to reach outside the 'electronica crowd'. No matter how good Dieselboy is, and he IS good, he doesn't even come close to that. Pendulum is the closest by far, but even they have little reach in the U.S. (only in the U.K., really, and maybe Australia.) I think this new material from Prodigy is probably not enough to propel them to that upper level of popularity that they had before, but no electronic group except DP is close to that, currently. Maybe The Chemical Brothers.. maybe. When I said Prodigy aren't out to please people, I meant more that they are not ones to follow trends, generally speaking. They tend to just do whatever they want, hence the heavy rap/lyrical emphasis which is really unusual for electronica, as well as the highly distorted sounds and unorthodox beats. This new material is not groundbreaking anymore, but more of a refinement of their previous sound, granted. Their live show really isn't like the live shows of other acts either. They have a unique image.

I'm the head of the Drexel Composers Group, a student organization at Drexel University. We're always on the lookout for projects to score, commercial or otherwise. If you have a game, demo, animation, video, reel, short clip, or anything else that needs music, give us a shout - EVEN if it's just a simple project you've had lying on your hard drive for years, or if it's a student gig. http://drexelcomposers.wordpress.com/need-music-click-here/ <- Click here for more info! Note; I'm normally too busy to do any music myself for the group, so this is a post primarily on behalf of the other composers in the group.

I don't think relevance really matters. Who is "relevant" now, anyway? All the big club hits of the last.. 5 years or so have been totally disposable. "Smack My Bitch Up" and "Busy Child", to name two examples, still hold legendary status. I honestly don't think guys like Deadmau5 will hold the test of time. Pendulum... maybe. But for the last few years, all the popular club music has just been flavor-of-the-month (usually electro house) with very little substance. Omen might not be a big club hit but the Prodigy really have never been about trying to please everyone.. except with Invaders Must Die (the song) I guess. AONO was a great example of this. I really enjoyed it. "Girls" was sick, as was "The Way It Is" and "Get Up Get Off". I like that they're closer to rock, and focus more on catchy hooks and songwriting rather than mindless production tricks.

Absolutely great. I'm even more excited about some of the other tracks off this new album, such as "Warrior's Dance" - though I really DIDN'T like "Invaders Must Die."

Alt account of a troll.

Yes and yes. I've been using it since 2007 and while they're SLOW as anything, and very slow to both report usage and pay you (not really their fault) I've gotten some nice placements. If your music is great, it's worth it. You do need great music. You're competing against top artists and really talented composers so it's a waste of time unless you could really see your music being used by other professionals.

No, there's no easy way to do it outside of writing a program to keep making calls to it. That's the intended behavior of a USB drive, unfortunately.

This is great, man! Probably a lot better than the game itself, but hey, Artoon was cool so who knows The feel of the tracks reminds me of Lucky Star or Azumanga Daioh (two of the very few anime shows I have endured watching) except with phatter beats.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this that I can hear. Maybe FL's output device is different than the device you use to listen to music normally?

They're not going to reprogram FL from the ground up. They'd rather make a new program entirely than remake FL, which makes a lot of sense. They're doing well enough without the Mac market, anyway, probably thanks to people like me and Jimmy that tirelessly use it and buy addons
