Yeah, yes really. What, $400 and 60gb of your hard drive? You can get a good guitar for that and spare your storage. And by the time you learn to use the library properly, you can most likely play guitar at a beginner level.
Total waste of money. If it cost $50 or $75, I'd recommend it.

Nah, I've already got other plans for that song. Thanks though.
-
Well, first you should get a job, and then you should buy a good mic, and then you should buy a good mixer with built in pre-amps, and a good soundcard to record all this into.
Total of about $300 can get you all of this. There's no $20 solution.

This competition is fucking gay, I quit.

What a waste of money

I wonder if you have any Real NOtes or guitar pro tabs on your song?
Who exactly are you talking to in your post?
If you're asking me, I don't have anything tabbed or written out. Everything was improvised.
-
No demos or WIPs, at least for now.

Alright, time to bump this up again. Bit of an update, work is coming along smoothly.

To be honest, this is not my favourite song that I've heard from Zircon. It's a good song, but it sounds like it just needs to break out into something more, and it never really does.
Instrumentation is good, but the fake guitars pierce my ears and cause me to shit myself and vomit at the same time... well.. not LITERALLY, but you get the idea!
Something is just lacking to me, can't quite put my finger on it, but the song as a whole comes off a little hollow. The strongest part of the song for me is the intro, after the song comes in, everything falls apart a bit. The orchestral section comes in too abruptly and just seems out of place, and then the guitars come in awkwardly and everything seems like it's missing bits of transitional magic that would elevate this song to being complete.
Fadeout ending sucks
If you're gonna do a fadeout, at least do it with STYLE!Anyways, I had fun with this mix, despite the problems. NO RESUB

<3 Taucer!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Also, bluefox, didn't you just buy a guitar? And aren't you still just starting out as a player? Why the fuck do you need a second one? You fail at life
-
Eh, I don't see what all the hype is about, this sounds way too generic. The intro is so unbelievably cliche and predictable that it ruins the rest of the song for me (which is also predictable). The chord change at 2:00 is great, but the progression, rhythm, melody all stay the same, and that annoying and repetitive drum beat starts to drive me crazy by then.
The mixing is nice, though a bit unbalanced at times, I'm sure that'll get worked out in later versions.
Overall, what this song needs is variation, because right now it's just an annoying loop.

Gibson guitars are a waste of money. Sorry.

Free drum sounds are fantastic. The only reason anyone should get something like DFHS is if they really know what they're doing with live drums.
As for guitars, stick to free soundfonts with that as well. All the VSTi's for guitars out there are garbage. They all cost a shit ton of money and either sound completely fake and stupid (all but one of them...) or they sound okay but take up 60gb of your hard drive (prominy lpc, that one...)
-
so cmon, new track time right!?
-
I'm switching my song out. Whoever picked Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2 needs to be shot between the eyes.

Unless your going for an optimum/different sound on a vst type thing, Equing is usually not needed, as they are already designed to sound proper, and any further equing would be personal preference. If your recording something with a mic, take a look at your mic's frequence chart and you may wana boost some of the frequencies which the mic tends to lack.
You fail. VSTs are NOT made to sound "proper", the ones that aren't completely unprocessed are made to sound decent as a starting point. You have to EQ everything because the dynamics of a mix change from song to song. Generalizing like this is a surefire path to continued failure.
The most important thing you need to do when you get to the EQ portion of the mixing process is to stop and think about what your goal for the song is. If it's a rock, hip hop, dance, techno (or any other similar style) tune, then your first order of business is to get a good sounding bass drum. You should EQ everything around that bass drum, and make sure you leave plenty of room between the lower registers of your mix. NOTHING eats up a compressors bandwidth like low frequencies. Seperation in the low end (30-250hz) is the key to clarity, and clarity defines your low end better, and in turn makes it sound more powerful than just boosting the fuck out of all your low frequencies and crowding the spectrum and making a muddy mess.

I take the internet too seriously because I am a social outcast and it is important to me.
See what I did?

The lyrics aren't particularily relevant to Donkey Kong, the melodies and rhythm only contain obscure hints at any source. That source is the pre-SNES Donkey kong, btw. If you're attempting to get this on OCR, it's gonna take a massive reworking of most of it, or a massive re-write to most of the submission standards.
This isn't my kind of music, but I'm not gonna go so far as to say it isn't music. However, this is hardly OCR-stuff. While you might win the popularity contest with this, you'd probably get an instant rejection letter if you submitted it, unless the Judges want to list the reasons themselves for laughs.
So, nice track. Now how about a real vgm remix?

And Snap...!! That's just annoying.
This is terrible feedback. You obviously fail at realizing what the point of music actually is. For shame.

ooooooooooooooooooo

Not really. Just Danimal Cannon and Kidd Cabbage. Norg and CPacaud are from the VGMix side of things, Sixto is from OCR, and I'm from all over the place!

Updated. Read first post.

Bwahahaha! I got many demos coming in. This is great so far. Update coming soon with final lineup and all that jazz.

Ughh.... fail
There is no cost effective way to get a big band arrangement that sounds good. As you can clearly hear in Hemo's track, getting any two people to be in tune is next to impossible unless you have good players. And good players will not be offering to play for free in your college, they will be out making money, and you'll have to pay them.
