When starting a thread, you should provide a link or an explanation as to what you're talking about. Don't just start up a conversation assuming people already know what you're discussing. I added a link to the Bitwig site in the first post.

NO, resub I like the arrangement but a lot of these leads are really vanilla. The portamento'd lead somehow doesn't seem to sit in the mix properly. Feels really dry and exposed. They heavy syncopation of the melody doesn't really lend itself well to the portamento. Sequencing is really mechanical. I realize that you're not trying to imitate live instruments, but there are sections like 1:50-ish where there's practically no change in velocities throughout the entire melodic line. Needs some work I think.

Part 1 of the comic book sequel series is already out. If you haven't read it yet, you really should. It's very good and the tone of the book is basically the same as the show. If you are a TLA fan then it's basically required reading.

You don't need to make one thread per track if you're putting out an album.

For non-competitors. Sig: Badge:

New music is up. 7 remixes were submitted, Sir_NutS advances by default. Check the first post for music and hit the social group for this week's round of voting.

My advice to the black men of America: Go home and be a family man. Hadouken Matchups are updated. Shoryuken remixes imminent.

The music in this show is incredible.

You can't talk about anime openings without talking about .

Yeah I agree, the volume of the voices in the CGI shorts were too loud. The actual cel-animated ones were fine though. I like the one where Palutena is chasing the carrots around. I think she might be my new #1 Nintendo girl.

Their DRM isn't SecuRom.

Andy when you finish your track, send it to me. I'll include it in what we send over to Capcom.

Thanks. I'm trying something new with the look of the compo.

Remixes are up. 7 remixes were submitted. Gario advances by default.

I have an iPod Classic in my car.

Shoryuken Bracket matchups are up. Get mixing.

Need mixes from Zircon, Gario, and Phonetic Hero.

Remember, all reviews should go in the album feedback thread, linked in the first post.

It's alright, I guess. ...

Learning some very basic theory also helps in transcription. When you can listen to a song and understand it's in a major key, that immediately narrows note choices down, and harmony is easier to figure out because harmony is generally written diatonically. When you understand what intervals are and are able to identify them, it's easier to figure out a melody. You can go note by note pretty efficiently when you know your intervals. Same with rhythms; if you know about time signatures and understand how meter can be broken up and organized, it becomes easier to figure out syncopated lines. Unless you're absolutely tone-deaf, transcription by ear is a skill you can easily hone with practice and honestly, it's less about super-mega-talent and more about having the tools to be more efficient with your "guesses." I do everything by ear.

The discussion happening in this thread is pretty healthy. Don't really need more posts like this.

I am pretty excited. This is going to be my first Diablo game.

Origin isn't bad. People just like to whine.

Judge decisions are posted publicly and can be read by anyone. The way the decision for that mix plays out can easily be interpreted as a discouragement of pure chiptunes to be submitted; not that it necessarily is, just that it can easily be read that way. You really don't have to stretch that far to get that conclusion, especially based on my own vote, which was basically a NO vote on technical grounds (i.e. "no because I based on other decisions we don't accept chiptunes"). Incidentally, that was a bad vote on my part. If the entire crux of your argument here is "I don't understand how ANYONE could think that!" then you need to take a step back and realize that people are going to interpret things in different ways. You have to remember, this was like 5+ years ago. I'm not trying to get all "you're just a kid on you" because that's dumb and irrelevant, but you really were not around on OCR back then and kind of lack the context of the mindset and feel of the site. Espergirl wasn't rejected on compositional grounds (although that probably should have been the reason it was NO'd, IMO), so to call it out as being "composer-wank" (to borrow the term you borrowed from me ) in the context of discussion why it was rejected is silly. A little more reading, a little less posting, bro.
