    Thanks for the kind words. Yellow Valkyrie specifically was made using free soundfonts and some default sounds from FLStudio, specifically Squidfont (for strings), TGSF (for dulcimer and other sounds), and Ellade Percussion (for the dirty sounding drums). Those are all available here: http://soundfonts.darkesword.com/

    As for the sine wave: a sine wave sound really shouldn't be hard to create, as it's the one of the purest, most basic sound you can generate. Any synthesizer plugin should allow you to create a simple sine wave. YV's sine uses a little bit of portamento to give it that pitch-scooping sound on the attack.

    I didn't get anything from Capa, so Rozo advances unopposed. Everything else is up on the GMRB Social Group. You can get download links for the remixes and make your votes in the appropriate threads.

    Nice concept; I really like the guitar parts. Samples are an issue. Need some more humanization on the winds and strings; those string samples especially have a week attack and have that whiny crescendo sound (..eeeeeeEEEEEEE). You need some faster strings. Ocarina sample is good too, focus on that a bit more. Work on velocities and samples and please resub. NO

    It's supposed to make you laugh.

    If only Perry Como was still around to sing for Sonic games.

    I'm extending the X Bracket mixing stage to 00:00 GMT on Wednesday. This works out to 8PM EST on Tuesday. All X Bracket competitors will be allowed to submit revised versions of their mixes by that deadline, even if you've already sent me your mix. Please submit whatever you can, even if it's short. I don't want to start the first round of the this competition with 2 no-shows. It's not fair to other mixers, and it's not fair to the listeners.

    Um, you know he's not actually asking what makes games fun, right? He's informing us about a presentation he'll be making entitled "What Makes Games Fun?"

    OCR is not a place for sharing commercial OST releases.

    Still waiting. I have four entries. Waiting for OneUp, Enigami, Ralphis, and Capa.
  12. DarkeSword
    Where's the entries, guys? I have like, three. :\

    It's just some filtered white noise with an automated cutoff freq.

    Isn't it "at last," not "alas?"

    HOLY CRAP HOW AWESOME IS THIS REMIX!!! It's possible I might be biased, but I think that this is a really well put together piece of music. Production and performance is outta sight. Really wonderful interpretation. I like it! YES

    Okay so I like that part in the middle with the acoustic, but all the really hard metal stuff is not so great. I think that there's too much reverb, and there's not a whole lot of balance. The guitars are filling up the soundscape in a bad way; specifically they're completely overpowering everything else and it all sounds muddy and mashed together. It's kind of difficult to hear any of the other things that are going on because of those guitars. The acoustic part is really nice though and I think you should really focus on expanding that a bit. Needs a lot of work, but I don't think it's a lost cause. NO

    This sounds really nice, but it sounds more like a sketch than a full arrangement. The rhythm guitar does pretty much the same thing throughout the entire piece. It gets a little boring. I think what you need to do, is expand a little bit and give the arrangement some dynamics; not just in terms of volume but also in energy level. You play pretty well, so lets hear you show off a little bit more. I would like to hear this again, because I love Kirby music, and I love guitars. Please resubmit. NO

    Oh this is wonderful! I do love your choice of source tunes as well; Halo has wonderful music. Strings are a bit fakey on the attack, but they're not bad. Great percussion and percussive elements, especially around 1:30. Nice use of choir too; it's not too exposed and it gets the job done. I like the relative dryness of the piano, it sits nicely in the mix. Great stuff. Really captures the feel of the original tracks with a great, groovy spin. YES

    I do love me some dnb. I love the first half of this track. Really hits that sweet spot between jazzy and electronic; great percussion and overall vibe. I feel that later on down the line however, you sort of go off the rails a bit and get really liberal in your interpretation and eventually all semblance of the source tunes are lost. I realize that it's in the nature of the genre for a song to evolve more over time, but this may go on too long and go too far. I like what I heard, but I think some condensing and a stronger connection to the source would help. NO, resub

    Great ideas but I think your balance is off. Needs less reverb and the Slayer especially needs to be mixed better. It's sort of just dominating the soundscape with its drone. Everything sounds a bit over-compressed in a bad way. I love your percussion work here; nice effects and beats. Soundscape itself is pretty nice aside form production issues. Let's hear some fixes and get this back NO, resub

    Hey you know what? How about this? Grow up, stop calling people "faggots" and just play the game. Just don't use the fucking word. It's not going to kill you to hold your tongue. It's an offensive term, and if you use it, you'll be warned about it. If you continue to use it, you'll get kicked and or banned. Alright? Now can we please talk about something actually important? Like the fact that people are making 40,000 in TWO WEEKS from royalties for Polycount Items?
  23. DarkeSword
    Hey that's pretty cool. Thanks.

    -Dan accidentally clicked "report" instead of reply. Here's the message he meant to post:

    "Ok. I undestand you. I'll think about it and contact you when I have the cash. Thx"

    Where did you find it for that much?
