No, what I'm saying is that there's no "convert" button you need to be pressing in Winamp. You keep mentioning a converter and a decoder but Winamp doesn't need any of these things to be able to write its audio out to disk. Can you take some screenshots of what you're seeing and post them here? Also, it needs to be stated: an RSN file is not an audio file. It's actually a RAR file filled with SPCs.

You really shouldn't need a "decoder" to do any of this. What is this decoder you're trying to use? Also it doesn't matter if you have Winamp Pro or not; free Winamp has always been able to write-to-disk with the DiskWriter output plugin.

SO COOL

I'm excited about this. I played Darkwing Duck A LOT as a kid. It's pretty much a secret Mega Man game.

In the future, please try to post your threads in the correct places rather than relying on moderators to move them. This doesn't have anything to do with Site Issues.

Breath of the Wild isn't in any timeline. It's very clearly leaning into the original idea behind the series: that the story of Link, Zelda, and Ganon is a legend that's told over and over again, where the details change slightly every time. The game has its own internal continuity; 10,000 years ago some stuff happened with Link, Zelda, and Ganon. Then 100 years ago some other stuff happened. But that's all internal to this game. The multiple timelines thing from Hyrule Historia is a clumsy and convoluted retrofitting of fandom's obsession with "canonicity" to a series that never really had any intention of adhering to strict timelines. It's The Legend of Zelda, not The Complete and Accurate Historical Account of Zelda. Furthermore, Zelda is a video game first and uses storytelling to frame the game experience. There's no grand narrative planned for the series. Nintendo makes a game that fits into the series thematically and makes some references to other games to please the fans and then moves on to the next one.

BOSS BATTLE IS LIVE

Strong track with great performances and an interesting take on the sources. Loved this when it hit the SFRG. Chorus vocals are mixed a bit weird but no dealbreakers for me. Love it. YES

It's spam, John. Sorry about that.

YO ITS THE BIG TIME SONNNNNN

Folks, voting is up for round 1. I'll put round 2 up tonight. I encourage everyone to leave some reviews in the voting threads.

Hey folks. I've decided to continue on with the compo. I'll be posting Round 3 match-ups tonight, and Round 1 and Round 2 music together tomorrow night for voting. For those wondering about my family emergency, my mom passed away last week while visiting India. While I certainly appreciate any condolences you have to offer, please do not post them in this thread; I'd like to keep the thread on-topic. A "like" on this post would be fine, though. Thanks for understanding! I'm looking forward to everyone's entries moving forward.

I don't understand the point of this thread. I don't think you actually know what perfect pitch is. Locking.

Hey everyone. Due to a family emergency, I'm going to have to put the competition on hold. I'm very sorry. Round 2 remixers, please continue with this week and submit your remixes on Sunday. We'll pick back up with Round 3 once things settle down. Again, I'm very sorry.

tonight

What's happening with this? Can we get a new thread from the new director? Wither @Theory of N?

Round 2 match-ups are up.

There's a sparseness to this track that's really bothering me. I like the sound design but that section at 4:00 with the pads should have come in a LOT earlier. You're kind of relying way too much on that variable-speed plucking synth too. There's really very little going on except for percussion and lead here; even the builds are mostly just the synth's speed changing. This is repetitive and plods a bit. Needs more variation. NO (resub)
