Who's Drake?

Who's Drakesword?

Someone's trying to backpedal. He's not doing a very good job.

You think that's bad? It's quickly killing me from the outside.

What note did you play?

Short answer: No. You don't really need a long answer.

Just fucking brilliant. Nice work all around.

The WIP forum is on the front-page.

Why are you saying that to Unsung Plumber? He's not a mod. And your posts are deleted because you treat the boards like a chatroom. It's not a chatroom, it's a message board. Don't spam with pointless crap like "hey man whats up," and don't take every opportunity you can to post off-topic one-liners pointing out that you feel you're being treated unfairly. You're not.

Use the PM feature if you want to address specific members of the community. :\

Stickied.

Renamed the subject to something more descriptive. Let's stay away from vague thread titles like "I need help."

What's that really going to accomplish though? It's still not getting more people to comment on tracks in a good way. Becoming a "Pro-WIP Reviewer" isn't enough of an incentive, IMO.

Are we still gonna call it ORMGAS? I mean...respecting the history is fine, but can't we just start calling it OCR Radio?

I'm pretty sure we'll never institute an RPG system since that's VGMix's approach... MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE ACHIEVEMENTS?!

And we thank you for that. Do you find it helpful? I'm genuinely curious.

If you don't know what to look for, we have a Handy Dandy Checklist™.

Yeah I mean...the special effects in the old movies are really cheesy too. xD

Trying to hard with that low bass harmony. There's too much going on down there and it's muddying up the soundscape. Organ sample sounds like it's being played backwards; the weak attack is no good here. 16-note rhythms aren't balanced and start bouncing all over the place. Your drums are lost in that low bass drone. There's too much wooshiness everywhere that's distracting from the actual music. It doesn't feel like you paid enough attention to how the sounds and parts are supposed to lock in with each other until the end. Everything sounds like a mish-mash, and the worst offender is that low bass droning synth. Get rid of it. Don't even bother trying to scale it back, just axe it and try something else that isn't going to pervasively overpower everything. This needs a lot of work; the arrangement kind of meanders around and never really focuses on a single idea. Some people call that avant-guard; I call it sloppy. Think more about locking things together rhythmically, balancing your instruments, and listening to your piece as a whole, not just as a collection of separate parts. Synergy is key in almost any piece of music. NO

One thing that really strikes me is that nearly all the portraits of everyone depict the characters as young people. Even Celine looks mid-20s. It makes the way the story play out that much more poignant and raw.

I surprised even myself. Most of the time I was sitting here saying "ain't no way this shotgun's gonna hit. oh shit..."

I'll provide you with a MIDI of one of my super old mixes and you can upgrade it. Collaboration for the win. EDIT: I merged the threads. No sense in having two. EDIT THE SECOND: I'm also pimping this out to everyone I know. Really awesome job man.

jesus this is brilliant

Actually, Temple of Doom was the only Indy movie where Dr. Jones was kind of required to save the day. All the Nazis ended up dying when they opened the Ark (as they would have even if he wasn't there), and they never would have been able to remove the Grail from the temple, with or without Indy. It's a staple of Indy movies that the macguffin ends up destroying the villains of its own accord. That was the case here, as well.
