A lot of the other joojes covered most of my gripes (like the simplicity in the writing and the thinness of the synths), so there's not much more to say aside from "where's the bassline?" There are some places where you start dropping some classy beats, but there's no meaty bassline to play with that. I think that it's hurting this piece. This is so close to a YES for me, but I think with a few tweaks this track could really shine. NO

You must not have ever played with me.

An instrumental version of "Reset" is used in-game. It's one of the themes in the ending sequences. It's also what McVaffe remixed.

Alright, you need to stop asking these questions all in one thread. Please take it to the remixing forum and provide some details about your problem: what kind of hardware are you using, what programs are you using to record, etc. etc.

No. Fuck medleys. We don't need that shit.

Actually, let's be totally honest here. This particular arrangement is about 70% Sixto, 30% me. Sixto deserves a lot more props on this song than I do. I suppose I should link the original arrangement I did. Get your tortilla chips out people, 'cause this is pure cheese: Sonic the Hedgehog - Melted Marble

1. It's a blurry line. Generally speaking, we're looking for something cohesive; stay away from medleys and develop your musical ideas. 2. There is no tried and true method. Everyone has their own preferred workflow. Just find whatever works for you. 3. Yes.

Threads about games belong in Community. Moved. And yes, Okami rox.

My mistake then.

Except Baccano's got a second season with more eps coming out. And yeah, FMA is a long series. Let's try to stay on topic people. This is not generic-anime-recommendation thread. This is specifically for short series. Let's try to not recommend anything over 24-26 episodes (and even that is pushing it).

We do have an anime thread, so you really should post there... http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14009 On the other hand, this is kind of a specific topic, so I'll let it slide. I'm thinking about killing the Anime thread though, it's just too general. Anyway, check out Black Lagoon. It's 26 episodes, but it's a whole bunch of smaller arcs thrown together without a huge overarching plotline. You can stop after any of the story arcs (though I don't know why you'd want to, it's very good).

Well said.

The synths in this song are terribly generic, thin and buzzy. There's no depth to the soundscape, no balance between elements. There's also this really weird polyrhythm triplet-vs.-16th-16th-8th going on that doesn't really work. The percussion is very repetitive and generic. Not a fan of the sampled the original game audio the way it's used here; nothing about the instrumental is really locking with the vocals. It's just a lot of syncopated lines with her randomly coming in and out. Not feeling this one at all. NO

Fixed it.

No favorites threads allowed. Also, if you're new, post an intro in the newbies forum. And cut the "lordly" attitude. This isn't an RP forum. Welcome to OCR. Locked.

Okay, what? Are you really suggesting they pony up for tons of KILLER ANTS?

Gregor Samsa turned into a cockroach.

Just want to address this: I played trumpet for 8 years in school and played a lot of jazz in high school. I don't perform anymore (haven't done so in 6-7 years), but I do come out of a kind of instrumentalist mindset when it comes to composing. Regardless, thanks for the kind words.

Fixed. The method works in theory, but in practice you'll end up with a lot of weird artifacts.

Haha. No I wasn't being serious.

Why are you bringing sexual orientation into this?!

drammatica is an amazing album.

You can play any of my posted mixes. Just click my sig for my OCR profile.

Sorry, but I just wanted to address this. Piano roll is far more intuitive than staff notation. It's so much easier to visualize intervals and relationships between notes because, well, they're staring you in the face. I can see that a chord is minor by just looking at it, instead of reading what the notes actually are and figuring out where they fall in the diatonic scale (I realize of course that to a trained person, the time saved is a matter of a few seconds, but still). By the same token, when you're composing, you're less likely to confine yourself to the diatonic scale. I hate the term accidental, because it makes it seem like you wrote something you weren't supposed to write. Music can sound a lot more interesting when you branch out from just the 8 notes in a scale.
