  1. Square Enix should team up with DC Comics Before the Countdown to Infinite Final Crisis Core on Infinitely Multiple Earths. Endlessly. Only a select few will even know what I'm talking about.
  2. Actually, remixers, especially ones that us FL, wouldn't find it interesting at all. Using the piano roll in FL is the most basic part of sequencing. That's what sequencing something IS: recognizing intervals and writing them in the sequencer. This isn't interesting. Saying that remixers would find it interesting is like saying writers would find a video of someone taking dictation interesting.
  3. What's a GenDisc? Also: General Leo death > Aeris Death *flee*
  4. There are a lot more excellent FF mixes on this site than just the FF7 project. Particularly stuff from games other than 7. These are the FF mixes I have from OCR.

  5. A lot of the mirrors are down. I removed them all. I'll try to put more up later.
  6. Pretty much any modern BT client worth using these days allows for multiple file selection. If a person is using a client that doesn't support that feature, they should update their BT client.
  7. To be honest, after seeing VGLive, I wouldn't buy the CD. The arrangements for the most part aren't anything you're not going to find anywhere else. The primary draw of the show is the fact that you're seeing it, well, live. Other than that, the track selection is fairly standard/straightforward. Mario, Zelda, Halo, WoW; all relatively "mainstream" titles as far as game music goes. Also, the Mario and Zelda arrangements are the same ones we've been hearing over and over again since Orchestral Game Concert. A lot of the other music is straight stuff from the games with very little arrangement at all, considering they're from more modern games. A CD like this is for a person who still finds game music played by orchestras to be a novelty; the audience is there, but for people who listen to OC ReMixes, OSTs and arrange albums, I don't think that you're going to find this CD to be particularly impressive.
  8. This has a lot to do with mixing, actually. Try Audacity.
  9. I would strongly suggest NOT playing OverLooked ReMixes on actual radio.
  10. As long as it's not a continued subscription thing, I might consider it.
  11. So far, nothing sticks out at me music-wise, just a lot of orch stuff. Nothing really in vein of the previous soundtracks yet. Hopefully the soundtrack picks up a bit.
  12. You should probably play the first two before the third one, only because once you play Corruption with the reportedly awesome Wii controls, you might find the previous two games rather stiff, as they are not dual-analog free-look shooters. Don't get me wrong, I really like the control scheme for MP1 and Echoes, but I can't imagine what it would be like to revert after using motion controls.
  13. As a former trumpet player, that trumpet sample stabs me clean through the gut with its attack. An arrangement like this calls for something with a much more delicate articulation, even in the higher range. I've never understood why people who sample the instrument persist in recording that blaring, heavy attack. Aside from that, this arrangement shows a lot of depth, despite its straightforwardness. Nice woodwind writing, especially flutes. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the judges that voted NO. There's an issue of dynamics and balance here; not in terms of arrangement but in terms of production. The trumpet sample is far too exposed whenever it plays and everything else turns into a mish-mash wall of sound. NO, but resubmit this. an arrangement like this needs to be on OCR. you've got your concept, now work on the execution.
  14. I felt this was a little lacking in the high end, but it's not a deal breaker. Great beats, nice arrangement, along with some great countermelodic fills. i liek it YES
  15. Looks like I'm getting it tomorrow. I wish "release" dates weren't ship dates.
  16. This is what I called the "Cycle of Mediocrity," years ago when VGMix2 launched. There was a lot of that "crap-praising" going on, just for the sake of making people feel good about their work, even if it wasn't great; those people got a bit of an ego boost and would praise other folks' so-so work. It just continued like that. It's difficult to combat in an official capacity without adding yet-another-layer of bureaucracy to the whole process. I've had vague ideas about pre-approval/sponsorship before submission, but it only serves to make things even slower.
  17. You should probably read the first post in this thread.
  18. I really liked how I was portrayed in the fantasy story. Wish there was more. :\
  19. Release date everywhere says August 27th, so I'm pretty sure it's out today. Of course, it might be one of those stupid ass "we don't get it until tomorrow" deals.
  20. Anyone get it yet? I'm hoping to pick it up after work today. The music will likely own my soul, so I hope to remix something from it and go for the hat trick.
