Glad you liked it

I'm going to have to drop out of this project as I don't have time. - I just moved from one apartment to the other (and we're still finalizing the leasing papers which should be done in 2-3 weeks). - My wife is expecting, and as the date draws near, I'm finding less time to sit down and write music. - I'm trying to manage my website/projects and it's taking more time than I had anticipated. I apologize for not doing this sooner: I didn't see this thread for a while. If by November or December no one takes the vega pieces, I would be more than glad to work on them.

Also, the font seems a bit too bubbly If you used just a simple thin font, it may look good. I love the designs btw, I think you're doing an excellent job =D

I cannot possibly measure how much I love this song. The entire ambient feel, the catchy lyrics, and the morose melody speaks to my heart. These are one of those songs that I'll never get tired of listening to. This is a must download to anyone who enjoys music.

Anyways, I finally got a response on this. It is a 3.0.3 problem specifically. Prop is working on fixing this issue amongst other bugs reported. For now, composers must work around this combination of devices (Subtractor->2Matrix->Scream4) -dj carbunk1e

Without rewire compatibility there wouldn't be a way to link them, if that's what you're asking. But if you mean using them both at the same time, that should not be a problem depending on what soundcard you have. What most reason users do is import the audio file in reason via NNXT (treat it as a sample) and just hold the note in the reason piano roll for however long the audio file is. It's not the most graceful solution, but it does work quite well. Edit: I'm using Reason 2.5. I'm not sure how Reason 3 changes any of my above statements, if any. you could also use recycle to break it up into beats and import into reason as a rex file. This gives you more 'mixing stylistic' possibilities like repeats/stuttering etc.

One of my old songs, when rendered, produced this nasty screatchy sound. I was curious as to what the issue was. I finally narrowed down the issue to a combination of 3 devices. If I put a matrix on a subtractor (gate & cv) and another matrix on the same subtractor (mod & volume) and then I put a scream 4 on the subtractor, when I render I get massive feedback that isn't apparent in the playback (in reason 3.0.3) I've been able to re-create this in a very simple song, I looked through the first few pages of the forums and didn't see any solution to this issue and was curious if anyone else stumbled accross the same issue. the result mp3 sounds like this: http://www.animeremix.org/Carbunk1e/download.php?song=Clank2.mp3

Just a FYI, I re-mastered the song just out of curiosity and it sounds a bit fuller. You can check it out here note: I did it on my laptop which has limited bass frequencies. sorry if it's a bit too much, I can always change it later

WIP update for those interested =) http://www.animeremix.org/Carbunk1e/download.php?song=PhobosAnomaly3.mp3

I finally got some of the samples from ryan8bit a week ago or so and I've been working on the piece. Now it's just a matter of time (between my self assessment at work, buying a house, having a baby, working through the marriage, and preparing for my business trip coming up). Hopefully I can tweak what I have and at least give a deliverable this weekend. The final piece won't be for another week or 2.

Also, you should set your settings for your operating system to "Adjust for best performance". System Properties>Advanced>Performance Options (in win xp) Also, reduce your sample rate and buffer size if everything else fails (in reason, edit properties>audio) And of course all the other things the other posters said.

My intention is to remix both vega pieces

I plan on changing the name of my song btw, I'm not what to, but I don't like the current name. =D

I've been able to get several minute long samples into nn 19 and into the redrummer. Make sure that your c3 note is long enough to play it for a minute. The wav only plays for as long as the note is. If it's a whole note, the wave will only play for the duration of a whole note. Just make sure your c3 note is a minute long =)

http://carbunk1e.animeremix.org new update for jdbc-request. More trance, less cheeze, hopefully.

http://carbunk1e.animeremix.org I reverted to reason 2.5, since I don't have a lot of time to learn the new vst's I have... I just changed the bass drum, and re-equalized a few things. -dj carbunk1e

I hear some clipping in that later version, sorry mn >.<

I'd like to claim e1m8. Hoping 8bit and I can pull something off. -djc

Computer Station WIP

I'm posting in this thread because MN is whipping me.

note, I posted this quite some time ago when I was a n00b to the forums =P in april 2002. it's almost 2004

Although the guitars aren't the most realistic, I was highly disappointed... This song didn't meet my expectations... winamp says 6:37, and I only got to hear 4:54... I mean come on, if you're expecting protricity quality music for 6:37, you best get it >< yeah this was an excellent mix done by protricity, very creative very interesting, and it's incredible how he can take any voice/patch/soundfont and make it sound incredible. I love the guitars, I love the synths, the orchestra, the drums, his arranging and notation is awesome. I'd give this song a 9/10 by my standards. if not a 9.5 Download or die.

this is definately much better than the last mp3, I'll review when I get back (edit this post that is)

It sounds decent enough to be accepted, however there are some things I definately have a problem with. 1) The kick needs to be lowered quite a bit, there is a point where it's simply style, and it's simply too much. We all like kick, but if we like it this much, we could buy a drum machine... 2) Too much empty space, yes there are times where empty space is great, but in this case, the song just felt empty and unfulfilling. The voice is kind of cool, but I think throughout the piece it is a bit overdone. 3) I like the synths that come in at :43, but they are overwhelmed by the incredible bass drum, that does eventually fade... a little bit 4) The choice of synths at 1:10 is the same old synth from earlier in the song, it lacks depth, motion and all together sounds like a crappy preset from reason. The least you could do is add a changing mod in the synth so it sounds deep or something, I dunno, bad choice of synth. 5) Yeah, when it goes up an octave, great technique, bad synth, just makes it more obvious that the song sounds like it has no backing pads or backing moving middle chords. 6) The backing middle chords or arpeggs you have running at... 1:40 (same throughout most of the piece), sounds great, but doesn't have the depth to support such a huge bass kick, and a lousy lead synth. Match your synths better ><. 7) Your transitions are decent, although semi abrupt sometimes, I think you could certainly make the song feel to move through the different ideas a lil better. I did like the way the synth comes in at 3:02, it's nice to listen to, and the voice in the background sounds pretty good, nice build up at that point, but the rest of the song is lacking. The bass, not the bass drum, the bass... for the kick, it is too soft, lower the kick, raise the bass. The bass you could almost get rid of in the piece, and it would seem the same. 9) Ok, we've heard the same melody millions of times now, go repetitivity, yes it's trance, but for the sake of what is good in trance, try changing the synth voice PLEASE, or maybe add different pads, or something. 10) The ending, ?? what happened, did you die, and the remix stopped? FFmusic DJ You are like one of my heros of techno remixes. When I hear you did something, it makes me uber-happy. I expect quality like "bof-sad melody" or "ff7-string machine". I really feal betrayed by this piece, when I hear it I don't think it came from you, it sounds like someone trying to pose as you who has no grasp on techno techniques or musical theory. The ffmusic dj I know has a lot better grasp on techno, and especially on the way to mix the right synths, I mean, your sound quality usually is way beyond my grasp. This song, aside from the vocal, I could easily make in a few days if not hours. If you like megaman X4 download the song, if not, don't. I give this song a 4/10 ~djc

Heh, I said I wasn't gonna post much for a while, where here is an exception. Great mix! DJ Crono has stunned me again with the awesome use of vocals, the beautiful use of the ever changing but steady rhythm, and even though he uses some basic synths and pads, he knows where to place his samples beautifully. I never get sick of DJ Crono's music, because I always pick something new out that I hadn't noticed before everytime I hear his pieces, and this song is no exception! This song was a perfect song for DJ Crono to do, he probably saw the opportunity in this song, smiled, and jumped on it right away. Great job DJ Crono! ~the other djc
