I think it's the construct in that each string isn't dependent on the other for tension-holding of the trem. And how Herman does it, I couldn't tell you. I had an S520EX with a ZR on it, it was my favorite trem of all time (except for the original Floyd Rose on my 1984 Kramer Baretta.. that guitar is as old as I am).

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14329 WHAT THE HELL THIS IS BULLSHIT WHAT DO THE JUDGES KNOW THEY CAN PISS OFF Just kidding. Their input was great and has reinvigorated me to polishing this thing up until it's accepted (it was this |-| close). I own a bass guitar now, so it shouldn't be too difficult to finish it all up. Extremely grateful for the advice judges, will begin right away of polishing up. Unfortunately it's going to take another 2 months to get the new version reviewed Edit: The only hard part now is the fact that I have to rerecord the entire thing from scratch because I didn't back up all the necessary files when I formatted my hard drive a few weeks ago. Got a minute or so re-recorded but it's pretty difficult getting it all to sound almost exactly like the original track.

Get a guitar with Ibanez's ZR Trems. As stable (if not moreso) than an original Edge or Edge Pro, and uses ballbearings instead of knife edges so that if you break a string, the others don't go out of tune. It also returns to zero perfectly. Fluttering isn't as easy, but eh. Amazing trem there.

Warcraft 3 got as many cheers as WOW did here. What pissed me the shit off was the immense amount of cheering Sonic Adventure and the 3d Sonics got. The 2d ones got modest applause, but nothing compared to the 3d. Although the most applauded game was Sonic Spinball... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVU7Wz97WW8 And here's what they closed with (again, they said it was the first time they've done this tune live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMS8eOjdMpc

Did anyone yell "LEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOY!" when the WoW stuff started up? Someone did at our show, and I expect it's common.

If they do this again next year, I'll probably be going to the SF show.

Castlevania, I said they closed with the standard OWA. Yeah, they had some massive feedback here. But during our show, they were 35 seconds into Sonic when suddenly the video cut out and all of the musicians stopped. They had to reset it a few minutes later and begin again. Poor Jack Wall, he looked so embarrassed.

I went to the Fort Wayne, Indiana show. They had some technical difficulties prop up from time to time (and claimed that in 40 shows they had never had any...). They closed with the standard OWA, and then came back out for a rocking Castlevania encore. At the meet and greet, they said that it was the first time that they had done it on tour. Let me know if they still do it.

Less of a question, more of a request. Most of you hate me from past history with the site, but don't let that reflect the way you judge my submission. Dicks

I've used the following: Steinberg Nuendo Steinberg Cubase Cakewalk Sonar (tons of versions) Fruity Loops Of everything above, Steinberg Nuendo had everything I could imagine and hope for. Cubase wasn't far behind, but I didn't really care for the simplified interface. Nothing wrong with Sonar, just found Nuendo to be a bit faster.

So if the Sinistrals tune is still available I want it. If the Deus tune is still available... I have one recorded that would probably work. I can easily change it if need be.

http://media.putfile.com/mm2-61 Just a very brief sample, it's probably nothing like you need but just thought I'd give it a brief shot. Maybe when I have more than 10 minutes I'll give it another go

Thanks for the input, very helpful. There is no bass because I don't own a bass (yet -- it looks like I'll be purchasing EdgeCrusher's in just under a month), so there's always been that issue. As to the drums, yeah. I'm no drum sequencer.

So uh, if you still need something for the project, I did a song a few days ago before noticing the project here. http://media.putfile.com/Xenogears---Mechanical-God--Create-Corrupt-Consume- It's a remix of Awakening.

I think this is leaps and bounds beyond anything I've done before. Both in terms of the production side (sequencing, mastering, EQing) and musical. It probably helps that I have some of the best source material to work with in Xenogears, too. I think it's pretty much done, melody wise. Just have to tweak a few instances of clipping and I think it's ready. Here's the newest (finished) version: http://media.putfile.com/Xenogears---Awakening And here's the original from the game for comparison: http://media.putfile.com/Xenogears---Awakening-92

Edit #3 (March 4th): Rerecorded it entirely, eliminated the clipping issues that I could tell. Wrote a completely new intro, wrote an actual ending instead of just the abrupt stop. http://media.putfile.com/Xenogears---Mechanical-God If no one can find anything hugely wrong technically or melodically, I am going to resub this tomorrow. Comments? Thanks.

Guys, it's MikeViper. If it even really IS the original MikeViper. If you don't know the story behind him, then yeah, it's a joke post.

I thought it was painfully obvious that this was a joke submission.

http://media.putfile.com/Wilys-Requiem---7-string-sample I've started re-recording it on my new 7 string, and I think it sounds a lot more brutal, as well as melancholy. Who prefers the original, and who prefers this version? Streaming link.

Probably the best metal tune I've ever heard.

Read above messages. No nerd voices, able to go from a somewhat speaking to singing voice.

Tune has been overhauled. It is now at the point where it is ready to have vocals put down on it; everyone who is interested, please message me somehow. I have someone trying out, but that doesn't mean I can't sample other people. Thanks.

What can I say? As a guitar player, the only thing I can do is critique.. and you won't like it. The playing seems very, very sloppy. Especially the more speedy parts. It's almost like you're trying to be showy when the skills just aren't there yet. With practice they'll be there, as the potential is clearly there, but just not yet.

Someone who doesn't sound like a nerd. Not a baritone by any means, but someone able to sound convincing in a sort of talking/singing type.
