  1. Hey guys,

    Just finished a brand new original track, I have no idea what to classify it as, but I can honestly say I've never had more fun working on a track. This is actually meant to be an audition for my college (Arizona State University), which among a few other tracks, will determine if I will be a music composition major, and thankfully they said anything goes with audition peices.:P I'm also going to use this peice as an entrance to the synthesis / sound design classes down there, whenever I can actually get around to taking those classes.

    Anyway, I digress, here's the song:

    Ross Kmet - It's the Algorithm

    Thanks for listening, and for your feedback!

  2. Now how come you've noticed it, and V didn't? =o

    Nice wheel of steal btw.

    And while the SH-32 is really bad ass, I hate using it =( .

    Yeah, I did the work early to make sure using mine is a breeze (MIDI/Audio routing right through FL). The few weeks when I didnt have any of that set up though, it was the biggest dust magnet in my room.

  3. Rofl, I'll be honest, I totally missed the MIDI rip implications.

    Dude, what the crap? You think everyone uses MIDIs to make a ReMix, and even that we go so far a re-using a MIDI for several tracks on the same project? We have entire tracks that are done with live instruments ffs, projects aren't about how quickly you can churn out rips.

    Exactly, I dont even use MIDIs when I remix. Everything I do is by ear.

    Bitch.

  4. Just thought I'd mention it. I mean, with only 14-16 tracks in the entire game, I figure it can't take that long to finish it. And I also figure Cross is a natural progression from RD, so certain MIDIs could even be reused.

    Your right. Your logic is flawless.

    Look at you, bein all smart and shit. Congratulations on being so damn awesome.

  5. taucer, please update the first post.

    right now, we're mainly looking for a few things.

    1. ellywu2, Abadoss, and tweek =)

    2. i don't know if itoh daichi is ever going to finish dhsu's wip, so does anyone else want to take a shot at it? it's Portal to Open Grounds, and i've got dhsu's midi of it somewhere.

    3. malicex, fishy/rk, and chrono need to update.

    keep up the good work!

    Hey, I'd love to try my hand at portal. Might have to be a day or two until I start, but I'd love to try.

  6. I've decided to also release SGXRMX2 on iTunes and a bunch of other music services. All the proceeds will go to a charity I will give more info about soon.

    I am assuming that none of the artists who participated will have a problem with this. The album is still free off my site, but iTunes browsers and people who just want to donate will have about 65% of their money from the purchase go towards the charity (iTunes and CDbaby, the company that will get my tunes on iTunes grab 35% of the money).

    That's badass man, really a great gesture. I'm all for it, and as you said, I highly doubt anybody will have a problem.

  7. I actually rather like this alot. The piano comping is good, good harmonies. Nice moving bassline. Decent production, good dance beat. It's all here.

    The only problem is a few odd (I dont want to say "wrong") notes by the vocalist (0:17). I actually didn't mind that much, it made things interesting to be sure.

    Pretty neat stuff.:P

  8. As far as original works go, I really dont have any solid way of starting, those just flow I guess.

    Remixes however are a totally different story. I always start by mapping out (usually by just playing in some piano parts with a controller) all the melodies and progressions I want to use from the original song. Then I usually write original stuff around that, get all my basic sounds loaded into the project, and write from there, usually starting with the main section of the song, then going back and writing an intro up until that point.

    It might be and ass backwards way of working, but It's how I work.:P

  9. Hmmm... I actually think this song is fine on the bass, I've actually thought too many artists (including myself) are going a bit TOO heavy on the bass end of things, so I actually really liked your bass.

    If you still want to add a tad more bass to the mix, besides a slight boost on the current bass sound, you could try a more prominent kick drum. I can see why you wouldn't want too heavy a kick, this song doesn't really call for it that much, but even adding a bit more punch and presence on the kick might fill out the soundfeild more.

    Just an idea. Really great work though.:)
