Chrono Cross. Seriously, did you think it would be any contest?

Awesome mix.

Depends on the amp, depends on the guitar.

Ladies and gentlemen: The Live Performers Database Coded by Xerol. If you play a live instrument and would like to offer your skills for collaborations, join the database. It is still a work in progress, but is already effectively functional as a searchable (by instrument) database of live performers. So if you play a live instrument, add yourself to the database! (don't forget to go to "my account" and add your info after creating your account). And, of course, if you are in search of a live performer, USE THIS RESOURCE!

That has got to be the coolest title for a remix I've ever heard. Also, the mix is awesome.

So when do the bumper stickers come out?

Ridiculously fake unfortunately. Is it really? Damnit.

Yeah, it's definitely a very similar melody.

The Live Performers Database Coded by Xerol Sign up there! It's a work-in progress, but hopefully it will eventually delelope into a very useful resource for those hoping to collaborate OR (crosses fingers) eventually for original artists looking to hire performers.

Whoah! I need to try that sometime!

I bumped your mom last night.

It depends on the type of ROM. The process will be different for SNES than for Genesis or NES. SNEStool, I believe, can convert SPCs to midis, but the conversion tends to be pretty sloppy. I'm sure there are similar programs for just about every type of VGM soundfile. Zophar's domain probably has all of them, and if not Zophar, try google. May I ask why you wish to rip midis from ROMs? You're not planning on submitting that as a remix, are you? 'Cause we'd rofl at you.

Holyshitomg I just got my new low whistle. It's unbelievably sexy.

I'm decent, but there are much better electric guitarrists around here than I. However, my current guitar is caput, and I probably won't have my new one in hand for another month or so. Why?

Bump for great justice!

Kickass keyboards are not required to make mixes. Plenty of people don't even use keyboards. A PSR-74 may not be the best out there, but it's certainly useable. I'd see what you can do with that before shelling out for a new keyboard.

To be honest, I liked your old version of this (the one with a synth lead) better -- I thought the soundscape felt much richer. HOWEVER, the drum solo and the slower section are very nice additions, and this is overall one rockin' arrangement.

Very pretty. Guitar, though fake, is well done. I'm digging the beat, though it could use a bit more variation (especially that hiss; that gets old quickly). Definitely a good start, it just needs more variation.

That one's a keeper.

So now my mixes are even more likely to pass the panel, as the number of judges I've slept with* is now three. *by "with" I mean "in the same room as"

haHA! Congrats to both of you

About to add one of these babies to my arsenal. I'll update my earlier post and eventually record some samples when it arrives (which should be next week).

Compression makes the quiet sounds louder. Actually, it makes the loud parts quieter, but generally you add gain after compressing, so the end effect is that quieter parts louder. The end result is that the entire mix sounds louder, without the peaks actually being any higher. Threshold is where the compressor actually starts to take effect. For example, if you have the threshold set at -10 dB, anything below that will be unchanged and anything above that will become quieter. The ratio effects how much quieter those peaks become. As for limit, I'm not entirely sure what that's referring to. Andy can probably explain all of this better than I can.
