Vilecat, you might see if you can get a bus or train as far as NY, and then get a ride from there.

Today pandora... tomorrow the world! Nice work

Just ordered. Demos sound fantastic.

www.smashboards.com. Go to the regional zones section, see if you can find any tournaments in your area.

I think I should clarify; what I meant was would a pad alone be enough, or should I do a more involved synth line/arpeggios/whatever? Or should it be something entirely?

I agree that some electronic percussion could add a lot. I'm a complete n00b with electronic percussion, though (and percussion in general really isn't my strong suite) As for filling in the background, do you think I should use a simple pad, or should it be something more active? It has no bass currently; I'm depending on the rythm guitars to fill in the low end. DO you think I should cut the low end on the guitars and add in a bass? And if so, do you think guitar bass or a synth bass would work better? I'm probably going to drop down for a quieter section where this ends.

I'm working on a mix for which I'd like to have electronic percussion, and would like to do it myself, but I don't have the faintest clue how to do it. I'm stalking about something like Back to Skala or The Delay or Snowfall on Forbidden Lands (probably the best example of what I'm aiming for). How does one go about doing this sort of percussion? Is it done with simple samples and creative sequencing/processing, or is there some manner of drum synth that would do the trick, or is it something else entirely?

What is the wind instrument in the intro, anyway? And is it real? It certainly sounds real.

Awesome mix, great blend of styles. I look forward to hearing more from audix.

Definitely no problem with learning, though my point was more that there are plenty of guitarrists who might be willing to work with you if the arrangement is good. live.xerol.org is a good resource for this.

If you want good-sounding guitars, your best bet is to find a real guitarrist. As far as getting samples to sound good, fake guitars depend far more on your ability to sequence and process them than on the quality of samples. Get a good amp sim and take the time to put together all the intricate dynamics (bends, slides, the occasional extraneous noise from the frets/fingers/whatever) associated with live guitar, and even a mediocre sample can sound decent if you know what you're doing. But without the right dynamics, even the best samples in the world will sound like shit. Honestly, getting it done on a real guitar would probably be easier.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE! Concurred.

If I end up with space in my room, I'd have no problem sharing it with Sammy or Vilecat.

For the past two years, I've roomed with Zircon, Pixietricks, and Darangen. Nothing's set in stone yet, but I imagine the arrangement will probably be the same this year. Whether or not anybody else can stay in the room is up to the rest of the crew; I have no problem with it as long as you don't mind sleeping on the floor.

Miniusf files don't work without the associated usflib. EDIT: also, is it time to start claiming tracks yet, or is there more we need to do first? If we're claiming tracks, I'm calling Waverace.

I would reccomend checking out all the projects, both official site projects and Bound Together (and any others that are out there)

FUCKING AWESOME! Excellent job of mixing a very difficult tune to mix. Piano sounds great. Strings sound... acceptable. Not the best I've heard, but they aren't bad enough to be problematic. Now here's a question: what game do you submit this under?

You can PM either one of them. Here's DJP's profile, complete with a link to PM him. It also has his AIM screen name (you could also sign on to IRC and send him a message there) Here's Larry's (liontamer's) profile. Again, you can PM him or try to catch him on AIM (though he doesn't seem to be on very often, and I rarely see him on IRC either)

I'll seed.

Depending on how time shapes up, I might be able to do some arrangement work as well.

Ok... what's the joke about nine thousand?

Gray Lightning Superstar Count me in. Guitars, whistles, and what the hell, I'll do vocals as well.
