I'll get drunk and yell "PENIS" in your honor.

Wow, today's update doesn't have a shred of new information.

Yoshi has a third jump now? 'Bout fuckin' time. His lack of one was about the only thing that prevented him from being one of the best characters in melee.

Ok, back with a bit more of a response. EQ, compression, and production in general takes a long time to master, as has been said before. I'm not surprised you haven't mastered it in 7 months; it took me about a year and a half between my first submitted remix and my first mix to make it past the judges' panel (and that one ended up not going on the site anyway, but that's a different story altogether). And even then, the mix was collaborative; I didn't do all the production myself. A good tip is to just do what sounds good, when it comes to EQ/compression; don't feel that you absolutely have to EQ and/or compress everything, but also don't be afraid to experiment.

Tip # 1 on the remixing and WIP forums: Accept all criticism. Do not lash out at those who criticize your work. So far in this topic, you have demonstrated a complete lack of maturity and ability to listen to others criticism. Criticism is how you get better; when somebody says "you suck," the correct response isn't "fuck you," it's "how can I improve so that I don't suck anymore?" And before you flame me for saying all this, please give it some honest consideration (and also consider the fact that you will be proving my point if you respond by flaming me). Now to answer the original question. There are other sites on which production quality is not such an issue: remix.thasauce, vgmix (if it ever comes back up), and OLRemix. If you want a site that is more willing to accept mixes with low production quality, try going there. I need to leave, but I'll give a more complete response later.

SPOILERS: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Zombie's topic in General Discussion
Here's something interesting; there are exactly two wizards ever to have come in possession of all three Deathly Hallows: Dumbledore and Harry. Dumbledore never actually had all three at once, though. Harry was, at one point, master of all three at once, though he did not actually have the Elder wand in his possession at the time. I don't really like the story behind the Elder wand, though; it seems a bit far-fetched that no owner of the Elder wand has ever died a natural death, and even more far-fetched that Harry expects to live the rest of his life without ever being hit by a disarming spell, which evidently is enough to cause the Elder wand to change its allegiance. -

How do I add soundfonts to Sonar when.......
Geoffrey Taucer replied to KH_fan's topic in Music Composition & Production
Use SFZ. It's a VST soundftont player, which I believe comes with sonar. If you don't already have it, you can get it here -
Wow.... I don't even know what to say to this. And I'm not making fun of you; I'm in total awe that anybody could be lucky enough to have a wife who will not only play smash, but put up a good fight. I think if I met a girl who could beat me in smash or tetris attack, I'd probably ask her to marry me right there on the spot.

Overall, the book did a fantastic job of tying up all the loose ends. But otherwise, it simply wasn't as good as the rest of the series in my opinion. Too many people die too frequently, so there's no real shock or sadness when they do. Mad-Eye's death seemed like it had no particular purpose other than to say "hey kiddies, wizarding is now serious fucking business." Sirius's death was a mild shock. Dumbledor's death was a huge shock. Mad-Eye's was not a shock, though it seemed like it's sole purpose was to shock. I can see an entire theater cheering when Dobby dies in movie # 7 when it comes out. The stuff filling in about Snape at the end was excellent. Rowling did a brilliant job of giving us the final word on who he really was. What was the point of killing Fred, Lupin, and Tonks, though? Like Mad-Eye's death, those three did not seem to die for any purpose other than a failed attempt to shock the reader. The talk before the final showdown was a bit overblown; seemed like it would have worked ok had it been a movie, but it really didn't work in text. And finally, the epilogue was fucking lame. EDIT: Also, Rowling completely neglected one of my favorite characters in the epilogue: Luna. I really liked her, and I was sort of hoping Harry would ditch Ginny, who's a flat and boring character, and end up with Luna, who is a much more interesting character, and has brought a lot more to the series. -
What the fuck is that in the last pic?

Civ 4: Baba Yetu (Taucer's vocal debut!)

The whistle is definitely rough. I just did one quick take to get the idea recorded. Gonna go back and redo it later, once I get the arrangement planned out a bit more. -
When the farthest-out dot has travelled 1/5 the way around, there will be a very clear 5-sided star. When it's gone 1/4 the way around, there will be a four-sided star. When it's gone 1/3 of the circle, there's a 3-sided star. And so on. I could spend hours delving into the patterns in this thing.

Future Final Fantasy 20 Battle Theme
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Isospeedrix's topic in General Discussion
I love the FF battle one. -
THen click it. In fact, I'd say it appeals to the mathmatically inclined even more than to the musically and artistically inclined.

http://www.coverpop.com/whitney/ Do you like music? Do you like art? Do you like math? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you absolutely must click that link. If you did not answer yes to any of those questions, you probably lead a sad, empty, miserable life, and you have my pity. But click the link anyway.

I actually boosted the lows ont he vox because I wanted it to sound big and boomy. I could back off if you think I overdid it, though...
