well, the 70's recordings of deep purple are super hard to match, not only playing but also sound wise. i really like the compositions but the sound is a different matter. it's kind of perfect. and i'm not even that huge a sound guy. it's just so...crisp but also jelly. and other super vague synesthetic adjectives. your recording sounds more 80's not a bad thing, just not what i adore so much about dp's stuff. b4 should be enough to do a decent job at anything lord-like, i think. i've heard its leslie emulation isn't the absolute best, but really, it's mostly in the playing/sequencing and programming. oh and thanks about the remix, why don't you just leave a note in the comments section? remixers like that, and i'm no exclusion. what you wrote here is enough, no need for huge reviews.

watched this review, really made me look forward to playing it. anyway you're aiming for 16 bit era sampler chips. http://picopicose.com/software.html here's a vsti that loads spc files...it's the best for the snes sound i know of, and gba is somewhat similar to that. it's a bit fiddly to use though, prepare for a learning curve. on the plus side, you got ample choice in existing sounds via .spc osts, on the minus getting all the sounds from a soundtrack you want is annoying because you gotta browse through them. there's probably a way to organize them though, i haven't done much with it honestly. good luck!

his two memoirs i did not know about, had only heard about "I am Spock". "I am not Spock" being the precursor gives the whole thing a very zen spin. man had to deny his role to finally appreciate it fully. full circle life.

wicked child in time!! awesome! 2 criticisms: i thought the legendary burn arpeggios could've been hitting harder at a different point in time. they were cool to hear but their introduction didn't seem as natural as in the original. but that's setting the bar rather high, right? the organ could've had more rocks and dirt in it (in german we say "schweineorgel", pig organ). it has a lot to do with the leslie speaker just goin apeshit. listening on cheap speakers so i can't say for sure, but it appears to be lacking that. it's a good sound choice for 4:35+, anyway. relistened to burn now, and yeah, the schweineorgel part before the sacral melodic part is what it's all about to me. i was also amazed how that one sounds in the original(4:24)... synthesizer and piano. freaking cool. forgot about that. one more thing, i think you could've just played the main riff at some point. why be subtle about it at this point, hehe. anyway, freaking nice mashup, i love this kind of venture. rock onnn

gut schtaf! lets kollap one day! let's make some schwiezerjazz

shit never thought about spock dying before me. did not seem logical.

piano sf2 sounds kinda plunky. does it have multiple samples per note? i'm sure you could find something with more articulation possibilities for free. http://www.supremepiano.com/product/piano1.html just one possibility, i use that one sometimes. there are better soundfonts around though as well. i mean, if you want some good articulation, cause sometimes plunky is just right. not here tho i think. 1:05+ was very nice in its simplicity. stuff before that, bit mechanical and a bit, well, not very groovy. i'd say, start simple and add carefully, like you did later on. good luck!

i'd play with the spacing a bit...the several distinct parts take place in a somewhat rushed way, so i'd definitely suggest either some tempo automation or some bars of rest between some parts, maybe with some connecting notes. needs to breathe to let the epicness of your ideas shine, yknow? good work anyway!

thought the leads could be a bit flashier in timbre, some hardcore vibrato and such. they're a bit plain for this genre. give em some over the top articulation. pretty good anyway!

i'll be playing some deathmatches or something, anyone up for some relaxed games? and i do mean relaxed! i feel like dota lite...

you don't have to submit it, you know. just do it for yourself. i used to have serious fear of rejection. i never even submitted anything for 4 years after i started comin here or so! just got my first 'NO' though, and it really ain't that bad. so if you wanna do the submission thing, do it when it feels right. don't compromise on your fun by getting all scared of rejection. i know appreciation is a bitch, but you gotta look for the fun zone. enjoyment is the central part of creation. if you stay in that space, shit is gonna get good sometime! the funny thing is, when you actually start getting appreciation, you may experience a bump in the road because doing music for music may get harder for a while. so in a way, enjoy the time while no one cares! my first year of sequencing was one of the most creative ones i ever had, even if the results smelled a little funny. godspeed!

with synths like that i'd almost prefer the old version, man. probably enough to explore for a lifetime, plus i don't have to wait 5 years to run 10 instances of it...

good luck man! hope your kickstarter makes it when the time comes.

scuse me, i'm here for the music...i wasn't aware of any commercial guild-like structure on this amateur site. if you didn't notice, i want payment in the form of enthusiasm. money ain't my currency.

sounds fun. i might enjoy working on this. not to sell myself cheap, but if i get enthusiastic about your project, i can do it for free.

lol guys bigcat is well known around kvr and lots of people there scrutinize over exactly this. also you are overthinking this. with all the piracy happening even among chartbreaking producers (not shy of showing their H20-licensed plugins in "in the studio with..." vids and what have you)...worrying this much over usage of a soundfont that could *maybe* have some questionable content for something that *might* just become somewhat commercial is a bit over the top.

quite airy, unobtrusive, but sweet. grows on you! the bass is slightly on the boomy side. the overall subdued and mid-rangy sound is very fitting to the piece, but it results in a bit too much of an overlap with the bass frequencies. slight eq, or just turning the bass down a notch, might work out well. it's nothing big. oh yeah, the many views are probably bots

the pitched brass hits are genius. it's quite clean, maybe experiment with dirtying/mashing up the mix a bit and make it sound more like it's coming from an old chip. that's the thing with cheesy samples, as well: they can end up sounding unexpectedly delicious in a dense lo-fi mix where the chip kind of does its magic. nice work, still. cabriolet cruisin is neat! just got to that. cleaner sound works well for me, there.

404! .

course it is, it's pure illusion after all thanks.

woah, dude lost some weight! good for him but i'm slightly scared by the new appearance in the snapshot! he looks a bit like a shopping tv guru now. or a faith healer, with his hands in that position

well, same here. lemme give some generic advice i can't follow myself: if you really wanna make something, just do shit. don't expect it to be fun or result in something good. that's literally all you can do, and it's enough. really, that's all there is to it. i'm too dumb to get it, though. i'm not even a musician when i'm not making music, i'm just a lazy youtube surfin' pig. of course, the post above is right as well, but sometimes, one's approach to creativity can be so clogged up that the only way to make something is to break that blockade. it's more about persistence than brute force though.

apples and oranges? i mean, isn't velocity all about multisamples and CC all about shaping the sound in other ways than switching the samples? unless it does crossfading, that is. of course, midi CC becomes very powerful when you're using physically modeled instruments.
