hey this has beautiful energy!! what is the german title about?? you have me intrigued.

yeah, it's a similar sound. but without any real compositional meat. he showed me this back then. it's a good mockup thing, but doesn't really do justice to starcraft. i was thinking about finding and posting it, actually. so thanks, shadow! shna is a genius, but this one is just a little creative project of his from a looong time ago, and it neither captures the energy of the sound of the OST, nor is it quite there compositionally. it's still very fucking good. illustrates what i was getting at perfectly. like, my mockup would be much worse i guess my emphasis is: the starcraft ost is really really good. like, much better than a lot of good albums. my opinion. ok, part of my appreciation of the OST is that i think we are embroiled in a global war about what is human these days, and the terran themes have become emblematic to me. they're a symbol to me. i just cannot deny that. that's why i have listened to them for so many times. it's definitely grounded in the awesomeness of the compository amazingnesss though. ha seriously, starcraft what a good story!!!! terrans all the way! ZERG MUST DIE!!!!

the bass on the first one sure is great. the slapping, plus all the pedal fx use to make it sound like a completely faithful upgrade. i've been listening to terran 1-3 for so long when i go out with headphones. must've clocked in over 100 times in the last year. i like everything about the OG tracks. my appreciation for the arrangement and mixing kept growing. i mean i love the tunes, but i love their sound equally by now. completely sweet spot between BGM and rocking for me. not obtrusive, but as rockin as can be if you try progrock with that kind of midlate 90's soundset. i think the holy grail for SC terran remixes would be to pay equal amounts of homage to both the tunage and the peculiar prog/BGM makeshift mix, without copying too hard. and the megamix idea by BattleCake seems good to me. Terran 1-3 are totally a single progrock suite. but it has to be intervowen and stuff. could be pretty conservative, could be completely insane, because between the 3 tracks you have just sooo many motifs to work with. you can generate hundreds of completely unique mixes from the terran 1-3 idea pool. yeah that's just my idea. not starting work on it anytime soon i think, because...well i need more chopz and/or luck. but maybe i can start saving some patches that sound starcrafty, and making some bullshit music with them. yeah, starcraftian mockup. crappy alternate universe OST version. sounds great in theory. has anyone here tried their hand at sounding kinda like the SC Terran mixes? i think it should be fun.

sweet to see some signs of life on here - i remember magfest threads from almost 20 years ago now, and you could feel the enthusiasm over finally meeting up, even from another continent. have fun! p.s. mazedude, i told you a couple years back that you gotta try loading the original doom.wad into modplug tracker as a sample. it sounded really neat - like a synth bass with a filter sweep or something, iirc. i randomly remembered this a few days ago while listening to OCR stuff. sooo, now that you are here - ever done that? :)

like a very friendly duel, in which the 'contestants' keep elevating each other with more beauty. it'd be very cool to see how they came up with it and how many iterations it went through! i think my definition of "guitar duel" is a bit...tainted as well, because i picked it up from Slayer mostly :D when i think guitar duel i think this song and cannot unthink it. but it might be down to all the dissonance and so on. i don't like all slayer solos/duels by far, but this one always made me feel like the guitars are straight up continuing the content of the lyrics, on a whole other level. guitar A says: "look how hopeless this really all is! it cannot be topped! PEWPEW!" guitar B says: "hold my beer, THIS is how bad it's really gonna get!! SCREAM!!! WAIL!!!! APOCALYPSE!!"

yeah, well it never felt like a duel much, tbh. or did it to you?

the staples can help you navigate vaguely familiar sounds. when you know the cliches, you can also omit them. i guess

they got lucky. the official solo. they kinda wrote it. hotel california is like the solo, isn't it. is there any other song that's as much the solo? it's just too officially the solo. you can say something like Back in Black - ACDC, but it's a joke in comparison.

i meant, it's likely an e♭ minor chord with a major 6th added (C). to me, the major 6th in a tonic chord (whichever octave it may be in) does imply that you might wanna move to a IV chord later, because the major 6th is also the major 3rd of the IV chord. that's what i was getting at.... but it really ain't universal, it's just a blues/jazz staple as i tried to say. it just....sounds nice, you know in this case, you can shift the lowest B♭ down a wholetone and you get exactly that, a jazzy IV chord function. god, it's so easy to cause more confusion than help with this notation stuff if you're not on point. my bad.

Eb major 6th chord. (1st inversion) if you move the low Bb down a whole tone while keeping the other notes the same you get the IV minor 7th(+9th) function. that's the tension thing kinda. it's a bluesjazz thing.

hey mi, not reading all that right now, but fyi pacifica was my first guitar in 2001ish. my dad had bought it for himself in midlife crisis, didn't end up playing it, so i got it set up for lefty a year later. i loved it. i'm not a guitar pro at all but it served me very well. my second guitar was an epiphone les paul, because they were supposedly epic for hard rock, metal and stuff... well, the sustain clearly was better than the pacifica, but i never fell in love with it the same way. i painted a lot of stuff on the pacifica's pick guard and made it sorta grimey (my guitar teach hated it, haha.) painted a lot of cell structures on it and dubbed it "cellular guitar". i think it's the only guitar i had i ever really loved. but well, most of my learning on guitar happened in the first two years, i got decent very fast through obsession, and when i got to know sequencers in 2004 that quickly faded. can't really vouch for its quality objectively. just a well priced guitar that's perfect for beginners, if it's anything like what they sold 20 years ago. it's probably a bit better now, right?? yamaha is kinda no name generic but decent quality, and you can make it your own. i did it with eddings and such ibanez is a name that rings a little more. like, satriani or steve vai. haha. but what is that worth for entry models. idk i'd guess they're both good. the sustain on the pacifica 2000ish model definitely was pretty poor, that's one objective thing i can say. idk if it's better today. but i didn't care about perfect lead sound so much. in all honesty the pacifica would've served me well for anything i ever did. i sold it on the street for like 30 bucks in 2016, while giving up my apartment to travel. that was stupid. i shoulda kept that guitar.

can you upload an mp3 for us rural folks with shitty cellphone 3G connection? (i'm likely the only one, but still)

i like this one.

roxxor.

rip! he joins club 30...i dunno how big that club is but it is inhabited by bon scott, and that's something. roxxor on!

hey larry, thanks for the encouragement. reading that made me happy. i got nothing to send in. my last musical productivity burst is 4-5 years back, and it was all originals back then. in case i regain my musical marbles, i sure have a few remixes in mind. tunes i wanted to do well forever. starcraft terran music is a good example. that stuff is hard to do justice. i'll probably have to do a lot of fun and easy stuff to get to a level where i can do the kind of (OC) remixes i envision, again. back in 2008 it was OLR that made that possible. today...i gotta find my own projects to get me back in shape. maybe this winter. crossing fingers as well.

while i am at it - this, 5 years later, was the next thing that convinced me that a really good starcraft terran remix could be one of the best things to ever grace the earth. good ol' relliK on keys btw. Artist: Rellik (Adam Lederer) [ReMixer] - ReMixes - OC ReMix o hey, he has 4 OCRemixes just like me.

i know it isn't, especially today. i think this was submitted in 2003ish though, and i loved it back then. still like it. always wanted to make a good starcraft terran remix since. i just randomly came across it on youtube and thought hey, why not make a stupid thread. i think it has a lot of mojo for being such a simplistic semi - cover, and it would've been well liked. i know that's not what ocr is about, ofc. maybe someone else can think of something. i used to listen to many other failed submissions back then... sometimes the passage of times changes things a lot. maybe a judge has some choice tunes that didn't make it but became absolute favorites of theirs. one thing i always thought is that if a remix is very similar compositionally but has exceptional "mojo" for lack of a better explanation, exceptions should be possible. not that i'm saying this mix is it - just in general.

hey and for communication's sake... anyone got any other decisions from the panel they resent? we're all old and grownup about this stuff right, so let's just have a ball. you can also name your own submissions, all is fair game.

yeah i know it's rough&basic arrangement wise, but IT WOULDA BEEN FAKKIN ICONIC. i might have to remix this remix and submit it

what kind of flute is it youre playing?

haven't watched the vid but likely he meant Bb and F with "both". both those chords would be functions of the G minor scale. though the F could also be a function of G mixolydian mode, while Bb more significantly demands a change to some scale including the minor third interval of G. meaning the latter is definitely a more "decisive" chord. you can easily play a lotta stuff over a simple G - F chord structure, and be very ambiguous about whether it's a major or minor G scale. I - bVII is good for bluesy stuff eg., meaning you play around with the "blue notes". with G - Bb however, you're way more clearly going from a major G to a minor G scale, and back again. if i were you i would play around a bit with the classic 12 bar blues scheme. even just a simple I - IV progression is enough to see how gratifying it is to eg. change from a major third to a minor third, whenever the change to IV happens. that's blue notes. "the blues" is a good conceptual counterpart to the whole diatonic or greek scale stuff. it enables a better understanding of most of our contemporary 20th century music, without being too technical. rock, metal, jazz, you name it.

a thread about all guitar solos you deem god-like. or just impossibly good, if you dislike the mention of god. i just got randomly forwarded to this '88 concert of Satriani, and the bluesy solo during the first song, Ice 9, which slowly builds up, has been holding a special place in my guitar solo mind temple for a long time. starts at around 4:20. you kinda have to play the whole song to appreciate it fully, but anyway. how do i embed a video here with the correct play start, like 4:20? i am too stupid. edit: also noteworthy is that the creatures on Joe's shirt look as much as shyguys from SMB 2 as they do look like wood spirits from Princess Mononoke. I wonder who did that design, in '88!

uh, what bass? i think this is perfect anyhow. kevin macleod is like a creative commons composer or something, right? featured in many mobile games and the like. link to the original pls? it's great as a bassless tune. but it would be SO MUCH BETTER if prominent bass elements were to join in after 2 minutes, and you go for 5 minutes total runtime. or so. just an idea. drums and stuff sound crispy nice bla. it's all good. i say keep what you have then add some creative bass stuff to make it a full long tune. that could work.

have you played TF1? i remember a nice LAN where we played TF1 with like 8 ppl. i must've been 14, and it was my birthday, i think. so, around 2000. counter-strike was the shit back then.
