that's the funniest thing i've heard all day. dafydd, why are you using post distortion effects? nothing can really beat a decent live distortion pedal. also, if you know how to use Scream 4, its awesome. most people don't, though. That's not really saying much. anything can sound bad if its been put together incorrectly. reason has a definate ability to sound like crap if you don't know what you're doing. fl PROVES that it'll sound like crap if you don't know what you're doing - look at the n00bs in the wip forum. its just a matter of learning what you're doing, and applying it.

drumultima. nuff said.

wait, you didn't know that? that's always been one of the biggest critiques of reason - no time adjustment, and no external VST support. you CAN timestretch the parts you want to to make it work, but that messes up the sequencer roll. my suggestion? ReWire it through FLStudio, like everyone does normally since the mastering suite in Reason sucks balls, and use THAT to edit your time stuff. then use the mastering suite in FL to make the song sound good, since it's almost impossible in Reason.

i did comfuzzle the two of you. but, that said, i checked my outbox and didn't see anything regarding the pms i thought i sent. i guess i don't know how to use the private messaging service...i'll try again

looks better than before. but what happened to track 18? i pm'd gray like ten times about getting us out of the wip forum, but he never really responded. for the site record, sixto has a wip. so does dafydd and rexy. they probably just didnt get back to you.

Agreed, the onus is on us mixers to get the job done. For my part, I've been incredibly busy in the last few months. Now all hell has broken loose where my music pc has crapped out on me. It's going to take me 1-3 weeks best case scenario to get it working again, and I have several work projects due once I get it working again. Due to all this crud going on, unfortunately I'm going to have to drop out of the project with my rexy collab. Hopefully Rexy can somehow finish it up on her own. Sorry Aetherius , I really wanted to be a part of this and finish my end of the collaboration, but right now my priority has to focus on real life work stuff once I get my music computer back working. I'm very excited to hear the completion of the project though. Best of luck Aetherius and to all the mixers involved. ahh, crap. i was looking forward to hearing Gray's submission. that said, what song were they working on? i might get a bolt of inspiration if it's good.

i agree with the last half of this post. i've already got one final piece uploaded, do i need to upload it again? for the Richard's Villa song, i finally heard back from PriZm - he's finally finshed his half of the arrangement, and he's going to email me soon (hopefully) with guitar parts.

Programs: Audactiy FL6 (previously, i used FL4.1 - still a solid program) Reason 2.5 Instruments Selmer Series III Super Balanced Action Alto Sax, Soprano Sax, and Bari Sax Selmer Mark VI Tenor Sax Peavey Foundation Electric Bass Alvarez *i think* Acoustic Guitar My voice =) various other instruments that i don't feel like listing Other Gear M-Audio USB Preamp Behringer Eurorack UB502 mixer Marshall MXL V57M Studio Condenser (my ocr mixes to date were made on a mike from a dat tape recorder ) Some random pair or Sony headphones Various audio cables i think that's it...

don't quote me on this, but i haven't found any. look into good guitar soundfonts - they're easier to find, and tend to be easier to work with because they automate easily (in fruity, at least).

halloo all. so, after my hard drive crashed a while back, i lost some very useful plugins that i really need. does anyone have: Sun Ra (elogoxa) The Devil Inside (elogoxa) Delay Llama (elogoxa) i'd get them from the site, but they closed up and i can't find them on the net anywhere. i very specifically need Sun Ra - i've got several files that need it for me to be able to work on stuff. thanks for your help. a yousendit link would be perfect, if anyone's got them.

oh, that's cool. Actually, that's not cool. I liked that site. [/sarcasm]

oh, that's cool. the fact that that was your 666th post is ominous as well.

i tried to access epo's site a little while ago, and it was totally not working. what's going on with that? also, i wonder if we can get an update on that site in terms of where people are with their mix.

doesn't fl6 have the LSD plugin, like FL 4 and 5? lead it into an effects channel, make sure the numbers match, and boom, midi sound. this occurs because MIDI is supposed to happen post-FL, because it's hardwired into your sound card. so, the lsd sends it to the soundcard and ports it back into the effect channel you had originally. this way, you can hear it in playback and rendered stuff. does that work?

LOL No, I guess not. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong... Why is it all so muddy? Even without the bass, I mean. The EQ bar does even reach red... I'll mess around with the EQ some and try to improve that. I'm also looking for a more suitable bass, and a better transition between the original theme section and the piano section. In other words...? What? there's too much bass freqs in the mix on my system. basically, if you've got a system (or headphones) with a decent sub, it's too much bass, and it muddles everything else. do you have a visual equalizer? something that lets you see what the different freqs are doing (like the EQUO in FL6)? you'd see tat the bass freqs are just too much on the kick drum and the bass in the bigbeat section.

ok, i finally listened to this. i think you should take out the 16th notes in the pizz bass thing at :15 or so. it sounds like a skip in the recording, it's really off in some way. production isn't anything to write home about. it works. the whole dreamy feel is cool, and works well, i think. the vox pads (i hate vox pads in general) work, i guess. no real super problems. good beats. i still like that entrance thing. the bass is REALLY low - like, it sounds an octave low or something. it's super growly down there. it also sounds like it's soley composed of bass, no real treble for the attack. it starts to overpower on good systems. the piano thing is cool. granted, there isn't much source material in there, but i think that he sets up the backgrounds to relate to the source material well enough that it still seems like the same song. there isn't much to ReMix here, and you need to keep that in mind when listening to something like this. overall? i like it. it sounds good. aeth might be able to help out a bit on the mastering side of it - i've always said that my mastering skills are less than average, if you know what i mean. good work, dafydd.

what was this about pm-ing me a link to dafydd's mix? cerrax, i can't wait to see what you get together. what track are you going to pick?

he does finish them, he just never updates them =) he tends to use less arrangement than most, and might need a guiding hand once in a while, but he's solid on his synthesis, and he's good at electronic orchestral stuff.

April Fools. He never deleted them. bumpity bump bump - i'm looking forward to hearing this!

Yeah, crushed my shoulder, which is still in pretty bad shape, but I can move my arm enough to play guitar if I sit leaning way back and lean to the right and hold the guitar almost completely vertically. Uncomfortable and painful, but I don't really care. HARD-CORE SIXTO SOUND if we need more mixers, talk to Cerrax Records (i think that's his forum name). he's pretty good at electronica, and he has some strong orchestral influences that he brings into his music that really helps.

didn't you get run over by a forklift or something ridiculous like that?

bumpity bump bump bumpity bump bump look at that frosty go....bumpity bump bump bumpity bump bump over the hills of snow...

hey all. i thought i'd mentioned this in the past, but if anyone needs bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocal work (i'm a guy, and i'll sing whatever as long as its reasonable) or saxophone work, gimme a pm. i'm always up for live stuff. i'd be honored to work on a project with as good of an ost as this one (besides, reelmojo is cool)

I don't get it. What do you mean? he's pimping his favorite project, methinks. btw, i love your name. devil chicken...brilliant.

i know. i'm just being pissy. don't mind me =) i was going to go through and archive all the answers at some point, back when the thread was only a hundred pages. that flopped REAL fast. too much stuff in here.
