Hi all, I had an odd idea of having two song ideas of different genres, and merging them into a more complete sound, so the two ideas start to compliment each other more. I wanted to slice some vocals into this, and only had the average default FL wavs, so dont hammer me on that . http://www.myfilehut.com/userfiles/204408/Track%20Switch.mp3 so, please, lemme hear your thoughts! Cheers.

"For The Soul", my best work - updated
RoeTaKa replied to Chavous's topic in Post Your Original Music!
I like this arrangement, though I feel I'm about to sing karaoke , it carries nice. The mastering is soft and slightly bland to me aswell, cause of reverbs and EQ. Big lack of Higher EQ's, the rhythm of this song would be warmer with them, since you're going for this slow dance feel. Drums sound like they have hardly any reverb, sounds like in this they should be much more bouncy from a good amount of reverb in the background. No hats? Im sure a simple light 4/4 beat on them would work simple wonders at times. Your saxophone sounds do my head in, only cause I know what they are . They'd come off much nicer if they were brighter, and had more fluency in their velocities. The arrangement is good, mostly. about 2/3rds into the song I wanted a new feel, new rhythm...got tired of those old drum fills. What this needs is better dynamics, places where it lifts more, places where it drops more. For example, halfway'ish through the song, the EP goes into this great part where suddenly it's played alot harder with more ideas, great part, but the backing just doesnt compliment it dynamically...see my point? Props to you either way though, great slow ballad feel. Im sure it'll fit in just right into the DJ set, just work on the mastering and it'll be great. -
Bam! This is wicked, can't believe I never checked it out before. Nice one Binst, some of this is sexy as hell, and your own tracks fit in seemlessly. Binster got on CM? Hell yeah! I haven't bought that magazine for a few months now .

Get a load of moody upstairs . This is lovely, the arrangement is splendid, very gripping in terms of the constant fluency of the piece. -
GrayLightning steps down from the judges panel
RoeTaKa replied to Liontamer's topic in Announcements
I feel I should say my thanks to Gray as well, whereever he may be, as he always made it his time to help all the little folk, and friends alike. Gray also helped me on occasion, it's sad to say a huge part of OC personality has gone . -

RoeTaKa replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Sorry I couldn't review any quicker . This has been one of my most played shnab tunes, ever. Ever since shnab sent it to me about...what, 3 months ago or something? I've listened to it alot every now and then, f*^&%^£ beautiful mix sam, the ideas are genius, and your work with time signatures never ceases to amaze me. Can't wait to hear what you're doing now when I get back man . -
OCR01482 - Metal Slug 2 "No Need to Reload"
RoeTaKa replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha, thank you everybody, it's really uplifting to have a mix on site finally! I've probably been NO'd about 20 times now, but I don't care. I hope to do more stuff soon when I get back. I'm sorry if my production really bothers people, this song was really pushing it. -
Tough break, cool, I don't have time to get on with this project anyway, but good luck.

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!! Sorry I've been away and the shizzle, times are complicated, the world needs to turn! I'm just using a college computer at the mo, thought I'd drop a message. The Orishitpants! Haha, I'll work on my song soon, but I'm not gonna have an internet connection setup for another 2 to 3 weeks maybe. By the way, I watched Doom the movie and thought it was awesome! What's the matter Gary, speak to me! Mingy, I think I'm gonna be sick! Ar no, now im gonna be sick too!

OCR01453 - Chrono Trigger "Black Wind Rising"
RoeTaKa replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love the whole vibe after 2:18, just slick and well done. The synth work is tasty man, and the stabs on the orchestra are very fitting. Excellent, you're a star alrighty. -
Strumming patterns is easy with practise. I just make a chord up, change the start times of the notes a little to get a single strum, if I want it more bouncy, Id place one of the middle notes just a tad before the start time and move into a single strum, which is fun . You gotta feel the rhythm, it gets tiring getting it right sometimes and getting a good rhythm, but worth it! I usually do it for acoustic guitars, so the velocity is very loose feeling. A nice high EQ to bring the sound of the note more, and whatever bass EQ you feel comfortable with. Guitars sound better with certain reverbs, experiment with different reverbs. Delay is really nice with guitar, but make sure the intervals are in sync with the rhythm of the pattern. If you want the guitar to sound fatter and stronger, just compress it with a tight release. Can't think of much else to say, just experiment though, different patterns have done lots of cool things for me before.

OCR01448 - Final Fantasy Mystic Quest "And He Returned Home"
RoeTaKa replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I heard this last week, the version with the vocals and lofi breakdown. I have to to say I prefer that version, since it gave it a more unique edge for me. But a great remix with great production, love some of the arrangement and dynamic effects, the arpegiations on the piano that grow louder, easily noticed near the end, are awesome. I find this a keeper, diggi, cheers for a wicked song. -
I'm just plain worried, I really am .

What did Santa get you? (Remixing Version!)
RoeTaKa replied to Argitoth's topic in Music Composition & Production
I think it's down to a (relatively reasonable) $700 now.. not too bad. I've just been searching sites with the best price, I've found Colossus for £350, which is pretty much $700, which I thought was good. My money is just mine I saved up working part time over the last year, occasionally dipping in to it now and then. So quit ya whining and save your money haha. -
I want to collaborate with EvilHorde again , I'm going to message him and see what happens!

What did Santa get you? (Remixing Version!)
RoeTaKa replied to Argitoth's topic in Music Composition & Production
I didn't get anything music related for christmas, eh, if I did that would just be a day of work but now is the time I'm planning to buy new gear, a christmas treat for myself I'm thinking of picking up East West's Colossus library, and perhaps something like Stylus RMX or Garritan Stradivari since I love violin. New/Another Ram card, just can't hack it with 512mb, so harsh! I might upgrade to FL6 but since I never really used the additional features of the sequencer, I'm quite contempt with what I have. Plus new sound system and headphone, a must! Yeah that's how I'm gonna treat myself spend lots of money on sounds...woo. This year shall be interesting in deed! -
Cause sometimes, the production, finishing the final package, ends up with a more enjoyable and complete looking project. It's like if you have cheese on toast and go "fuck it, im just gonna have dry toast cause I don't have time to go to the shops to buy myself some cheese, and maybe some worcester sauce to liven it up" YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?! If I made time to go to the shop, I could get WORCESTER SAUCE with my cheese to go on the toast. The theory is - You wait a little longer, and your penis gets bigger. Same with the cheese and worcester and toast, and same with CHRONO SYMPHONIC. Wait a little longer and man, might get some ham with it too.

Somebody add another 10 days to the project release, just to annoy people! Haha. Seriously people, waiting is for people at the back of the line, do something else with your time and wait! The baby is a little overdue but I'm sure with some drugs the whole thing will speed up a little quicker. You will go deaf if I hear another peep out of you mister! rarar. Time to go partaaaay!
-
I wasn't PM'd either, lucky I happened to spot this and join up (lucky? You'll destroy the project!! Rar rar) exactly.
