Hey, I didn't get owned this time!

[Megadrive equivalent of Famitracker?]

It did. eKid was talking about converting some unused effects letter in the .xm format to be used as the echo effect when converting to .spc

And it worked!

[Sound cards: PCI vs. Firewire]

We need to call discussions like this "buffer limbo."

How low can YOU go?

[Megadrive equivalent of Famitracker?]

mda DX10 does come pretty close though

[Need a sample, synth, or effect? LOOK HERE!]

You can't make them yourself?

Reverse a cymbal sample or something

You can also use pretty much any synth with an LFO or pitch envelope to make sweepy noises

[Program Choice / Other Items]

Propellerheads Reason is easier for making decent sounding mixes. Fruity Loops (FLStudio) is easier for making something crappy to start with; to make Fruity Loops sound better than Reason takes a lot of work and knowledge about mixing, but it is very possible.

So we can just throw mixing out the window when using Reason? SOLD!

[Your preferred method of deciphering chord progressions?]

I learn how to play the song by ear

heehee

I just find the first note and then I know all the intervals, It takes me 15 minutes to half an hour maybe to know how to play the main melody, then I get sequencing.

[Need a sample, synth, or effect? LOOK HERE!]

Maybe not by you, but I can use soundfonts seriously.

This isn't a joke tune, is it?

But of course that's electronic music, not exactly meant for live performance [though I can totally do it!]

Yeah, I got owned again, but imo it's not just some piece of shit. I'm actually kinda proud of it! Definitely one of my better mods.

I discovered a neat moog sound, made a quick pattern out of it, and thought it was pretty cool, so I built a song around it. The song isn't really anything groundbreaking, just some average everyday OverCoat. Honestly, while making this, I didn't seem to be having very much fun. Dunno why, it's not really a BAD tune [well, by my standards], but it sounds boring to me. My whole imagination is shot, so maybe I need to change my life around a bit, eh? One thing I resolved to do though, is never go too long without releasing SOMETHING, or else the writer's block gets worse!

[Program Choice / Other Items]

I've heard of Fruity Loops, Sony's Acid & Sound Forge, and Adobe Audition, but I don't know much about them and their capabilities and how someone completely new would use them

Well downloading the demos would be a good start!!!

[Sound cards: PCI vs. Firewire]

And is 2ms latency really necessary?

I think it's far more important for audio recording, especially if you have multiple things recording at once.

[Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta - History]

*sigh*

Okay yeah fuck Map 30, that thing has drained out all my inspiration, I turn into a vegetable whenever I even hear the song. I'd like to switch to the Waste Tunnels, if that's OK. Pretty sure I can come up with something awesome.

Er rather take, not switch, as I was technically booted from the project, I guess! :S

[Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta - History]

Is map 30 up for grabs? If it is, I got a remix I started for fun. So, i'd like to know if it's open for sure, or if Overcoat is still doing it.

!

Hmm...

I'll have to think about this. I had a thought that maybe I should just drop map 30 and try another song, especially since it seems a bit of the soundtrack has now opened back up. I literally took Map 30 because it was the last one available [aka nobody wanted the piece of shit]. Track 5 sounds enticing...

[Remix Collaboration Question]

Anyone can start a remix project. Managing it is the hard part.

You can also have huge projects like the Cave Story Remix Project and Bound Together that aren't necessarily "official OCR projects" or organized on these forums, but are just as successful if not moreso.

So yeah, you don't need "qualifications" to do ANY sort of project over the internet, just be ready to deal with a lot of typical deadline excuses from project musicians, if you can even find any with free time [harder than you may think!], and people who think they know better/could run the project better than you.

[Sytrus -now $109!!! LAST DAY TO SIGN UP!!!]

200-999? haha

[question about custom guitars]

If I saw some guy on stage with the guitar illustrated, I would be rolling on the floor laughing, even more so if he wasn't in a joke band.

I guess it depends on your tastes :D:D

[PS4 orchestral project discussion (on hold for awhile)]

I might try a song once I finish another project

PS4 rocks.

[question about custom guitars]

Michael Angelo Batio is the guy to ask about this stuff:

aww yeah

Guitars with more than 2 necks aren't really playable, by the way. Batio sounds like shit using his quad guitar, but I guess it's kind of cool to look at XD

[Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta - History]

Ah thanks

Yeah sorry I thought I'd be clever and use "Pardessus" because it's a french forum

[Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta - History]

I can't see the project forum anymore. It seems to have disappeared?

It's getting very difficult for me to stay interested in this project.

[OC ReMix BitTorrent Distribution: Issues; also SEEDERS WANTED]

Converting to .ogg is a terrible idea. If they're already in .mp3 format, and you convert them to .ogg, you get both .mp3 encoding artifacts AND .ogg artifacts, all rolled up into a nice, lossy, terrible sounding .ogg package.

So I don't see why you would do that.

[Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta - History]

I just posted on Doulifee's forum with a good question!

[Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta - History]

Egads, I've been dropped!

Can you put me back on? I've actually been waiting for more feedback before I do anything more, since to me it's practically almost finished. Maybe I should start actively asking? I thought this project would be a little closer than the other one's I've been on, but nobody's really talking to each other so... I'm seriously unsure of where to go next with my mix, but I'll try and search out some other opinions myself.

I'll hunt for stuff to fix myself, for now.
