I remember you saying "I wouldn't fit in" with this project a month ago or so.
I still don't know what you mean. Unless you knew I haven't played FF7.

You might want to hunt down an ESQ-1.
I would have said that!
...because I own one
Yes, they are cool, and the vocal synthesis is neat. -
Actually Xelebes has a point.
If you want the 80s sound... you can still get synths from the 80s. Usually for very, very cheap, unless it's one of the really popular ones.
-
Are you planning on running 6+ instances of commercial VSTs?
Theoretically, commercial VSTs are much more CPU efficient than free, cheaply made ones [for example VST made with SynthEdit].
I say "CPU efficient" instead because they're still more demanding [Kontakt 2 or Reaktor] because of all the stuff they have
SO I GUESS YOU'RE STILL RIGHT
Anyway, 1 GB is going to be needed eventually. I have 1 GB and I wish I had more! though that's mainly not a musical problem, that's more of a gaming problem
-
Did you ever remix a song for more than two months?
Hell naw. I get sick of the song after 5-6 hours
-
Yeah, it's pretty much just a sinewave with portamento
p.s. I want to play around with the Metroid Prime choir sample. They are so obviously sampled but I don't know where Yamamoto got the choir sample from.
-
Depends on the musician.
End of thread [please].
-
Well, that depends if you want to learn protools.
Pretty much.
And when you DO learn how to use it...
...
do you want to pay for it?
-
I'm pretty sure Darke's soundfonts are all free.
-
Most soundfonts are free, no worries. People used to sell them all the time but the format is outdated [lol] and developers have abandoned the format for other methods now.
-
haha no shit
-
I think most people would tell you sequencers. Trackers have served their purpose.
They still do. They're just sideways [omg]
-
Which one sounds more real?
Well........
Depends.
Soundfonts are usually shit compared to the large orchestral libraries like GPO or QLSO or what-the-fuck-ever acronym that comes out, however these large orchestral libraries [which come in VSTi form] cost a lot of money.
You could stick with soundfonts, though VSTi are cooler in my opinion, especially considering how much more flexible they are.
On the OTHER hand, soundfonts/samples may sound more realistic because they ARE, they're just sampled from a real instrument which may or may not work when sequencing, as opposed to physical modelling used in things like FL Slayer [which is supposed to sound like a guitar if you haven't noticed].
-
But you can use soundfonts IN trackers.
Well, Modplug and Renoise.
...LOL
But wait a second
If you're just using soundfonts... what are you using the soundfonts WITH?

This is a nice one.
that also violates the guidelines ;0

TO I sent you an e-mail RE: my map 30 remix
just so you know. -
The first time I submitted something, DJP asked me, "Are you SURE you wanna submit this? I can send it to the judges panel if you want"
I was all "No :("
And then my first ACTUAL submission was Path-ology.
I actually submitted High Above Chaos before that I think but I never got to see it on the Judges Panel. It isn't THAT bad, is it?
-
If you're good enough, yes.
If you've only just started, "one or a few" is not enough, unless you work on them for like 2 years.
Well, I guess it depends how good you get, but you need high standards

I love how two of those are ReFX synths.
I haven't used them much lately but I consider myself a fair user of Slayer 2. All it takes I think is a better knowledge of guitar amping and the guitar itself. Obviously it was made for people who can't play/record guitar, but it blows if you're too oblivious.
I have also used it for other great effects, with something other than guitar in mind.
I agree with 3xOSC and Vanguard though for the most part.
However, no synth is globally bad at all. Just a little skill with your tool can make ANYTHING sound good. Case in point: Mazedude's recent American Album.
-
and what is mIRC?
mIRC is a great [probably best] IRC client. IRC is "Internet Relay Chat," which is self explanatory. Anyway, google it and you'll know.
-
this has been way overblown, and is definately not a big enough deal to continue talking about.
Unknown's comment stemmed from the recent GPO vs. EWQLSO thread [which was locked] that contained plenty of elitism wankery and blind corporate allegiance from everyone involved in that topic. I'd say he had legitimate concerns, otherwise he wouldn't have posted that.

2. The computer *is* the most important part of doing music if it's done ON A COMPUTERRRRR...
The computer is shit if the room and recording equipment sucks. It's just there to put all the tracks together and maybe use some supplemental sampling/synthesis.

TO, I had an idea!
As much as I hate crossfading, I still think this would be cool. Basically it involves Prophecy, my song, the text at the end of the game, and the track order. I was thinking our songs could tie together and stuff.
Of course, I haven't really cleared this with Prophecy yet [who I hope reads this message!], but if you don't like the idea then we wouldn't do it anyway.
Anyway I have a question. Crossfading, yes or no?
Also you never answered the question from my email, but that's ok, I tire of the existing sample anyway. However I would like you to do me a favor: Could you get the End Boss vocal sample? The one that's just Romero's voice pitched down and backwards? If you could, that'd be great ^___________________^
