  1. Hello,

    Being a guitarist I believe the sexy guy needs to practice etc.

    Michael

    PS. Don't take it as a flame or large critic, for I only registered to post this suggestion.

    None taken, glad you registered. As I always say I'm still improving, and that song is over a year old now, so it's pretty unrepresentative of my performing now, but I do agree, when I look back and listen it's somethin that I could have worked on.

    I took up the piano 2 years ago to hide the fact I'm a fairly average guitarist, and it's been worth it in the long run. My usual style is finger picking but I've been playing a lot of leads in the last 8ish months, so in regards to the 'keep it up' comment, I've been taking guitaring viagra for the last year :)

    Thanks for your concern.

  2. I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say ghkjgkjdffljgfkgfkhf.

    Honestly I don't know what was wrong with OCR before the content policy issue came up. It seems like it's causing more trouble then it's worth. But hey, I respect and trust djp/OCR so I will leave you to decide what's best for the site. As long as your intentions are good I don't see any reason why it should cause any problems.

    And yes, I'm suing you. My lawyers are on the phone. And by "the phone" I mean the AIM. And by "my lawyers" I mean JesustheDarkLord. And by "suing you" I mean speaking of you with stern disapproval.

    Haha, and to Shael, one day I hope to meet you and your majestic groin.

  3. All I can really say is mega, mega talent and production values.

    Additionally, my favorite aspect of the song (even though everything sounds fantastic) is the intricacy of the bass line. It's not often that so much detail is put into something that most people overlook when mixing, and it has the smoothness and porto of a novation bass-station, and the harmonic richness of a fretless.

    Awesome job, I feel dirty for not paying for this ;)

  4. Welcome back Ziwtra,

    Your Rain In Chicago (Blue Fields) mix is still one of my favorites here. This is no exception, the atmosphere and ambiance is relaxing and the production is bright and very tight. There's a lot of thought and creativity in the mix whilst maintaining a pseudo-minimalism. This actually sounds a lot like something outta the Square Enix Bootlegs they've been releasing, most of it being melodic electronic pieces.

    Verdict: SEXCELLENT

  5. Damn flawless coming out of my speakers, very good work.

    Personally, I don't think a real guitar would've worked in such an electronic environment, and would have to be extremely well mixed for you to pull it off. It seems live instruments like the electric guitar stick out like a sore thumb unless the intonation and performance is perfect. Still, there's plenty of guitarists you can ask for help, however, this mix is just plain solid as it stands. And it's not like you used FL Slayer haha.

    Good luck sequencing/recording the 3rd album.

  6. Jill, you never cease to amaze me with your vocals. U R SO GOOD! I have absolutely no problems with the mix, the vocals are crisp and the ESSSS's tickle my ears (in a good way). As for the drums, excellent work, there's a lot more effort put into these drums than most mainstream hip-hop producers would put into theirs. Lazy professional bums.

    Last section is a nice highlight, and the haunting vocals give me goosebumps. Awesome work!

  7. Is that enough for you?

    Ehmmm...sounds good, I'll be checkin it out.

    The mix is nothing short of exceptional, and Megaman is the perfect soundtrack for a shred fest. Exactly what I'd expect from a guitar tutoring composist, and now that you've dived into some solid electronic sequencing, you've pretty much got it all.

    Nice job, looking forward to a third mix, which you could easily pull from another DoD competition, but I wouldn't mind hearing more electronic/guitar stuff!

  8. I'd say chords are my forte, and I like all the strange open index bar chords with the ringing B and E notes. I hope this can give any potential mixers some ideas. This should work:

    And to Faduger, the original is an old grand piano playing a continuous progression of pretty arpeggios at a nice relaxed tempo, but it is a continuous loop. I think it has the broken record feel because, if I remember rightly, in the game Via Purifico is like a purgatory for the unsent, and is something that just continues forever...

    Also, the other vg theme reference at 1:10-1:12 is from Mario 64, Dire Dire Docks. Listen carefully...

  9. I respect everyones opinions, as it contributes to me becoming a better mixer, and I'm taking everything into consideration.

    Audity, I'm glad it works for you, because that's what I had intended when I was recording the guitar, something to chew on. If it doesn't work, then I hope that you can bypass it and appreciate the rest of the song as if it were your own :wink:

    The fact that I got to work with such talented collaborators is it's own reward and I congradulate them and their merits.

  10. Thanks for the feedback, I really owe it to TO for his excellent work on the drums and Pixietricks insanely attractive voice, both did a great job pulling the song through the stages. Just to clarify, I did the arrangement, and recorded the piano, guitar and sequenced everything else.

    Regarding the guitar, I don't usually record the electric and I'm not the eldest or most accomplished guitarist here, but let's not get picky, not all mixes ya hear include both acoustic and electric guitar; and if you like it, we're friends :lol: I'm still playing religiously and it's been at least 6 months since I recorded this song, so expect more from me, and sufficient precision to wag your tail at.

    Also, if anyone wants tabs I can provide them, you just need to be able to play bar chords.
