relyanCe Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Just wanted to ask about what a good ReMix can be here. They're pretty basic questions and have probly been asked before, so if i'm repeating, please point me to the proper thread. 1. How diverse can the selection of instruments and styles be within one song? Is there a line drawn somewhere? 2. Do you record MIDI, layer on the instruments you want, and then throw in a music editing software to master it? What's the tried and true method? 3. Are the judges bribable? Like... with cookies... or servitude... or something? lol

Like... with cookies... or servitude... or something? lol 1. It's a blurry line. Generally speaking, we're looking for something cohesive; stay away from medleys and develop your musical ideas. 2. There is no tried and true method. Everyone has their own preferred workflow. Just find whatever works for you. 3. Yes.
Gollgagh Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 3. Yes. hehehe ya sneak which reminds me that I still need to download your original songs
Liontamer ⚖️ Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 stay away from underdeveloped medleys Fixed. Let's not seemingly discourage medleys outright, since we've got plenty of 'em.

Bleck Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 We accept Cave Story and only Cave Story If you really want to get on here fast, though, just remix something from FF7 or Chrono Trigger. Or better yet, the Ice Cap theme from Sonic 3.
The Coop Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Paper airplanes tend to fly well, as do remote control helicopters and planes thanks to there being such little wind. Of course, that means kites don't get much use here, but you can't have everything.

By the way props on the soundfont collection! those rock!
relyanCe Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 One more question: When recording MIDI, is it best to stay on a piano patch, or put your intrument on first? I haven't experimented too much because I simply haven't had time to write a decent... anything... summer classes suck muchly... Basically I'd like to know the best way to actually record MIDI. I use a Yamaha 6-octave keyboard.

I use a Yamaha 6-octave keyboard. First question is, again, preference. Second, your keyboard will need a midi output jack, which looks like this: Which you'd need to plug into your computer with something like this cord:
relyanCe Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Oddly enough, my keyboard is USB type-A to type-B. It's connected fine and records. I was just wondering whats the best way to actually record it. So it's preference huh? Guess I'll have to experiment. Thanks!
relyanCe Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 ugh, sorry, but another question... When I record my MIDI tracks, the soundfonts kind of fade in and out every so often, regardless of the dynamic! I dunno why it's doing this... anyone understand this problem?
DarkeSword 🎮 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Alright, you need to stop asking these questions all in one thread. Please take it to the remixing forum and provide some details about your problem: what kind of hardware are you using, what programs are you using to record, etc. etc.
