SZRC - The Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2012

[Brandon Strader]

lol... go recruit your own secret weapon sax player!

I'm good mang. I've got Cubase 6 and killer studio chops. Transposing literally took 2 seconds and it sounds good. I only have a bit more drums to program, bass guitar to record, then I can re-amp all the guitars with my amplifier.

Then anything else I add is just icing on da cake.

My arrangement is pretty classy.. really digging it.

[Tuberz McGee]

Nearly everything is done.

Gotta fix a Snare, and Re-Record the lead guitar for the final minute.

This is the most fun I've had mixing in a LONG time.

Thank you guys for making this the best thing. I can't thank any of you enough.

[wildfire]

I only started mine yesterday. Opened up fl, made maybe 8 bars of meh, and closed it. Hopefully today will be more inspiring.

[ad.mixx]

Kind of trying something new with the arrangement I have going here.. that will either be a good thing or my downfall in this compo. Hopefully I can at least put up a good fight if anything

I also need to get the rest of my votes in.. hopefully tomorrow.

[wildfire]

ugh, Mokram, the zone you picked, do not want

[Benjamin Briggs]

(oh, and screw you for not giving me your vote x_x)

wow what an awesome way to get votes

[Brandon Strader]

I voted for Xenon Odyssey because of his bitcrushed fart.

There are better ways to get votes.

Ahah, have fun transcribing that one. ;D

...but don't worry too much. You're going to win.

haha, i chose to only use the piano solo-thingy, cause it's pretty much the only part i don't hate.

[KingTiger]

Well, my lyric-writing is done, my track itself sounds great (although I need to add 4 more bars at the end to accommodate the lyrics), now I just need to record my voice & get my guest vocalist to come to my place for a visit to record her parts...

[halc]

1:35 on my mix so far, and very happy with where it's going. :]

[Rexy]

wow what an awesome way to get votes

Oh come on Ben, that was merely out of jest >_> I at least responded to Bobby's query and still remained tact.

Good thing source usage isn't judged like for real oc remixes, cause you couldn't get away with that. ;P

Do you hate all ethnic instruments with a passion or just the melody being played here?

it's not the instruments. i'm just not fond of the melody in general, and it would take a really long time to get the rest of it into the daw. plus, i can barely figure out how to combine the two zones as it is.

Oh nice! Everyone is pulling out some secret weapons this round. Don't spoil the surprise tho!

Actually Larry sent me a stop watch so I can clock source usage for all of these mixes going forward

And how can you not like Dragon Road, wildfire? It's got an awesome melody! I can imagine it'll be hard to combine with other sources though cause it's so different. Good luck guys!

I guess it's cause I'm a pancake. Or a lizard. Honestly I'm not sure anymore.

Wildfire... our families raised us to be pancakes... what are you saying??

No one asked me, ok! What if I wanted to be a lizard?

You can get right the hell out of our country. We don't accept translizards here.

[Dj Mokram]

wildfire is now known as lazyfire. ;P

Anyway, time to start mixin'. Good luck to you Beth.

[Brandon Strader]

I'm gonna smother you with awesomeness like a pancake wrapping around a lizard, heavenly ecstasy until you realize you're dead from suffocation and/or being squished.

I sent my mix to SuperiorX.

[SuperiorX]

I sent my mix to SuperiorX.

I just saw, thanks. Is it cause you want to go play Diablo the rest of the week now?

[Brandon Strader]

Yeh this IS the fastest I've turned in a mix for one of these compos... I just needed to get shizz done! I've got like 3 more songs to make for the ff6 contest... but for now I'm playing Diablo 3.

[Rexy]

And this is a strange place to follow up a post, but do you EVER come onto Google Talk, Matt?

And this is a strange place to follow up a post, but do you EVER come onto Google Talk, Matt?

Ummm, is Google Talk different from the Google Chat in gmail? Or are they the same thing? I'm in Google chat in gmail quite frequently, but I'm on my phone right now at work (very productive, yes I know) so I'm not logged in now. I'm on a lot at night when I get home from work. But given our time difference, you Brits are mostly likely asleep at that time you're 6 hours ahead of EDT I think yes? so that could be why you don't see me on often.
