SuperiorX Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just a little over 24 hours until the Sonic Bracket Finals are due!! I hope ladyWildfire and Amphibious are making good progress!!! We still have 24 hours to vote on the Robotnik Bracket Round 3 tracks too! We haven't had a ton of votes at this point, but I'm honestly a little surprised both match-ups have been so one-sided thus far in the voting. I really enjoyed all 4 tracks this week! Nice job to each of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Almost done with my track, I'll probably submit it before I head into work tonight. I have engaged the cheesy MIDI vibraphone this time around. Also tried to experiment a bit more with some sampling, though nothing super crazy. I'm fairly happy with the result. Definitely eager to hear what wildfirrrrre has in store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have engaged the cheesy MIDI vibraphone this time around. There are 2 vibe samples that are must haves, they are: Mellotron vibes (like Mike Pinder) The Orchestral percussion vibes sample in EWQL: SO The only way up from there is live vibes (and the mellotron ones are irreplaceable IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonetic Hero Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 nah bro, the rest of us have a pool going to see who gets to snuff you. It'll probably be Will. I hear hot tea is the method of choice for the English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 For fairly cheap, you can pick up these vibe samples. While I have other stuff, I really do like these ones for certain things. It's only $19 and they're for Kontakt or Ableton Live. http://puremagnetik.com/post/74715466420/malletpak-vibraphone-ableton-live-pack-kontakt-logic-sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfire Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 My song is totally channeling some 90's house music, which is definitely one of my favorite genres. Hope you guys like it as much as I do or at least don't hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGH Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I don't even have work or school all week and I still think I'm going to die before Saturday I hear you...this is the first week of the compo where I haven't had something IRL take up half my week hahaha... Although my 21st birthday is on Friday. That means in all likelihood I won't be even halfway functional come Saturday I have the bulk of mine done as of now, really just finishing touches to do now. Should be submitted either today or tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfire Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have the bulk of mine done as of now, really just finishing touches to do now. Should be submitted either today or tomorrow My mind is blown on how you can get most of it done so early in the week. No matter how much I work on the mix throughout the week, consistently 85% of my work is done between the hours of 10pm and 3am the Saturday before the deadline. I guess I just need to feel the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGH Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) My mind is blown on how you can get most of it done so early in the week. No matter how much I work on the mix throughout the week, consistently 85% of my work is done between the hours of 10pm and 3am the Saturday before the deadline. I guess I just need to feel the pressure. For me it really all depends on how inspired I am (I'm extremely competitive, lol) and how well ideas flow for me... I've been fortunate enough throughout this compo to really not have any writers block at all so far, therefore I've been able to just kinda bang out my tracks in a few days. I remember I got some SERIOUS writers block in the Mega Man remix compo in 2011 against Prophetik in the semis. It led me to attempt dubstep for the very first time....wasn't pretty Edited March 18, 2014 by TheGuitahHeroe autocorrect sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is writer's block really that common? I always thought it was more of a rare event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfire Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is writer's block really that common? I always thought it was more of a rare event. I've gotten writer's block every week in this compo. I usually don't get anything remotely good until Thursdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I generally have few issues coming up with ideas. Where I might struggle is then executing on those ideas to the extent I want to. Getting everything to sound just like how I envisioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonetic Hero Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is writer's block really that common? I always thought it was more of a rare event. Depends on how you're defining writer's block - short bouts of difficulty coming up with something you're happy with, or longer, extremely frustrating periods of time where you can't make anything work I get stuck at least once or twice a session when I write, and I'll either take a break or go to sleep and try again later. Sometimes it works, sometimes I'm still fucked. This week I haven't even started on my Sonic mix because I'm still cramming to get 3 other tracks done by Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
