Sonic Time Twisted [Fan Game]: Drifting Dynamo Past

[Grimchi3f]

I use FLStudio10, VirtualDJ 7, WavePad, Audacity & NoteWorthy Composer.

You use all of those... at the same time!? *faints*

IDK if anyone knows really, but does anyone know good ways to EQ a rhythm guitar? It seems like I can find "it's place" for bass, drums, and a lead guitar easy enough, but it seems like every time I have a rhythm guitar (which seems like always), it just muds up everything. I'm kinda asking just in general, and of course, for this project. I wasn't very happy with how cluttered my "Building the Empire" song was, D;.

[VizardJeffhog]

Gregzilla, thank you ever so much for song #2 with Wrapped in Black! >D Kickass sounds, good buddy.
Wow, two in a night and only four days into the project.. XD

As for you Wolfy, dunno how I can help ya on that one... xD;;;

Have you tried some Stereo Shaping? Even some simple panning can do the trick. I would say focus on where the guitar is the heaviest. By rhythm guitar.....do you mean like a guitar that handles chords or the opposite?

Yeah, I always pan, it just still seems so muddy to me still, maybe it's my tone. And yeah, the chords and all that jazz

XD No not all at once. You Goof.

Well, I meant all on the same project, just for different things.

No.
FLStudio is my primary DAW
Virtual DJ is what I use to...DJ - it's also handy if I ever want to make some quick Scratch sounds, or if I want to apply some Turntable Effects to a song.
WavePad / Audacity are handy lil tools for editing audio samples, as I find the wav-editing tools inside FL to be a lil lacking.
NoteWorthy Composer is what I use to create MIDIs...which is rare, but Its how I started.

[Urban Flow]

Alright here is the first song I completed; Well I made a Sega Genesis remix of Bingo Highway, I figured this would be good considering no one here does Sega Genesis covers (as far I know) Anyways, I am a Big Sega fanatic and I love the Sega Genesis so yeah Also, add this to my list of songs.......I was gonna tell you earlier but I forgot This was made under the limitations of the Sega Genesis mind you. So case in point, this can play in an actual genesis hardware. I tagged the MP3 in the artist area only (so you know who made it of course)

So wait. Identical sounding songs, both at identical lengths (minus 1 sec.)
Dood. Please, seriously. *sigh* Did you grab this MIDI and just apply VOPM/Megadrive Soundfonts to it?
Imean... You can even here in your's where the soundfonts cant reach the super-high notes at 1:12...

Well actually no (I don't even use that soundfont, just VOPM). To be fairly honest the reason I even decided to do this was because it was a Sega Genesis Remix. I mean I could do some proper arranging if it does not pass. no problem really. ;;;

I would go out of my way to make a different type of mix, but that was not my intention. It was simply to display the Sega genesis Sound. I had to do some editing. Since The Sega Genesis Guitar can't even handle chords to begin with. So I had to cut the chord in half really. I did some work on it. I am not gonna lie. It was not just, load up FL, copy notes into a plugin, fix a volume or two then export. If that is what you were thinking. The concept was to make it under the limitations of the Genesis bro. Go listen to the original and this, you will hear a difference. I don't want to upset you or make anyone else uncomfortable for that matter, so if its an issue, do tell me

I'm not saying it doesn't sound nice - on the contrary it sounds pretty darn cool.

The issue is that it's:
1) More or less note-for-note the original piece...and moreso-
2) Nearly identical to a MIDI created by (Unless its a different username of yours) Someone OTHER than yourself.

The reason places like OCRemix.org, and other sites have specific guidelines for what is and is not an acceptable submission - the reason this project needs to have similar guidelines on what is and is not an acceptable submission, is the potential Copyright issues that can spring up surrounding Remix's, Covers, Arrangements, Mashups, and the like (of which all 4 things are different things entirely) when you are dealing with this stuff.

This is probably most easily explained here.

Ahhh Okay I see now . I know where you are getting at. I mean I have no problem arranging melodies (even if that mix was not to receive one anyways) of my own onto a mix as I have done my own arrangements before and what not; But of course it makes sense. That wiki did explain it well. Everyone else, take my lack of understanding as an example of what should not be submitted . Alright then, this will be scrapped. It was not my intention to arrange that song, but those implications do still count in end. Alright with that said, I will get back to working on my Aquatic mine arrange

[:: DJ EAR ::]

I still like how it came out.
Why not just re-imagine it?

Stick with the Genesis sounds, Stick with Remixing Bingo Highway - but actually...Remix it. ^^;;

Incorporate your own ideas into the piece and make it your own. I think it'd be a pretty cool lil chiptune. (Something the '11 Album didn't really have...)

I'll give it some thought! Thanks.

[Gregzilla]

I'm backing out on the Sweet Dream mix. It's giving me too many exporting problems, and it doesn't sound as good as I intended. It's free if anyone else wants to do it. Mean Bean Machine remix is coming along well, though.

For the sake of keeping things orderly, I'll refrain from claiming dibs on any other songs at the moment. The ones I have in mind are fairly obscure, but I'll wait until I know for sure that I'm doing 'em.

[VizardJeffhog]

Thanks for handling that, EAR!

Urban, as much as it sounds cool, it needs to feel like something made by Urban Flow! >D Get more into the remixing bit! It's gotta be more you!

[Grimchi3f]

Sorry about doing this again, but scratch Ice Cap, Data Select, and Marble Zone for me. I'm sorry but there is no way I'll be able to do those. Instead of those, I may end up doing something original. Again, sorry.

[VizardJeffhog]

Dang dude. Alright, edited!
