maybe the solution to stop this sort of voting is to require the voter to add some sort of reasoning along with their vote. It doesn't have to be a long review but it would be nice to know why somebody hates your track.

Anil Gupta

Does anybody know if Anil Gupta, late owner of Anco Software is the same Anil Gupta that was the Executive Producer of the series, "The Office"?

The cheapest setup is a computer with a Sound Blaster card and a dummy keyboard. The soundfonts you can buy/get off the net these days are pretty good.

Also, why is it that nobody has ever remixed Ocean Loader 3??

Yeah I think Ocean Loader 5 is just a remix of Ocean Loader 4. The 'drums' are slightly different and the 'rhythm' section is syncopated. Either way they both bring back that excitement where the song would draw to a close and you knew that at any moment the game would finish loading.

I can top that, when my brother and I were young, we used to do a chip-munk radio station... We would record our material on a reel to reel tape recorder speaking slowly in to the microphone then speed the tape up afterwards. Very sad come to think of it...

Thanks, I couldn't remember the name of the piece. I tried playing it on guitar about 5 or 6 years ago, I still to this day have no idea how he plays the piece so fast - sounds like too much dedication to me...

Yeah Peacemaker I had a listen and loved what you have done so far, that is what gave me the idea. I was thinking of a kind of virtuoso piece, just electric guitar. Similar to Steve Vai's piece from the movie, "Crossroads". Maybe not at 180bpm though, I've never been good at playing arpegg...

My first ever audio track was recorded on a reel to reel 2-track (I think I was singing, "Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel) however I don't happen to have that on my PC. The first track that I thought was good enough to record and keep was a song that I wrote shortly after a break...

Scumball with live guitar

Anyone out there a good enough guitarist to play those :twisted: wickedly :twisted: insane arpeggios on the guitar??? I'm thinking about giving it a go but it will probably take me weeks to get up to speed (that's if I practice, which I don't often do). Would anyone be interested in hearing an elect...

Speedball

I've uploaded a remix of speedball that my brother and I did recently on RKO but it will probably be some time before it gets posted on the site. I was pretty happy with how it turned out and I am too impatient to wait for it to go public on RKO. I'd like to know what people think... You can listen ...

In my defence, yes admittedly the bass line from this tune was sid2midi because I thought it would save some time (and it was pretty cool anyway). However, the chords in the background were not sid2midi, the guitar is not from a wavetable - instead it is played live by myself (which was the whole po...
