FFVII Remix Update

Posted by Japanesekanji Nov. 27, 2009 @ 10:53 PM EST

UPDATE FOR FFVII REMIXES:

I finished up some songs; here's the current progress in order of about how done:

Anxious Heart
- Recorded. - 100%
Mako Reactor - Tabbed, remixed, and recorded. - 100%
Boss Battle - 30/71 bars converted and remixed into tabs; no recording done - approx. 20% done.
Underneath the Rotting Pizza - No Tabs Needed - Syth Bass and Strings Prepared - approx. 20% done.

I hooked up some 80's sound hardware, so now I can get some better EQ done on the guitar. Sounds good in my opinion.

Final Fantasy VII Soundtrack Remix

Posted by Japanesekanji Nov. 9, 2009 @ 7:16 AM EST

I remember as a kid, I'd play Final Fantasy VII all of the time. It's still my favorite game. One thing I remember from it that I loved was the soundtrack. I though, 'Hey, why not cover the soundtrack from FF7?' So that's what I'm gonna do. I'll have to spend a lot of time in TuxGuitar writing tabs and looking MIDI files, so it'll take a long time to cover every song. The hardest part will probably be incorporating guitar and/or drums into each song. Anyways, I have 60 songs to cover, and Livyathan from Draconity will be helping with the drums and bass.

Anyways, here's the current progress:

Boss Battle - 30/71 bars converted and remixed into tabs; no recording done - approx. 20% done.
Underneath the Rotting Pizza - No Tabs Needed - Syth Bass and Strings Prepared - approx. 20% done.

The rest of the songs are not tabbed or remixed.

We've got a long way to go, so wish us luck.

Startin' Over

Deleted my songs and flashes. Well, except two songs, because Newgrounds won't let me.

Hey... That Sounds Kinda Cool...

Posted by Japanesekanji Aug. 31, 2009 @ 7:00 PM EDT

I recently posted a song called (JPK)Anarchy. Personally, I like the guitar's distortion. I think I'm gonna keep that sound for a while. What do you all think?

New Equipment and New Projects

Posted by Japanesekanji Aug. 19, 2009 @ 6:27 PM EDT

Hey. I bought some new guitar cords, so now my set-up is 100% complete. I'm going to sell my old Fender Starcaster soon so I can afford this effects pedal/USB recorder at the local guitar shop. I have roughly $25, so that means I'm about $125 off. If you wanna help, go here.

Also as a project idea, I thought it would be fun to cover a few DOOM songs.

DOOM songs done:

I have Bell's Palsy.

Posted by Japanesekanji Aug. 15, 2009 @ 6:40 AM EDT

Hey all. I apparently have a case of Bell's Palsy. That basically means I can barely move 1/2 of my face. It sucks. My eye gets dry from poor blinking ability, and I can't smile, frown, or anything. All I can say is that this sucks. Luckily they gave me some medications. They for some reason gave me steroids, but if it works, I'll be glad as hell. Well, I'm gonna go find some tape so I can close my eye for when I go to bed. G'night.

I Finally Set Up A Good "Studio"

Posted by Japanesekanji Aug. 1, 2009 @ 2:36 AM EDT

Okay, so basically, I figured out how to record my guitar a little better. Anyone looking for some tips may want to read this... Anyways, here's basically a checklist that I made of what I did/need to do:
[X] Guitar
-[X] GOOD guitar.
[X] Effects equipment.
-[X] Software effects
[X] Cords
-[X] Power
-[X] 3/4" Jack
[X] Converters
-[X] 3/4" to 1/4"
-[ ] 3/4" to USB
[ ] Average or better recording hardware
-[ ] Knowledge of how to use the hardware
[X] Lots of picks
[X] Extra strings
[X] Recording software
[X] Sound editing sofware
[X] Arranging Softare
[X] A power supply
[X] Extra instruments
-[ ] Drum kit
-[ ] Drum recording hardware
-[ ] Bass guitar
[X] VSTi instruments
-[X] Drums
-[X] Bass guitar

Tips to all of you out there:
x If your recording hardware seems to give you too dirty of a sound, make sure your volume isn't too high and make sure your distortion is acceptable. If neither works, try tuning up. I can't tune any lower that dropped D tuning before it starts sounding really dirty or overly distorted.
x Make sure your recording hardware doesn't suck. You know, unlike my set-up.
x Remember, always feel free to record multiple takes instead of one huge one, and never fear re-recording something. Better to spend 5 extra minutes on a song than to have your song sound like crap.

That's all for now.

MUSIC

The featured musician today is DarKsidE555. He is an amazing guitarist who does mostly heavy metal. Anyone who likes their metal nice and heavy should listen to his music.

So I'm working on an RPG...

Posted by Japanesekanji Jun. 7, 2009 @ 1:39 AM EDT

I'm working on an RPG. Well, an engine at the least. So far I lack a good story line, really. Actually, I lack a storyline completely. So far, it's mostly glitch-free, but I have yet to get beyond a very basic battle system and a movement system. Hopefully, it will stay glitch-free. At least the music's not bad. So far, I have just a battle song (played by Engage 7) and a boss song. Not much else... So yeah, I'm hopefully going to finish it.

Wish me luck.

And I'm going to work on a real-time strategy. It might be neat, but I might win $200.

Also, this new anti-adblocker crap doesn't work. You can easily block it again. Also, Tom Fulp, this is a rather idiotic idea. Make people mad and tell them to buy a shirt. Mad people complain and go somewhere else, not buy shirts from the very source of their anger...
