Dude, some of those posts in the 'Wario walks into a bar' thread were just plain lame. Thanks to Robin though, we derailed the thread from the initial 'every post a contained story' goal and started one continuous story. I was honestly surprised at how barebones and "jumpy" the first page was, after the second page spoiled me with its overarching narrative. I had jumped to stupidface's rowboat post, and with the exception of CMV's barely-disguised fetishism, was surprised at how solid this improv exercise was turning out to be.

In other news, really happy with how the sentence mixing turned out for this one song, because I managed to make it successfully sound like all the words in that section using only the 37 voice samples included in WL4 =

I never realized how many songs were in 125bpm.

I have no idea if the post I made in the Introductions category is actually shit or w/e but I feel like a total fag regardless. I feel like I should leave it up though, it's still somewhat therapeutic, I think-- like cough medicine or smth. Plus, if the stuff I wrote in the tags helps anyone in the future, then that's all the better.

Does anybody know what that Disney thing is from the 80s, where it was for Halloween, and the whole thing consisted of music videos for popular tunes at the time? It included Superstition, Sweet Dreams, Somebody's Watchin' Me (or whatever that song's called-- you know how song titles are though, it's always the chorus or the first two words), Thriller, Bad Moon Rising, the Monster Mash (because of goddamn course it does), Ghostbusters, and uhhh that might be it actually. Maaaaybe Werewolves of London.
But I want to find it again because the level of effort gone into syncing up little clips, finding bits from hundreds of old Disney shorts *that actually work in-context,* it literally reminds me of some top-tier cartoon edit that'd get thousands of views today, like that edit where someone put Naruto audio over Nature Pants and re-synced the mouths.

"I really wish procrastination wasn't so big of an inspiration." Especially because I've realized the song I thought to cover, which inspired the post I'm quoting, works *really* well with Wario's voice clips, in addition to the soundfont, which has me elated to eventually get back to it.

IMPORTANT: I've just compiled all of my Wario remixes into one playlist for your convenience!

(Fun Fact) The last syllable of the English WL4 credits theme is an example of a melisma: it's one syllable, but it's drawn out to span multiple notes

I really wish procrastination wasn't so big of an inspiration.

Oh yeah; here's the link to the DS Bionicle Heroes track, which I started working on literally during April.

Propellerhead actually responded to one of my vent posts where I ranted about all the shit Reason 10 gives you from the get-go, and it was the one where I superficially asked where the Piano Roll was-- which was thoughtful, I suppose-- but now I kind of feel bad, because it sobered me to the fact that I'm getting mad at the wrong person. Up until now it was just a faceless company but now it's a bit less faceless and so it bothered me a little.
I don't want to lay into the teacher about making me put up with this shit, because I'm sure that I'm like one case in the last few semesters that's having to learn a second (seemingly inferior, definitely less user-friendly) music-making software as opposed to my first-- making an exception for me would be ridiculous. That doesn't stop me from hating Reason 10, but I immediately am disliking the Music Production class so far from the fact that I have to use it.

Waamix for Waaktan's Temple is now live: https://soundcloud.com/tahutoa/air-waalenge

MIDI files for latest project now up!!
Here's the original finished version: http://www.vgmusic.com/new-files/Zakktan.mid
And here's the FINAL version: http://www.vgmusic.com/new-files/Zakktan_Mobile.mid

As their names suggest, if you're on PC, I recommend listening to the former (assuming you don't plan on doing any arranging once downloaded like I would). If you're using Google Play Music, definitely go for the latter. I have no clue what either one would sound like on Apple Music (assuming it plays MIDIs), so that one's up to you.
Really, the only immediately detectable difference is whether 'ShhShh' will be a Breath Noise or an Agogo, but when the sound's level of intrusiveness effectively gets swapped depending on the platform, it's a big one in practice.

To anyone reading, please go to this thread and help me decide which version of this latest waamix is better.

Every now & then I remember Spike from Transformers is currently the official voice for Captain Hook (and fucking Count Dooku), and every time my respect for Corey Burton completely reinvigorates itself.

Uploaded the Wariofied ver. of Burning Heat: https://soundcloud.com/tahutoa/burning-heat
Those of you with eagle ears may be able to pick out the parts where I've snuck in a remix of Flamin' Wario.

Interestingly, WL4's "[43,0] Square" preset is almost identical to the actual bass for the original Burning Heat.
Add that, plus the [19,2] Bass Organ (as I often do), and it sounds pretty dope. I also wanted to give off that Arabian Nights, Fiery Cavern type of vibe, so I included the Oboe and Hotel Horror Strings, respectively, to help boost the sound. What was originally a Tubular Bell I inserted as a Beyond the Headrush, if I recall-- it's kind of hard to hear, but it's there, and even works as a third harmony.
