[21:03] not familiar [21:04] so the DKC was already released eh? [21:04] <@Paragon> yep [21:04] was the dude not familiar with the rules? [21:04] or was he a prick? [21:04] <@Paragon> idk [21:05] nonamer [21:05] :D [21:05] at least not a dod reg i dont think [21:05] ah [21:05] <@Paragon> does the playing seem a little shaky to you guys? on this song [21:05] not really [21:05] a little, but it's not bad [21:06] i wish i could play more like this [21:06] my keyboard skills suck [21:06] could be better performed, but so could everything [21:06] doesn't sound professional by any means [21:06] <@Paragon> clean recording and/or good samples, not sure which [21:07] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core - Carried to The End [21:07] yeah, piano is hard to tell [21:07] caust there's no bending [21:07] <@Paragon> PLAY: Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core - Carried to The End [21:07] i was praying so hard for this one to be awesome... [21:07] same here [21:07] harmonica doesn't quite work for me though it's not bad [21:08] <@Paragon> this percussion is nice [21:08] <@Paragon> i think it's just tapping on a guitar but im not sure [21:08] i thought that too at first [21:08] suddenly...shakers [21:08] heh [21:09] drums are a little off [21:09] drums might have been shaved a little too much [21:09] guitar is distorting [21:09] yea [21:10] it's a decent effort though, not bad [21:10] ff7cc doesnt get much coverage so anything is great [21:10] yeah, it's an amazing soundtrack [21:10] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - Un Lamento nella Notte [21:11] <@Paragon> PLAY: Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - Un Lamento nella Notte [21:11] i think this is the one with the flamenco guitar [21:11] lots of mic noise [21:12] playing isn't bad, not really a big fan of the production [21:12] i think it's pretty decent [21:12] anything that stands out to you? [21:12] it's clear, just with a bit of noise [21:13] you can tell it wasn't recorded on a very good mic [21:13] no low end [21:13] <@Paragon> liking the sound of the guitar overall [21:13] don't get me wrong, I like the arrangement and performance [21:14] nice one i liked it [21:14] hear those mics turn off [21:14] didn't even fade out the mic noise [21:14] yeah, was pretty good [21:14] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Kingdom Hearts - Dear to My Heart [21:15] <@Paragon> PLAY: Kingdom Hearts - Dear to My Heart [21:15] anon comped!!! [21:15] I like this one, you could put it on while reading a book [21:15] for the hell of it [21:15] nice playing [21:16] heh [21:16] <@Paragon> i like this one, but im familiar with it from the hikaru utada version [21:16] <@Paragon> oh wait this is a medley [21:16] <@Paragon> well i like this section. [21:16] <@Paragon> in particular [21:17] someone was dising on the left hand action in the forums [21:17] don't think a track like this needs to be overly busy [21:17] more left, the right gets too much credit anyway [21:17] ^^ [21:17] <@Paragon> i like the tone better than the other piano track, it's uhh fuller [21:18] sometimes simple chords with good timing works better [21:18] I'll be keeping this one, I like it a lot [21:20] I wonder what samples are being used for this tune [21:20] true pianos [21:20] hehehehehehe [21:21] holy shit [21:21] ... [21:21] jk i don't know for sure [21:21] anon comp [21:21] yea right, i wish this was me [21:21] love the samples, I could play the hell out of these samples for hours [21:21] <@Paragon> anonymity is such a pain. you're both banned and so is anybody who reads this chatlog [21:22] finally [21:22] i've been waiting for that para [21:22] ha [21:22] good chance for mind games though [21:23] I almost enjoy playing piano more than guitar these days [21:23] if i did this all in one take i would freaking out right about now going "dont screw this up! dont screw this up!" [21:23] this tune makes me want to stop and just go play [21:23] heh [21:23] nice sustain at the end [21:23] yeah [21:23] just long enough [21:23] yeah, that tune was a success [21:24] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Super Mario 64 - The Landlubberly Guitarist [21:24] <@Paragon> PLAY: Super Mario 64 - The Landlubberly Guitarist [21:25] <@Paragon> oof [21:25] heh [21:25] I appreciate the effort [21:25] <@Paragon> is that an intonation issue or what [21:25] no, thats a wrong note [21:25] <@Paragon> ah [21:25] i thought that was intentional [21:25] fingers in the wrong place [21:25] oh wait got some dead notes in there [21:26] here's the thing, some of this is not bad, but if I can't play a song right I wont record it and put it out [21:26] i'm not a big mario guy so i have no idea what i'm listening to [21:27] i like the general idea though [21:27] this is a pretty classic tune [21:27] if it was me i'd do about 40 more takes then i maybe i'd have it [21:27] :) [21:27] <@Paragon> kind of a decent ending [21:27] <@Paragon> i think it was rushed [21:27] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Super Mario World - Over World [21:28] not bad [21:28] well, I liked it [21:28] how much longer until sonic?... [21:28] and I liked the arrangement [21:28] ha [21:28] <@Paragon> PLAY: Super Mario World - Over World [21:28] 2 more [21:29] <@Paragon> snapping my fingers along to this [21:29] oh what the fuck the listening party was tonight?

[21:31] wtf [21:31] and there goes the snowman scat [21:31] <@Paragon> i doubt its sampled haha [21:31] i heard a weird cut in there at the start [21:31] more scat damnit! [21:31] <@Paragon> haha the intensity on that [21:31] ha [21:32] <@Paragon> man that guy was committed [21:32] twas a good time [21:32] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, Sonic & Knuckles - Piano Medley [21:32] yea there is a seam in there after the WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW [21:32] <@Paragon> PLAY: Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, Sonic & Knuckles - Piano Medley [21:33] too fast for the naked eye [21:33] sonic the hedgehog [21:33] sonic he can really move [21:33] sonic hes got an attitude [21:33] wrong song [21:33] is the sustain pedal held down? [21:33] <@Paragon> i guess this must be a real piano, if badly miced [21:34] I mean, it's decent playing, but hell, sustain [21:34] played in a saloon [21:34] got any good sasparilla? [21:34] heh, guess someone needs to tune their piano [21:35] I would love to hear this with better production [21:35] i think this month forced alot of people to improvise [21:36] yeah, nothing wrong with that, it's cool that people used what they had [21:36] but it's like a producer hearing a demo track and thinking of the potential [21:37] i've played sonic games my whole life but i'm having trouble recognizing some melodies [21:37] there we go familiar again [21:37] I've heard these [21:38] heh [21:38] a christmas tree to go with that ornamentation [21:38] you know, I bet the reason why no one is here is because they're all watching Doctor Who new episode [21:38] heh [21:38] thats my wit right there [21:39] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Sonic the Hedgehog - Acoustonic [21:39] <@Paragon> PLAY: Sonic the Hedgehog - Acoustonic [21:39] winner [21:40] <@Paragon> wrong notes? [21:40] I didn't hear any [21:40] <@Paragon> hmm well i dont know sonic music that well so i must be recognizing it wrong [21:40] i think there are alot of medley's this month because everyone wants to show me how to do a friggen medley after my entry last month [21:40] could be wrong [21:41] or maybe this is dod [21:41] awww yea favorite boss music [21:42] is it me or is the lead to left a bit too annoyingly? [21:43] if that makes sense, let me rephrase that [21:43] the left side of my head hurts [21:43] intonation is off a bit at times, I don't think it's a big deal though [21:44] I think the guitars a mic'ed decently [21:44] i really like this but i'm not crazy about the lead being just to the left the whole time [21:44] i guess it's a guitar duo but.... [21:44] are you listening with headphones? [21:44] yea [21:45] let the other guitar take a melody a few times you know [21:45] that d-bag is hogging everything [21:45] ^^ [21:45] ha [21:45] I think the panning is aight [21:46] if it were hard left or something [21:46] then it would really kill [21:46] and the right guitar now has something [21:46] awesoe [21:46] me [21:46] yea [21:46] <@Paragon> i'm on headphones so the panning is a little strong for me [21:46] yea see i'm not alone [21:46] ^^ [21:47] lots of tunes don't sound "right" in headphones, it's a totally different listening experience [21:47] define "right" ^^ [21:47] well, maybe not how they were ment to be heard [21:48] like if someone was mixing with some monitors [21:48] #1 [21:48] makes me want to go to Sonic Ultimate Genesis collection tonight [21:48] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Rawater [21:49] I can never mix in just headphones, then it wouldn't sound right on my speakers [21:49] Garpocalypse, no doubt [21:49] <@Paragon> PLAY: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Rawater [21:49] I mostly use speakers then use headphones towards the end of the polishing [21:49] then again i suck at this... [21:50] this one is a little confusing [21:50] I bounce back and forth, to make sure it sounds decent in both, but mixing on normal speakers or monitors trumps the headphone in importance [21:50] trying to get the track to sound the way I want it on as many different platforms as possible [21:50] it's like trying to code html and css, trying to make a page look the same on every browser [21:50] <@Paragon> this is frenetic in a good way [21:51] I like this track [21:51] yeah [21:51] melody jumps out but not at first [21:51] supposed to imitate rushing water maybe? [21:52] I mean, this isn't the best flamenco ever, but I like it [21:52] <@Paragon> QUEUE: Xenogears - Torn Apart [21:52] Either this means sun water or someone who ate something raw i guess [21:52] don't much like the ending, but, it was a decent track [21:52] *** Demonstray has joined #dwellingofduels [21:52] hey demon [21:52] <@Paragon> it was interesting how more than one person went for flamenco this month [21:52] hey guyyyyth [21:52] <@Paragon> yo, about to do the Xenogeards song [21:52] <@Paragon> xenobeards [21:52] orsome <3 [21:52] made it for the last tune [21:53] <@Paragon> PLAY: Xenogears - Torn Apart [21:53] hmm [21:53] I remember this track, I listened to Xenogears quite a bit [21:53] something is shakey L/R [21:53] echo [21:53] listen to that mic noise [21:54] sooooooo much mic noise [21:54] I think it's copy-pasted because the it takes a little while to ease into the mic noise [21:54] and then it takes a while again [21:55] or it could be gated [21:55] good effort [21:55] but repetitive [21:55] yeah, gate is plausible [21:55] yeah, decent, the original was like that [21:56] yeah that was cool [21:56] refreshing choice of instruments [21:56] Sonic wins [21:56] onto next month
