Oof. Haven't been active here in a long, long while. In any case, I thought I'd be active on forums again since I have a bit of leeway in my schedule.
Other than that, have some recent recordings I did that's starcraft related and a work-in-progress song that has no relation to anything at all other than being produced out of whim.
I honestly do not like the change. Then again, I'm not really an active user here unless someone PMs me and needs me to voice something. And since I am not an active user, my opinion for this sudden change would probably go to deaf ears. And I would assume that the admins here can't do much about it since it seems like all the curse affiliated forums get this upgrade? Could be wrong but eh.
It has been a while since I've been here. Medical stuff got in the way. I still can't voice act on account of my asthma having just attacked yesterday.
But here's a demoreel for you guys to listen to if some of you are in need or are interested in having me on board your project.
Some random songs I produced using some freebie loops from Acoustica Mixcraft. Terms and condition says that if I have a legit license for the DAW, I have full permission to use anything in it and do whatever I want with them, even put my name on it. So I did. :P
Decided to redo my moloch take from AC. I made this one as a before and after thing. The first part is just my normal voice with no edits aside from slicing them close and such. Then a beep. Then a second part where filters are applied to my voice.

Really had to get upclose to the mic for it to pick up whispers.
Hey there! Sorry for the late replies in the PM. If you can, hit me up on my skype. I'm much more active there since I'm always on my mobile! You can send me lines there and I can get to recording them asap when I get time to record!
But I can still run my original copy of Broodwar surprisingly without any fixing or patching on my Win10. I guess its just safe to assume that it'll crash for everyone, yeah?
I'm still playing SCBW even up until now. But I kinda miss the campaigns that it came with. I mean, yeah, SC2's map editor is much more robust and dynamic but I find SCBW a bit more appealing.
I've been wanting to do this campaign for a long while now but I've been considering just doing it on SCBW for nostalgia's sake and on account of it happening after the fall of Auir. Its about the Lost Tribe. Their wiki article was literally barren with only their decal and its availability in multiplayer. So I grabbed the chance and made a story about them. I've had them sever their cords even before the whole Amon ordeal but still hold major distrust with the DTs.
It'll be accompanied by a single player mod that would slightly change the gameplay. I was thinking of having pylons be linked together, meaning a pylon can only be built within a pylon field with the Nexus the only thing allowed to be built anywhere but also emitting its own pylon field. They also lack photon cannons for defenses but make do for elite Zealots and dragoons that can be trained in the Nexus.
Nothing too character-centric. Its about a group of protoss trying to survive harsher lands after leaving their home and their fellows behind.
But I've digressed for too long. I was wondering if the campaign initiative includes SCBW campaign. If not, that's alright. I would then wonder if you guys would like a campaign from SCBW?
String, all your stuff is amazing. How do you get your samples to be so clean? Do you have access to a studio?
Not at all! I just a Samson C01U USB Condenser microphone, and a little bit of processing. I'm not even sure if the room I'm recording in is a suitable place as it doesn't have those fancy cusions you'd see in a proper studio. I have a wooden bed with no cushion, concrete walls with cabinets fused against it that contains nothing, basically a college dormitory but not in college. :P
My workflow for every recording I do is this:
Record
Wait 10 seconds for background noise sampling
Talk, Stop recording
Sample that 10 seconds of background noise
Noise Reduction
Apply filters
Equalize
Compress
Manual Treble Equalization on sibilants
Sample audible dithering noise for reduction
Noise Reduction
Normalize
Manual Noise Cleanup
Render
As for what Manual Noise Cleanup exactly means, I basically, I zoom in, alternate between spectral imagery and waveform imagery, and generate silence on every single thing that makes a hissing noise that the two instances of noise reduction might have missed. The first and second noise reduction had taken care of most of the work so its not as time consuming as you'd expect. Just the little bits of hiss here and there that didn't match up with the noise sample.
It usually takes me 5 minutes to do all those things after recording thanks to shortcut keys.
Also, if its anything to consider, I record really close to the mic but have its recording volume at around 70 - 80% so even if I scream, it would clip or distort.
Or if I'm feeling super lazy, I just throw the recording into FL Studio, pop in a limiter and set the limiter as a noise gate. It usually gets rid of all the noise for those quick recordings.
New tune! I really should go back to making more orotund songs. But these kinds of songs are so easy to make and they sound good aswell.

Favorite movie scenes, sure. But a favorite movie altogether? I'm reluctant to say its Starship Troopers. But only because of the Klendathu Drop scene.
I couldn't finish clannad when I heard that the ending was a massive tear jerker. I just want my happy shit, man. I've had enough crying boohoo drama to last me two lifetimes.

An update on my Overmind filter. I think this is closer to the original!

I.. was told someone needs a voice actor here?
The original post is from way back in August so I'm not sure if this thing is still in the works.
Have my demoreel if anyone's interested.

Went for a CnC feel. Synths and drums sound cheap. The pad is amazing. The guitar is alright, I suppose.

Kinda excited what my character would look like. :x

That's a good point to consider.

------------------------Not really fitting with the theme of the website but I made a rather happy song for a client. It sound repetitive for now but they plan on putting some vocals on it soon. https://instaud.io/private/cd3436967d9dbb229a9e0cfffcbffa983f00bc52

Here's an old one that I just found laying around. I have absolutely no idea what its for nor was I trying to sound like. https://instaud.io/private/4aa599576582173766a6dfc10228a58b6988ea22
