I vote for Chronamut because he forced me to and told me he would penetrate my anus if I didn't vote for him...so he's definitly the best audio artist that comes to mind right now

Wow...that's quite the hot topic here....Dreamscaper explained what he did and why, get off his back already, it's music, we make good stuff, we make bad stuff, we make mistakes, it's not the end of the world, Wade is not an ass so Dreamscaper can just come clean with him, it's obvious he's not some idiotic noob.
bunch of bullies

yeah it's a pain in the ass :(

Loading loops from external sources is not a really good idea, how would you preview your sounds when composing? you would wait for every sound when you need them? in the end you load them all anyway, it's better to have 1 loading and then everything's loaded and ready to use. And that's only if the website your game is hosted on has loose security that actually lets you access other domains.

As for automating volumes, I don't think that's something gamers would want or care about. sounds like you're try to make a music software rather than a game.

and I can't agree more with the people who say 1 or 2 artist is the way to go. cause you can't just put a bunch of riffs in C major (or minor) and think that people will have fun mixing them. Cause most of em won't fit together. A special effort must be put on making a well designed set of loops that goes together.

No offense guys but I don't think you know what you're getting into :P
Seishin1, what's your game programming experience?

Later guys

Hey there

I like your trance tunes bogman247 :)
Sounds like a cool project, I wanted to make a techn-o-matic with RageIV but I lost contact at some point and the project was lost into oblivion.

One of the important aspects of a game like that in my opinion, is that all the riffs should fit together or else it stops being a game and becomes a software. The harder it is to find combinations that fit together, the less fun you have. especially for people who know less about music who don't have the patience to check all the combinations. I made the punkomatic in a way that even pressing "Random" gives something that kinda sound good. But In order to do that you have to sacrifice a certain level of variety.
Having more than 2 melodic tracks also becomes a problem when you wanna have riffs that fit together. But there are ways to deal with this.

Given a certain authority in the project, maybe I would join in with the punk-o-matic's "engine" and my "expertise" haha :P
So bogman247 and Seishin1, drop me a word if you want to take this discussion a level further.

Good luck with it no matter what.

it's a fucking t-shirt

no more logo PLEASE! this contest was over a year ago!!! haha :D
NO MORE!!!! thanks!

You guys.....I like you! (except a couple of assholes)

but you all seem to think that making Punk-o-matic 2 is the only thing I should be doing in my life (maybe it is)....but I don'T have as much free time as I would want to, with my job, my band, my girlfriend, etc. I also lost interest in making the game after a while and started doing other things with my time...my plans for Punk-o-matic 2 are huge, so it's a scary project for me.

but I must apologize though cause it was a mistake to ask for all the logos back then, I should have waited until the game was ready to incorporate final artworks and additional content. Also because it made you think that the game was coming soon....but I got a shit load of logos and I still have them with the names of the people who made them. So I am grateful. I still get so many emails and comments, it's amazing and it gives me motivation to resume my work on the game and I recently updated my game design with more cool stuff and better ideas because of this. Although I don't garantee anything, I will resume my work on the game and try to get things moving and also try to keep the motivation.

So basicly I'm sorry for people who made logos and who think it was for nothing, but nothing is lost, I still have them and they will be used. Thanks for everybody's support and your undying thirst for another more punk-o-matic. it's sometimes fucking annoying but it's also good motivational fuel.

All I can say while you wait for another punk-o-matic is that patience is your best friend :)

Sprite movies, like any other movies, get the score that they deserve based on the general opinion, it's called democracy, Besides, in my opinion, sprites are ugly (low graphic quality ON PURPOSE, that's lame), they are not animated (just moved around and switched with other sprites over time) most of the time. So sprite movies are to be judged like all other types of movies. I see no reason to do it differently. If people don't like sprites, it's like that.

Hey there, I just wanna say it's extremely generous and kind from you guys to do something like that, not only newgrounds.com is a portal where you can get an amazing exposure for your work, for FREE, and there you go giving money prizes on top of that.

I mean just the website with the whole review/vote/profile/front page/awards/board/etc is a big gift to every flash artists around.

I wish you all the success with everything you do. You deserve it.
Too bad I submit something only once a year or so :( haha

Peace
Evil-Dog

huh....Steph is a guy...

I think Minushi is pretty great! but a bit too "family cartoon" hehe
Also the broken saints series has a great style!
and Freak 2 really sucked ass! What kind of idiot would make a movie like that! bwaha!

I say.....FUCK YOU ALL!

haha use the games dude, no one really cares, you'll get like 200 visitor in a year anyway

1) cause I look cooler
2) cause other people might learn from it

because "new" is for dynamic allocation of an object....storing it in a pointer

so it's either a dynamic object created with
Road* Road1 = new Road(blabla);
and deleted when done with it with
delete Road1;

or it's a local variable declared like
Road Road1(blabla);
deleted automaticly at the end of the scope.

Yay! it's good to see the Audio Portal is getting some attention after all!
good work, the layout is nice

I only have 1 complain, before your changes I was #1 in the top5, not 3rd :)

Peace

Hey there, ok well to make your voice sound like a woman you can try to pitch it up, but I'm sure it won'T give a perfect result, you're better wih a female voice actor :P
but you can give it a try, maybe by talking higher than usual and more sensually haha then you go in sound forge and do Effects >> Pitch >> Bend... in there you can set the slider on the left to set the intensity of the pitch shifting and you can move the point in the graphic to make your voice shift in any way, so for a female voice you can just click on reset envelope and put the 2 squares a little higher above the middle bar....that will give you a pitched up voice that may sound like a female voice.

For the time stretching it's also very easy (I suggest you try all the effects that are in the menus Effects and Process).
You go in the menu Process >> Time Stretch and then you select the right mode and move the slider to set the final time you want, different mode will give different results, depending on what your sound is, some modes are better.

Good luck :)

The more negative your number is, the more your tween will start slow and finish fast
the more positive your number is, the more your tween will start fast and finish slow

so for exemple if you wanna make an apple from a tree, you make a keyframe for the apple in the tree and another keyframe with the apple down the screen or something... -100 would look pretty good, the apple would start falling slow and accelerate
A car that starts and leave could also use -100

I use 100 often for transition, it's like a burst and ends smoothly....a car coming in the screen and stoping could use 100.

using values between -100 and 100 will produce different degree of easing...play with em.

Good luck

Oh and after a recording without the mic boost, the sound generaly requires an overall volume boost.

peace

Hey there buddy
I think I'm pretty good with sounds and use em well in my movies

Here's some tricks you might already know...

I disable the "mic boost" option in the mic properties in the windows recording properties.
you might wanna speak behind the mic, so there's no "sshhhh" and "PPP" and you can speak louder and closer when the voice comes from behind the mic (behind...from the side...as long as it's not directly into the mic hole)
you can also try to put a sock on the mic :)

Then I use sound forge to equalize the voices, you select a quiet part of the voices and raise the volume bit by bit...with a small gain everytime....like 115% and you use ctrl+y to redo the volume gain...so you try to make every part loud and clear

So good luck dude
