I've watched tutorials on how to make many types of sounds on both though, and from what I've seen, Massive just tends to give off a better, more grand sound.... Idk. I may go with that. In my (probably ignorant) opinion, Massive seems more worthwhile to learn.
Massive was one of the first vsts I got, and I've found that the learning experience I gained from it has transitioned well into the other vsts I would later use. Not trying to knock on Sylenth though, as it is also a powerful vst that would be a great thing to have in your toolkit. But for me, I had a lot more to learn from using Massive.
I think a number of people are having this sort of issue, so it's probably not just you. Seems Back-From-Purgatory sent a PM to an admin, so hopefully it will be resolved soon.

What about some comic or animation or SOMETHING on the origin of Newgrounds and how it came to be? Throw in some fantastical elements for good measure. A personal friend suggested it to me, and I kinda think it'd be fun.
If there's enough people wanting to celebrate, all of the above. Though I wonder if Tom Fulp has anything planned for this upcoming occasion himself.

Now NG was created on 6 July 1995... which means NG's 20th anniversary falls on 6 July NEXT YEAR!
I wonder what we can do to hype up the excitement for it... I was envisioning some sort of massive audio, art and animation collab, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Maybe we can get some of the talented folks at Animation to do some music videos for the talented musicians, hmm?
Are the two tracks he uploaded here his original work?

All sorts of ways! I've listened to music on a system before and thought how cool it would be if that one sound was like this instead of that, and would integrate it into a bunch of other pieces of inspiration until I made something that I really liked. Visualizing a story has also inspired me to make a "soundtrack" for it. Recently, there's been actual art and imagery that made me want to make something cool.
I make random melodies a lot of times, always saving them for another project in the future. It's what I usually start with. Then the beat, followed by the progression. After that, a bunch of small samples are tossed in for more flow, and I rearrange them in a lot of different ways to give them some variation.
That's the rough draft mode, at least.

Yes. Only speaking for myself, though.
Shhhh.
Where I grew up, games were considered more of a child interest than a male one. Exaggeration is a key tool in the entertainment industry in general, and I believe it's used to appeal to both sexes in their own ways.

Not that that's a bad thing. There's always next year.

Watched it Netflix and then got it on blu-ray later.
I think fuckass is a permanent part of my vocabulary now. :c
What's a fuckass?
Congratulations to all those who made it, and thanks to RealFaction for making this super fun contest and showing me all these talented musicians and artists!

I shall name these planets: Newgrounds, Pluto, Druidia, and Bob.

I've come to learn that there's a lot of us out there! Meeting someone who shares the same name as you is pretty surreal.

It's one more place where someone can stumble upon your work.
I think labels are silly and are often used to make poor assumptions on individuals.
A true classic! I think Chris Brown did a terrific rendition of it.
Haven't used Audacity in a while, but I found this link for you which seems to be pointing the finger at bad analog equipment. "Remove any DC offset" seems to be the solution under Effect>Normalize.

I think it's a saw wave with a ton of voicing and detuning. Maybe also a touch of distortion. A vibrato effect seems to show up on the longer sustained notes. Also sounds like it's a monophonic sound, so the first couple of notes sort of glide in from another note. Cut out the lower frequencies, and you should be somewhere in the ballpark.

I might just not submit it at all.
Not even after the deadline?
Are there going to be any collaborated submissions? I don't think I've seen one yet.
Hello! Have you tried PMing some of the video game musicians around here? I'm sure there are some that would gladly offer their tracks for your game in exchange for some exposure, although it would still be really awesome of you to give out a little more compensation. Be sure to properly credit them and provide some links to their audio if they agree.
Use a lot of different sounds in your tracks and have FX knobs moving around during playback. If you use FL Studio, run automation clips around to give your track some motion.

A lot of work, and a lot of fun.
Never had a problem with the law, but in the event that I'm arrested, I'm sure someone would rescue me before I fall into despair.
I actually like the new style! Favorites would have to be Recess, Dirty Vibe, and Ragga Bomb.
We're all supposed to be having fun with this, guys.

I usually use my interface soundcard but when i am not at home(connected to the interface) i have no way to go but use the primary sound card which sucks.
What does your ASIO panel look like? Most of the time it's because there's another program interfering with the driver.
Was so moved by the Pale Blue Dot speech when I heard it for the first time. Haven't gotten around to seeing it, but I'm very confident in Tyson. I hope it'll inspire another generation into becoming scientists themselves.

Each channel has now it's own FX track.
Voilà!
Don't waste your time like i did setting one channel->FX at a time for YEARS! T_T
Was in the same boat with you, man. All that wasted time...
Shift+F4 was one I only discovered a few weeks ago. Brings up the first empty pattern.
So glad Spring Break is coming up. I've been hurting for some free time to work more on this. And some of the tracks already submitted sound really awesome. I'll need to step my game up!
