Re: Timo Tolkki's Avalon Pt. 3 and tour
Ratings are what dictates the news. And the news are what dictates information. Every damn ad you see during prime time is so that the company doesn't get investigated by the broadcast's journalists. How coincidental! :shock: I was just talking to robocop on FB about this very thing, a few days ago...

Re: Timo Tolkki's Avalon Pt. 3 and tour
I’m in no way an expert on this subject. I just know how some people’s lives have been ruined because of some joke they made 20 years ago, stuff like that. It's really terrible that this happens to people. Imagine a world without jokes, without humor... it's not a world I'd ever take a liking to. F...

Re: Timo Tolkki's Avalon Pt. 3 and tour
I don't think the opposition is broadly against violence or aggression. Marxism is running wild in the west right now and for you to get "cancelled" you have to touch on some "holy" subject such as LGBT, women, or racial minorities (and only specific racial minorities for some reason). In some sens...

Still not 100% sure if Rolf is aware of the whole twink thing from a while back haha That was a while ago. They could have deleted it and banned me if they wanted to. Regardless, I was pointing out how hot Rolf is in a joking manner. OK..some things people don’t like joking about anymore. I tried t...

Re: Timo Tolkki's Avalon Pt. 3 and tour
Do you think modern Stratovarius finds these gestures flattering? My best guess is they are weirded out and uncomfortable about the whole thing. :lol: If this would make them uncomfortable, just wait 'til they see the Stratoforum again. :rotflmao1: It seems all motivated at expediting a reunion.

Thanks for the link. I read through some of the book so far and I was pleasantly surprised with some aspects of it. That expanded version sounds very interesting. I'll take a listen to your mix in a little bit.

Re: Happy birthday Infinite
The graphic seems pretty similar to the original song except for the low end and some peaks; I also analyzed the track for the integrated LUFS (after a little bit of mastering) and the track says -14 LUFS (I targeted at -1dBTP) so normalization is okay, EQ seems quite okay but the overall result is...

I watched the stream and skipped around a bit. About his vocals: his upper register sounds quite good to me, but his lower register sounds like utter shit.

Re: video game music
Here is what games I had as far as I can remember. Super mario land, fall of the footclan, tetris, castelvania: the adventure. I didn't have any of those games growing up. I did hear the soundtrack for Super Mario Land, though. I love that song! It was composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, who actually desi...

Damn. This gives me flashbacks of having a gameboy as a kid. The Final Fantasy cover art does. I'm not even sure if I had the game. Maybe somebody let me play their game? There was also Final Fantasy Legend II and III that used a very similar cover art. If it wasn't Final Fantasy Adventure, it coul...

Re: Happy birthday Infinite
The other problems, for me, are guitar sound and how to get rid of the nasal tone. Usually I try to gently cut mids but the results aren't that good and I always get a fuzzy Lo-Fi sound (like a distorted amp through an intercom) during recording but a good tone while playing live (this time I tried...

I won't be able to provide in-depth analysis of your mix because I need to recalibrate my studio monitors, and I'm too lazy to do that for now. :oops: Something that immediately jumped out at me, besides the difference in key signature, was @ 23 seconds in, that chord is diminished in the original v...

- In his honest opinion Tony Kakko is a good performer but he sucks at lyrics (I don't like Sonata Arctica because of the lyrics so I can partly agree).

We decided not to double track our guitar tracks in order to sound a bit more crisp. My rhythm track is panned to the right :wink: In the beginning we were certain that we would just re-amp all the dry guitar tracks with our own amps and cabs, but our producer's Helix proved to be quite an impressi...

It may be true that 50% of the protein is in the egg yolk, but also the vast majority of calories. If you want the highest protein per calorie density, the egg white is the way to go. You're right. The ratio of protein to caloric content in egg whites is exceptional. Its also really convenient to p...

Re: Timo Tolkki's Avalon Pt. 3 and tour
Is Tolkki retarded? Yes, no doubt. He want a reunion with his ex-bandmates and still he's ready to blame Kotipelto for everything after tons of posts in which he praised his "good old friend", "the best singer in power metal" and tons of photos with him and Kotipelto. Oh, this is the best way to co...
