Awesome! Tom Cruise Crazy is another one of his better songs!

So..... (pin)Ballz today, maybe? Eh, eh?

Yep, just waiting for the store update.

Haven't heard back from JoCo yet, but its been sounding like he's pretty busy right now

Just played the song by Imsomniac Games (huge fan of their games), and to be frank, the audio quality is absolutely terrible. It sounds like a really bad mp3 and is pretty much exactly as muffled as Semi-Charmed Life (which got butchered by WaveGroup). Also, I played bass and despite of having turned on bass boost, the bass part was almost inaudible, and in the beginning of the Big Rock Ending appears a yellow note.

To be honest, a terrible release through & through. Please don't butcher JoCo songs like that :S

[TubaDude49]

Huh, I hadn't heard any complaints about the mix since the first couple of builds and everything had sounded good to me before, I don't have a means of seeing it right now, but I will definitely look into it. I sincerly apologize if the mixing was not to your liking and I will try to improve as I continue work. I was really learning as I went while making this song, and I did not have access to an XBox very often. I hope you enjoy the song despite its flaws, and I am very sorry. In my defense, a few of the stems not used in the original version of the song had some pretty heavy distortion

[Pankrazzo]

Please don't apologize for this, I don't expect pristine professional audio quality from such a small novelty band, it's a fun song, the charting is fine, but I hope you made the best product out of the stems. Looking forward to your response when you were able to review it yourself. **** happens

For reference: I played the song through a high-end 2.0 system along with other new releases.

I also have to complain about the quality. Though, that may not be Tuba's fault.

Now, what's REALLY bothering me is the guitar chart. In all honesty, it's really REALLY unpolished. This color should obviously be that color, a good handful of uncharted slides/bends/ho's/po's, etc.

Very disappointed in this whole thing. Such an awesome song too.

EDIT: I see it was charted by Insomniac themselves. At least they're good at making games. Sheesh.

EDIT2: Is there hope for a re-release? I doubt it, but... it's just that bad.

[TubaDude49]

Insomniac didn't do it, I did, and once again I am very sorry.
I believe that when I first started the project I may have accidentally glued the Left and Right channels together instead of rendering them, essentially making Mono audio files as opposed to stereo, which accounts for the poor quality. I have not been able to see the finished product as of yet, and I am getting pretty nervous to see how bad the damage was.

[TubaDude49]

Hey, I don't currently have access to an Xbox. Could someone please record a video of the song so I can hear how bad the mix turned out?

[SeymourDuncan17]

I would make one, but my Dazzle is such a hassle to work with.

Also, again, is there hope for a re-release? I think it calls for it. I'm sure it's not just me thinking the guitar chart is horrible.

This is almost like when Fat Kid was released. Such an awesome song, but like every single chart was WAAAAAAY off.

[TubaDude49]

I don't think a re-release is in the cards unfortunately. I promise to maintain a higher standard as I progress and sincerly apologize for any issues you may have with the song.

[DavyinaToga]

Insomniac didn't do it, I did, and once again I am very sorry.

Don't apologize, point at the testers and say it's their fault for not complaining about these things when something could have been done about it! :P
