EliteFerrex here, with some disappointing news.
About two weeks ago, I had to have some repairs done on my computer (problems with the monitor, and the hard drive not being detected when starting up/coming back from standby, giving me bluescreens and etc.). Everything seemed well; monitor worked great, no problem detecting the new (and larger) hard drive, no problems.
Then, I realized something...
I started playing some of my music (all of which, among many other things, I made sure to transfer over to the new hard drive) and noticed something was wrong. It sounded washed out; it sounded pitiful on the bass side of the spectrum. Frustrated, I tried another song. Then, another. And another after that. Every one sounded horrible. So, I went online and listened to them from Newgrounds; again, the same washed out sound. So, I had one final idea.
I listened to the music on my iPod, and heard the same great sound as before, nothing washed out, everything as it always was. However, as my ears felt relief, my heart dropped. I suddenly thought, "Oh shit, not FL, too..."
Sure enough, FL Studio had the same sound problem. Every project I opened sounded horrible, much to my dismay. To make matters worse, I've been trying to find a solution to the problem for about a week, with absolutely no success.
So, what does this mean for me, and what does it mean for you?
Well, quite simply, it means...
*sigh* It means no new music. I've tried to start numerous new projects in FL hoping for some kind of inspiration, but it's all to no avail. I can't solve the problem with my audio, and I can't stand the way everything sounds with my system as it is. Thus, I won't be making any new music until I find some way around it.
As such, I'm going to upload a few songs that never made it up here, but that I hope will bring one last bit of enjoyment to you all.
It's been a pleasure getting reviews and feedback and wonderful comments from all of you, and I'm sorry to have to break this news to you.
Until the time when, and if, I manage to get back into making music, keep pumping those beats, and don't ever forget all the great music that has come from the video game world. I hope my contributions to the Newgrounds Audio Portal and to the supply of music worldwide has brought you joy, and that their presence here will continue to do so for many years to come.
Your friend and fellow audiophile,
Erich
