Gario Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Previous Decision ReMixer Name: Tonalysis Real Name: Jeff Morrow Email: User ID: 31683 Name of game(s): Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution Name of arrangement: Epic Steps Name of original song: Sync Composer: Outphase (Taku "TaQ" Sakakibara and Takayuki "dj Taka" Ishikawa) Link to original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-UxUJ6P8nU Link to remix: Comments: Frequently, fans discover artists through OC Remix. In my case, I discovered OC Remix by first discovering zircon through Pandora. After learning the basics of how to use FL Studio, and taking a few lessons from zircon himself, I decided to try my hand at remixing. I'm a long-time DDR fan, so I decided to pick my favorite DDR tune as my first submission. My goal was to take the track and make it even more epic. Thanks for considering my remix. EDIT: this is (another) resubmission based on previous comments by OC Remix judges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Third time's the charm, baby, which totally is the case here. I can hear the cleaning up that went into this - no more snare being drown out by the more crowded portions. I like the variations you made to the lead instrument, as well - you didn't change the instrument itself, but you artfully play with the parameter envelopes to give it some much needed longevity. Being crowding and lead variety was what I hit it on before and these things were addressed, I think it's good to go now. Nice work, and thanks for sticking with it!

MindWanderer Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 No surprise from me--I liked the previous version well enough to pass it, and there's no question that this version is even stronger. The parts I mentioned that I liked before but that were too quiet to be heard well have all been addressed, and yep, I like them even better now. Overall it's mixed maybe a little bit more quietly than I think was necessary, but it can't simply be made louder without causing the overcrowding in 2:58-3:11 that was an issue before. Very nice work. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks again for hitting this up a third time. I liked what you had going before and this is even better with the issues addressed. Solid work. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm not strongly against this, but I also didn't hear any significant arrangement updates to the lead or the plodding percussion, for example at 1:36. The mixing was improved, and some of the supporting elements were brighter and better mixed, but I thought the writing was what needed tweaks and I didn't hear anything meaningfully tweaked there, especially after listening to this version compared to the previous one. That said, no hate, because all of the arrangement praise I had from this the first time around still stands, and it looks like this'll pass, but I felt this was still needing some further creativity with some of the part-writing.
