I really want to rubberstamp this so you can get your feedback and move-on, because both Liontamer and prophetik nailed it already. Alex, you have great production chops and it'll only be a matter of time before you figure it all out and get something passed. It's been nice to see you join the community and be involved in the workshop as well as helping out others  As far as this Tekken track goes, unfortunately there's not enough source usage to consider this identifiable and dominant. At times the beat does feel inspired by the beat from the source, but that alone does not really hold strength when there are other elements that are not used or are recognizable. Right now, this is more of an original piece of music...though, it's an awesome original piece. Extremely well produced and awesome to listen to. You absolutely used every single piece of headroom this had available and keeps the limiter busy and this is impressively loud. One thing that I really liked and wanted to point out was the transition at 1:53, great use of triplet gating. That sudden use of off-time rhythm really is effective when everything was so straight previously. To summarize, great production chops but I can't pass this because there's not enough source material to get by. NO

Oh hey I'm in there.

I could vibe out to this and just have it on in the background and tune-out and chill. That's rad. The production is also solid. The guitar and mandolin both sound good! Unfortunately, I'm not feeling that the source is very identifiable or dominantly featured. It just doesn't seem to be coming through and I'm not picking up on where it's at. The other issue is the drums are on auto-pilot most of the way through. Give us some variation to them aside from just dropping parts in and out. Variation goes a long way to keeping a track progressing and moving forward without changing the other parts around them. 3:05 with the recapitulation would be a good time to change them up in particular as this is a time you want to bring more energy for a final repeat! There's potential here, but I would need to hear more identifiable usage of the source as well as some work on the variation in the drums in to consider a pass. NO

Hello OCRemix, I want to continue working on this possible OCRemix song, but I want to know if this remix is not literal enough or if some other concern is present... besides mastering, the composition, and "all that jazz" is not complete here.  I would like to create a remix that is going to pass where being too artistic is not a concern.  I think the general framework would pass as it stands now, but obviously the song is not complete.  Incomplete song here is about 3mins in length, looking to make it 5 or 6mins total.  The bass line repeats quite a bit here and is a focus of my possible remix for OCRemix.org.  Drums are essentially missing for now. -- dolphin92329
