Hah, well... it's all necessary as far as I'm concerned :P

I set out to make an "epic" mix after listening to entirely too many BT mixes that were 10+ minutes. I think I did a good job without going overboard on it.

There's definitely just a bit of mixing work, for sure... but come on. That's no fun.

You got the time, spend it wisely. That means ignore it entirely, procrastinate on it and give it some nice touches at the last possible second.

Hahaha! Too true!

Ohhhh, I am well on my way. What? Do I hear the plinking of facebook chat?

k bye.

edit: Hah, and I forgot to mention that I threw in a few measures of the theme from Tower of Heaven, Gario. Thought you'd like that :P you introduced me to that fantastic soundtrack quite a while ago.

+1 vote.

Nah, j/k, but I'll be listening for it. The soundtrack is pretty freakin' sweet.

Um, yes. Everything that dude makes is golden AND chippy. That's like gold plated gold. Shit doesn't even make sense.

And Willrock is remixing this week, no? I will outsolo you, Willrock. MARK MY WORDS. ... or I'll come close at least. MARK MY LESS THREATENING WORDS.

After listening this round, I gotta say that my first-place vote was a bit of a toss-up between Nutritious and Amphibious. Ended up going for Nutritious's song on the strength of more sonic variation (plus WillRock is t3h 50l0 m45t3r), but both were incredibly enjoyable.

That's the point, Plant Man is a delicate Robot Master all the way down to being a shield user. So it's best that this organic/industrial clash is handled that way.
But you know, with the way this is going in regards to the mix-and-match source usage nitpicking, next time I'll see if I can make you ALL happy with Plant's usage and make 80% of it a straight cover with just 20% vague references to the Wily theme. How does that sound :|

Sounds like you're taking this shit too seriously :D Stop worrying about pleasing everyone and just try to improve yourself; if you've made a piece you're happy with, no one can take that away from you

People obviously didn't like my chord progression choices and use of chordal tension and such, and I was a little butt-hurt at first, but you know what? I like my mix, and I enjoy listening to it, and I'm learning a lot and developing my style more (which is a process that I don't expect to EVER stop, and I want to be a composer after college). I don't really care if people don't vote for my mix anymore, because I gave it my all, and I personally am happy with the results. You don't like dissonance? Fine, but I'm going to keep writing complex chordal structures. You want rock and lots of solos? Fine, I'm probably not going to switch to that style just to please people. People are focusing too much on the critiques that upset them, when really, it's nothing personal. And if there's something in the critique that you see will help you improve, take it, instead of taking offense.

Yeeeee, that about sums up my feelins; it's hard to heart-to-heart!

Keep practicing them growls Rexy

You'll need them for my death metal entry next, on which you will be doing all vocals
