Hi Pipko! This one's ready to sub. Worst the panel can do is give you some targets to focus on for a resubmission. :)

A sort of post-rock or doom metal-ish take on "Another World of Beasts" from FFVI. Slow, introspective, sludgy, heavy, and moody. What do you think - is this ready to submit? Or does it need more work? Original source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XLQQrN0VCw

whew. i've been working on this for a while. much harder than the sonic mix from last month. i had to pick something for my 2nd remix attempt that's somewhat beyond my current skill level. not that i HAD to but i did. maybe i work that way. i can't remember. ;) where i'm doing music rn, there's this nasty resonance in the room and furniture and stuff whenever i play a low C. mix sounds pretty good to me on headphones, but i can't trust the speakers too much. so tell me about the sound if you can. i'm inexperienced with the harder rock mixing stuff, still. but pretty damn psyched where this could go!! this might be my fav tune from any sonic game, period! and i've found it notoriously hard to arrange well (tried several times over the last 20 years!) give the OG a listen; to me it's one of the best 8bit tunes out there. listen to the transposition +3 semitones at 0:38; i love that part. it works so effort- and seamlessly in 8bit, but i found it really hard to do well in an arrangement. because i couldn't get it right, i used the stage intro jingle that sonic 2 has to segueway into it, at 2:10 in my remix (same thing the mix intros with. probly gonna change the intro.) anyway....i think i'm halfway there roundabouts... might be a lotta work still or very little, can't say. also depends on how crazy the finale is gonna be. the stuff 2:10 onwards basically feels more like finale already, so maybe i will re-use it later on and go a little lower energy before. as i said, beyond my current level, so i'm trial&error-patchworking a lot. tell me what you think. too disjointed?? <3 nase!! (i am psyched ;D)

MkVaff just casually retaining his GOAT status.

Absolutely loving the detuned lead synth on this mix. Simultaneously upbeat and gritty at the same time. What a fun interpretation!

The Sages have been killing it with their Wednesday night Office Hours sessions on Discord! If you're needing musical feedback and growth advice, y'all gotta be in there. :-)

This was awesome! Very reflective and kind of somber, but also very cool. There is a LOT to enjoy in this remix and the production is CRISPY. Those strings and piano and the synth leads were killin it out there! I got a little bit of a Pink Floyd vibe at parts. Excellent remix!

I really enjoyed the vibe of this. It was well made and was the perfect vibes for me on an early Wednesday morning. I really dug the bass in this, so groovy and funky! The percussion was also very mucn on point, nice and varied and interesting. I don't even know anything about the source, this is just a really cool remix!

The backup vocals that come in around the minute mark sound really great! Echoing what was said in the writeup, the accompaniment was going ham! I enjoyed the lyrics for this. Great job on this!

"Eating burgers while I wrestle bears" is a magnificent lyric. This was a lot of fun and a cool way to work with the iconic street fighter character themes. Great job on this!

That was such a good buildup/drop at 2:42, easily my favorite part of this remix, it was so GOOD. This remix was an absolute foot tapper, a bop and a half. Great job on this!

This remix definitely encapsulates the feeling of flight well. The reverb of the snares gets sent into the stratosphere in a wonderous drift. The synthwave aesthetic just fits so well with any sort of traveling theme! This remix was rock solid. Excellent job!

I enjoy those SMW-esque synths coming in around 30 seconds. I may not have ever played of or even heard of Quarth, but this remix somehow has an incredibly nostalgic feeling to it, as if somewhere in the far back, my brain is thinking: "You've totally played Quarth before, you've ALWAYS known about Quarth and here are some chips and musical dip to remind you." This is not some low quality dollar store potato product, this is some high quality chip! Also, that ending was great.

Like many here, I owe so much to this compo. T'was a tremendous proving ground to help develop musicianship and meet amazing artists, but also a beacon of hope encouraging me to come back to music times and again in spite of hardships. If you feel like keeping the flame alive once a year, that would be awesome and mighty kind of you. I'll most definitely partake.

Very difficult question. I will not answer with Bundeslang. So many different styles and genres. Favorite is also a very hard term, I fill this in as personal like the most (and genre helps with this). Still (to mention one name) I go for one of the names in the beginning of the contest: Sir Nuts. Perhaps we can do a contest/round one day (maybe a yearly free round or something like that), who knows...

This was definitaly an eccentric mix. The blending of multiple styles really made for a unique soundscape. 2:37 gave me punch out vibes, lol. This was very solid, excellent remix!

This remix didn't have to go as hard as it did, but it did. The epic choir and orchestral instruments really sealed the deal for me, especially starting around the 2:30 - 3:00 mark. The soft interlude with the piano and strings was a welcome change of pace and absolutely lovely. Overall this remix told a grand tale, it wove a tapestry of musical awesomeness that gave a powerful and cinematic performance. Bravo!

Peaceful, pleasant and relaxing. I don't have anything super fancy to say about this remix, it's just really good. That acoustic guitar was smooth as butter! Great job on this remix!

The arrangement is very good in this remix! The playing around with the different themes was expertly done. I really enjoyed the lead synths in this remix, they were very SPICY. Great remix overall! :)

This remix has a vaguely unsettling nature to it, but also is a total bop! I enjoyed the chippy leads and the pulsing beat that undercoats the remix. Overall this was a very solid remix! Great job!

Incredibly strong intro, got me hooked onto the remix right away. The production was very solid on this and the arrangement was even better. I definitely want to give a shoutout to the bass in this song for rocking as hard as it did. The call and response, the various breakdowns and varied dynamics made this a very interesting remix. Excellent job on this remix!
