i supposed i missed the last round by a misunderstanding, so i only have 2 done and im more proud of the first one (Arsonist) than the jumpstyle one i did. All you guys are mega talented and I really enjoyed listening to everything so thanks for the good times <3

I feel bad I missed the last round (lost track of the comp and had a lot going on that week), but I'm so glad I got the opportunity to jam with you guys! And HEAR ALL THIS GREAT MUSIC THAT CAME OUT OF IT.

That's hard to believe, since I saw your initial Maverick selection: 1) Crystal Snail 2) Crystal Snail 3) Crystal Snail 4) Crystal Snail 5) Crystal Snail In my case, I never played any MMX game (nor Megaman for that matter), so I didn't have any real connection with these Mavericks. I started out with Gravity Beetle as 'okay, I can work with this' and that hasn't changed that much I guess, since I still find the first half of the track a bit weird and still like the second part Anyway, good stuff, looking forward to the tracks for the final round!

I walked out of this compo liking Crystal Snail more than when I entered this compo. I love that proggy groove so much.

I would direct you to this topic, in which I asked much the same question: http://ocremix.org/community/topic/41403-looking-for-orchestral-samples/ Spitfire Audio's Albion I is on a closeout sale for £149, but only until October 1st(so it's just about to vanish forever). It's mostly premade ensembles, but it has a natural reverb. No dry samples. I've found that Kontakt 5's included library has some pretty nice orchestra sounds, some of which are older Vienna Symphonic Library sounds. Kontakt 5 clocks in at about $400 though, or $250 if you have a qualifying product registered to your Native Instruments account(there are a few free ones that qualify). It also opens you up to a world of affordable, quality libraries. But I wouldn't say you need real orchestra sounds. You're getting an awesome sound out of what you have right now, so unless your goal is to emulate a real orchestra I wouldn't stress over it too much.

Cool beans. I just wound up getting another paying gig with a deadline as tight as noose, plus this gives me an opportunity to do more with my track.

"Metroid Prime" coming to a theater near you, Summer 2016.

Ok.. listening from work (shh!) on some shitty earbuds.. Sounds good! I don't have much to add, just a minor remark. The organ solo is distracting me a bit. The solo itself is great, however there is some panning going on (or a really slow Leslie?) that sounds strange to me. I think this is not that noticeable on nice speakers.. but I've got shitty™ earbuds Maybe I'm nitpicking a bit.. Good luck!

Very nice work! I'll co-sign what Kat said. As for submitting to OCR, looping is likely a no-go. Sounds like it loops around 2:00. Writing an ending sounds like a good idea. Two minutes is on the short side, but with an ending I feel the piece would probably feel like a complete whole. I'm no judge, but I would say you have plenty or reinterpretation already otherwise, with the rhythms & feel of the parts et cetera. Also, the production approach may make it more difficult to meet the OCR bar for production, but then again there's stuff like a posted mix made with Korg DS-10 if I recall correctly, so I don't think it's impossible. So I'd say arrange an ending & ask for a mod review Nice work in any case!
