The panning's way too wide here. Perhaps on monitors/speakers it's no big deal, but it sounds awful on headphones, too many elements predominantly on one side or the other, which isn't a natural way to listen to music, and the overall sound feels substantially lossy and dull, which is a dealbreaker. The sound design's meaningfully improved, though I'd argue the core beats (1-2-1-2) still plod from the start despite more interesting stuff going on around them and some more variations; it could partially be a sound design thing. Writing-wise, finally some more interesting stuff going on with the dropoff around 1:21 and using that a rebuild into picking the beats back up at 2:01. Good job trying out different textures and sound design for the verse at 2:03; these ideas may have been introduced in some earlier revision, I'm not sure (there've been quite few), but the main point is that over time you've picked up on a lot more ways to vary up the presentation and keep these same verses & choruses fresh, which definitely wasn't happening in earlier versions. IMO, the beats still drag, so I'd love some musician Js thoughts on why they're still underwhelming and any creative suggestions on giving them more of a spark without needing an overhaul. Good progression though in terms of creativity and quality, it's moving well in the right direction, Eric. :-) NO (resubmit) EDIT (11/8): Saw the revised version in the submission thread comments. Definitely an improvement where the panning issues are done away with. Still need to get the plodding beats worked out a bit more, and the overall mixing cleaned up. Much better section at 2:03 with the newly-added belltone ornamentation. I'm still not there yet, but tt's definitely coming along gradually.

You either have the string "s e l e c t" or "c o n v e r t" somewhere in your copy. Find it and remove it, and I believe that should solve your problem.

Would need a unique title if approved -LT Artist Name: Seveneyes I'm a big fighting game fan, so a lot of my musical choices are based on them. This theme from TEKKEN 2 has always been a favorite!! I joined the server in late August because it's a goal of mine to compose music for games. The sages have definitely helped me a lot and everyone has been very welcoming. I've sat in on the Office Hours sessions where they will review tracks and thats become one of my favorite times of the week. I was inspired to at least TRY a remix, since that's what this collection of producers is all about. I'm grateful to contribute in any way I can. Thanks for all the hard work guys!! Games & Sources Hello! Here is my first remix submission. The source track is from Tekken 2, and here is a link to the original work -

What a ride! Fun (read: miserable & nihilistic, just the way I like it) lyrics that take me back to being depressed as a college student. :-D The only thing I'd say could have been tweaked was not having the source melody on guitar so quiet relative to the lead vocals during the verses, because the source melody felt too obscured. Aside from that, this was extremely creative; love the transformation and expansion of the theme via the lyrics. minusworld's got a mainstream songwriting career in the hopper if he wants it bad enough. :-) YES

Sorry, I could have sworn I'd already voted on this, since I paneled it, my bad. The thunderstorm really picked up at 1:34, get your umbrellas out! Lovely soloing at 1:49 over the top of the theme's base progression. Great instrumentation, lots of subtle expansionist writing, as well as melodic ornamentation for quite a lovely personalization of the theme. Greg's performances crushed it, and Rebecca crafted what sounds like a genuine treasure. YES

"Each of them was very excited about the project and it shows in their ReMixes. I have no words to describe just how impressed I have been with the music on this album, so I will let it speak for itself."

He was well into writing his book, The Impact of Iwata, about the life and contributions of Satoru Iwata to Nintendo and the video games industry as a whole. He had brought on several very talented artists to create illustrations for each chapter of the book. However, he also had plans for an audio book version and suggested that we create an album of ReMixes to serve the same role in the audio book as the illustrations in the print book. In addition to releasing the album for free on OCR, it would be included, in whole, with the audio book, and clips of each track would be used between chapters. I loved the idea. We pitched it to OCR staff and they were as enthusiastic about it as we were. So, we got started. I put up a forum post to recruit, and to my surprise, all 16 tracks were claimed in less than a day! Our lineup of ReMixers is a who's who of great talent on OCR from established veterans to incredible newcomers. Each of them was very excited about the project and it shows in their ReMixes. I have no words to describe just how impressed I have been with the music on this album, so I will let it speak for itself. Suffice it to say, everyone brought their A-game to this project, and it is not only a worthy companion to Lucas's excellent book, but also a fantastic and fitting tribute to Satoru Iwata himself and the role he played in our lives. We hope you enjoy the products of this unique partnership between OverClocked ReMix and Nintendo Force as we all celebrate the Impact of Iwata! - TSori

Nice and chill; I dig the mood this sets and shieldeater's ability to vamp and expand upon the source tune with original writing ideas, with the source tune at the foundation of the piece. Also enjoy how things really ramped up post-2:22. shieldeater on the marquee is guaranteed good! YES

I'll keep it brief. Some of the string samples strained for realism at times, but the tools were used well here overall. Loved the textural changes throughout. Nice time sig change as well, and you certainly succeeded in giving this a much more cinematic flavor. Nice work, com_poser! YES
