Just needed to make the drumwork more varied and creative, and that's done. Trimming things down also helped, but the drums were the main issue. Let's go! YES

Only checking this out while prepping it for posting, but congratulations on producing what sounds like a super-authentic Japanese arrange album piece. Excellent sound to the guitar in particular for setting that tone, IMO, and all of the performances and part-writing were on point. A bit cluttered, but the space was filled up well, and certainly nothing dinging this on any meaningful level. Beautiful work, gentlemen! YES

Way back, there was an FL-based compo with that specific format, i.e. only using what was out of the box. It resulted in one of my personal favorites here, Rellik's Zelda II mix, "Mirror and Transparent".

Quoted for agreement. On a trip and otherwise too busy to reply to this in depth, but the main thing I want to convey to Alex is to breathe and relax and ornate assume that any time someone complains about OCR or how the panel is run that you're somehow shunned, blacklisted, or ready to be banned. We're not touchy like that. Don't assume bad faith and overthink things to the point where you think we have it out for you. On the Facebook thread for this, zyko and The Coop pointed out how the track didn't have much going on dynamically. I haven't heard it, but that's a pretty reasonable and common reason stuff hasn't passed before.

Yep, that snippet matched my start here as well. It's why I kept harping on djp to bring back the alpha nav, and it in the works.

HAPPY PREHALLOWEEN! OC ReMix and Ghetto Lee Lewis present Heretic Sinphony! October 23, 2017 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA... Celebrating Halloween, OC ReMixer Thomas "Ghetto Lee Lewis" Nelson has released the community's latest album, Heretic Sinphony. Heretic Sinphony features six dark electronic tracks arranging Kevin Schilder's music from id Software's 1994 DOS shooter Heretic, and is available for free download at http://ocremix.org/info/Heretic_Sinphony. The album was produced to help promote video game music, was made by fans, for fans, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Raven Software, id software, or ZeniMax Media; the game, characters, images, and original compositions are copyright their respective owners. "What began with a remix of 'The Cathedral' soon turned into a full-blown remix album of Raven Software's Heretic," recalled creator Thomas Nelson. "This game is a classic first-person shooter from the Doom era, with some really good, but overlooked music." Heretic Sinphony is OCR's third album honoring an id Software-published title following 2008's Doom II: Delta-Q-Delta and 2005's Doom: The Dark Side of Phobos. "I composed and produced this album while working a full-time job (sometimes 60+ hours a week), while putting together a recording/production studio at the same time," Nelson explained. "It's been a long two years, but I'm finally glad this album is finally coming together and getting released." Heretic Sinphony also marks the fourth Halloween album release for the OC ReMix community. Last year, OCR released YoshiBlade's arrangement and skit album Candy Corn, 2015 featured the Castlevania-based album trilogy Vampire Variations, and Joshua Morse created the site's first solo artist album with his 2009 Castlevania tribute Sonata of the Damned. About OverClocked ReMix Founded in 1999, OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of video game music as an art form.

Download Heretic Sinphony: http://ocremix.org/info/Heretic_Sinphony Torrent: http://bt.ocremix.org/torrents/Heretic_Sinphony.torrent Heretic Sinphony is a 6-track commissioned album inspired by the music from the 1994 Raven Software classic Heretic. It was commissioned by Emmanuel EXE, with original artwork by Tedd Leger of Mehxôhorr Artworks. This project started out with an e-mail I received about two years ago. What began with a remix of "The Cathedral" soon turned into a full-blown remix album of Raven Software's Heretic. This game is a classic first-person shooter from the Doom era, with some really good, but overlooked music. I composed and produced this album while working a full-time job (sometimes 60+ hours a week), while putting together a recording/production studio at the same time. It's been a long two years, but I'm finally glad this album is finally coming together and getting released. EastWest samples (HW Orchestra, Stormdrum, Ministry of Rock) were heavily used throughout this project, and also some 8Dio libraries (Requiem and Studio Sopranos). For the synths, I mosty used Native Instruments Massive and FM8, along with a few sounds from Sylenth1. FL Studio is the same DAW I have used for the last 15 or so years, and I still use to this day. It has great VST and sample library support and provides a super-easy-to-use interface for both arranging and automation. - Thomas Nelson (Ghetto Lee Lewis)

IMO, you shouldn't make any exception to how you would vote, and I don't think revisiting a vote is an implication that that has to happen, only elaborating your POV. In any event, like any conditional YES, if the artist is not willing to revise it -- and that what it sounds like based on their emails -- a conditional YES becomes a NO.

So one of the artists emailed us because they were pissed off at the rejection and they threatened legal action if the artist information wasn't removed. That's pretty diva-ish and a beyond-the-pale response, but I did want to check out the track in question. Whether an artist is polite or angry, any time an artist is outspoken against a rejection, we're willing to revisit it. That's especially if another judge agrees that a mistake was made. djp also would have YES'ed this, and although his bar is lower than the panel's, I wanted to also listen to it to see if I agreed based on his reaction. IMO, the judges were wrong, so I'm disputing this decision and casting a YES vote. I'm also asking for a majority vote of 5 votes either way to close this out. The violin placement should be more upfront, but it's still audible and isn't a dealbreaker, so I disagreed with the NOs. Melodically, the arrangement's pretty straightforward, but the expansive rock instrumentation fit like a glove, and I'm pleasantly surprised how well the e-violin worked with the rest of the instruments. Loved the e-violin soloing as well from 1:53-2:38. The final section afterward could have done something else to differentiate itself more from the first iteration of the chorus, but when the overall expansion and performance are this strong, it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I had no issue with the ending at all also. The other Js are welcome to their opinions, and adjusting the violin placement would be a nice-to-have touch-up, but on the seesaw of what works with this arrangement vs. what doesn't, it's easily tipped in favor of this track. The other Js should reassess this track, but I think they made a mistake NOing it. YES

The mixing's too bright for my tastes, but the part-writing was clear and it was easy to appreciate the intricate web of sounds going on. The sine wave in particular lended a nice tone to things. Strong, effective crossover and interplay between the various sources throughout the entire piece. I had to laugh to myself at Greg's initial lack of confidence, but that just illustrates how artists should just take the plunge and submit something they're not sure about. Don't be scared, people! YES
