The artists were specifically asked to pick someone of theirs as well ("reflecting on some favorite songs from the site’s history and their own artistic growth"), so we did 1 personal pick and then 2 picks of others' work. And then me with 4, since I don't muzik, and to make it 25 picks!

Deia and djp were both seemingly in favor of this mix when we talking in #j, so we'll leave this open for some additional votes.

There were some minor areas where the lack of realism in the articulations was heard, but it wasn't anything that would make me hold this back on production grounds. The left-hand stuff for the first 1:12 was pretty simplistic, and the melodic treatment was very straightforward. Cool original stuff from 1:22-1:47, then back to the source tune briefly in a higher octave for less than 20 seconds before the close. It's a cool cover in a vacuum, but I agreed with the others that for its short length, it was too straightforward of an piano arrangement and needs more development and interpretation for the standards here. Still a cool piece, short and sweet, just something that falls outside of our guidelines for being a short, straightforward cover. If you're not interested in revisiting this one to flesh it out further, no worries, Joe, you'll handle it with the next submission. NO (resubmit)

Nice take on this. Mastering doesn't need to be touched, IMO. Some of the louder parts got a bit buzzy, but the overall sound and levels were fine. YES

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (Thanks, Shariq.) http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48504 I closed this thread. We're not doing star ratings on the mixes. It's not a popularity contest, and when you do star ratings, the mixes from popular games are the ones that float to the top, so the ratings don't mean anything. http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1hkxo1/we_are_overclocked_remix_creating_free_game/#cavbqqm Closing this thread too. EDIT: As a joke, we probably SHOULD create a Top 100 page, but then just randomly populate it and have it change to a new random 100 every day. Not a bad idea!

Awesome! Care to... elaborate? (Probably those judges.)

I wasn't counting most of the soloing over chords as any source usage, because the chords were oversimplifications of the source rather than taken directly from it, as far as I could tell, so I gave the track less credit than the breakdown. I could be missing something more obvious, but it didn't matter in the end, since my first pass at a breakdown came up with enough overt source usage to have the VGM dominant in the arrangement. The track was 5:34 long, so I needed at least 167 seconds of VGM used during the arrangement for the VGM to be dominant: :12.25-:14.5, :18-:19.5, :48.5-:50, :55.5-1:41.5, 2:08.5-2:27, 2:43.5-2:53.5, 2:55-3:02.75, 3:06.75-3:32.75, 4:05-4:37, 4:39.75-5:01.75, 5:18.75-5:20.25 = 169 seconds or 50.59% overt source usage Getting that out for the way, I also liked the cheesy energy here, and this was indeed a lot of fun! Just had to sanity check the source usage, but otherwise and easy call and a fun take on some obscure Super Famicom hotness. Nice work, guys! YES

For me, everything else BUT the beats was excellent, the arrangement of the source itself is awesome, and I love the chippy focus. The backing patterns for the EDM-style sections at 1:14 and again at 2:13 are very bland/vanilla. The beats are super-basic claps with plodding, metronome-style patterns, leaving the background feeling very empty. Not that the beats need to be crazy and hyper, but the writing of those backing patterns is mega-plain, and frankly, boring, which is dragging an otherwise awesomely arranged piece down, IMO.
