So Dave checked this out and brought up a really good point that ended up changing my call. I mentioned before that the woodwind was a notable negative here, but it does end up being a larger negative than the panel felt. The woodwind brought in at :12 was mixed too loudly, and the way it's positioned draws too much attention to the stilted sequencing. The softer use of the pan flute at 1:12 didn't stand out to me until djp pointed it out, but listening again, the way it just sounds more like it was programmed at a fuller volume and then turned down -- rather than played lightly -- did sound too beginner-ish. IMO, the overall dynamics/energy level of the composition were good enough; the piano writing carried it and was in play a lot more than that woodwind, and that's why I originally felt it was good to go. That said, djp's ultimately right on his call. If the sequencing and volume of that part is addressed, I'd sign off on this, but checking it out again, it's not ready for prime time on the front page. NO (resubmit)

Dave actually had this idea back when he made cards for me and himself. He just needs to take a few minutes and tweak the design he made (if he wants to keep that).

Yeah, definitely will ban you myself too, it's annoying. You're a good musician, but I'm dogpiling due to denseness of poster. Read the relevant content BEFORE you post.

Love is not strong enough of a word to describe mah feelin'z for this track. Just a great arrangement that retains the structure of the original, but has a great mesh of chippy sounds and genteel instrumentation. Play it for your baby in their crib, or play it for yo lady stopping over your crib.

I opened mine. Very proud to have it!

Anyone else? Awesome info and advice from Nate, in particular.

According to Markus, upgrading to Winamp 5.666 fixes the issue with Chipamp. http://twitter.com/mhlindstr/status/405337102721617920 Some other stuff was borked after the 5.66 update, so Nullsoft quickly put out a final FINAL final on Monday.

Got an open-ended question from a student, Johnny, looking to get some insight as to how some of the community members broke into the game music industry (or have at least dipped a toe in the water with some pro/paid work). If anyone would like to share their story, and/or distill how they've gone about finding & creating opportunities to break into the VGM industry, that would be great!

If I understand you correctly, we don't accept any original compositions, regardless of whether they're constructed with VGM-based soundfonts or not. We only accept arrangements of video game music.

It's not because of the judges, it's because these types of metal aren't being sent in. That's like saying the judges don't get reggae to explain to why we currently have 0 reggae mixes. They're simply not submitted with any frequency/regularity, so it's a numbers game, not the judges.

Excuse me? http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01317/ http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01871/ http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02526/ People need to 1) stop overthinking, 2) stop claiming the judges don't "get" XYZ genre or production style, and 3) just send stuff.

Andy rocks! That is all. \m/ BIRFDAY!

Just to be clear, Rozovian was not responding to your post, Mak, he was offering a separate show idea.
