If we switch forums (not for a long while), we may allow customs ones. So you're limited to what's there. But there are 1000+ avatars, so hopefully something will stand out that you'd like.

He'll definitely be missed by me. :'-(

I could get on board with that. I'm not feeling I need to change my vote over it, and could live with it as is, but whether this makes it or not in this current version, I'd agree the pulling back on some of the grating loudness would help, so I can pass that onto Brent.

We are LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

I'm slightly less lazy.

djp is super busy/lazy/diaper-changing. It's one or the other...or the other. Definitely passed this one along way back.

Dunno why your Firefox is messed up (maybe someone else could offer some insight), but if IE is working for now, post your thread wherever, and we can move it to the correct area.

Yeah, that happens every once in a while. Whenever djp gets to updating the torrents, he'll likely refresh those MD5s in one big update.

Put your gun back in the holster, judgen00b. They're saying "I subbed a mix that was on a project, but the album version was improved after I submitted. Can you make sure not to use the old version?" Yes, we can do that. Second tomato.

We'll be using the album versions for those, no worries.

They were both voice-acted, not samples. Joker in particular was pretty sweet, Jamaal; really nice work. I'm also a NO for the reasons of overall repetition, but definitely wanna hear this sent in again with some tweaks to provide further variation, dynamics, and development.

Nice birthday, old man!

http://ocremix.org/info/Press I need help maintaining our collection of press clips, as there's tons of great interviews, album plugs and that kind of stuff that's not cataloged on the site. This is now the NEW forum home to collect this info, so that I can eventually document everything and add it to the site's Press pages. BTW, if it's negative, it's fine; we don't care. We may move it to Site Help later, but for now, if you have info about news coverage focused on (or briefly mentioning) OC ReMix, I'm looking for the following info: Interviews of OC ReMix staff published by anyone are OK Online news coverage Print publications YouTube reviews or interview mentions of OCR by e-celebs Blog mentions by e-celebs Anything else I haven't thought of Just links are fine. If it's a print publication, scans would be really awesome. If it's audio, timestamps on when discussion of OC ReMix starts and ends would be great. Interviews of OC ReMix staff published by any fan or outlet are OK to post, because they're direct conversations with the artists. However, I'm gonna end up sounding like a douche, but any reviews or mentions on someone's small personal blog will not be added to the list. Just letting you know in advance, if the blog itself isn't a direct interview and doesn't have a following, there needs to be a loose cutoff somewhere, and that's where it is. It needs to be notable. Thank you in advance to everyone who helps out, I really appreciate the help!

:00-:46 - "Zelda's Lullaby" (ALttP) :58-1:15 - "Song of Healing" (MM) 1:23.5-2:12 - "Midna's Lament" (TP) 2:09.5-2:46.75 - "The Legendary Hero" (WW) 2:52.25-3:34 - "Fi's Lament" (SS) On the first listen, this plodded a bit for me dynamically, since the tempo and energy stayed pretty samey throughout, but I enjoyed the subtlety here. The piano sound was also too thin, but overall it was mixed in a way to at least give things some decent body. I heard a super light pop at 2:49, but otherwise I'm on board. This was a smooth weaving of the themes and things floated from one source to the next without sounding jumpy. This ain't everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of people like chamomile. Relax. YES

The bassline providing the source connection was a bit buried under the other instrumentation, but the overall sound was pretty sweet. Definitely some imbalance among the parts there, not that it was a huge deal. The faux geetar at :52 definitely wasn't getting the job done with the super fakey exposed sound. Well, this is my interpretation of the standards, but the arrangement criteria says "The source material must be identifiable and dominant." The bassline definitely is from Blanka's theme, and that's easily identifiable and present for most of the track, but it's never a dominant aspect of the track. You get some simplification of the Blanka melody on the strings from :07-:21, but it's just a cameo and mixed in a way that actually de-emphasizes it; it needs to be more prominent. Same with the piano alluding to the theme here and there between :37-:44. At least :44-:51's usage of the theme was pretty clear. 1:29-2:36/end is a pure cut-and-paste of :06-1:13. That minute WAS actually really creative and interpretive, enough that it didn't bother me as much as copy-pastas normally do. Nonetheless, it was still weak to do that at the expense of further developing the arrangement. In any case, this is a great base, but you need some more overt & upfront melodic usage or something that makes the Blanka theme more front and center for much more of the mix. As long as you do that and actually develop some other ideas beyond 1:29, you'd have a shot. These days loops of otherwise awesome arrangement ideas don't get it done alone. Cool stuff so far, Aaron, but go for the gold, don't coast. NO (resubmit)

The strings definitely were thin, though serviceable, but those attacks always seem too sharp and stabby. The piano also sounds super-duper plucky. The source is similar in the way its leads sound, but those instruments have much softer tones in the original, if that makes sense. The drumkit was serviceable, but another J may want to comment on ways to improve that as well. Damon really still needs to step up his sound quality, either with upgraded samples or better effects to give his current strings and piano a richer, more realistic tone. That said, this clicks overall. It's not like this piece was close to being rejected, but Damon's limited in what he can do with these sounds. Anyway, despite those issues, the texture gelled more around 1:01 and didn't look back, with just enough resonance from added parts to glue the sounds together and not terribly expose the samples, all without creating a lot of clutter. I wouldn't have cut the sleigh bells at 3:01, but that was super minor. Damon did a nice job adding depth to the composition and retaining some of that wintry feel while adding his own distinct energy to it. Didn't have much to say on that level other than it was solid! YES
