  10. The vocals are a weak point in that they're lack power and are exposed in too many places. Because they're mixed both loud (louder than the music itself), and relatively dry, all of the drawbacks in the singing performance stick out more than expected. Some effects to thicken up the sound and mitigate the lack of strength and/or some AutoTune could have helped mask it. No shade on Jorrith, but given other vocal tracks he's produced himself, I'm surprised he let this one go like this. It's a substantial drop, both singing quality and post-production on the vocals. Fiddledo's lyrics are still fun and fitting, and all of the instrumental performances are solid. I would like to hear the instrumental given some more oomph and the vocals given a stronger treatment to give them a richer sound. Sorry to dissent, but there's unrealized potential here on account of the mixing choices. I'm requesting some additional votes on here to either extend the YESs or elaborate on what else needs works before this is posted. NO (resubmit)

  12. Video link? EDIT: I believe I have it. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/626088468 https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03626 or https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01156 (depends how to close to 1:10:00 you meant) Enjoy!

  15. Not gonna go against the NOs point by point, but I think the substance of the arrangement in this genre adaptation was undersold and I also disagreed on the volume being too low to post this as is. It is conservative in terms of the structure and tempo, but enough was done with the instrumentation, subtle original writing additions/ornamentation, and performance differences to stand apart from the original. I don't mind anyone saying this is too conservative -- this could have been more interpretive and I get it -- but I also disagreed when factoring in other arrangement techniques. Count me in! YES
  16. Noticeably cramped in some places in terms of the mixing, which others noted. I wouldn't mind another pass at it, but it's nothing that needs to be revised before posting, IMO. Love the arrangement, which packs a lot of power! YES

  19. Yeaaaaah, I had basically the same timestamping. The track was 3:37-long, so I needed to hear "Song of Storms" or other Zelda themes referenced for more than 108.5 seconds for the game music to dominate the arrangement. I'm certainly open to being shown other connections of course, but didn't recognize any. :04-33.5, 2:49-3:25.5 = 66 seconds or 30.41% overt source usage Reference the source material more than 50% of the duration of the track somehow, and the VGM source material is unmistakably "dominant" in the arrangement, per our Submission Standards. Anything less than that is an automatic NO-go for me no matter how good the composition or musicianship is; the primary focus must be on arranging VGM above all else. Strong performances and the arranged parts were well-handled. Like Rexy mentioned, anything that could incorporate more "Song of Storms" or other Zelda theme references underneath the comping would be nice, something to keep the arrangement grounded in VGM. Awesome stuff, just falls outside of our arrangement standards due to the lack of source usage. Great to hear something new from Olarin along with these great collaborators. Would love to hear a revision of this or any new material you guys have in the works! NO (resubmit)
