The thing is, OCR doesn't really accept revisions once songs have been posted. The submission guidelines say "one second audio glitch", but the volume boost affecting the entire song is a much bigger change. I don't think the resubmission will go through on this one. The best thing you can pretty much do in this situation is send the revised version to people who really want it, or just host it somewhere and put the link somewhere in the topic.

I thought Taucer did gymnastics, not juggling.

I've been waiting for this to make its debut on OCR for some time now. My one gripe is that out of both source tunes, djpretzel put this under Final Fantasy 6 (which already has 52 songs to its name) and not Radical Dreamers (which has about 10).

WHOA DUDE I SURE DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN'

Whoa.

You can use Audacity to compress it and even out the volumes. Just load the file and use the Compressor tool (under the Effects menu) with a threshold of -31 dB and a ratio of 3:5:1. The result is a bit more pleasant to listen to, and has no detectable (at least not to me) clipping.

I'm assuming that since Jade Spawn has been sitting in the direct-post queue for some time, it hasn't been altered since its DSoP inception, but if has, I'd like to know. Just to save myself the trouble of downloading it again.

John Torkington? Does someone in your family happen to own a VW Beetle with the license plate "DIVEBUG"?

Poo is played by Steve "D-Lux" King, who I believe hosts the radio show Very Good Music (and I'm really guessing the show he hosts off the top of my head, if I'm wrong, please please please correct me). If you've heard the show before, you know the voice.

I don't think Myth Naz sounds white. I do agree, however, that he doesn't sound black either.

Aaaaaand the secret's out! Although the name was a bit of a giveaway for me. Dunno about the rest of you.

Hawt stuff. I already wrote a review for this over at VGMix, so I'm not really going to bother here. I do wanna ask this, though: Jill, did YOU put Myth up to that Star Trek reference? =)

Having once tried it myself, I know how difficult it can be to dance in snow. That does not, however, affect the danceability of this mix. bLiNd does a really nice job with keeping the music "busy" in the background (as eurobeat tends to be), but I'm glad he didn't pump up the volume and instead kept it at a lower, slightly more mellow but no less energetic. It's full of energy, yet... somehow it preserves the tranquility usually associated with, well, snow.

Brain hemorrhage, I believe.

So far... - I like how the drums at 1:50ish and that harp-sounding instrument at aroung 3:00 pick up the tempo. - There's one particular section running through 4:30 where what I assume are the snare drums have their biggest presence. It's a very unique-sounding snare drum sound; I haven't heard anything like it before.

I can't imagine how djpretzel thought of putting a reference to Nanny of "Muppet Babies" in his write-up. Regardless, this is very nice and crunchy industrial. It's been a while since OCR last got an industrial-esque posting.

Oh man oh man has Myth Naz come a long way in his style and flow since "Phoenix Down? Party Up!" I have this to say for him: Myth Naz was and still is the Shakespeare of rap lyrics... even when his early rapping efforts made him sound like a white boy with bronchitis. I thought that the lyrics for PD? PU! were truly inspired, and these are no less awesome. Speaking of PD? PU!... now that you've honed your rap voice, you gonna redo it again sometime?

Heh. I'm sure Mustin will be happy to hear your show. It was he who did "Happy Birfday DCT" with joe_cam, not Dale North.

Oh, good. I hate to ask, but can I get a waiver on the shipping fee for returning the item? Since the description was wrong and everything...?

Problem. I ordered the last medium baseball-tee shirt, and to my disappointment, it is NOT 100% cotton like ZTNet describes. It's 50% cotton, 50% polyester. Now, knowing that I live in Arizona, which is either raining heavily (a few days of the year, like yesterday) or blistering hot, and I don't want to have to sweat in a polyester shirt when I'm feeling much cooler in a 100% cotton shirt. I'm returning the shirt anyway (don't like the look of the baseball tee), either for good or in exchange for a regular shirt, but before I do that, can anyone tell me if they got a 100% cotton t-shirt or got shanked like I did?

Technically this type of mix wouldn't be accepted any more because of a new policy: But this mix gets to stay because of the grandfather clause, and won't likely be ReMoved in the next lockdown. As for the mix itself... uh, the people on the first few pages got it right. That FF9 ditty that plays is clearly not Steiner's Theme, but a double-time rendition of "Loss of Me\Rose of April or May or November or whatever the hell the month is".

I just talked to a friend of a friend of mine, and he says he'd be willing to host a mirror. I don't know the exact numbers, but I know he's got tons and tons of bandwidth that's hosting not much more than a few webpages and a small forum. So Claado, you can put that down on the list of mirrors for Chrono Symphonic. I'll PM you the details as soon as I get a hold of them.

It was kinda cool to see this review get back to the top of the list, especially seeing as Mythril Nazgul's own rap version of the same theme just got accepted by the judges' panel (congrats!). Nice indicator of how far ReMixes have come in terms of quality over the years. Anyway, it would be unfair of me (and also the wrong place) to compare the two, so as far as a review goes: I think this mix would have a lot of merit if it, for one thing, didn't have so many annoying background noises, some of which sound like a TV was on full volume during the recording session. At first, I wanted to say the mix sounded cluttered, but on a second listening I realized it wasn't a bunch of instruments struggling for dominance, it was just all that background noise getting in the way. Some sharper-sounding synths wouldn't hurt, either.

"Mainstream-ish?" Sounds far, far, far from it. Besides the fact that Fear is an excellent choice for a ReMix, I really admire how well-placed the vocals are within the song. I know some people miss the "muh-muh-muh-mind killer!" part from the original song, but I think the well-timed "What's in the box? .......... PAIN!" works just as well.

First post on an epic track! Will edit in review later.
