  1. We all have our musical preferences (and exceptions) when it comes to setup and quality, but all in all, the judges know skillful music when they hear it. They have knowledge as well as natural inclination; they know "good" when they hear it. Also, no one's getting any profits off of what's being heard so it's definitely more about the music. I don't think that bias is bad in every sense. In fact it can be good. Are we speaking of quality or genre? The judges seem to listen a song itself: the idea (a creative idea), the "hype" of a familiar mix (everyone likes to hear a redo of a song they really love), vibe (the mood and setting of a song; what it's good for), arrangement (chorus, break, verse, abstract, etc), composition (chords, melodies, harmonies, countermelodies, arpeggios, velocity, accent, reciprocity, etc), and whatever else you could name. As long as the judges are familiar with almost or all kinds of music, I'm cool. I don't care if it's engineered, acoustic or both, good is good and garbage is garbage.
  2. Did that the same moment you warned me (to The Joker). Can't afford for anyone to steal it.
  3. I'll keep that in mind. I have been thinking about doing electronica although my history has been hip hop/rnb/Latin/jazz, but heck, I need to expand!
  4. I know that I'm not your preferred artist but it looks like a hot idea. In fact, I planned on doing something different, but I better focus on my WIP for another project first.
  5. This site's music is extremely kickass. In fact, when a couple of my remixes were rejected, I learned to raise my own bar and make music to the maximum. I won't lie, I was annoyed when my mixes didn't get in, but when I listened to the newest mixes and saw what was wrong with mine, it became obvious that OCRemix has a name to make for itself, and that mainstream doesn't regard quality the way this community does. Although a lot of the older tracks are kept as a momento rather than a "standard of quality", it serves the purpose of showing how OCRemix has grown as a community. It's all about the music, and for me, it'll always be that way. really, OCRemix changed my life. Sounds funny, but I am serious. I am so glad that I developed my musical knowledge in a way I mean, c'mon. play that Zircon song someone posted, then play what I just posted.Lord God, no.

  8. Just listened to one of your remixes. Excellent.

  9. (This was once a post of a sample of music that wasn't a WIP but now it remains as a post box for the sake of the sequence of this thread).
  10. One of my favorite mixes, way before I joined OCR. Absolutely brilliant, man. The thing that made me laugh most was the fact that the theme was deemed so terribly (IMO?) that there was no good way to remix it. We went from opera to hip hop in one piece and it all made sense. I still can't get over the RnB phone call + Master P's "ugh".
  11. Offense to the fact that "Jesus Christ" was in the title of the song? OK. I mean, it's better than the F-Bomb. C'mon, it's not like we're "using his name in vain" or "forcing beliefs". Besides, what would you say if a dinosaur did show up and you had a working time machine? ... "JESUS CHRIST IT'S A DINOSAUR GET IN THE EPOCH!" Lemme hear the song again. Edit: heaven... Edit 2: the people who said that notes would take away from this mix were right; more stuff = less emphasis on drums. Drums can be very suffiecient by themselves when done right. Unfortunately, as of now, hip hop doesn't make a good example of this theory.
  12. Man, I've been looking for good music like this for quite a while. Seriously, after hearing the original "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" from Michael Jackson and hearing the edited, I decided that it was time to use instruments and resort to sequencers to do only what nature can't. Soundfont those things, man. That's so cool. Really, that's what I call music.
  13. Hell yeah. I also want to claim MetaKnight before anyone else.
  14. Yeah, I listened to it again and heard four patterns of six instead of 2 patterns of six. Although 3 and 6 are rational to one another, throughout the song the breaks are shortened to three while the verses are expanded to six, similar to how some some 4/4 songs have 2/4 breaks. Yeah, I broke that down.
  15. Although I've heard this song many times, I don't know what the rhythm is. I have never heard a song with this kind of pattern, which is part of why I love it so much. I can count in threes and sixes while keeping the time. The patterns seem to be 2 sets of 6; the notable change goes: (first) 1-2-3-4-5-6 (second) 1-2-3-4-5-6. The breaks throw me off sequentially, though not rhythmically. Interesting.
  16. Ah yeah, still don't have one, but I will PM you in order to see about your custom-made stuff. In fact, if I have time, I'll do that now.
  17. Absolutely good advice, I kept my other PC's RAM and and processor; when I get a new PC I'll have more power.
