DragonAvenger

Crazy soloing, love all of it. The entire feel of this track is great, really gets you into the groove. The xylophone throughout was a great instrument choice. Fade out seemed a little long, but other than that, I'm diggin' this.

As far as brass samples go, and considering the age of the mix, this isn't too bad. Still sounds dreadfully fake, but I can get past that. Definately a trippy mix, and an interesting listen. I don't know the source, but I can see how this might have been a much darker piece originally. The 'chorus' sounds repeated verbatim the second time, and the ending needs work. Still pretty decent.

I love how you used so many themes successfully! Transitions are simply delicious. I would love to hear this performed live. Great job!

Wow! My birthday isn't over yet! Thanks for your wishes!

I still want to know why 2 out of the 10 playable characters DON'T have capes.

I'm feeling warm fuzzies now. Sinewav has it totally right, if you can't donate, then write up some reviews, or listen to wips and give opinions. They don't have to be technical or anything, just like "this part sounded really good," or whatever. Spread the love, tell everyone about OCR!

Ahahaha, I love the theories! Good to know that people think I'm as old as my students are. That's all the hints you people are getting. Thanks for the wishes, I had a good day.

I've got my own thread, but thanks! Happy Birthday, Pongball! Hope you had a good day like I did!

Actually, you are on the wrong side of things. Thanks for the early wishes though.

Happy birthday Suzu. I just now realized you are three days older than me. How does that make you feel? Hmm? How?

Hooray for birthday!

Happy belated birthday!!!

I have the WIP of this saved somewhere, and I love the completed version. Really awesome jazz piano, and the drumwork slots in just right. The second half where the piano and drums trade off really adds some shine. Just enough original stuff to get you really grooving for the last time through the melody. Great job.

I will claim that OA is one of OCR's fastest growing artists here. I get to say I knew him when he was more Noob. Honestly, I really enjoyed this mix. Great energy, love the guitar work. Great job!

Sounds like you're more embarrased that you're listining to video game music than the actual names of the songs. What does it matter what they're called? I know I have a pretty tough time thinking of names for anything I've come up with.

Much <3 to OA. <3 <3 <3 <3

That's what I want to know!

HAHA, I can't believe that so many people responded to that. Man, DrumUltima was just giving The Coop a hard time. Sheesh, I would be confused about someone's gender with a name like "DragonAvenger", too. (Yes, I did just make fun of myself). It's alright, Coop, I still like you anyways. *pat pat* ANYWAYS, album is quality. Great job!

Good job to all who participated, I enjoyed all of them!

You're thinking of this the opposite way that I am. I'm not thinking of this as a workout. I'm thinking of this as something I do while gaming. In other words, I could be sitting on my ass while playing the game, but I'd rather be walking. I try to get in about a mile when I do it. Limits my game time, and it's better than just sitting there. Also, I have older systems set up with the purpose of playing those games that I got but never played, and otherwise would never get to. The new stuff, like FF12 (yea yea, not new anymore, I know...I'm that far behind) will be enjoyed in full laziness.

I obviously haven't kept updated with this, but I'd like to stop in and say that I completed Breath of Fire on Sunday while treadmilling. That's one entire rpg played while walking on a treadmill. Next up is Xenogears, I'm thinking. Eventually maybe I'll clear out my backlog of games...

Great work everyone. I'm liking what I've heard so far!

I would love to have the track I'm in finished.

I laughed pretty hard when this was the ad at the bottom of the page...

If I remember correctly, one of the latest Dragon Quest (Warrior) mixes wasn't posted for over a year because the mixer was going to update something. I think he never got around to it, and told the panel to just post as is. Personally, all of my mixes were posted in a relatively timely manner after their acceptance. The longest part is the actual judging process, it seems. (no offense intended)
