  1. I totally hate when people say how close their votes are (especially when i disagree with them ;-) ), but I understand their perspective on that. This vote was super close for me, and it took 4 listens each before I was confident in what I was preferring. The production was pretty close for all of them to me, and the arrangements were all good, I voted for the one that had the most energy. 

  2. Redstone ($$$, 3.5/4)
    PROS: 
    Rotisserie chicken, buffalo shrimp, typically a lot of rich cougars on the prowl
    CONS: It is really spendy, the ones in MN are probably better ;-)

    A 'casual' restaurant for rich people where they are super meticulous about service. The chicken is amazing, and the buffalo shrimp are incredible. The prices are really high, and i've never heard of having a Cheeky Redstone. Better off with Nando's, IMO.

    So with magfest coming up, Im curious if the dracula bracket will be two weeks like the rest of the rounds. Im not exactly sure how much remixing im gonna do at magfest, but if its only a week, then ill have to bring a laptop with me. 

    I am going to MAG with the assumption that we have a small disadvantage if we go. I am thinking about arrangement ideas with my own source anyways in a spreadsheet, so I can get it down quickly when things start up, and worry about the other sources when they are announced. 

     

    Edit: Thanks Mindwanderer for the critique on my song, I will definitely work to blend the sources more for the next round if that is what the goal of the compo is. :-)

  4. I think it's personalized enough in the smaller details. The structure is unchanged, which is fine. I'd vote yes to this as a judge. His Theme seems to be just a tiny easter egg at the end, unless I missed a quick reference earlier in the track (EDIT: I did, around 3:20). I remixed both of these themes earlier, and you if you listen to my version, you can hear I didn't do much with the structure of the overall track either, but personalized the smaller details to a degree that it was a unique arrangement. 

    To polish the production a bit, i'd focus a bit more on panning the counter melodies to give some space, and maybe have a bigger build to the ending, so it doesn't feel as abrupt. 

    I really enjoy this though, and I'd personally love to see this on the site. :-)

  5. I just realized how frequently my source modulates. It is making things awkward for me to say the least in combining sources easily. Normally it's just a simple transpose and then snip-snip the pieces to arrange.  

    I will do my best though!

    Normally I do upbeat stuff, so it'll be a good challenge to do some more gothic-sounding work. :-)
