Lmao the forums there are so dead it's impossible to tell now =/

Eh this place isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Just a bunch of elitists, flamer nerds and wannabe mixers

so basically to be cool at OCR you have to not have a life

Well, you don't have to love me, because I disagree with Rozo

wooot , and when you get that list done I know exactly who to call for a collab >: )

Yeah I have trouble with not making my music plod and in ensuring which parts I emphasize more. So I don't blame you if you're struggling >_<. I really hope this song get's finished and posted though, so good luck eh

cheater!! 10 char

no! it's mine!! >: (

yeah im gonna take a whole new approach to this song x_x, sorry about wasting space in the wip forums peeps.

oh yeah thanks for outright ignoring me Alex u big hobo. Oh wait that's me, but still

Yeah it was just an idea , I wanted to try a simplistic melody remix...so much for that lmao

lol. Thanks Larry. I guess ><

Do I get a freshly baked cookie for submitting my song in first, corrupt flp or not ?

lmao I tried man...I tried. I dig your song a lot nonetheless, so don't shoot me for that And no, that is actually a pretty good ploy seeing as that is a very popular game. People are just too lazy to reply

Thanks for the critique Rho . And yes it is very appreciated <3

lmao 10 char

Put more reverb on the high hats to make them come out more and last longer, or even layer another sample and pan them (ever so slightly) on opposite sides to make them sound richer. Just whatever you do, don't overcompress the drums...I've done that so many times, lol. Gooood stuff so far dude.

hm I don't know the source so I can't comment on the composition too much, asides from it's pretty decent. The bass line is fun, but I think it might need a bit of variety ><. Somehow this song comes off as minimalistic to me, even though it's probably not meant to be, personally I think it needs some more instruments to add a few more textures, and maybe a soft breakdown to reduce that ear fatigue (which isn't all that bad for this song).

actually I meant that it doesn't matter that it sounds fake, thus the "not for this genre" answer. Because its a dance beat. It's okay if it sounds robotic for techno/dance. At least that's what I've been lead to believe.

No, nor is it worth triple posting. But I feel obliged to answer you. When you get vexed, you tend to not think clearly .

Sorry I didn't hear the original enough it seems.

alright...jeez. At least I'm trying to critique other people's works, unlike the five billion other people who come here and post F*** all.

don't do that...please. The judges will probably make your dreams come crashing down to you, let us hear it.

ARRANGEMENT / INTERPRETATION [X] Too conservative - sticks too close to the source [X] Borrows heavily from non-source material (it's a simplistic dance pattern) PRODUCTION [X] Too quiet [X] Low-quality samples [not for this genre] Unrealistic sequencing [X] Generic/cliche sound choices [X] Drums have no energy PERFORMANCE (live recorded audio/MIDI parts) STRUCTURE [X] Not enough changes in sounds (eg. static texture, not dynamic enough) [X] Pace too plodding [X] Too repetitive [X] Abrupt ending PERSONAL COMMENTS The choir/vox is weak IMO, the drums need more oomph ESPECIALLY for a dance song. No one wants to dance to a weak beat :'(. Just compress the drums a bit and maybe layer them with panning techniques to make them come out more. And I also think that this remix is a bit of a downgrade from the original, just because it has a more filled-out soundscape and better sequenced drums (sorry man). Moreover, this wip needs a few more supporting instruments, a counter melody and some other ear candies, as the composition itself is overly simplistic and repetitive. I've been through this before and still am trying to make my way through it, but I gotta be honest. If I lied to you, and you submitted this and got instantly rejected, I wouldn't be doing you a favor. You've got potential though . (and as a positive side, your bass sample is nice, just its line needs more variety )
