    Here's that Astral Observatory mix I was talking about. It's been updated today :-)

    http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=602719#post602719 That's the halc mix I was talking about. It's been updated very recently, and yes, it's AMAZING!

    This was great, it shows how much your style has evolved and how versatile your skillset is. I really liked the introduction, though the ending felt overly drawn out (maybe that's part of the "cumshot" meme that I'm not getting here ) Not my favorite Tepid mix but it certain treads new waters with a lot of style and skill!

    Hell no. Shna's a righteous dude, it was his site that got hacked by Protricity. Happy birthday, you talented bastard!

    Hey, I recognize you. You're Kong-fu from DKC Atlas! :)

  6. Emunator
    Did you catch the two that I already posted?

    Um, yeah, I definitely didn't forget about that >_> My patented style of messed up, abstract light-based photography. I just snapped this for no reason in particular, but it looks cool The group picture, featuring myself, my non-OCR brother, NNY, neminem, OmegaDonut, and all of The OneUps. Fun fact: Mustin was the only one with his eyes visible in the picture that didn't need red eye removal Full versions: http://imgur.com/PFIBe.jpg http://imgur.com/WZbEC.jpg

    Thanks a lot! I'd love to hear that turned into a full-blown song, though

    I think this has been asked but I don't ever remember an answer being provided, so I'm gonna bring it up again - what's the source of that awesome Zelda 3 menu remix in the opening? I want that!
  10. Emunator
    Pretty much what I've come to expect from Neko - this doesn't break any new ground like his original work did for me, but it's still solid and highly enjoyable. I agree with OA that a few transitions threw me off, especially the one near the beginning where everything except the muted guitar completely fell out - that would have been better if you boosted the guitar volume just a tad. The segment right before the end really felt like it was leading up to an insane solo and, unfortunately, this didn't deliver. All in all, though, this is still very enjoyable and a great take on a classic theme!

    What about Dirge for the Fallen? As far as I can tell, Larry's still recruiting mixers for it. And possibly Milky Way Wishes, too. And Essence of Lime. And I agree that this thread would be even more useful if you kept up to date on things aside from mixers that projects needed (web designers, mirrors, artists, etc.) I'm sure that would take a bit of extra work, but it would definitely be helpful to those of us who can't contribute music. EDIT Oh, and since you listed Around the World, a project with all tracks claimed, you might also want to put down the Mega Man 9 project and Portrait of a Plumber, since both of those still have some unclaimed tracks listed. Oh, and Lufia I don't know how you forgot that one

    I sent you a WIP via PM on DK Atlas. Let me know if that's up to your minimum standards so I can get on the project forums and get some proper feedback :-)

  13. Emunator
    Ahh yes, I think I understand what you mean, then. The overall volume might be able to use a bump, but I think the general balance is good to go - the soft parts are quiet and the heavy parts are appropriately loud... it offers a nice disparity that accents the arrangement well!
  14. Emunator

    Oh yeah, I actually know what post you're referring to. You're right, it was just talking about remixes of existing ReMixes :-)

    And yeah, I'll have a WIP to you probably tomorrow. At least, a rough sketch. I'll probably just sit down on the piano for about an hour, and take the best 3 or 4 minutes of improv. to give you an idea of where I'm going with the track. Then, I can actually finalize it once I get my hands on a MIDI keyboard. Keep an eye out for it!

  15. Emunator
    Really? The sound dynamics and overall production sounded amazing already, maybe even perfect. That's one of the elements of the mix that sounded best to me, honestly!
  16. Emunator
    Yeah, that's definitely in the vein of what I was talking about! Refine those a bit and I think you've got something that's submittable. I can see the transition that occurs when the chants come back in bothering people, but personally, I liked it a lot. The lone piano notes felt like such a perfect choice to segue into the last part of the song. Great update, I don't really have anything negative to say about this one!
  17. Emunator
    You're very welcome Also, I just wanted to say that your Serenade of Water mix is absolutely brilliant - I've been listening to it for ages and just realized that was your work! I definitely think that this one could match that quality with a bit more work on the arrangement side.
  18. Emunator
    The drums you've got going on are pretty sweet. I like the piano solo that you ended with; the whole mix felt like it was leading up to something loud, grand, and moving, and I suppose that was it. The transition into the piano section felt kinda lazy, though. Overall, the sounds you're using work great with each other and you've got a wonderful mood going, but the arrangement still needs a bit of work. Your buildups feel very tense and promising, but what follows is pretty anti-climactic when the song just drop off back to nothingness instead of getting the track moving. One good verse with the energy maxed out would really fit in well after one of your buildups, probably at 3:46. I think you could really use your strings to create something very exciting and climactic before you end with the piano. Take a listen to "Avaris - Journey to Solace" to get an idea of what I'm talking about with the strings. Keep at it, this one feels like it's almost there

    Really? I've never heard of that "rule" before. I wouldn't worry too much about it if you plan on resubmitting; if your mix can stand on its own merits I don't think there's much else that matters.

    And yeah, I've been keeping up on the DKC Atlas remix project, I'm definitely anticipating that one, and I might even consider participating myself once I can learn a bit more about FL Studios and music in general :P

  20. Emunator

    Oh, so does that mean you won't be touching it up and resubmitting it? From what I heard, it was almost up to par, and it seems like the judges agree that it wouldn't take too much more effort. If you need feedback, feel free to send me anything and I can try to help you get it up to the bar, if you'd like :) I loved your initial WIP so much and I'd really like to see it get posted if you'd be willing to fix it up and resubmit.

    But Life in the Mines is a wonderful source though... one of my favorites from DKC. I can't wait to hear what you do with it!

  21. Emunator
    Hah! I was actually just coming in here to post this request, too! It's really such a great theme that's just begging to be remixed!
  22. Emunator
    There were some parts that were enjoyable here and really clicked, but it pretty much sits on cruise control for most of the mix and doesn't really go anywhere. And, on a personal note, I absolutely can't stand those vocal samples anywhere I hear them :\ I don't know what it is about them, but they always grind my gears.
  23. Emunator
    Holy crap, I was NOT expecting this to be so good! Super-energetic take on a mellow source, I'm quite impressed! The whole mix feels very convincing, I can't tell what's live and what's sampled. Some of the transitions were a tad awkward and the arrangement felt pretty unfocused, but overall this is a very high quality mix, especially for something so early on in the library.
  24. Emunator
    The pads in the opening felt a bit off, but overall I like the groove going on here. The piano and the powerful strings especially were a high point in the track. I'm also not really feeling the drums but they're not Bad Tuna-level offensive by any means, so it's not really a huge deal I wasn't as impressed with this as some of the other reviewers were, but this certainly isn't bad by any means.
  25. Emunator
    Hey, this was a pleasant surprise! The piano felt a bit rigid at times but once you got a groove going it didn't feel that way anymore. The only real problem I've got with this is the hi-hat... the way it was sequenced in that machine gun style feels kinda lazy and very distracting. Great take on the source material, it took me a while to figure out I was even listening to a Zelda II remix but once it hit me, it was a really cool feeling! Overall, I'm liking this a lot!
