Emunator

Yeah, to be fair, if I was voting for anybody based on their name, it'd be Will. I mean, it kinda promises that he's going to rock. I might as well not even listen to his stuff because I already know how it's gonna go down just looking at his name. prophetik, while I'm sure he makes awesome tunes too, does not have a username which promises an equivalent amount of rockage. This puts him at a serious disadvantage to anyone such as myself who considers names the ultimate voting criteria.

Go for it. You're on the bonus disc so it's easy to drop new ones of those in place. Good luck

This thread is now about Megaman X again.

I kind of want to claim "Her Greatest Wish" but I don't see how I could possibly fuse it with the Bowser theme you've got it mixed with. I think I could do something cool with the... oh crap. Someone's already expressed interest in it. Well, I guess I'll just leave this here and say good luck with your project

Yeah, Gario it's likely that you probably did send that all in, but the organization on this project has been a mess and a half. I'm really trying to keep my head on straight as I try to track down everything that was sent to various people. I very much appreciate your patience, especially if you've already sent your stuff in. I think the only one we're missing is a WAV for Crystal Crow Crusher, but I can ask around and do some digging to see if maybe I just made a clerical mistake when updating the Doc that we're keeping everything on. If you have it though, it'd be easier to just send it again and skip the long, drawn-out search

Yeah, I can post one real quick. I've already messaged all these people individually (some multiple times) but I suppose crowdsourcing might get things done quicker Tracks that do not have a final WAV (or we're not sure whether or not the one you sent us was mastered... i.e. I never got a response from you) Demonstray x2 (tracks will likely be dropped due to extended periods of no contact, never received WAVs for either track) Gario (Crystal Crow Crusher) Krow (Deep Sea Harmony) zykO (Hunter) [track will probably be dropped due to a hard drive crash and the fact that a wav was never produced] Content Policy Agreements cyril the wolf gario krow Track Writeups (these are optional but we'd like to get a statement from every artist about their tracks for the website) Level 99 (on behalf of the Overclocked Plaid Muffins) Cyril the Wolf x5 Krow x2 Gario x3 Hemophiliac BlackPanther Ergosonic ZykO Jewbei sixto and anyone who did bonus tracks. So yeah, that's pretty much what we're waiting on, in addition to the mastering of about a dozen tracks. If you are on this list for anything that means that, whether you sent it to Bahamut, Dyne, me, or whoever, I don't have something from you so you need to get in touch. The sooner we get this list cleared up, the sooner I can start encoding/tagging these sumbishes. If it goes too long and we still don't get content policy agreements/final wavs, we'll just start dropping tracks, I don't think anyone has a problem with that if it means keeping the momentum and getting this ready by the time Wes comes home. Let's go!!

You can help us accomplish this goal by getting me your damn track writeup for the Plaid Muffins song and getting in touch with Hemo to get the same from him Things are really coming along behind the scenes, I don't see any reason we won't be able to wrap this up by the end of the month if everybody cooperates. I'll be sending out another wave of PM's ASAP for those of you still missing stuff!

I'm going to laugh if I can convince any of you suckers to actually agree to evaluating the WHOLE project. I'm guessing we'll probably split it up into two, although I'll still be doing a full writeup for each track... at that rate I could probably vote on about 3/4ths of the submissions on the judges panel currently in that same amount of time Video preview will be coming soon, I promise. And it will be absolutely worth the wait. I promise. I spliced it together from custom-recorded footage recorded by Cody, and synced it with over 11 minutes of remixes. I believe we touched on 20 songs in the preview. Drew Gourley's going to rock out something flashy and awesome once he gets his new production rig, so just be patient and we'll hopefully have the preview out before the end of the month. Love you all <3

Hahaha, I've only listened to the most recent 53 second loop but this is so cool!! Please do share when you've got a full-length version up and I'll be more than happy to give a full critique, if the whole song is this strong this should be good to go. This is pretty hard-hitting and enjoyable, I know a lot of people who'd appreciate this kind of mix

Fun stuff, I dig it Not sure how well the piano tone fits IMO, but this is a neato cover. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, Monobrow's nailed it. I don't agree that this is quite ready for submission, at the very least, you could tune up your drum writing and production so it fits nicer in the soundscape. The drums feel quite robotic and you could definitely do some work on the velocities so that they don't feel so distracting, especially during the ambient parts where the drums are most exposed, such as the intro. In addition, Katie pointed out a lot of useful, in-depth EQ tips that should hopefully help you get everything sitting right in the song and keep your soundscape from getting too cluttered or too muddy. I couldn't agree more with her feedback here. You've got lots of creative ideas flowing but I still feel like there's a ways to go before this is really ready for submission. But keep at it though, I love your creative sound choices and fun arrangement, this totally has the potential to work.

Yeah, I just want to chime in and say that this sounds good-to-go on the production side of things. Fantastic take on a theme I've really come to love. Some minor crits - after the intro, the very simple synth line that's playing feels like it could use a different synth choice or some automation/filtering to give it a bit more personality. The piano sample is just fine. That said, I am pretty concerned that this might be viewed as too liberal. Your remix nicely follows the chord progression of the original so it FEELS like an Astral Observatory mix. You keep quoting the original often but it's heavily mixed with original writing. I can't really objectively say whether or not that the source usage is substantial enough to put it over the OCR bar in this case, I think it's going to come down to a judgment call. I like it a lot though so I say, submit and give it a shot, see what happens I definitely think this has a strong shot at passing. Either way, it's a keeper for me. Good stuff!

Glad this one survived the purge, it's an absolutely pristine and beautiful mix that keeps me engaged the entire time. Would have been a shame if this one never got to be heard.

Uhhhh... I'm metaphorically indebted. yeaaaaahhhhh...

Hahaha, well, you probably weren't wrong in thinking that I mean, when I started this up I was some random n00b off the forums with no street cred who'd been involved in the community for maybe 2-3 months, tops, and I had no proven (or even professed ) musical talents. My codirector kinda falls under the same category, more or less, so I wouldn't blame anyone for being skeptical. However, we both had our hearts in it 100% and we both also had a ridiculous amount of free time this last year and a half, so I think it worked out well. We had a lot of help from some very dedicated musicians who helped make it all happen, too, and we're eternally indebted to all of you We're doing everything we can to make sure the wait is quick, so just hang tight for a bit until then!

I mean this in the straightest, most non-gay way possible - this song makes me want to have sex with ProtoDome. Y'know... sexually.

Okay, first issue I'm noticing here is that the piano, while very well written, is pretty mechanical. It's right in the middle of the spectrum between realistically performed, and treated so that it's not even MEANT to sound realistic. You could either try and ramp up the effects on it and maybe achieve some success getting it to sound super-dreamy, OR you could try and give your velocities and sequencing a complete overhaul in an attempt to get your piano sounding a bit more realistic. I think the latter route, while it would take a lot of work, would yield some great results and make this sound a lot better. The production overall is really wet and causing a lot of muddiness throughout the whole song. Not to discourage you, but if you're looking to pass the panel this will need a major overhaul on the mixing. Tone down on the reverb, and tone down that really high, piercing whistle sound and that should get you started down the right path. I love the feel of this arrangement but the production and sequencing is definitely holding it back. Definitely salvageable but it'll take a lot of hard work if you're up for it

Ahhh, cool. Hit me up sometime and we'll touch base, just to take inventory and see who's doing what. Glad to see you're still around and willing to help though

Heh, kinda funny how the only two people who've entered all 3 GRMRB/GRMB competitions finally got a battle this round. Just one more reason why this is probably my favorite battle of any of the compos so far

We've got final WAVs for pretty much everything, but a lot of them are unmastered so we need some help there. I had a few people on board helping but I'm not really sure if any of them are gonna come through anytime soon, so I may be looking around for more help. We've also got a few executive decisions that need to be made about which tracks to cut that still aren't finished, and what to do with the GRMB songs that haven't seen any updates since the competition. So, tl;dr - we've got all the pieces there to make a finished product but we're lacking the dedicated people that we need to make the rest of it happen though :\
