DragonAvenger has some mixes posted to the site (and one back in September), and if you've listened to any of them, you'd know that she's female because of the vocals (and in the write-up DJP mentions it). Just sayin'

Wait...what? How? I can program in any language in Windows, easily, and I don't have to put up with the shitty mac mouse and keyboard (as well as other things). Am I missing something? Anyway, I am definitely looking forward to Windows 7, especially once I get a Core i7 920. So far, I've got a nice case and a hard drive...only lots more money left to save!

Try both the variable bit rate and average bit rate algorithms for encoding, I used Audacity 1.3.6 and I was able to cut mine down to 5.9MB using the ABR (average bit rate) at 128 kb/s. I agree on cutting the repetitive sections, that's the main issue I am having with it. The middle seems to go on and on, while the intro and ending are great. I think it would be a good idea to cut some stuff in the middle out anyway. And definitely bring out those church organs.

Woo! Thanks Darkesword for hosting this. To the people listening, remember: we had like less than a week to do everything. Great stuff people!

Totally like the solo, and it transitions very well. You should add more in the mix somewhere. Though I gotta say, because I like sax, it's over too quickly . But that could be because that's the only section you've done so far, and it's not yet included in the rest of the mix. Something that would make it sound a little better (that I think): Add another sax. Totally. What's better than a sax? Two saxes. For example, I have a alto sax and soprano sax following for the most part the same melody an octave apart with each breaking off here and there for a note or two, with the alto panned a little to the left and the soprano to the right a bit. Or maybe for the second "loop" of the song (where you do the same as the first half), instead of a sax solo, have a sax duet, like I mentioned above. This would add more to the song, and make it a "loop but not a loop," while definitely keeping it fresh on the ears and mind of your listeners. Take it, run with it, or leave, up to you.

Aw yay. I was just about to go about asking how this could be done (I figured the admins just didn't allow that for some reason). This makes WIPs/contests/etc.. much easier. Thanks!

I submitted a song a week (on the 7th) before the newest edit (the 14th, today), and it doesn't appear in the "To Be Judged" and I haven't been sent a rejection letter. Is there a cutoff date for the submission email to be added to the "To Be Jedged" section? To the judges: on average, how long does it take for a mix to be accepted, but not posted to the site, before you realize "Oh dang, we should really post that..." I ask, because there's a mix (Vision of Celes) that was accepted on September 8th, 2007, which was well over a year ago. Do you usually try to space out games/genres and the like? Or in this case are you just waiting for an update from the ReMixer? It just seems to me that a year and 3.5 months is a long time to wait for a mix to be posted to the site (if nothing is outstanding, as in waiting for something from the ReMixer/etc..).

I love Hydrocity. Gotta be the best track of a Sonic game. Your piece is great as well. It does need more variation though, but you obviously know how to add variation in, it shouldn't be too difficult to add more. You could also vary the timings a bit (by a couple milliseconds and such) of each note to sound less rigid, especially considering the genre you chose. I think the intro needs a little more variation as well. Do us all a favor and don't forget to work on this more and post it here on the WIP boards, alright? I'm looking forward to more. Oh, and Xenon, you got sax in your remix that you've started for Hydrocity? If so, that makes you, myself, and hRook all working on hydrocity, and we're all throwing at least a little sax in it. Now we just need Prophet to join us .

Indeed. Bah Everyone makes typos.

Not a problem. It's enjoyable not reading stuff trying to be professional (humor != professional tone). Hell, for my final paper for English this semester I wrote in a very conversational tone and the professor said at the end that it was very refreshing. I look forward to more, and I'll probably read it all.

No caps for sentences starters? For shame. Oh, a little typo (search for "thing nanometer-sized"). I think you were meaning "think nanometer-sized"). Skulltrain? Did you mean Skulltrail? Also, it might be worth it to say what a die is, as you reference putting two cores on it, but not what it is. "intel’s core 2 duo, the laptop varieties of Celeron dual-core, Pentium D, and amd’s athlon 64 x2 and laptop-based turion 64 x2 processors without even flinching." I think you missed something of the meaning "beat single core out of the water without even flinching." "is basically an compilation." "since the e8400 si a dual-core" I don't know if you care about typos, but if you do, here are some I found. Good read by the way. Looking forward to other sections.

Awesome. I was a fan of your Day & Night mix back when you posted in here on the WIP boards. Love the percussion (little bell type things?). A very epic sound going. Besides the little bells, you don't have much in the high end, and it sounds a little...squashed. It's also a little repetitive. I suggest perhaps throwing in a little sax here and there? Maybe? Or is lava zones and sax too cliche? Definitely nice start, but there doesn't seem to be much of a melody, it sounds more like the background to a movie. And while that may not be a bad thing, I think it needs something more (and perhaps that has some highs in it). Can't wait to hear more!

Wall-jumping Sonic in 3D would be amazing. ..well, if the rest of the game isn't awful.

Problem there is the bulb though. You blow that...you blow lots of money away.

...I'm sorry. DAMN. I guess if there's ONE reason to work at Circuit City... Even more DAMN (I don't have the money, but my fiance and I reeeeeeally want a TV (it's so small and so old it only has a video in and mono audio). But we won't have money until mid- January (refund checks from financial aid). ...how long is your discount in effect?

Are you talking about the single SFII movie or the short animated series (SFII V)? Because the animated series was pretty sweet, too.

I posted this idea last year, and I'm posting it again: there are plenty of WIPs that need reviewing as well, so don't forget to visit the WIP forum after you review a mix that has already been posted!

The screens look good - colorful and stylish, like the old 2D sonics. Now, if they manage to make the sword fighting stylish (the way sonic has always been stylish), as in this screen and this screen, then it will make me hopeful. I mean, Sonic just looks cool in these shots, as he should, since he's sonic.

If by updated, you mean sluggish, slowed-down, and a removal of almost every advanced technique, then sure, I'd call it updated too. The only way I'd consider brawl being updated is that there are different characters (you can't even completely say "added characters" because some were removed) and a more expanded single-player. Which is fine, but most of the meat of smash is in the versus mode.

In case anyone happens to be in the area of northwestern North Carolina in January, I will be hosting a large-scale tournament on January 24th. It'll be in Boone, NC. Melee singles and Brawl doubles. Check here for more info. It's a-gonna be sweet.

If we could find a way to put OverClocked ReMix, OCR, ocremix.org or something on the shirt (maybe the top of the back side?) related to OCR, then wouldn't that help bring new people to the site? I mean, would you not be curious if you saw a guy with a shirt that depicted a girl tripping over an alligator, who was laughing? Or a guy walking into a party where's there are just skeletons with a sign saying "No Flesh Allowed"? Or even a hamburger made with neighbor in between two buns? I know it would certainly pique my interest/curiosity.

Well thanks! I bet I surprised you when I won that first one . I will admit though, that if I have a choice, melee wins over brawl. Also, the lag and the giant buffer window brawl has hurt me a bit, as I rolled into smashes more often than I had wanted ("stand straight up. no, no...don't roll to the right...dead" the reason i rolled was because I was using the control stick to DI to the right, but with the lag, the game thought I let go of right later than I did, and with the buffer window being huge, counted it as me wanting to roll). No johns though, no johns, as I'm sure you had the lag as well. Fun matches, would play again.

If anybody lives in VA, TN, or NC I'm trying to hold one at my university (ASU in Boone, NC) on either Jan. 24th or 17th. Hopefully it'll have a large turnout. A lot of people from around the state seem interested.

Which tourney did you go to?

Slowdown is pretty nice, like the water sounds. Before the slowdown, which was welcome, it was a bit repetitive and predictable. I like the arrangement after the slowdown much more than before; there's a lot going on with an interesting melody. Before it seems a bit...boring. Of course, this could just be my opinion, but there's nothing really keeping me listening until the slowdown. Perhaps throwing in some notes a little off the beaten path would help. I like what you've got, but at least for my personal taste, up to the slowdown needs more to keep me interested. Good stuff, though.
