Well, I certainly want to play Majora's Mask now.

Some of the sections sound really great! Some of the sections sound like the chords and melody aren't working together. I think at least one is purposefully dissonant but still doesn't work for my ears. The good ones are super cool and the dynamic between quiet creepy sections and the most energetic riffs is admirable and inspiring!

@Noaxzl Welcome! I recommend joining some competitions to work those skills back up. In addition to the bigger tournament compos that happen a couple of times a year, People's Remixing Compo and Meat 'n' Potatoes are constantly ongoing, and don't have a high bar for entry. You also get some nice feedback along with the votes! Check out the competitions forum!

I'm flattered that you keep putting me on the list
but alas, I'm still tragically short on musicking time as it stands..

I did just vote. Bit short on time so I didn't type down any feedback, but maybe I'll find the time later and post it in the thread.

Really cool arrangement. Some of the chords feel a little "stilted" (f.ex. 0:49) to me here and there, think it could flow a bit better.
The glitchy bits are really cool, nice variety of sounds. I do find the sidechaining rather excessive and pumpy in these sections particularly, to the extent that it is uncomfortable for me to listen on headphones. It's unfortunate that it's taking attention away from what is actually happening in these sections rather than highlighting it.
The lead is a tad loud towards the beginning (0:38->) but it's a very minor thing and doesn't make the piece at all less enjoyable.
Desipite the crits, very nice debut! Also, impressively creative on a well-trodden theme.

@DimeTower said it very well. The pacing of this piece is excellently measured, the structure is creative but cohesive, the harmonic writing is non-straightforward but doesn't lose direction, the sound is very good indeed. Nice work!

My 2016 playlist pick is "Grass" from Gebub's Adventure, music by Marius Masalar.
Cool Between the Lines segment, with a subject I wouldn't have even thought would be interesting to be honest, but it was. Laura is good. I liked the pretty relaxed interview, how there was so much chat about xmasy VGM in addition to the album release (which was cool to hear about, especially so many artists happily coming onboard).
Keep up the good work guys!

Sounds like a nice turnout coming! I submitted mine a couple of days ago.

I want to be Spencer Nielsen when I grow up. Luckily, he provided a lot of advice how to do that. Great way to open up the part 2: "Sonic CD!"
Here's my playlist submission: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01304

Very nice chippy treat here, not expecting much less from Mr. H. Lemon. There's a light-footed drive in this tune, very floaty but energetic. The source combination works seamlessly, for me Aquatic Ambiance is a natural fit too. Switching the bass sound to FM bass between parts was a cool move.
-
A little off-topic, but I'd like to provide some project files as well, if you think that's fine for the remix_attachments thing. Most of my Renoise project files happen to be self-contained, in the sense they work without needing any plugins or sample libraries apart from Renoise standard stuff. I realize this is not the case for most project files. Most of mine are also quite small in file size.

Very pleasant and "together" track. Pretty easy to listen to, but has also a cool, curious vibe. Nice upright bass, nice lush sound overall. I suppose the source combination is seamless, since the track sounds very cohesive.

I feel it was easier to grok the amount of music a ReMixer had made for OCR on the previous artist page. I hope the numbers of ReMixes and albums projects participated in could be added to the album and ReMix widget titles. I also liked the full list of album projects on the artist page previously. Perhaps the album/ReMix titles could also say "Latest albums" and "Latest ReMixes" if the full list doesn't fit to the page, and the headers could act as links to the full album list / full ReMix list pages. I guess the same goes for the album and ReMix widgets for the organization main pages.
Since at least my page has a lot of empty space below the album widget, it makes me think perhaps there could be some info about the artist's tracks on the album in that space.
Nice update though! I especially like the playlist, and it's nice to have the social media links and stuff up front and prominent. I like the tabbed approach as well.

The source material was so ready for this approach. I especially enjoyed the first third or so, that initial build-up was very cool. Perhaps not the flow isn't quite perfectly balanced throughout; there's some busy-ness here and there that kind of eats away the overall energy or impact, and some of the sounds and especially note choices I think are a bit off at the end. It gives an impression that ideas were thrown together and some final editing to bring all the ideas into line wasn't quite accomplished. That all said, it's a competent track, the flow isn't by any means bad (even if not perfect) and I could sure use some more OC ReMixes in this genre!

Wonderful episode. Amy brought a sense of calm wisdom to the interview, I was impressed with that, and you had a good conversation both ways. I think I got something out of the interview for my own work, but it was also just great listening to you guys talk. Score Scholar was great as well. I could've done with a little less gushing about the excellence and importance of the source tune etc - that I've all heard before - but once it got into the meat of the segment, the theoretical analysis of the piece, it was super exciting and enlightening. Will obviously loves this stuff as well as VGM, and it's a wonderful combination. You've done a lot of good episodes but this did a lot that I personally loved. Thanks everyone.
