Reverb, much? You seem to saturate the overall soundscape with so much reverb that it's hard to hear anything at all (I mean, I'm hearing decays with 2s+ on this). Dry up some of that reverb, or alternatively set some EQ on the reverb so it takes up much less space (something that Willrock does to his track, btw). Since this is a track that likes to step it up a note at a time the reverb has a doubly horrible effect on the track when it bleeds a line from one tonality to the next. The EQ is very, very bright. Cut down on some of the highs and try to fill the lower end of the spectrum a little bit. Conservative, yes, but it was still enjoyable, from what I could hear. It'd be great to hear some serious cleaning up on the overall track, though.

He's the only one here that gets an anniversary post as well as a birthday one. Well deserved, too, imo.

It'll run well enough. I can play it at roughly those specs.

Or C - have been out of town due to work (Which is the case, for me). Sorry, but I'm not going o be able to help out this time.

Great stuff, here. Fun fact: those moans are straight from the game, so it's actually kind of impressive that they're so suggestive in this track. Then again, now that I hear them in the game... Wasn't expecting it the first time I heard it, but it works very well. Awesome work, bro.

I haven't played very many games from the last generation of consoles, and virtually no games from this generation, so if any of those things are updates from pre-2k6 then I'd still be impressed and very happy (but for the wrong reason, I suppose).

Yeesh, play the first game - I'm sure it's not nearly as flawed in any of those areas as the original. I'd be happy as hell with those flaws, since those are inevitably improved with a generation or two of VG technology (in comparison to the first game, anyway).

I just gave Flexstyle, DaMonz and Evory access to the forums, but I'd love to have more and more people getting involved in there and helping each other out, so if you currently don't have access to the forums please let me know and I'll contact Darkesword to get you access. Glad to see your entry in there, DaMonz, and I'll be looking forward to hearing other people join in on it, since it not only helps push you forward, but it helps push everyone in the right direction. tl;dr, if you can't access the forums please let me know so I can rectify the issue.

Another Anti-Syne mix so soon? An Anti-Syne mix that I haven't heard yet? Very nice. This one takes some time to build up, but once it really gets into the meat of the mix, there's actually some very cool things that come in and give it some neat flavor. It does take some time to get there, though, so if you're a listener that wants to drop out because of the beginning, don't; you'll be missing out on the better section of the track. I like the style, but I will agree with DjP that something that varies a little in style would be a good idea for your next mix. Though to be fair, this IS only your second posted mix, so it might not be all that bad if you get one more punk-like mix, if that's what you fancy .

Took me 2.5 - 3 years... no, I'm not posted yet, but I do have an accepted track.

Stevo doesn't get birthdays. He gets level ups. Liontamer should adjust your site name to commemorate your leveling experience. Or not. Happy birthday, bro.

Hmm... I like the era of music you're going for and all, but for some reason most of it isn't quite clicking for me yet. I liked the 'Five is Average' track and the tracks mastered by bLiNd, but the others, not as much, as of yet. I think I need to let this play over the background for a day or two - either it'll grow on me or I'll be able to say precisely why it isn't clicking with me. In either case you'll hear nice feedback from me, so hang tight.

Send us some work on it and we'll put ya on the list. No need to be shy. On a similar note, here, there's more than The Earth that's open and available for people. A couple of these tracks really need some loving, here. The Strongest Man - Seriously, I don't think the album can be released without a remix of this. Someone please take a look at it. Port City - Another iconic track from the game. Again, it's hard to imagine an album without it. The Universe in a Jar - The Four Gods - Probably less iconic, but these have some serious remixability, here. They just have a very majestic sound to them. They're begging for some people to jump in and produce some more kickass tracks. In short, Earth is open (which is undoubtedly an important track), but if that's not to your liking then there are plenty of other great tunes that are in need of some love, here.

Not familiar with the source, but I'll trust it's all there. The performance is actually pretty tight, man. I liked it overall, but I felt that the guitar sounded too thin (not filling the soundscape enough). Not sure if it's my headphones or if it's something in the mix, though - it'd be nice if someone could clarify that for me. Love the bagpipes Yeah, this is pretty badass, especially if this is your first remix ever. Nice work - hope to hear this one updated. Oh yeah, and welcome to OCR.

Huh, must've been a temporary broken link, there. Wouldn't checked again if you didn't tell me that, though, so thanks. Awesome

To your credit, the instrument sounds much better. Personally I'd probably pick something else anyway, but it's pretty tolerable, now. I agree with Metaphist on the ending. Right now it just seems to end too quickly. It sounds like the track should just be getting ready to kick it into the next gear; instead it has a FO. Give a thought to expanding the arrangement, 'cause right now it just seems a little short.

Damn, listening to both the NES and version of the song, they're really miles apart, when it come to the flavor they give. Yeah, I'd love to see this get remixed, as well.

Your setup is immaculate, bro. The production is top freakin' notch, here. As much as I'd love to say it's perfect, though (it's pretty close, but... I'm picky as hell), I think it has one or two things about it that could use a little work. Everyone has mentioned it's conservative nature. Probably no need for me to mention it again The lead at :56 bugs me - it just doesn't belong to this soundscape at all, so next to the rest of the track it's grating. It might be the warm tone to it that gets to me (the rest of the track is warm, so it fights for space), it might be the synth design (it's like an 80's instrument thrown into a modern soft jazz arrangement), or maybe something else (possibly some fuzz, though I'm listening on some crappy headphones right now), but the sound of that instrument doesn't go well with the rest of the track. Why am I focusing so damn much on a single instrument? Because your track sounds perfect otherwise. When everything sounds perfect one's mind tends to focus on imperfections more intently, like an uncanny valley. So yeah, I love this arrangement, I could easily see it on OCR with the proper attention given to the arrangement. I'd love to hear something so close to perfection hit everything perfectly, so I hope you take a look at the one offending synth. Yeah, awesome track.

Haaaaa, that's some good stuff, man. Pretty high quality, too; surprised it hasn't caught on yet.

Oooh shit, look who's here. Glad to have you back with us, man.

Closing this due date out with a proverbial whimper, but most everyone it referred to has either sent in something to show their continued interest or have already progressed significantly enough where I don't feel I need to kick them in the rear anymore. Looks like Bahamut is rolling back in now, so I suppose it's about time to get in touch with him.

OH YEAH, deadlines today for the newbies. Hope I see some moar stuff tomorrow (though I've gotten quite a bit already, I'm always happy to see more ).
