Since this thread is still getting traffic, when you guys find out the meter of a track, please post the information for it here. I'm going to cover as much as I can on my own time (which'll hopefully be pretty significant), but if I'm alone on it it'll take an eternity to finish. Gimme your time signatures, NAAAAOOOOO!

capa has the minimalist approach going which you all know i like cause i went with that approach with that album thing except i went the noob route and used instruments he totally went cage on our asses and gave us a variation of 4:33 that totally rocked cause it was a video game remix he really should have won

It's good to hear that it isn't the end of all things, here (I'm actually having problems right now, myself, but I have a nifty external that's saved everything I had, much like you). However, does that affect your round on GMRB?

' ' from FFL2 (or Saga 2, if you're some kind of purist). There's just so much put into that song that's amazing.Actually, there's a shitload of good music in that game (and the game knows it, too - they charge you to use a jukebox, in game, and it's worth every... gil invested), but I won't go into too much of it, 'cause I know others will want to contribute some FFL2 music to this page.

sabotage, bro

Eh, personally I see these compos akin, in a way, to tabletop games. There are rules and such that structure the compo so people can participate in an organized way (compos are no fun without rules), but ultimately they're here for fun. If extending the deadline will ultimately make it more fun for everyone (since we'll all have music to compete against) then by all means extend the deadlines. People who had problems making the strict deadline shouldn't really be treated as if this is some sort of serious matter, since it's all in good fun. I hope it's not the norm for the compo, but ultimately a few days leeway isn't going to kill anybody, either. That being said, FINISH THE REMIXES, PEEEEEEOPLE! RAWR!

Oh you're actually referring to the old demi-god Gilgamesh and not the FF version? Neat - I've always enjoyed that character (along with his friend, Enkidu, of course). You know that everyone on here is going to think it's a videogame remix album at first because of the whole 'Gilgamesh' thing, right?

Ack, Sixto you 'tard. You're holdin' us all up! (Technically so is Txai and Demonstray, but still...) I won't benefit from the extention, either, since my comp is pretty much going to be in the shop all this week. Poo. Ah well, there isn't much that I'd change on it, anyway. Enjoy the two day extention - I'm eagerly awaiting the results.

Well, time IS up now, technically, so we'll see very soon, I hope. Do we have a full roster, now? I know Aceazure, Neblix, Chernabogue, Prophet and myself have theirs in, and I'm fairly certain Sixto will have something subbed by now, so that just leaves Txai and Demonstray in question.

Patience, young one... patience. We all have a chance to move on to the next round, if the listening public enjoy our mixes well enough. You never know - perhaps the people might like my slow blend of electronica over Sixto's awesome guitar. Besides that, you never know if the whole 13/8:3/4:4/4 thing threw him off or not - that's why you didn't want to be paired off with me, isn't it? I'm rather curious how people will incorporate that into their own tracks, when they face off with me. It never hurts to show confidence in your own work, buddy. So patience, bro - we'll see how it turns out.

I haven't thrown a controller since the good ol' NES days, but for fuck sake some of those games were ridiculus. Silver Surfer, Battletoads, Amagon, Karnov - each of those games could pretty much guaruntee that the kid would need new controllers. Also, it's not nearly as fun to throw any other controller than an NES one - every system after that decided to give their controllers rounded edges, not sharp corners...

Mine is submitted. It turned out to be a very sexy beast. Be very afraid, Sixto. Very afraid, indeed. ... Does my intimidation work?

Holy shit, this is some awesome stuff, bro! If you want some suggestions for music to remix, check out the music from (Castlevania V) for the SNES. It's just asking for some dance remixes. Besides, it's that time of year to hear some Halloween mixes, eh?

I guess I'll temporarily change my sig - it's for a worthy cause, eh? Also, I'll have mine done pretty soon. I think it's turning out to be the longest sub so far (although I can't know for sure - I only have the X bracket to compare to). I will force people to think hard about who they're going to vote for, though. It may be Sixto that I'm up against, but he's going to have a hell of a time with this one, I suspect. Looking forward to the voting stage, on this one... I want to see some struggling, when people vote for our tracks .

lol mac keyboard. Nario has been here recently with some amazing stuff, so you can check him out here. I've been amazed at what my N-counterpart can do with a dance pad, personally. I can't help you with the others, though.

Well, here's hoping that some of my GMRB songs will be up to snuff with the standards for this album - that way there'll be at least some Crystal Snail love .

Ah, it brings this back to my mind... Funny thing is, many of the games they've made fun of really have done exactly what they claimed they would do ('Old man' snake? Devil May Cry IV?).

Yeah, that's pretty much it. This is pretty depressing, actually - Capcom was one of the few companies that I could really rely on to make good games, but without Inafune I don't see this guarantee holding up anymore.

Bahamut's back, and it looks like he has a handle on the first post again. Woot. OLD MESSAGE: Hell yeah, it's up again. Just lettin' you know, I'm finishing my Maverick project song before I finish my Lufia 2 Tower song (and the Temple song, of course), but I'm freakin' pumped about this. Does this mean you'll finally check out my Tower remix in it's 85% finished state on the forums? It's been there for about a year, bro . Glad the freeze is finally over .

I was simply amazed that Capcom had the balls to end a series. The day I beat MMZ4 I grew quite a bit of respect for that company. I can't say I saw it as a culmination of everything Megaman, but I did see it as a very satisfying ending to the MMX/MMZ series.

Man, this is insane... I want to hear what everyone is doing for the Zero bracket after listening to the X round, but we all have to wait until this weekend, don't we? My track is coming along great, by the way - mixing two sources together is one of my favorite things to do, and getting something like Crowang mixed into a 13/8:3/4:4/4 format is really fun to do. ... Damnit, I wish I could hear Sixto's version, now - I'm really friggin' curious how he's doin'. The anticipation is killing me.

I'm sorry, but watching that I couldn't even think about the music. All I could think was 'Holy shit, that referee is better than the players!' (I started watching it at 0:35)... Neat song, though.

Ooooo, another Amy track, woot . Not to mention your first solo debut - I was waitin' for it, since from what I've heard from you there's certainly arranging talent that people have been missing out on 'til now. I don't know the source, so... well, can't comment on that, can I? Nice drum machine . It works, though, so it's no complaint. The synths and acoustics blend real well, here, so that makes me a happy listener. Neat textures, and they allow for room for your voice (as they should). The vocal work is great in it. Personally, I'm for less American 'R', but meh, to each their own. In a solo track they're not necessarily bad, they just color the vocal track differently. The 'duets' are awesome. I WILL note that some of the harmonizations sound slightly funny, to me, but that's because I'm a counterpoint freak, and I hear some combinations that break the flow a bit . I'm going to get it out, because I can't really help it - in duets, using fifths in sequence is bad for the flow of music. Most people pay little attention to it, but you'll find if you replace them with other intervals the duets tend to sound more interesting, and interesting generally means better, in this case. Now I wait for Rozo or Willrock to come in here and bash me for mentioning this... The violin playing was an excellent touch - I didn't know you played the violin. Very nice. Overall, neat mix. The combination of live and synth and vocals work well, here. Here's to another mix from you soon! *raises a glass of wine towards you, wherever you are*

You sound like you had some awesome parents growing up.

Well, LT's rule of thumb is if it's over 50% and under 80% it's alright, I think, so if it comes down to it you should be alright.
