Sefiros - made my favorite remix on this site and vanished. Holy crap, what a way to tease your fan base, there. Also, I made this thread for Disco Dan about a year ago, only to find out he now is married and considers this place a bit draining on his time, so he can't do much on here anymore. At least, that's how I interpreted his post (and the post saying he's now married). Nonetheless, he is greatly missed, here .

Happy birthday, Oin... Brandon!

Love Startropics. Glad to see it get a bit more love, here. The symphonic opening needs some humanization. It's very, very stale, when it comes to production quality. The arrangement of it is neat, though. The electronic is mellow, but not bad at all. Be careful with the Vibes in there, though - the highs make them distort and hurt the ears. Some of the synths (like the lead at 2:19) also use too much high-end, so take it down a little bit. Check into some of the production issues. Otherwise, it's pretty neat and catchy. Keep up the good work.

In virtually any world involved with both guns AND swords, swords are always superior. Always. Despite common belief, Arthur does not have anything to do with the Excalibur. It always just seems to be... there. It is also always the second strongest sword in existence, if it exists (some random, cliche sword that doesn't seem to have any significance seems to be the strongest, like a 'Crystal Sword' or an 'Ultima Sword' or some shit).

Quick question: DS, do you mind if I pimp out this compo elsewhere on the web, for the sake of getting fresh faces on here? I'm thrilled to see new faces on here, and I think it'd be better to get more people participating from around the interwebz.

Protodome, you the man. Keep being awesome.

Here's a fairly new one for y'all. I posted it in the 'OCRtan' thread, but it's more fitting here. I promised I'd post a link to my sister's page if I posted this, so... yeah. Enjoy (it's my current background, btw).

AAAAW DAAAAMN! Sorry, here's some belated birthday wishes from me. I haven't had any consistent access to the net in the past few days (believe it or not, someone actually took my broadband... go figure ). Anyway, glad to hear it was a good birthday .

Thank God I caught this before the slots filled up! Last match I read up and was thinking 'HOLY SHIT AWESOME! I need to be a part of that!'... then found out it was closed already. I must do this compo, here. My choice pick, here... 1.) Crystal Snail (MMX2) 2.) Boomer Kuwanger (MMX1) 3.) Blaze Heatnix (MMX6) Those are my three choices, here - best of luck for everyone here. Please note: if the competition starts any time this week, please put me in the bracket that starts the week after. I virtually cannot do anything remix-wise this week.

Haaappy birthday... CC Ricers. And haaaaappy missed birthday, Hemo .

Thanks for posting the entry. I was going to get something in myself, but some stuff has come up that's taken priority, here, so I won't be able to. Sorry I can't help ya, this time.

Wow. The irony in the title made me think it was going to be a silly thread, not one showing an actual heroic act. Well, my regards and prayers go out to his family.

If you die and donate your hat to your grandkids, they'll inherit not only a hat, but your experience, ability, strength... (FFV) ... Fuck, I've gotta try this.

... not gonna lie, I seriously thought this thread was going to by why the hell this guy changed from a standard dildo to one with the balls and some... eyes. Glad the Germans caught on to that in their translation, lol. As for the Snes version, no one seems to recall 'Tra la la, find Shaharala-la-la (or whatever his name was)'? It was just a lame hint for where to go next (if, by chance, you got lost on the way from the shrine to the town and went through the work of finding the powder first... which is not likely). I'm going to have to stick with the 'PRE-pre-N64' explanation for the LA version, here, but to be frank there's some real problems with that theory, too - why the hell would an American translator be privy to that information? I'm on the boat wondering what the hell it all means, now...

Hey, Dj Mokram did a remix of this about a year ago for the FBRC2009 compo. Perhaps it'll suffice?

Totally skimped on my sig... sorry 'bout that, haven't been around this month much, so I wasn't set up for anything. C'mon guys, give this guy some musical love, here!

Have a birthday full of awesome, Dj Mokram. If you don't I'll be very disappointed in you and whoever else was involved in taking away the awesomeness of your birthday. Also, I still type out 'Dj Morkam' to this day - it's just one of those names I cannot get right, for the life of me... EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN MY SIG!

Yeah, but I think DS's song was going to go with the release (obviously there were some complications, so it didn't happen). I don't know the details on the posting order - DS's was the only one I was sure of. Your song might be posted, too (that's what LT said, anyway). I can't say for sure, though, since I'm not LT. I am sure that my song won't be posted, though, lol.

Aaah... Another (more important) album release. That's perfectly understandable (especially since it IS FFV ). And, of course, the regular release schedule. In that case, we'll all just need to wait patiently for DJP to post us then, won't we? ... ...by us, I mean you, DS, lol.

Nice work on the covers - they're pretty spot on, considering some of the tracks are pretty complicated, tonally. There are mistakes, from time to time, but it's not bad at all. As for doing OCR 'ReMixes', it'd be an interesting thing to dabble in, if you're comfortable with the dictation aspect of it. I like covers too, though .

Hmm... Wasn't Darkesword's track supposed to be posted with the release? Whenever it's posted (or if it's posted) this'll get quite a bit more site publicity, I suspect.

I don't remember the mix being too bad, really. Don't worry about your skills, you have what it takes, judging from what you posted here. As for my comments... Creepy - it was an eerie arrangement. I'm sure that's due to the source, but hey, nothing wrong with that. I like it. Smashing - I meant 'Good'. Right now I'm sick and slightly incoherent, so... sorry that you thought it meant something else. I really liked the bass - it was thick and juicy. Piercing - as the others said; the guitar shoots out too far to the front, right now. It needs to be mixed down a bit. Texture - The approach to the harmonies in your mix are strictly block chords. While it's fitting, considering the minimalist approach, you use them too much and they begin to sound dull. Slow arpeggiations could be used periodically, or even a creepy slow waltz could fill the harmonies every so often. It'll help break up the static nature of the arrangement. I'd speak for Rozo, but... well, he can speak for himself, when he gets to it (I'm not gonna do the work for him, eh? ). This mix has potential behind it, don't be discouraged. I hope my explanations help.

I don't believe you. LIES are coming from your mouth! Admit your tracker love to everybody!

Anyone think Gearbox will accept the pre-orders people have been holding onto for 13+ years, if they release the game, finally?

Ahh... isn't this the wrong place for this remix? It'd probably get more feedback in the Remix WIP forum, anyway... Very creepy mix. The bass is smashing, and the guitar is... piercing. You might want to tone that down in the highs. It's pretty minimalist, but not bad. You could use a bit more texture in it periodically (vs the choral-style chords). It is short, and it doesn't do much with the theme. If you were planning on getting on OCR with it, it'd be wise to fix those issues. I liked it, nonetheless.
