But you all have to wait until it reaches the front page to hear it.

Bye. Good luck and I that wherever you end up you're as happy as you can be, and if you're not happy you remember us and then you'll be happy.

Really? Because later in the thread Clay stated he reproduced the tracks with perfect humanization, which is a claim I certainly think we can attack but we won't because I failed to realize he was intending what you are suggesting. It's confusing me because on the soundcloud page he almost sounded like he was TRYING to make it sound higher quality. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic, Rozo, because he's openly stated several times he's attempting to make it sound higher quality and humanized) WiP feedback: Lacks humanization. They can be as close as they want to the source, but the source tracks are just repetitive, you really didn't need to render long mp3's to cover what's there. It sounds to me like you're prescribing your own MIDI and then channeling them through Composer's Collection. Nothing much else to comment on, because instruments/samples are really the only thing to pay attention to with covers.

Clay, word of advice. If rozovian tells you your samples are crappy, they are crappy. You don't need to show him they are humanized, because he doesn't think they sound humanized. You can ignore him or you can listen to him, but you do not treat him like he has no idea what he's talking about (because in my experience Rozovian is one of the most valuable critics I've ever had and he's mostly right when it comes to this) And get that stupid ego under control. EDIT: Get your HORRIBLE ego under control. 10 years of music production experience doesn't mean much, and it certainly doesn't show in this stuff you posted up. In my opinion you have ten years of something, and that's age. You pretty much sound like a little kid who's getting offended. Kudos to you for not actually using curse words. We get the point of these songs were to be covers, but they sound just as MIDI-ized and low quality as the original. Humanization goes a long way, you may have tried but what you fail to realize is that you're not even close. And I'm being an asshole in this review because what goes around comes around. :/ ANOTHER THING: 1. This is a review thread, n00b. 2. From the reviews I've read, it seems the people here don't think you've done a good job. 3. If you don't like the feedback, you shouldn't have posted here in the first place. 4. You are not the greatest musician in the world, nor do you claim to be, but you seem to think that you can do anything and it will sound good. It doesn't, it didn't, and it won't until you're willing to learn rather than defend your work against any and all criticism. Criticism is never going to be 100% positive, and if you keep attacking the critics, your work will just deteriorate into mindless mp3 garbage going circles because you won't realize how bad at music you're becoming because, basically, you're shutting off the outside world.

Are you serious? Peak controlling is not even side chaining! The FL Limiter is an actual compressor that does what side chaining is supposed to do. It also sounds a lot more professional and "elegant" as I recall Zircon saying in his FL Studio Sidechain tutorial. Also, I find the peak controller harder, I would much rather just route the mixer track into another and put a limiter on that and set up the sidechain from there. There's also more control (actual compression controls like threshold and ratio)

Happy Birthday!

I really dig this style. I like the use of drum loops, synth leads, piano, and the groovy bass. Everything worked together to just click my head to "maximum enjoyment" mode. I don't normally feel inclined to comment on remixes either.

To be quite honest Willrock has heard and understood my critique so my work here is done. Here's some toast. :3

I'd have a whole dedication somewhere along the line to how to decide what kind of synths would fit with a song and how YOU go about deciding what YOUR synths are.

They weren't meant for you in the first place. EDIT: And I wasn't suggesting that I was offended, I was suggesting that you're just flooding the thread with unnecessary comments.

Thank you for understanding my complaints. Where's my toast? EDIT: And by the way, I don't appreciate you guys making fun of my critique simply because I'm the only one in this thread who has one.

I'm talking about the actual verb sustain, meaning: prolong: lengthen or extend in duration or space; "We sustained the diplomatic negotiations as long as possible"; "prolong the treatment of the patient"; "keep up the good work"

It'll be a long while before Maverick, I'm sure your nitrogen tanks can replenish by the time it comes around...

He means the fact that you are required to wait 3 weeks before you can submit another track. In this case, it's better to contact a judge for any information you missed in the submission email rather than submit it again. EDIT: Also, make sure you spell it "attach" and not "attact". That's a small mistake but it makes people have a poor opinion of you. D:

Yes. 10char

Halc is spot on with what I talked to Will about. The chords are just not filling up the track enough, they either need more sustain or more volume (I'd push for more sustain).

You said peak controller was not comparable to Ableton, but have you tried the FL limiter?

FL has sidechain, now, fyi Peak controller was replaced a long time ago... a LONG time ago.

These drums seem pretty lo-fi... makes this whole thing sound a bit thin. And also needs stronger chords. Good arrangement otherwise though. I likey

Just like TF2 forums, Counter Strike: Source forums, (used to) Kamen Rider forums, (used to) SMBZ forums, now we have Extra Credits forums. (well they're all threads but still) This is a pretty good series, I think I've watched every episode (the youtube ones, anyway)

Alright, fine, whatever. I just like Dustbowl.

I have never seen something like that before. (i usually see the scout attempting to do that die)

For attacking team: Scouts don't have the HP or power to destroy defensive sentries For defending team: I'm pretty sure you can agree that scouts aren't good for defense. Spies are, they can take the attacking team out from behind. Especially a dead ringer spy. That can cause some people to get super paranoid and fire rockets/throw flames everywhere but where they're supposed to.

Wouldn't the SPY have to be right behind you for that to work?
