YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY o wait I lost NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jabond23 needs help with his techno and heavy metal drums on his WIP for my project, I'll PM both of you.

Dude, the system. THEY CAN'T KNOW ABOUT THE LIES, MAAAAN. I DON'T WANNA DIE MAN!!! DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find this disturbing. 0_0

Happy Birthday.

Needs some phat, juicy chords in the mid range. Maybe a pad or something. Everything's seems too quiet, over all. Your drums sound very lo quality, and the leads are bland and exposed. EDIT: OOPS My headphones weren't connected properly. Everything except the part about it being too quiet are still true.

A lot of the instruments sound MIDI and exposed. I'm also willing to bet the drums are loops. I might be wrong, but they sound like loops. If not, there's no reason not to put some variation in the rhythms.

First thing I noticed: All of your instruments sound like Playstation instruments.

Question, is approval by workshop mods required to be able to submit to the site? (I already know the answer to this question but I believe you should make it public in your disclaimers)

The drums could be sequenced more realistically, and the lead guitars are overpowering. They should be turned down. The drums are too quiet, and provide more of a breakdown feel than an actual driving rhythm. Also, there are no rhythm guitars as far as I can tell. That's a REAL problem here, because there's a gaping hole in your midrange.

As willrock said LARRY FAIL Willrock can play guitar, dude.

Try not to get full of yourself, production's a bit of a different playing field.

My production and arrangement skills aren't that great. I'll be on the album, but won't get a posted OCRemix. Anyways I had a chat with Shariq about the compo over a few plates of mexican food. I'm not gonna reveal details but he's planning to wrap this up soon and get started with the Maverick Battle.

I don't think Willrock was going for a deadmau5 sound, dude. Hell I'd be surprised if he was, and I'm not usually surprised that often.

Ask Jade she's not as busy.

Okay we're getting side tracked. NEXT DANCE MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Uh, have you tried Anosou or BGC's music? Probably not hard core 4 on the floor club music, but electronic nonetheless. Zircon and bLiNd are really good, and really obvious, but since remixes are not categorized on this site by genre, and since I haven't been listening to the community's music for that long, I can't really recommend anything specific.

Might take a loooong time... like two weeks at least. I'd ask for someone to do it faster. Plus I can't tell what every instrument is, and the snare patterns are fast and quiet. I can do it if you can't find anyone else, but try to keep looking.

I find it funny how djpretzel says this is Will's best when he hasn't even listened to Willrock's grand robot master remix battle arrangements... But yah, I love the organ in this one.

http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/midi1.htm The issue with the sax is that it isn't human. You can have the highest quality soundfonts/VST's in the world and it won't matter. It has to be human. Velocity changes, offsetting notes because humans don't play exactly in rhythm, etc. With the amount of experience you have it will take a long time to try and successfully humanize this. It can be done but it's not something easy to do. You have to listen to a lot performed music and figure out what makes their saxophones sound human. I don't know any guys who can sequence a saxophone except for my brother, but I'm sure there are many others because I don't listen to a lot of music. It's not as hard as you think to find a good guy to collab with, it's as easy as "Post a thread and wait a few days."

In that case it would be bEaThEaVeN

No it's bEeThOvEn

I'm probably the only one here who's not getting a posted remix out of this T_T (Well and a couple others I don't want to name)

Reminds me of a convo I had with bLiNd a long long time ago. it was something to the effect of: Neblix; Hey are you really blind? bLiNd: yeah man. Neblix: Are you deaf, too? bLiNd: Yeah man I just put my head up to the monitor and feel the synth waves! Neblix: niiiiiiiiiiice.

Well that's what it's for, it's for helping people critiqueing you. I thought you wanted to use it as a guideline. It's not too bad for guidelines, but as an individual it's harder to find problems in your own stuff. Anyways, the piano is too overpowering, and way too much reverb. The strings aren't loud enough. I would add an extra octave to the flutes. And I would recommend getting a saxophone player.

That checklist is for people who are reviewing remixes, I don't think it would do much good to the actual remixer.
