1. Pretty damn not what I'm looking for. xD You would use that in trance, not here. 2. *nods* 3. Thanks but I already got an explanation. My drums are fine, they just need more to em (i use a kick and snare simple rhythm) 4. I use like one synth for background support. XD 5. Fair enough. I'm not telling you what you can or cannot critique on. I'm telling you that some parts of your crit are things that I don't wanna use. It's as simple as that. And I'm also giving you a bit of advice: Don't tell someone whether you think it'll get accepted or rejected. They will take it the wrong way. If you'll excuse me I must eat some food. *throws tomato*

Thanks. I was gonna take out that filtering. It didn't give the effect I wanted (it sorta just drowned out the drums) I'm just gonna pull it out. xD Don't think so highly of me. And as for soundscape replacement: It's not gonna happen. Shariq told me some stuff sounds thin but that's no reason to slap an electronica label on it and go buy Sytrus samples to redo my song. That's okay I already got an explanation from someone.

XD 1. I don't use love philter 2. I can't afford Sytrus. 3. Tell me what MIDI-ish means and maybe I'll understand what you're telling me... til then, my sounds are fine. 4. Most importantly I'm not gonna use synthesizers. I hate most synthesizers. 5. From your crit, I can automatically tell my soundscape is fine, it's just that you want me to replace everything with synths because you're an electronica fan. "I think if you submitted now..." You're not a judge, so don't give me that "It's not gonna get accepted" stuff. I live next door to someone who can tell me that... you just worry about critiquing my remix. And don't worry about being too harsh... you only have to worry about that when you're Snappleman level.

OPTIMUS PRIME. xD I dunno... I'm not good at naming songs... I'm good at naming people with cool names, but I can't do songs... XD (especially since there are no lyrics, just makes a whole lot harder)

Eh well really I don't care... it's my beef with him not yours. :/ You're pretty good, and as a person you're way better than Snappleman. As a musician, you can probably get better than him. Snappleman is a good musician but his attitude is despicable. Anyways, are we waiting for something to happen in your project? Because it seems like we're just sittin around chatting when your project is like "Are you still there... is anyone there.... shutting down..." (Portal Reference) Are you working on anything?

Seriously, that's not even funny. I can't believe you think I don't respect MY OWN BROTHER'S MUSIC enough to know that I'm not as good as him. He's like, 25 with about ten years of experience. I'm like 13 with zero years of experience. xD IT"S PHYSICS... or just common sense. XD

:/ You don't say "You ruined the source" to someone who was on their first WIP. That's just plain moronic. He needs to take a chill pill...

*ahem* Megaman "7". XD So do you think I should sub it?

Actually we have three Metroid Prime Remixes, and all of them by my brother (you can see why I want to do one as well) And as for the name, how about "A Hunter's Journey" because it is the themes of all three Metroid Prime games which is her entire journey (as for as Metroid Prime goes) Or how about "Hit The Start Button You Moron..." And don't feel like your knowledge is inferior, it only took me like... three months to learn the basics? XD There's my standard "quiet" problem again. XD I have that problem a lot... whether it be remixing, socializing, or answering questions. XD I dunno how I can make it louder, it's at normal FL project level and I just added two Stereo Enhancers to the master track, see if that's any better...

Snappleman? xD If anything, I say good riddance.

Hah, thanks! But, I would use something like "A Hunter's Beginning". But thanks anyway, your insight helped me in the name decision! The cutscenes in the opening of the game, "A Hunter's Beginning" fits because like you said it's the cutscenes in the beginning (plus the songs I used are played in the very beginning of the game) Also, I'm thinking of subbing once I get a few itty bitty problems fixed...

"you find out that some of the compositions are actually really cool songs when you revive them" Yeah... uh, we know that. XD that's kinda why this site exists. With or without reviving the originals, they are good songs (which is why we rearrange them. It's fun to listen to an interpretation) XD And you are misunderstanding. It's kinda like a chicken sandwich. The original source song from the game is the chicken... we just add the bun, the lettuce, mayonnaise and whatever the hell you put on your sandwiches... But like you said the chicken could be good by itself if you just bread/fry/broil it. (But the chicken by itself isn't what OCR is looking) You're thinking of it as replacing the chicken with beef, which, while it is good, is not what OCR intends to do. Well, some people do that and it's still enjoyable. XD ... Oh great now you got me hungry. :'(

I haven't exactly given up on the Serenade of Water, I just think I should do it another time when I'm more experienced (Just a short source with one chord...)

Well when that bitrate goes down it's gonna sound different. We should crit the version you're going to sub, because if you don't make THAT version sound good there's no point in us critting this one.

I'm sure there are some cases with exceptions, but when it exceeds it THAT MUCH, there's no leniency whatsoever. Won't even go to the panel.

Hey I had to return the favor after he dubbed me creator of Neblixsa music...

This is heartbreaking... this is SADNESS!!! ...Sadness? ...THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!! *DO A BARREL ROLL* It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what patterns I use, it matters how I use them. They just happen to be in perfect rhythm with Metroid Prime 2 theme. XD Oh and the update's done. Have fun. Ack sorry I didn't see you! Me and Gario already established it's Dm CM Am Dm. xD

REVOLUTIOOOO- *ahem* Actually I'ma go with Shariq on this one. It makes a lot of sense that the patterns should work together in rhythm, not be separate parts put together. Okay, I see what you're saying about the chords. Now that I know the chords I can write more original stuff. I don't know where you got the idea of a-minor chord, it doesn't really fit. :/ I think it's just Dm CM Dm, played like the bass and background choir. (Oops never mind I just checked again I didn't place the A-minor chord in the right place it does fit) I won't put the chord progression in the song, I'll just use it as a guideline for writing new stuff. I'm in the middle a of adding in a trancy synth to do the chord progression as an arpeggiated background section to make the song not sound empty. definition of cliche: Something, most often a phrase or expression, that is overused and has thus lost its original impact; a trite saying; a platitude :/ The only one who's done Metroid Prime Rearrangements is Shariq and he has not used this rhythm. I don't understand how you can overuse something for the first time that's never been used. XD

Don't forget snare. Not just lows and hi's but mid's as well. And don't ignore that bitrate, you could be rejected not a first, not a second, but a THIRD time for that. Actually, you would get rejected every time for that.

xD I can just imagine your descendant's parents being like "Look kids! Your great great grandfather was the one who created Garionica out of Classical and Electronica styles of music! We still have the mp3 of his first written Garionica piece!" "Oh mom/dad/futuristic alien very similar to humans, don't you know that nobody uses mp3's anymore?" (Note: This scenario does not encourage young hooligans to address their parental figures as futuristic aliens very similar to humans.)

...what if you want to... What if you want to... WHAT IF YOU WANT TO?!??!?! WELL NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU xD But seriously, you kinda gave me the impression that you were demanding. (ex. "DJ's hate that ending" I thought you were telling him it wouldn't get past the judges.) And as for genre, Shariq said this: "genre classification is stupid, it's a piece of music" (lol I can imagine Tendou from Kamen Rider Kabuto saying that XD "Shariq-san ga itte ta... xD"). If you MUST know, I would say it's... GARIONICA!!! And as for file size/bit rate, can you export it as the original wave instead? I could put it through Fruityloops and export it as 192 bitrate mp3, I'm not sure if that would change anything but still XD.

Hmmm, nope. Bitrate and file size is too high. Lower bitrate to maximum of 192 and file size limit is 6 MB. Everything else= gold. Well no... I don't like that constant kicking at the kick drum in the beginning. It's like your drumming that with a sewing machine.XD Try varying the velocities on that one.

Nothing's wrong with a fading ending "if it's done right". (quote of judges I saw in a discussion where someone said fading endings were abrupt) "DJ's hate fades. This track could be performed." I don't think Gario intends this to be played by a DJ. xD But I do know one thing. Not everyone in this community is a DJ and has the same interest as a DJ, so it's fine if DJ's hate the ending as long as some people do like the ending. Also, not all of the judges are DJ's either (well I know at least one isn't unless he has some sort of secret side activity I don't know about) so they won't reject it just because the ending doesn't fit to a DJ's taste.

NYAH! Haha just kidding, it's pretty awesome!

*ahem* "(except for the voice clips - they stay 'cause I love em')" - Gario I have to admit Gario your mix has gotten quite enjoyable... if not for the un-enjoyable quality. XD You could send me the MIDI... but it won't have your synths. Does Reason use soundfonts in .sf2 format or.wav format? If so you can send me the sounds if you aren't using a sampler... but it won't have the effects (if you didn't put effects like delay and reverb that would make things easier). We would have to go back and forth trying to get the right sound. And that's not fun, considering I'm already doing a collab... So... sorry. XD
