Probably not, but If I won out of a coin toss, it would be pretty cheap. You've been moaning about technicalities in voting, this could basically come down to the same thing... imagine if you won or lost on a coin toss. Besides, people DON'T have to vote. If they can't decide at that point in time, then they should leave it for now. Now i'm not saying they can't do it, but I'm just saying being on the receiving end of something like that isn't very nice and I feel like people who decide to vote that way need to know how it might affect the remixers in question, particularly if they care about going far in the compo. They do have a week, and if they still can't decide then they shouldn't vote at all imo.

Something to mention here... I read every vote in the match ups I'm in and quite a few times people have apparently flipped coins and voted against me. On the receiving end of that, its extremely disheartening, particularly when a vote is close and can turn the tide, and I'd much rather people didn't resort to such petty methods of voting. If you can't decide then don't vote at all, please? To be frank, leaving a vote like that to chance just doesn't seem fair for either remixer in said match.

What happened to voting on mixes anyway? No votes in over a day now... get on it people!

Its fucking awesome is whats up with it. Mix is great too, my personal favorite from the album, personally I'd have floodposted this one rather than Home Is Where the Luvdisc Is. Yeah its that good

Just to clarify, I haven't stopped making my high energy rocking stuff. Like you said, Round 2 was high energy. Just because I choose to expand my style on a few tracks doesn't mean I give up on my other stuff. If you guys think i'm going to do mellow tracks for the final rounds should I get there, then you're wrong. I've got to try and keep things interesting tho, i've been in this compo 3 times in the past where I've never done less than 4 mixes for each. Making the same track 20 times over isn't exactly something people won't get bored of.

Just found out they've restricted to US only, which means I can't join anymore. Time to kill the site owners then.

Mix submitted. Main Finger - do your worst. I'm ready.

I think this is pretty sad tbh. Regardless of if its the copyright holders right, settling for that amount out of court is really bullshit imo. Might be the way the law works, but when people can potentially ruin others lives over some fair use clause or technicality which the accused party missed, then something is really wrong with the way the law works in that aspect. Like BGC said, if the guy had just asked for X amount to license the artwork, then thats totally cool by me. However, all this says to me is that the photographer is just a greedy asshole that will take unreasonable measures to get as much money out of any sucker who is unfortunate enough to get on the wrong side of the decidedly questionable laws of fair use, simply because he can.

happy birthday dudes

No offense taken, i'm just defending my decision

Well, you see my signature right. I thought it would be most fitting to use that font as its a shout out to my video game remix persona. I figured it could be seen as an "easter egg" for people who know what it is because like gollgagh says, not everyone will make the connection. I think its rather sad you might find that unprofessional, but each to his own I guess That said, thanks for downloading the album, I hope you enjoyed it

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone for the critiques and feedback, as well as the people who donated, you guys are AWESOME. On a small side note, i'm not going to be keeping this album free forever (probably going to bump a price on the album in a week or fortnight) so get it now while its free! One last thing... not trying to sound like a hard ass, but you could you guys try and keep the spelling/grammer comments to a minimum? I know i'm not the best speller in the world, but try to keep this on topic yeah Cool beans, and thanks again guys, if you haven't downloaded it then DO IT NOW, and any feedback in this thread is greatly appreciated Thanks, WillRock

Seems to me that regarding tuning, everyone hears it differently. I know people who can't hear out of tune stuff as well as others, and people who like this don't seem to hear tuning problems that strongly compared to some people. For me personally however, the tuning is way too bad for me to enjoy this mix, intentional or not. Sorry dude

No one booted you for that today brandon, stop talking rubbish

http://willrock1.bandcamp.com/album/refractions-of-a-dream As a few of you may know by now, I've been working on an original album of material for quite some time now. This has all finally come to fruition with this release, "Refractions of a Dream" Some of you will know this music from my Alice In Wonderland Narrative Soundtrack video on youtube, so if you liked the music, now is the chance to download it. The whole album was original envisioned as one long progressive track, which is how I'd like people to view the album, and listen to it (the album is gapless and all the tracks transition into each other) Because of this, I very strongly encourage that people download the whole album, rather than individual tracks. The album is pay what you want (i.e. FREE) but any donations are greatly appreciated should you wish to purchase the album Anyway, Check out the album, and I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks again, WillRock Very Special Thanks goes to the following people for buying the album, you guys are AMAZING and I <3 you: Tim Sleeper Drew Gourley Alex Reeves Flexstyle Protodome Steve Barry Rozovian Steve Duncan

LOL, funny story to tell you guys about this that i've just uncovered XD Ok, so where do I begin... When I made this track, it was inspired by pendulum, you guys know that much. However, it was inspired by hold your colour, i'm not a big pendulum fan, I don't know shit about most of their other stuff, I'm only familiar with a few select tracks. Anyway, I came up with the name showdown because this was suppose to be the final track against zircon in the GRMRB and I thought the name showdown was appropriate, altho I thought it was a bit crap. Anyway, someone mentioned that they thought it was a reference to a track pendulum did called "showdown". Intrigued by this bizzare coincidence, I looked it up, because i'd never heard of this track before. So upon looking it up, I find a track that not only sounds similar to this remix, but it has fucking FLASH MAN in it. I shit you not, go listen to it. I'm stumped. The coincidence is just monumental. I'm not sure if my brain is playing tricks on me or if some great god up in the sky is having a laugh with me or something but I swear i'd never heard of this track before. Life is bizzare.

More people should get in here, its no fun when room is empty!

Your track was incredible dude, make sure to join in the next GRMRB because I bet alot of people would love you see you compete again

OCRE made himself pretty clear if you ask me. DarkeSword isn't around but I suppose he'll chime in when he gets back.

Guys, GUYS. I understand why some people are annoyed with the outcome of some of these matches (if I had lost like this, I'd have been very annoyed) but its much easier and logical to stick with established rules to decide the outcome of matches rather than break them and risk changing the potential outcome of the compo. Thats what rules are put in place for, a means of settling situations like this with pre-established solutions.

Well Demko voted after the deadline hit, thats why it wasn't counted by SectorZ. You could either wait for a tie breaker vote, not count his votes, or wait for darke to decide what to do next. EDIT: Ninja'd by OCRE

I wouldn't publicize that info yet dude, the votes are still open, it might influence votes from anyone who hasn't voted yet.

From what I can gather from darkes post, OCRE is only dealing with voting tallies, Darke said he would upload the tracks when he got home so I'd say you get the extra time. Besides, he usually gives people benefit of the doubt with getting tracks in, assuming he knows they are working being worked on.

Try again!
