OCR02532 - Sonic & Knuckles "Doomsday"
Snow Taradien replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mrf, this was rockin, and it had some brilliant, and I mean brilliant moments. But I felt it was a little bit less cohesive than it should have been. -
More please.

wip Final Fantasy 6 - Decisive Battle Orchestral
Snow Taradien replied to khemael's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I really like the idea and what this could be. But The first issue that's pretty glaring to me is the excessive reverb in the piece and the samples used for the high pace of the notes. I like it composition wise, it just needs work. -
OCR02444 - Crystalis "A Tale of the God Slayer"
Snow Taradien replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Damn this is sexy. The Industrial rhythm... The heavy crushing beat. Mmm~ Sweet nectar to my ears~ -
OCR01442 - Chrono Trigger "Door to the End of Time"
Snow Taradien replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Gangara? You can't possibly be seriously hating on the Radical Dreamers soundtrack... Can you? That's a physical impossibility which I refuse to believe exists! Spite for such a ridiculous comment aside, I've always quite liked this arrange, however the pacing sometimes is a bit too slow. -
OCR02320 - Deflektor "Cover Your Light"
Snow Taradien replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is my favourite song on the site without question. -
finished Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambience

Absolutely beautiful work. -
OCR01545 - EarthBound "Home Again"
Snow Taradien replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It is REALLY a shame that the vocals are constrained to the end, because honestly you could have taken this SO much farther. Still amazing either way. -
OCR01277 - Earthworm Jim 2 "Invertebrate Retreat"
Snow Taradien replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is without shadow of doubt, one of the best mixes on site. 10/10 for sure. -
wip F-Zero SNES Port Town
Snow Taradien replied to 2manygentlemen's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
God, when I read the other post I thought it might just be nitpicking but damn is this ever muddy. This is in need of a lot of work, and I think the first thing you HAVE to fix is the synth drum. -
finished Bejeweled 3 "Butterflies" - Remixed beyond recognition
Snow Taradien replied to Mordi's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Wow. This is, amazing. Honestly amazing. I love the sound on this. -
o3o YES a thousand times to the source material. The music in this crazy little super sentai game is just... Amazing! ESPECIALLY area A. Area E was also pretty cool. FFS the stage select was pretty awesome too. This arrange is also really great so far, really kind of gritty and messy, and the guitar could use a TINY bit of cleaning and the synth gets a little too powerful at times during the first part of the song. This one sticks really close to the source material which is great. The direction the song takes at 1:42 is stunning, but again I'm not a fan of that synth yet again. Maybe turn the gate effect down a little... Is this the Impulse VST? Oh and btw a version with just the music is available here:

mod-review She's a Squirter
Snow Taradien replied to Brandon Strader's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Loving the 2a03 esque synths. That "Duty Cycle" is lovely. e-e -
An error is an error. Plain and simple. Because somebody likes a error, it doesn't stop being an error. I try to be as objective as I physically humanly can. I never said I didn't like the pitch shift. I never said I liked it. I just said it was errant. My personal feelings toward it are irrelevant.

Overlooked Remix DOES have some hidden gems. Don't discredit it just because it looks like garbage from the immediate outside. And to go with what they said. From the beginning and the overall vocals, yeah I can see why OLR was a suggested place for this. Its great, or... well, rather, it could be. Here's my main issues. (Objective) *Buried Vocals drowning in the rest of the music (Yes still) *As I said, the vocals are drowning, but its not the levels of the vocals alone. Its everything else being really muddy. This should be a lot cleaner. (Subjective) *Repetitive and rather uninspiring lyrics, and I was having a total Chocolate Rain Flashback after I heard "Everything Is Ice" for the 10th time or so in a row. *Up until the first, I guess you could call it, the first "Chorus" or Bridge or whatever you want to name it (honestly I am unsure) the song feels rather... lackluster to me. This COULD be a fantastic song, but I suggest working on it a smidge. Pay a lot of attention to the levels of each instrument cause its hella cluttered in there.

mod-review DKC2 "No Country for Old Kongs"
Snow Taradien replied to noTuX's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I know I am not a mod. Or anyone important. But I really have to commend you. The reverse note being used as a synth is a very neat way of making the piece stand out. Something that actually really suckered me in. I actually found myself listening to this one quite a few times. Far over the 3 runthrough review count, thats for sure. The phaser effect on the backing synth much to my surprise didn't wear out for me, and added to the overall feel. The only gripe I have is actually coming back to those reversed notes. The ones that start at around 1:56 till the retrigger at 2:13. (BTW I absolutely LOVE that Retrigger you did. *claps*) They seem to be a little bit loud on the end of the note. Other than that I really like this piece. The arrange is pretty neat, and the piano really compliments the synth you have running. -
Pardon? I'm saying it for the same reason anybody else would. That pitch shift is awful in every regard. It would be fine if the note you ended it on was a logical one but instead you leave it hanging somewhere it doesn't belong. No matter the genre that is an error in your piece. I would call it out the same way I would for any other piece. With a blatant error like that... an unwillingness to change, is going to be your downfall. You claimed earlier that dubstep commonly lacks musical values. I assume by this (bold and brazen I might add) statement you mean that simply because you are doing a dubstep track you are suddenly exempt from objective judgement in the manufacture of the song and in feedback responses. If you were going to debate any semblance of a review with little more than a "No." or "This is how it is always going to be." then there was no reason for you making this thread in the first place. To which you should have instead worked on it until complete and submitted to the judges, then complained how they said "No." For all the same reasons we will. Listen up. That pitch shift severely hurts this piece and I quite like the rest of what you have here. We are offering responses. Thats the point. You post your work so we can help you work on it and make it the best piece it can be. We don't make hurtful comments. We don't make foolish comments. We just respond accordingly. Either stop giving "I made it I obviously know better." responses in return, and accept the help. Or quit.

mod-review [Pokémon/Dubstep] Of Men and Monsters (updated)
Snow Taradien replied to Synthony's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Welcome. Its quite sad that a lot of folks don't separate objective and subjective quality more often.
