Thanks a whole bunch to Joseph for pulling this out. He seriously rocked out! I want to go ahead and put this out here so I could get some new ears on the song. The sax sounds awesome, but I feel like I'm so used to the old sax sample that I don't know what sounds good anymore. So yeah. I feel like the chorus' may need more filling out, though. Like another synth or an electric guitar or something. I messed with the mixing since the last version too, so there's that. It's not as loud right now, but that'll be fixed once I can properly master it. https://www.box.com/s/kiw2lco0viq3vg781ygm

I added a youtube link to the first version for those curious to hear it.

https://www.box.com/s/57xp66377r2k33tolrjh Right, right, right. So here's this song again. I just couldn't let it go by without trying it out once last time. I really want this arrangement to get passed onto OCR (it was already rejected by the panel), so I completely redid it up to my personal standards, and tried a few new things. It's a lot better, and honestly much, much better than I expected it. Maybe it could be a little louder or something, but right now I'm more focused on getting this saxophone right. I really want to get a saxophonist on this piece, and think I already have one lined up (but not entirely sure if they're still willing at the moment). Tell me what you guys think. I really like this song at the place it's at right now. There may be a few loudness or production issues atm, I haven't done a lot of EQ atm, but once that's done I feel like it'll be good to go (if I can get a good sax by then). Thanks for listening.

nice birthday dude

I'm pretty sure ours is pretty much finished. I want to see if everything's OK with Cash and Change before I send it over, but if he doesn't get on by three I'll send it out. He did awesome, btw. : D edit: submitted. can't wait to see the results of this thing.

I finally updated this song. I'm debating on putting it on finish or not --- I just gotta figure out a better ending at this point, but I think I'm gonna wait until I get some opinions from you guys about mixing / whatever else is on ya'lls mind. It's pretty much done arrangement-wise though. I only spent about 6 hours on this song overall so it's not the best, but it sure was fun to make.

(I have a song accepted on the judges list, so I think this is OK) http://urdailywater.bandcamp.com/album/far-away Hey ya'll, I've been working on this EP for the past year or so. It's basically a collection of original works and 2 remixes that I've had finished for a while now, and finally decided to release them on this nice, clean, free EP. This is very good chillout music - if you're just wanting to sit around and get lost in some music - this would be good music to do it to. The atmosphere is what makes the songs, and I really tried to focus on that over heavy beats or complex composition. It's all very minimalistic composition. It's not necessarily going to "wow" you, but that's not really the point, either. You'll probably find something you like, though. Take a listen, and be prepared to be taken far away! Thanks to Meteo Xavier for the artwork. Super awesome of you dude! http://www.meteoxavier.com/ P.S. Feel free to donate if you really like the music! I'm just a hobbyist, but you would be supporting a missionary / student in downtown Atlanta, so that would be cool. : D

In celebration of the winter, I decided to start up a Metroid remix. I'm still working on that Tales remix I posted a long time ago (the one where the stupid file got corrupted), but this is something sort of similar to that I wanted to share. I've still gotta figure out what to do with the intro, how to kind of build up to the song. Mixing may be a little awkward too - it's been a while since I've done mixing (or composition) of any sort, so sorry if it's kind of bad. Remix: https://www.box.com/s/vw2v67eumrgnjhamcyaf Source: Enjoy what I have so far. Hopefully this song and the Tales remix will be finished within the next month or so. Just need to actually have time to finish them D:

Why the heck not, I'll sign up as a star. I can do quite a few things pretty well, but I prefer to do chillout stuff more than anything. Atmosphere is the name of my game. Sound design and what not are super fun part of remixing. I also do pretty clean production - I like for everything to be heard well. Also, I've been super big into drum programming lately, so that's cool. FL Studio is pretty much all I use. I don't mind working with whatever - wav files, soundfonts, etc. As long as I technically can work with it I will. Some songs: https://www.box.com/s/lp9yr0fdaunyk0b4obnd (box link just because) (This is an example of me doing something "different")Oh yeah, and we get grouped together, try to schedule a time to work with me please. I've been super busy lately, and my schedule isn't always certain, but usually Saturday, Sunday, and Monday afternoons I'm free to get on skype or whatever.

You can do so much with music dude. Original solos, varying chords, changes to melody, drum arrangement, heck even just adding some atmosphere can do so much for an overall arrangement. Ive passed a 4 minute remix of a six second source on ocremix. Its not as hard as it sounds. Just be creative, i wouldnt worry about it sounding too different honestly. As long as the melody is recognizable, just do what sounds good to you. Its your arrangement after all.

Yay yay yay! Torrenting these now. Totally worth the wait : D

b-b-b-b-but.. does that mean playing Diamond was all a dream? Who am I? What am I?

I know the week only just begun... but the chances of actually getting in a song are looking slimmer and slimmer. Last week was supposed to be my busy week, didn't expect this one to be so busy too.

Finally can't wait to start my song today. I've been listening to a lot of linkin park recently, so expect me to go back to hip hoppish beats this week. Excited.

Listening to them all, just realized my opponent didn't get a track in. That sucks Prophecy, finish your track! Not only is it awesome, but that name is too good. Might try and post mini reviews later this week if it's not too busy.

I see you didn't put anything on mine for some reason, but I'll fill it in for you. "Repetition, repetition, oh, and more repetition." Figured it was better than leaving the track unfinished though. I still like the end result, and will post it here if I decide to work on it anymore. edit: oh my gosh didn't even realize how crowded this track is. geeze this is bad.

To be honest, I was just copying and pasting for the last few hours. Won't really be able to do much else so just went ahead and sent it in. I was hoping to incorporate my opponents theme a little bit better... but I think this will work fine.

Sounds like y'all are coming along nice. Might or might not even get my track in at this point... this week has been super stressful working with very irritating clients. Been busy with some very hard labor and long 13 hour days for the past 4 days so that have also drained my creative brain too :/ Here's to hoping I can finish up something between now and 10:00, though.

Similar things happening here, actually . Just had a job pop up about 5 hours ago, and so now I'm gonna be in Chicago tonight, and will be there until Saturday. I'll have to stay super focused on this song late at night while in that hotel room . But It's already about 30% done, and really once I hit that 50% mark, it'll be smooth sailing from there since almost everything is just production with this song. It's totally different from anything else I've done, and hopefully it won't disappoint anybody who was expecting my usual style and genre.

This summer was pretty meh in terms of shows anyways, so don't fret if you don't get to them. Kokoro Connect and Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita were the most notable things IMO. I heard Tari Tari was pretty good too. Sword Art Online is the most popular thing right now, but I kind of feel like it's a sort of so bad it's good thing. I don't believe people actually like that show. Unless they're just watching it for the MMO nostalgia or whatever. It's still bad. And if you ever got around to Yuru Yuri season 1, don't don't watch S2 for your own sake because you will probably risk having a heart attack on about 20 different occasions. But if you're willing to take the risk, the show is actually really good. Super funny too. S2 beats S1 by a long shot. I'll go as far to say it's a better show than K-ON! in terms of slice of life (But I'm a big fan of yuri humor, too..) Oh yeah, and don't expect too much from the Little Busters anime lol. I mean, there's a chance for it too be super good just because the source, but knowing J.C. Staff it'll end up being "decent" and no more. I don't trust them.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the sailing in Wind Waker yet. Even though I liked it personally. But if you didn't like the sailing you probably wouldn't have liked the game. In Metroid Prime, I don't know why, but I absolutely hate hate hated going back to the Phazon Mines to 100% things. The first time you go through that place and fight the boss is fine, but the area becomes boring fast IMO.

My gosh, I'm already making quite a bit of work with this song. But I haven't found a way to integrate my foes theme yet, hopefully something will work. Funnily enough, considering my usual style and the fact that Frost Walrus is a freaking chill theme, this is gonna be one of my most intense songs yet. Kind of trippy, too. Having a lot of fun right now.
