You can. It's just feedback, insofar as you don't rage about it.

Or... http://www.clickhole.com/article/summary-gamergate-movement-we-will-immediately-cha-1241 Seems just insulting to tell someone how to properly do something wrong.

Keep it up! Still excellent work as usual. Your ear for harmonies and flow are impressive.

MOAR OVERDRIVE!

Sounds sardonic to me. uhwhat, no philosophical distinction between these two? Kant does not approve

...Belltree?

Hehe, this was from over a year ago. It was kind of an experiment to see where the OCR bar was. Turns out the difference between the rejection and the YES was mostly the hard knee compression being fixed. =P (I definitely agree with Dave and Larry with the major nitpicks)

A construct for modernization.

Major props on all those custom video thumbnails!

Well... Okay, so I looked up the song that they claimed was theirs. They ripped straight from ' '. Here's what happened---they ripped the remix, renamed it to Steel Shadows-Farewall (Original Mix), did whatever with it to license it (maybe), and made the copyright claim. Of course it matches, because the audio is exactly dead-on. Scam. Sounds like a scam.Here's what I emailed the company (Timo.Reiche@kontornewmedia.com). Even if they don't reply, it's not something I need to worry about, though I am pretty annoyed that they're trying to uphold a false claim (out of like 10+ total), having gotten away with it for over a year now.

This is weird. I looked at two of my YouTube videos yesterday, and, not that I care too much that it's the case anymore, but some company called "Kontor New Media Music" claimed that I used their music in those two videos. I don't even know who they are, but they claimed that Sixto's remix called 'Twin Blood' from Double Dragon II sounded like one of their songs, "Steel Shadows-Farewall (Original Mix)". Um, what? I disputed both claims, stating specifically that I gave credit in the proper way to Sixto and OCR (i.e. I gave enough info to locate the remix by copy+paste in google or youtube). Anyways, they just denied the claim and maintained that what they designated as infringement was 'right', even though I've never heard of their music. "Original Mix"? I suspect dubstep or hip hop So I checked out who other people thought they were. https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/youtube/GQTDAGj0zXA Anyone got any insight into them and how... genuine they may or may not be?

Well... actually, we at OCR would recommend licensing it first... The people who 'get away with it' haven't gotten caught, they licensed somehow, or they got permission and they're paying royalties.

I think the rubato in the notes helped with the realism already, but the sample seems to not have a lot of velocity layers. If you can get one with more, then after some adjustments to how drastic the velocity variation is (i.e. if the range is 50~80, then try 40~80), it can intersperse some softer-toned notes in between some harder-toned ones. Right now there's a lot of hard-toned notes, which leans towards 'plunkiness' (hitting notes hard with one finger).

Two major issues arise for me: fullness and development. Your levels seem fine for the most part, though the lead at 0:48 - 1:02 seems pretty thick and is covering up the details on your C64-esque arp and the meatiness of the bass (you're left with its boominess). 1:04 is missing a transition of some sort; a reverse cymbal perhaps, or a rising sweep, followed by a regular cymbal or sweep. It's already somewhere there, but I can barely hear it. Additionally, it would be nice if the drums changed there (at least the snare) simply because it switched meters to halftime. The clappy snare seems to fit less and less the more I hear it in the halftime context. The 2:10 fake-out was kinda odd to me, and can be smoother somehow. Also, it might be fairly obvious, but what is with that big hit at 2:51? It's so random. Lastly, the piano portion after 2:10 felt overly long as it is right now (with little development), and can use some textural development or less "plainness" by the time you get to 2:34 or something. Overall, the weakest portion of this arrangement is easily after 2:10. Lots of what came before that was pretty good already, and isn't quite as problematic. Whatcha got in store for that?

Man, those harmonies are just tastefully done, especially at 1:20 - 1:36. The bass is pretty spot-on too at 2:24. <3 The 12-hour shoot was wayyyyyy worth it.

Aw yeah. Vinnie's right. This is totally catchy, and not just in the subjective sense either. There's just something inherent in the way the notes written that makes it so accessible. It's Beast. Or Legendary. Or something.

I'm all over dis.

Yeah, there's somehow a lot of reverb on the kicks, and the toms are muddying things up a lot. The mixing overall sounds a little overcompressed and overboosted in the bass. o.o

No. Remember FF6? How it's a five-disc album? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ocremix/an-epic-5-disc-ff6-fan-album-from-oc-remix-take-tw

It'd help to listen for if what you are doing is actually noticeably different. If it isn't, perhaps reconsider it.

Yeah, it's hard to notice it. When you change key abruptly, the 'jazz' mentality is to change again, and then eventually return back to the original key or stay in the new key.

Nah, I mean 1:24 (though it seems the key change at 1:31 was awkward too; I didn't look at that earlier, and it seems you went up a half step overall).

Is it at 1:18? I can imagine that working now, and I think it's really close. It's just one of those situations where you accidentally did something cool, but made it about halfway through the coolness. I would be expecting another "key change" at 1:24. I'm thinking of something like .

Don't forget to import your OWN vocal samples, pitch them down, and sound LOW! It's going to sound wicked next to your sick, tasty beats!
