So...for the first few seconds I was like "wtf is up with these samples? Did this whole thread go buy and no one said anything about that guitar sample?" and then after a few seconds I was like "wtf who cares this song is awesome." ThaSauce stamp of approval FOR SURE. I kinda hope OCR takes it too, though . 'Cause this is h0tness.

Criticism, eh? Well it really depends on what you're going for. If you're going for something that OCR is going to take, your completely out of luck. It would actually be a close call on R:TS because of all the direct sample...legal difficulties could arise, and no one ever expects them to, but if they do that's a pretty solid way to get nailed. THAT SAID that doesn't mean this is a bad road to take, just not a very popular one amongst the core arrangement sites. This song is pretty catchy, and I do like the direction you're taking. It's something that I haven't really heard before, and I like it. GENERAL critique I can say: -Background crowd could probably go all together. It serves it's purpose to fill out the soundscape, but there's better options. Nothing that I can really thing of right now, but that's just not working. -That detune saw you're using as the higher lead is no good. I don't know if it's because it's so painfully generic (I hear it everywhere...shit I've used it 100 times myself) or just because it doesn't really fit into the sounds you have going on, but you really need a better lead. It's a step in the right direction, but it's not really working right now. -I do like the drums, but there might a bit of over-use of the block smash sound and the jump. Maybe changing what beats they come in and, or shorten the seconds where they repeat a lot. Generally if anything repeats for too long it's going to get old really fast. You just have to KNOW when to stop using something...get a real feel for it. Overall this is a really chill mix that could be a cool kind of background music sound. Really mellow, good beat, just good times. You really need to expand on THAT, and figure out how to find a better lead than that saw with that in mind. I'm not the best TECHNICAL musician out there, but I know what sounds wrong. SO I hope this helps D:

WORLD = OVER. I actually just REBOUGHT this issue offline because I lost my original >_>. EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD DO THE SAME!

?

Make playlists IMHo. What do people have against playlists now a days? Takes like 3 seconds.

iTunes pretty much scales infinitely. Most media players do. I don't know of many instances where you'll find something display BY DEFAULT more than 300x300 BUT When iTunes pulls album art from the iTunes store, they're 600x600. I checked for multiple songs from multiple CDs, both less known and more well known. So 600x600 is my final answer.

Lyrics, where necessary/possible. That's one of the things I try to do with all the R:TS mixes, and since there's not too many songs that actally HAVE lyrics, it should be pretty easy to add. Lots of media players'll pop something up, or have a little display thing for lyrics, so it's cool to have. Album art doesn't need to be any bigger than 300x300. I don't know if that's the "standard" so to speak, but that's what I see most often. That's just the first thing that comes to mind, though. I'll look and see if there's anything else I'm missing.

If by every game, you mean fucking Super Smash Bros 400,000x. The game room just wasn't as fun this year as it used to be. Too much smash, not enough diversity. <3 the Ataris, though. That shit was HOT

I guess I'll be there.

Pretty much there was a girl cosplaying as Amy from SC4, and I don't think she was in the contest, but she was probably the cutest girl I saw all weekend. Just sayin'.

Notice how the waffles guide the fried chicken to the stomach like a Sherpa.

Ya'know....it's probably about time I start keeping track of mash-ups like this. I have tons, F4T4L keeps sending me them, maybe not an offical submissions like thing, or actual hosting on the site, but at the very least a blog style thing. I'm gonna start looking into how to handle mash-ups for ThaSauce.

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the recording, but that Mega Man 2 cover medley is really....meh. Project X2's stuff is WAYYYYyyyyy better, and most of that is practically a cover. Also: "Don't change the genre." What IS the genre of original video game music? I certainly don't think Koji Kondo wrote the Zelda theme with the intent of it being playing by a rock band....... Kids TO-DAY.

Actual mobile apps seem like a lot of work. SEEM LIKE, anyway. The easier solution is just making a mobile version of the site which is EXTREMELY EASY and a lot more likely to get done. Maybe some kind of fusion of the 2 is feasible.

Time to powerlevel a bunch of characters to 20 for rare presents gooo

lol noob

Why didn't you say something? Edit: As a matter of fact, the filename and ID3 are right, just that one entry is wrong. And by IS wrong. I mean WAS wrong =P

Just thought I should pop in and say this particular song doesn't meet OCR's standards The song is Get It Together by The Go! Team featured on their 2004 album Thunder, Lightning, Strike: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder,_Lightning,_Strike That being said, since it wasn't originally composed for the game, rather made beforehand and incorporated INTO the game, it doesn't follow the standards. I realize no one has suggested THIS SONG be submitted, but I thought I'd say something before someone does so. Good song, though

yeeaaaaaa. It comes and goes, but it's really not all that common. Look on the bright side...when you DO get more time in you will with...4 NEW NETHERWEAVE BAGS. I know. I know. I'm too much, but really it was nothing. Really. The pleasure was all mine.

Kinda of. We don't really "do" albums so much right now, other than that one which was a joke, but we DO host at least one other ReMix project: Preview:

Emphasis on the both, lol. ReMix:ThaSauce'll post this in a jiffy FOR SURE. I don't discriminate on cross-posting songs (I don't think anyone does, really.) I can say that we're generally posting stuff a LOT faster than OCR right now, if that's an issue for you. We can also hold off so that it gets posted at the same time as OCR. I'm flexible =P Quick (dated) overview of R:TS can be found here: http://wiki.thasauce.net/index.php?title=ReMix:ThaSauce I'd definitely recommend submitting this to OCR if you can get it under 6MBs, though. If not, yea we have no size limit on R:TS. And definitely check out DoD and VGMix like JAXX said. Really awesome stuff here, though. Really hope to hear more like it.

Oh, ReMix:ThaSauce would take it IN A HEART BEAT. Probably in both formats. My only beef is the lack of a proper ending, but I'm listening to the MP3 and I'm assuming that's probably because the NSF loops? Which would be an even better reason to host the NSF as well. Maybe you could just cut off the last few seconds of the MP3 version or something. Either way expect to hear from my people sometime soon. Or you can just submit it on your own terms.

Soooooo pretttyyyyy
