Troyificus

Yes, I will try to get things up to date this weekend.

I believe I can shed some light on this, by providing a little bit of their backstory:
 
   The illegitimate offspring of a 12-person jury and a Dorito chip, Jorito spent much of his childhood convicting marijuana aficionados while simultaneously providing their sole source of nourishment. He had difficulty making friends as many people feigned interest in him solely to satisfy their munchies. But Fate had more in store for Jorito than simply staring out from jury boxes at white people with dreadlocks. Indeed, Fate Johnson introduced Jorito to Rick Astley changing his life and the world forever.      Jorito wanted to be everything Rick Astley was--everything that everyone around Rick Astley was. He started hanging around schools in a tan trench coat and sunglasses, serving alcohol to empty auditoriums whenever school was out. For some reason, the police didn't like this very much and tried to arrest him. He attempted to wall-jump off a chain link fence to escape, but the police still captured him. The convicter became the convicted.      The warden had it in for Jorito. Having lost his mother to unhealthy snacks, the warden took his chance at a bit of revenge placing Jorito in the same cell as the deranged killer, Tuberz McGee. Tuberz had a host of untreated mental illnesses, all of them contributing to his extreme violence. Perhaps most dangerous of all was the violent rage he entered at the sight of uninjured people.      Jorito entered the cell cautiously. The heavily-muscled Tuberz appeared to be asleep. Jorito stepped as quietly as he was able, but a loud crunch sound resulted anyways. He cursed his Dorito heritage. Tuberz awoke to the noise and looked right at Jorito.      "You look yummy. What's you? A 12-person jury or Dorito?"      "Both, actually."      "You mostly look like chip." Tuberz didn't enter a violent rage at the sight of Jorito, despite Jorito being uninjured. Jorito concluded McGee's rage must activate only when he sees pure-blooded uninjured humans.      "So, uh, what're you in for?"      "Man laughed at Tuberz. Man got tubed."      "Oh, well that's uh...uh..." Jorito stammered.      "Then jury convict Tuberz but Tuberz escape. Jury got tubed."      "...An entire jury!?"      "Then another jury convict Tuberz, but Tuberz escape again and tube them too!" McGee's anger seemed to grow with each word. His steady drool turned into a turbulent sputter. His veins bulged and his face reddened.      "You know, I consider myself much more Dorito than the, uh, other half of my parentage..." Jorito hoped his quaking fear didn't show on his face.      "TUUUUUUBE!" Tuberz punched a hole into the wall with steroid strength, ripping out a metal pipe with tremendous force. He proceeded to demonstrate violent "tubing" motions with it, reenacting his myriad murders.      "Uh..."      "Tuberz HATE JURIES," he shouted, unable to contain his rage, before his eyes glazed over and filled with tears, "and.....and juries hate Tuberz. Why they hate Tuberz?"      "I don't know. I, for one, like you a lot."      Tuberz paused his bawling. "You like Tuberz?"      "Yes. I think you have a terrific personality."      McGee appeared dumbfounded by Jorito's claim and stared at him blankly, ".....All of them!?"      "All of wha--oooohhhh....yes, all of your personalities."      "Tuberz like you too. Tuberz help you escape."      "You can do that? How?"      "Tube." Tuberz proceeded to break down the wall with his fists, revealing a chute, probably intended for laundry. Tuberz ripped a hole in it large enough for a person to fit through. "You go in now."      "Hold on. Let's say this takes us outside. What will we do then? If we don't have a plan, we'll just be caught and jailed again."      "We go see my friend, Evktalo. He help."      "Ok, I just hope he knows we're coming."      "He know. He wait for Tuberz," McGee said, before lowering his voice to a whisper, "But Tuberz must warn you something about Evktalo."      "What's that?"      "He completely insane."   (To be continued in Part 2.)
 

Forgive me my ignorance but what does a directorial / co-directorial role actually entail? If peeps knew what they might be getting themselves into there might be more interest in helping out

This is a Mega Man X competition. Elec Man is from Mega Man Classic.

No pressure.

Can I get an extension please my dear HoboKa? I may have something! 
 
**EDIT** Nope, I lied; I've got nothing

Whelp, I'm thinking that my entry is just too darned pretty for this world. Every time I try to export it my DAW crashes and burns. If I have time I might try and export each track in it individually and see if that works, otherwise I'm afraid I shall be entry-less!

*cue With a Little Help From My Friends*

Sure, just PM me your questions.  I'll be happy to share the the little I know about this stuff.
For a few weeks I've been thinking on maybe doing some video tutorials, I've gotten some questions since round 1 and the stuff I know I've learned it from the community or just from the internet.  Maybe it's time to give back.

Gods DAMMIT. I signed into the chat an hour before it was due to start and I fell asleep! I blame the mead....
 
Anyways, thanks to those guys who gave positive feedback to my track, it's much appreciated
 
Also just for the record; dolphins are mammals and can indeed drown  

Listening Party tomorrow?

New voting procedure starting this round!
 
Voters, post your top three remixes in this thread as follows.
Your name First place choice remix name Second place choice remix name Third place choice remix name Your Team Name (if you have one) Team name on the fifth line is new. If you don't have a team, don't include a fifth line.
 
Copy your team name from the first post in the voting thread so that capitalization is consistent.
 
I'm working on getting scores for round 2 and 3 into my tracking sheet. Once that's done, I'll publicize scores and keep the sheet updated week to week.

So basically I can't decide what genre I'm doing so I'm doing all of them. 
<3 

I like this source and am quite happy with where my track is going.

Even better idea: let's have a SFRG Bonus Round where every participant raps/sings over wildfire's instrumental. It'd be like the old vocal VOCR compos haha.

I agree that it's C minor (besides in the dissonant section, where it's less clear). The scale used as the main melody is a minor scale that definitely contains Eb and Ab. Eb major is Ab, Eb, Bb, so we're in the C relative minor, before 1:02. There, it switches to Eb minor, containing Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb. On the repeat at 1:15, it sounds like it should go to Bb to resolve into a Bb relative minor key, but the composer decided to use what sounds like the 2nd in the Bb minor key at that point as the root of a C minor key on the repeat. Seemed forced to me, but ah well.

lol, unfortunately for me I don't really have a sense of direction on which genres I like more or Inspire me more... So I just hop into a OCR radio and let the randomness magic do the work for me.Really helps me out from time to time.

Yeah, I'm a little tied up
 

 
see you in two weeks, hopefully!

I'll continue timaeus' reviews, but focusing on Round 1 first:
 
Wanderforce: Production here is great. I'm not much of a dance/electronica/whatever this is called guy but I dig this. I really like how the pads sound. Regarding the arrangement, I can very easily identify the Antonion usage but Palace Ground (while identifiable) felt underused in comparison. In any case, not much feedback to offer here since this actually sounds pretty great (maybe a tad too long though? haha).
 
Magma Flow: Soundscape feels very sparse in the intro. Probably intentional but it felt a bit boring. Well, actually, not much happens in the track in its entirety... I feel the arrangement lacks variety since the same beat with the same background and slightly different leads gets a bit tiring quick. Production-wise it sounds good if a bit unbalanced in volume terms (percussions are pretty high).
 
Rolling: There's something about the production that feels a bit muted here, a bit hard to explain. It fits with Walrus' theme so maybe it was intentional though! Anyway, this is the first appearance of vocals this round and it's great. Harmonies sound good even if the voices seem a bit tired. I also like the integration between the two sources, very clever and nicely pulled off. Not a big fan of the glitch effects in the voices, don't feel they add anything worthwile tbh. I enjoyed the bass too, nicely played. Some notes and chord progressions in the 2:17 sectin sound a bit iffy but nothing too major. Great job overall!
 
Smoothlike Fellow: I can barely begin writing and this is over. Sigh. The E. Piano and synths sound nice but not much happens in the track sadly.
 
My Beerly Beloved: Nice mood in the intro. I'd have honestly changed the last chord of Blizzard Buffalo's theme and let it stay in the previous rather than following the source to perfection, feel like it would have sounded better for the mood. Voice is pretty cool here too, the effects made it sound dreamy and chilly. Source integration is pretty good here too. Great track!
 
Electric Moves and Cephalopod Grooves: This is way more calm than what I was expecting from SuperiorX, especially with a rocking track like Volt (or Volk?!) Kraken. I don't really like the bass patch used in the song sadly, it lacks punch. Overall I feel the track is a tad too slow (and short!). Source usage is pretty good though.
 
Toxic Seas: I like how the song gains energy near 0:47, very welcome. As pointed out before, the kick is lacking presence, which is key in this kind of music. Snare is also a bit tame. The soundscape gets a bit cluttered near the 2:00 mark with too much stuff going on. Arrangement-wise, Seahorse usage is very very straightforward and Palace Ground is barely there (is it even there? haha). I feel you could've experimented more.
 
Firefly: Intro is sweet, a pretty smart use of Hotarunicus. Production is pretty good (and loud) although I don't like the sound of the hats, seem low quality. Some of the melodies from Palace Ground seem a bit forced here but besides that source usage is good if skewed towards Hotarunicus. This was a strong contender for my third vote, especially for how groovy it is haha.
 
Hidden in the Palace Grounds: Intro is so weird haha, feels like playing some old PC game. I'm not sure what to offer as feedback. I'm not big on melodies being so focused on low tone instruments and the arrangement doesn't have much direction. Production is pretty clean though and it's easy to identify both sources.
 
Bounce Too High: This track stands-out a lot this week! Nice groove at the intro. Synths and bass are damn good too. I really like this track, it's pretty fun and entertaining. I'm a sucker for slap tones. I have to wonder why you didn't ask me to play the synths though (my excuse for not asking anything was being sick btw)! Very nice one.
 
Sigmandrill Palace: This has potential but seems super rushed. Mood is cool and the weaving of the sources is interesting, shame it's so short.
 
Sorry if I sound mean or too nitpicky, I'm trying to be as honest and helpful as I can. I'll post Round 2 impressions later.

It'll take four times the clickiness to compete with death metal. It ain't clicky enough until you think it's popcorn popping.

If you're into UIlleann Pipes you should listen to Nightwish's most recent album 'Endless Forms Most Beautiful'. It's got pipes coming out of it's (metaphorical) ears!

In that order yes, but if it was A; B; C#/Db; D; E; F#/Gb; G#/Ab then it would A major, if that helps at all!
