Phonetic Hero

Hell yes, to all of this Thanks pal, I'm honored! Stay tuned

I second what Rexy said, except about THIS post

Lol dude, Bahamut commented on it... he hates it. Just like everything in this compo. It are SUX EDIT: And everyone should just put a bunch of fucking smilies after everything they post so nobody gets offended :) D:

Pfff ok Emu I can dig that. So are we making a fan made Mega Man game with a crazy-ass soundtrack or what? Edit: Oof, that crack came off a bit harsh. Wasn't trying to sound like a butthole. I apologize for being such a DICK

I felt smooth last week (See: Smooooooooooooth Oper8r (Supe, don't get on my case about reusing this )). Time to move on. Something dirty should suit. Like Dirts McGirt. With loads of glitching and chordal complexity/passing tones just to piss off MindWanderer

FFPPPFFF!! Neko, how do you not like this song?! Already mixed it, and with 3 other sources from MM8 (and is currently on the panel...). So, I'll be stepping up to keep the current order for Teh M3G4 Ballerz. Charge Man, trains, head biscuits, 'n all that good shit. Just got back, ready to listen to the new batch. Butt I herd they're pret gud?

Ecto you're a fucking DICK andihateyou Love, Pete

I voted; I'm short on time, but I still want to review at least my top 3 Sheepy Sleepy Electricity Shleepers - I'm not normally much for the ambient, atmospheric musix, and it IS a long one, but this really kept me interested throughout. The melodies were utilized and expanded upon appropriately, and the chords are still interesting, and there's enough movement in the back with teh arpeggios and stuff to keep the thing moving. Ultimately, the attention to detail is what sold it for me; Ecto's use of small glitches/gating and filtering for transitions kept me wondering what was going to come next. Great work, very enjoyable. (Also, the piercing synths don't bother me atm because my headphones and computer speakers blow ass, and unless I'm mistaken, I DID hear a better mixed version earlier in the week ) Riding the Avalanche - Fucking. LOVE. Orchestrations. Most of the time, when people do an (incorrect) orchestral mix, they just transcribe an electronic mix to an orchestral ensemble, which sounds like poopass. You've done a GREAT job of keeping the orchestral feel, very complex and interpretive, as it should be. I'm jealous of your means to do orchestral pieces, because I love the style but lack the sample power and recording know-how to execute it well. So to sum it up, NICE work keeping the orchestral feel while integrating the sources. Dig it!! Sting Operation - Hot damn if I wasn't snapping along to this thing by the second listen through. Normally I'm not much for synth brass either, but you incorporated it really, really well. It felt like a Super Nintendo synth, and I'm a total sucker for ANYTHING Super Nintendo. The drums are particularly sexy. Feels like some hot, dirty 90's hip hop. Saweeeet! Time for drumline, pH out!

...Oop!

I hear the drum sequencing is pretty sexy... even though it wasn't finished by last night WHEN IT SHOULD'VE BEEN

One more time from me: HIT UP THE WIP FORUMS!! I was in the same boat when I started out a few months back (late May), and I learned a bunch from people there. And it's pretty clear I still don't know everything, which is why these compos are great too. Especially when you're teamed with Rozo

hahahahahahahahaha

No problems on my end

he's shown he... He's shown he...?! WHAT MAN?! I'M SO F&@#ING CURIOUS

Bee Man* Darke was VERY clear about the rob't names.... I am disappoint

Oh yeah that's right, there's a piece of art titled "The Wicker Man" that doesn't make me want to rip all my hair out, make it into a pretend pet dog, and set it on fire Way to be, Iron Maiden

Wheeee music theory!!

Ohhoooohooho, Iseewatudidthar

Harmonic minor I dug it geoffy, 1 part interp, 1 part sexy; good alchemy formula!

I second that. Great work! Tons of GrossBeating... I dig it a lot. Next time, have some fun with the plug-in; as an abuser myself, I'm hearing lots of presets. I recommend lots of stairs and half sines Not saying it's bad, at ALL, but seasoned GrossBeaters are going to hear the presets Then again, zircon used at least one in Ashes to Ashes, so I suppose you can get a way with it pH

Sounds like you're taking this shit too seriously Stop worrying about pleasing everyone and just try to improve yourself; if you've made a piece you're happy with, no one can take that away from you People obviously didn't like my chord progression choices and use of chordal tension and such, and I was a little butt-hurt at first, but you know what? I like my mix, and I enjoy listening to it, and I'm learning a lot and developing my style more (which is a process that I don't expect to EVER stop, and I want to be a composer after college). I don't really care if people don't vote for my mix anymore, because I gave it my all, and I personally am happy with the results. You don't like dissonance? Fine, but I'm going to keep writing complex chordal structures. You want rock and lots of solos? Fine, I'm probably not going to switch to that style just to please people. People are focusing too much on the critiques that upset them, when really, it's nothing personal. And if there's something in the critique that you see will help you improve, take it, instead of taking offense. Yeeeee, that about sums up my feelins; it's hard to heart-to-heart!

Less complaining, more reviewing...
