[Doom 2 - The Demon's Dead - Metal remix]

Sounds great, very original!

[Quake 2 - Big Gun cover (with vocals)]

Finally some quake love!

Liking the the industrial sound!

The vocals and the lyrics sound very well meshed, and the guitar tone sounds smooth and fitting!

I will give another listen when I get some listening gear hear.

I know right! Those Quake songs are so good!

Thanks a lot man!

[Quake 2 - Big Gun cover (with vocals)]

I covered the song Big Gun from the Quake 2 soundtrack. I probably won't submit it because I don't think it works with the strict guidelines.

Check it out.

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

Most stupid thing I ever heard

You are just proving my point and furthering my example that you're being a rude elitist.

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

I had to post here again in light of seeing how rude you guys are being with your criticism. Saying not to accuse professionals in your own weakness? Saying it's cheap and boring? I'm sorry but that is not helpful, and that is not the issue at hand. He was having them look into the technicality of why it was NO'd, which was because of the source material.

I would hope that the veterans here would be more constructive and helpful rather than trying to run people off. Help the community grow rather than looking down your nose.

This echoes my thoughts pretty much exactly (except maybe "best of good"... not quite sure what that means haha). You got No'd. So what? I've been No'd too. Not a big deal. Learn from it and move on. The most important part of the statement is not being shy or afraid to ask for help, and perhaps even more important is remaining humble in the process. Getting mad at other people isn't going to help the situation, it's only going to make people return the favor. I hope to hear more from you and track some progress, because I'm quickly finding out that there's a LOT to learn. And everyone really is willing to help, as long as you have the right attitude.

Best of good

[Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) - Piano Redux]

The soundcloud link doesn't appear to work for me.

[Progressive Metal Instrumental - Wither ? ?]

Should've known it was you that was posting something metal!

Very nice indeed. Again, love your guitar tone.

[The Stalwart Deserter (chiptuney-ish)]

I enjoy chiptune stuff, and this has a good groove to it. Nicely done.

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

It doesn't really matter whether an artist knows or doesn't know if a source tune was originally written for a game. Just because the artist doesn't know doesn't mean we just toss out our rules. Otherwise, we'd post every mix of that Mortal Kombat techno theme.

That said, a community project to make a list of VGM tunes that aren't commonly known as not being originally written for a game would be a handy reference tool.

Yeah I understand, and I appreciate what you posted.

I was just saying it's not really the submitter's fault for not knowing, and to say it was a mistake he should learn from is pretty odd.

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

If you want a bit of a guide on which Doom tracks to arrange for the site and which to not, perhaps this and this can serve as guides for you. Don't let the decision discourage you; just learn from your mistakes and move on

Most of what you said explains what's going on... except for this. How was that his mistake? He wasn't told during submission, and there was no clear guide or warning about the song before submission. If it's not going to be allowed, that's one thing, but don't blame him for it.

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

If it wasn't that, then they should've/would've said. It was because

The source isn't original to the game. After the projects were released, Dave decided we shouldn't let remixes of certain doom tracks go through.

Level 10 is a cover of Black Sabbath - After all (the dead):

Perhaps the judge didn't elaborate, or you just got unlucky.

I think it's more than if it was a Black Sabbath cover or not. The intro's acoustic guitar(?) seemed to have a bit too much reverb and was then a bit muddy. The kick drum from 1:30 - 1:46 could be toned down because at that point it wasn't metal just yet. Also, maybe the structure of the song seemed too similar to Black Sabbath and maybe the judge just happened to have little patience or something.

Mazedude's remix had a good feel to it, but it also "barely" made it through; one of the comments said it had a good intro and end, but overall it was "okay".

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

Oh and it looks like OCRemix also put through a remix based on the same song (The Demon's Dead) http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00987/

[My Doom - The Demon's Dead remix]

Yeah I came on here just to mention that OC Remix hosts Dark Side of the Phobos which has remixes that could also be said are not the "original source" yet they host the whole cd of them. Why then is this remix denied, but it's ok for those ones to be there (Hangarmageddon anyone?)?

This remix should be reconsidered since they already have songs up from doom that had rip offs of famous riffs (not covers like the rejection says, rip off of particular riffs that don't even have all the same notes)
