http://www.soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/top-percentile-johto-battle v3 I could go on about how annoying it is to go over a song more than once, but that's music I guess. :B

http://soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/top-percentile-johto-battle-d Version two. I'm hoping that this one is better. Also, I feel I might still be holding back a little in terms of instrumentation.

http://soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/top-percentile-johto-trainer I think I did it.

http://soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/hydrocity-zone-remix-wip Something small I found myself working on the other night. Just trying to get a basic idea down. Figured I would get some tips here. I think I wanna take it even further. Any thoughts?

I like where this is going, but it definitely needs some work. As previously stated, the piece needs some humanization. The guitars in the beginning need some variation, as well as some reverb. Those kicks get a little scattered too. For something with a little more punch to it, try some layering, mess with the EQ and volume and see what you like. This is a nice direction you're going with this song. It's been a while since I've heard an arrangement of Gerudo Valley. The synths seem fine to me, just the execution needs a bit of work. Keep going though, I'd love to hear this one finished.

I've never tried out this thread before... I think It'd e a cool idea to see this song remixed. Now, I am aware that this game was released (officially) today, so if anyone does decide to take this remix on, there's no worries. Style? Hmm. I think a good one for this would be some hard Electro House. What do you think?

Lol, think I'm gonna take the drums up more and add to them to make this more intense. This is all great stuff. Thanks so much for the feedback!

http://soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/johto-batteru-v3 Trying to get a better idea of an intro for this one. I think this works a lot better.

Thanks so much for the feedback. Yeah, I wanted this arrangement to have more of a calming feel as opposed to the atmosphere it usually carries. I'll be sure to add in some more of my own flavour to it in the next version. I'm still deciding on whether or not I want to submit this when it's done. I'd really love to make this mix the best it can be though.

Finished. I fixed the leveling and I have to say that this is one of my best dnb so far.

Wonderful, wonderful sounds here! I love this arrangement. Not many people try to get very creative with this song, but you've definitely got it down! I really enjoyed the chord progression in the beginning of the song. It makes you feel so at peace. I hope to see this again soon as a submission. Top notch work here.

http://soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/johto-batteruv2 Got this done faster than I thought. I'm hoping this isn't too bad.

Thanks for the crit so far, anyway! Anything at all helps, really. I'll be sure to post up a newer, more complete version soon.

Fixed the link. It should work now.

http://soundcloud.com/yannick-jason/johto-batteru_wip ^FIXED LINK^ Just a little something. I hope to get it done soon. Let me know what you guys think!

Good. I would love to see where this one goes.

I like the sad feeling of this song. I also like that it's a piano arrangement. You've got some good progressions going on here. Not much that I can say is bad here, there are very few songs like this that I've critiqued that are badly composed. You definitely know what you're doing. Is this song finished, or are you planning on adding more? Either way, I like what is done. Keep it up!

EQ is definitely something I have trouble with. I'll be sure to fix that in my next update. Thanks for the crit, man.

Thanks for the comments guys! Be sure to keep an eye out for the full song on my upcoming album.

This is a hard one. Believe me, I've been trying. I definitely think it must be done vocally. I'll be on the sidelines, working away...

https://www.box.com/s/abe8dae93707e5b4333c Another update. To be honest, I'm starting to hate the entire execution and feel I should just start over...

Alright, will do! I'll be sure to stick around to do some voting too!

Updated. Its the same link, I just changed the file. I didn't like that it was a loop instead of a full song, so I've been working on it for the past little while...

Is it still too late to join in on this glorious comp? *I feel as though I just missed it...*

It's got lots of potential, just not the best execution. Follow what PokemonEinstein said; he knows his stuff. One thing I've learned doing orchestral music is that you can't rely on one VST's samples, nor can you go through a song once and call it done. When you finish a song, wait a few hours afterward and listen to it again. See if you can find anything you really want to change and go back to it. Also, your own personal flare is important; make the song your own and throw in some new elements. Hope I could help a bit. Keep going!
