  1. Interesting point on whether to make the full rankings public or not. However, if I (a) put them on a separate site/document so you don't HAVE to look at them, and (B) remove the point totals from the rankings, that might help mitigate the problem. But also, hey, there's a lot of talent here. If you put in an effort, you should feel proud of that regardless of how you place. When I first got to OCR I made about 12-13 remixes that were absolutely terrible. 4 got rejected, the others I didn't even bother submitting...

    That's a good idea, giving people the choice of whether or not to look at their ranking. I personally want to see my ranking. If I rank at the bottom, it will motivate me to do better. If I rank near the top, that would be a nice confidence boost.

  2. I like what you got going here.

    First off, the whole song is repetitive and gets a little bland, especially the drums. The mix could use some more variety. I only noticed one change in the drums, when you started the second section. The hi hat sample becomes grating and distracting after a bit. I also feel like the kick could use some more punch to it. If you plan to submit this at some point in time, I think the mix could use more of the source.

    I hope this helps, keep up the good work!

  3. It's no problem at all. Everyone makes mistakes.

    As of now, I'm preparing myself. I guess I'm a little flustered, really. I've been putting it off.. I don't think I can 'compete' with some of the other artists here. I guess that's kind of holding me back right now. I suppose none of you have a dose of self-confidence I could have?

    Well, you can't compete if you don't enter! :wink:

    It's all about the experience for me, whether I win or lose, I'll still grow as a musician.

  4. 1. How do you easily reorganize patters in FL 10? I am looking at the list in the F8 menu on the left, and I see how you can "move up" or "move down" individually, manually, but is there an easier way? Also the list in the F6 menu, but it's about the same.

    I've been wondering the same thing. The keyboard shortcut shown in the F6 menu control+shift+up only selects a different pattern. I tried it in the browser, F8, and I got it to move the pattern, but not always. It only seems to work occasionally. Maybe you'll have better luck.

    I also looked in the help files, and searched on Google, but couldn't find another way. You might get better results asking on the Image-Line forums.

  5. Glad everyone generally enjoys it so far. Some good points here, though now I also have to choose between some contradicting ones. Skrypnyk says EQ and mix it to be quieter, Cash says
    and presence. Wowsers!

    Those points aren't contradicting. EQ isn't really about volume, but more about getting everything to fit in it's place. I said more power, not volume. Making it louder won't necessarily do that, if the parts are clashing. EQ will make the mix feel more powerful, since the parts won't be conflicting and making things muddy.

  6. Very nice work, keep it up!

    My main issue is that it doesn't seem as powerful as it could be, especially for dubstep. I feel like your drums could be stronger, more punch, the volume seems okay. I think this track could benefit from a bass with more wobble, and also more power. I feel like the whole song doesn't have enough presence.
