I'm currently working on an electro house type remix of the switch palace theme, so it's cool to hear more Super Mario World! I think this is well done and definitely a fun listen. I liked how you put in the ghost sounds. And I'm feeling that spooky vibe. I agree with timaeus about the kick. My other critique is that the remix feels a bit sparse, I think it would benefit from more layers. Also, I think some of those ghost house sound effects were overused. Though house is supposed to be repetitive, so not really a huge deal.

I agree with timaeus, especially his comment about that resonance. It hurts my ears a little bit. I also find it a tad repetitive, but not a deal breaker. The snare started to become distracting to me, I feel like it has too much of a splash sound to it. Aside from that, it's sounding good.

I'd prefer 32, 48 is a bit crazy if you ask me.

Unless you win the coin toss. That is if SuperiorX is willing to overlook the fact that you only posted one pick (one theme 5 times still only counts as 1). There might not even be a coin toss.

I'll get in on this. 1. Marble Zone (Sonic 1) 2. Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic 2) 3. Emerald Hill Zone (Sonic 2) 4. Aquarium Park (Sonic Colors) 5. Spring Yard Zone (Sonic 1)

Happy birthday! I hope you have a heroic day!

This thread is giving me didn't go to MAGFest depression! So many great pictures and videos of cool people have lots of fun. I want to go next year so badly! I'll do my best to make it happen.

Aside from the next Smash Bros, I haven't been keeping track of gaming related news. Honestly I haven't payed much attention to upcoming games in a long time. Too many disappointments after being hyped up about games. I generally wait until someone I know recommends a game, or an internet source that I trust. I've bought several games based on Extra Credits recommendations and when they do the "games you may not have tried" segments. I also find that I have similar tastes to Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation. Occasionally I'll check out a game played on Game Grumps as well. I guess my point is I generally don't get excited about games until after they are released and other people play them first. I'd rather avoid the hype if at all possible.

I didn't go to MAGFest, but I found a recording of OCU on twitch http://www.twitch.tv/magfest/b/492376776. You have to go to the 1 hour, 13 minute mark. Great performance. By the way, cool pictures, Chimpazilla. Looks like it was a blast!

I managed to find a recording of OCU's performance on twitch, you guys were awesome! (For anyone else who missed it, here's the link: http://www.twitch.tv/magfest/b/492376776. You have to go to the 1 hour, 13 minute mark to get to OCU) You looked like you were having a ton of fun, Amy. You all looked like you were having a ton of fun. I would have loved to have been there. I especially enjoyed the cover of the Wind Waker remix, I loved those vocals, Amy. The whole set was great, OCU! By the way, Andrew looked like a badass when he took off his outer shirt. Actually, you all did the whole time. Same here, though I've only been on OCR for about 2 years. I'm going to make every effort to get to MAGFest next year.

Thanks for the link! Super Guitar Bros are streaming live right now. I managed to find a recording of OCU on Twitch as well. Awesome. PS: Thank you internet.

I'd watch that.

In the last Talkback DarkeSword said there will not be a Talkback today because of MAGFest.

Happy Birthpocalypse! I hope you had an awesome day!

Nice, I just found it. I wish I knew about this earlier! @Amy, really awesome video of Insomniac Skies! The remix is great as well.

Ooh, a music video! I'd love to see that! By the way, sorry to hear you have PTSD. I hope you get it sorted out.

Hi! I really enjoy what you have so far. I'm looking forward to hearing more. The main thing that jumps out as an area for improvement is the solo trumpet in the beginning, it sounds a bit mechanical to me. The trumpet in the last section sounds much better with all the other layers. As you mentioned, the levels are off. It's overall a bit quiet, the section between 1:26 and 1:43 is especially quiet. Other than that, well done. The end section starting at 1:44 is my favorite, and the buildup to the section is great as well. Awesome remix so far!

Happy birthday!!! I hope you enjoyed your day!

The first issue that sticks out is the percussion. The kick doesn't sound very good, sort of like too much thump maybe? Also, the snare is too weak. And as soon as the bass comes in, the kick gets buried. As for the bass itself, the little wobble doesn't fit with the rest of the soundscape. Also, the wobble itself isn't done well, it sounds strange to me. I don't like the sort growl sound it has to it. The random glitching that occurs in the song feels out of place. For example, the glitching at 1:18 and 1:20, it doesn't really work. It feels sort of thrown in. In addition to the glitching, there are two points where the song basically stops dead for a second. At 0:31 there's a cymbal but everything else drops out. Then at 1:02 everything drop outs for about 1 second right after that kick, it's a jarring effect. Dropping everything out for an instant can work if the song goes into a higher energy section immediately after. However, your song maintains the same energy level, so it feels out of place and a bit jarring. The orchestral sounds, the strings in particular, seem alright to me. I'm not a fan of the sine wave synth you added, I'm not feeling it. The arrangement sounds similar to the source, but you've changed it up. It might be too liberal, I'm not familiar enough with the source to say for sure. I think overall this is pretty good, but sounds unpolished. I hope wasn't too harsh. My comments are just my thoughts while listening, so if you disagree no problem. I hope my comments will be of some use.

Very well done. The only issue I noticed was that when the song gets more intense, I hear excessive ringing in the higher frequencies. A little bit too much resonance, which is apparent especially at the 1:30 mark. Other than that, very relaxing.

Happy birthday avaris! I liked your music in the FFCC! Hope you had a good day!

Congrats Mr. Pretzel! Awesome news!

My goal for this year is to finish more remixes. The only time I seem to be able to finish remixes is during competitions. I tend to start a remix and get stuck at one part because it's not sounding right, then never finish it. I just need to push myself to complete a remix even if it sounds bad. My other goal is to make a remix that I feel comfortable to submit to the judges panel. I've only been remixing for about 2 years, so it might be a lofty goal. ^this

Oh, I see, that makes sense. I use FL Studio, I've never actually counted how many I use for a particular project.
