The other guy? Anyway, my entry is like 95% done. I hope to submit in like 1 hour.

I'm like 20% done haha, this will be a long night.

I have the full arrangement planned but absolutely nothing done in my DAW... It's working time now!

I'm glad Lucario is back, I used him a lot in Brawl. I also expect Mewtwo to be in the game, with all the mega evolutions crap and that.

Yeah, and people can spend a lot on that even for products that they'll never use It could be a good business for them but one I don't really care about. Hope they don't leave the traditional console business.

So I'm progressing now, I just accelerated the rhytm a bit and my song idea turned out nicely! Hope Brandon is progressing too

Yeah, this is very loud. Do some experiments with less compression and see how it goes. Raise the volume of your speakers sometime! Anyway, is it just me or is the flute sample you use at the intro a little out of tune? It sounds really weird to me.

Embrace the Night is very pretty, I loved it in DoD. The weird effect you did on the vocals bothers me a little though (especially on the first verse), I feel it would work better if the clean vocals were louder there. In any case, it's a minor nitpick since you really nailed the folk-ish metal style for the song! Also, in the part of the chorus, I think you should cut down the sss sound of your singing part (I know there must be a better term for it but I guess you get what I mean), it's a tad distracting.

Nice guitar tone! I really like it. The intro gets a bit too loud, I think the choir sample should be quieter. The arrangement is nice but I don't think the synth you picked helps much. It's a bit hard to understand what it's playing and makes the song feel "melody-less". Maybe you could add a simpler synth and layer it so that the melody is easier to pick up? You could also add some variations in the second repetition

This is chill! Panning seems a bit unbalanced... Not sure why though, maybe the E. Piano could be louder? Or is the bass panned? In any case, this is sounding good. Maybe the vibraphone could be a tad quieter, to make the rest of the instruments stand out a bit more.

Haha don't worry, I'll submit something! I was working on something on Sunday but I'm not sure of it because it was TOO SLOW... Sonic wouldn't approve.

I haven't progressed much on mine really. I've been tired ;_;

Step 1: Download MIDI files for both sources. Step 2: Open MIDI files in DAW. Step 3: Randomly intercalate sections of both sources, it doesn't matter if they don't fit. Step 4: Grab some awful synth presets and put them on your MIDI tracks. That's it!

You want some trash talk? I'll kick your Butt... Zone... Hill? Yeah, that.

This is pretty good! I love how you included your reasoning for the mixing decisions. On the positives, I like how you mixed the snare. It sounds pretty powerful. You also did a pretty good job with the guitars and cymbals. However, I wonder why you don't give more love to the bass... I realize this particular song has quite a low tuned guitar, but bass could be a lot more noticeable. For example, cutting the Kick and boosting the bass in some low frequencies to make it stand out. Or, adding some distortion. When comparing your mix and the original, I feel the most noticeable difference is in kick and bass. While your mix has a very clicky kick, the original one has a more balanced and powerful one. Maybe some boosting in the lower frequencies could help! Also, for the click in the Kick, one frequent technique is to make a separate track for that. You send the Kick signal to that track and only leave the "click frequencies" there. It's a bit easier to mix imo.

I learned the notes to my song yesterday so I'm ready for this!

Oh crap Umm, well I'll listen to the other songs and maybe claim something in the future...

To be posted one, I wouldn't highlight getting a mix in the judging queue The song that interests me is the Non-Adept Battle by the way. I hope that one is from the first game...

So, are themes not on the list remix-able? I've been listening to the tracks and there are some cool ones not listed there! I'm not posted yet but I'm on the queue, does that count?

Considering the current mobile push, I think rumors of a new console by Nintendo would actually push the stock down instead of raise it I'm too lazy to search for it but NeoGAF has a thread where the guy that began that rumor said he has no idea who told him the specs or something like that by the way.

The only problem is that they built the whole OS based on the GamePad. And it's pretty clear by now that Nintendo isn't that good in making OS so I don't see them dropping the GamePad soon.

Nice! This is pretty cool especially since I recenty bought some of your ISW patches

Yep. I'm wondering the same stuff. Especially the open tracks.

Game patches and updates are downloaded automatically on the Wii U, you don't have to get them on the eShop... Pikmin 3, for example, has been patched a couple times.

I just hope Nintendo doesn't go super crazy and drop the console. I bought this mainly for Smash!
