Wow this is very cool! I'll be sure to buy more ISW stuff someday

The rap battle sounded a lot more interesting.

Wow, this is very good! What sample is the harp? I love how it sounds slightly detuned or something. I don't dig the drums much, I get that you want to achieve a "prog" feel, but they sound so unfitting to me... I think this would sound much better with standard drums instead (like it does after the beggining!). By the 2:20 mark the song feels a bit stale, you could try a tone change or something there. Or maybe mute the percussion and harp for a while and let another instrument take the main spot for a small while, I don't know. In any case, I love the mood of the song. Very unique for such a remixed tune!

Awesome, I'll try to participate this month.

This is a tricky question! Especially when considering my remixes, since I try to experiment in the source's style instead of forcing my own style when I remix. Despite that, I feel this remix represents my style fairly well. My songs are mostly rock/metal-ish with a lot of piano and some progressive elements. Kind of like Marillion but heavier (and not as good!)

I don't think the Wii was sold at loss. Unless you mean a Playstation console, in which case I have no idea!

Yeah, I'll be checking how the Gaikai stuff works because I'm tempted to buy a PS4 but I'm also tempted to finally buy a PS3 and play all the awesome games from this generation!

Launch line-up isn't terribly exciting. If only the PS4 had BC I'd probably buy it close to launch (I never owned a PS3 ).

Mega bump! So, almost a year later I actually reworked this song. I re-recorded the lead sections, changed the pads and almost every sample from the old version. I also did the mixing again from scratch (last time the mixing was very poor!) and stuff. Hakstock recorded the bass section too (back in January, woops), so thanks to him for that! Link here (and in the OP): https://soundcloud.com/jnwake/forever-a-sponge-wire-sponge . I hope to submit this so any feedback is very appreciated. Hope you like it!

Don't fuck around.

We've got some interesting new users lately!

I started when I was around 14 or 15, at the same time that I started to play piano. My first songs were terrible though! EDIT: To give that some meaning, I should point out that I'm 24 now.

Wow this is pretty good. Love the pad at the intro (all of this is built with Zebra?). At the 0:26 section, the lead instrument begins a bit low in volume, but I guess this is intentional since it kind of fixes itself. Kick is quite loud in that section (and in most of the song honestly). I can't hear the bass that clearly, but maybe my headphones take the blame? I love how the 0:52 section sounds. Nice lead! Kick drum may be slightly too loud here too. 1:31 section is cool. Chord progression is a bit risky but I like it. Bass sounds better here but I think it can sound more powerful. Maybe layer it with another bass sample playing the same melody an octave higher? Overall, very cool! Looking forward to how you continue it

This song would fit into zircon's latest album perfectly Nice remix!

Black metal vocals, of course.

Woops, linked the wrong video then! There's another one where he talks about mixing everything in mono.

I honestly have no criticism of this. Maybe you can make the snare sound a bit sharper, it seems a bit low pitched for the song, but that's a very minor thing Very nice song! Blend of the sources was perfect, felt like one connected song.

Nice atmosphere at the beggining. The guitar sounds a bit fake but I love the melody (wouldn't a piano be a better fit?). Flute is really really low in volume. It's the only connection to the source in the beggining, so you should raise its volume. The melody you wrote for it is very pretty. I love the section at 0:44. Section at 0:59 is the weakest of the song imo. Those choir samples aren't very good. Overall, nice song. The arrangement is good, creates a nice atmosphere. It reminds me of a song from Assassin's Creed 2 (but I forgot the name!). Production isn't as strong though. Most instruments sound very mechanical, especially the guitar. Piano sounds very mechanical in its small solo section too...

Hahaha wow those duck noises. They are funny but they drown out the music in some parts of the song I'm not sure if it's the panning or something but the song feels very weak on the center. There's some emptiness that I can exactly explain. In any case, I love the sound of the drums. Production is very clean. Also, the arrangement is very cool. It doesn't matter much outside of the competition but I had a terrible time trying to pick parts from Cold Man. Nice song!

This guy recommends it: .

I loved this one at DoD! I think the arrangement is amazing so I have no criticism there. The acoustic guitar at the beggining sounds too mechanical. The percussions also sound a bit fake, are you using any reverb on them? I loved the leads that you removed... I thought they added a lot to the song. At the very least, you could have additional strings playing the lead an octave higher, just like the old lead did. It adds a lot more depth to the ending.

Happy bday!

I think Sakurai's complaint was that he designed the cutscenes to be a "reward" for advancing in Subspace, but since people were watching the cutscenes online, then they didn't work as a reward as he intended to. I'm too lazy to find the interview where he says that though

I hope we get something similar to Melee's Adventure Mode at least, I love playing Single Player in Smash.

Nintendo didn't hurt Monolith though, so I don't see them hurting Atlus if they buy them. In any case, Nintendo isn't very keen on buying external companies, but this would be a nice grab (and the salt would be hilarious).
