Oh yeah? Hahah... That stinks.

I loved Blue Dragon. It felt like I was playing Final Fantasy again for a minute. Shimmers of brilliance. I loved it. And it will give me an excuse to remix the boss battle theme with better vocals, no diss against Gillan, but what the heck dude where you sing go.. where you sing go???

I was just reading an article about Nobuo Uematsu where he said his favorite arrangements are those he made for Blue Dragon, the 2007 xbox360 rpg. But before this it was probably FF9. Hope you all are doing well with your WIPs!

The story was pretty strong up until you hit Gran Pulse, but then there's very little motivation to keep going, it's just a lot of grinding which after 30 hours of linear grinding, is really discouraging. This is why I haven't finished the game yet.

He needs a large sig cause he's compensating for something very very small

Seconded! ! !

Bill Cosby's got better things to do than acknowledge some retarded internet auto-tune trend. Just kidding, he ignores it because he has no computer knowledge. Remember how old he is? Yeah, he can't use computers. Heck, he doesn't need to, he's rich. He can pay someone to use a computer for him.

huh lol i took the s out of horses

Soon, my friend... soon!

There's a few memorable songs in the DKC series and I think they got really fantastic remix treatment. But yeah it's mostly poo

A dumber me would have taken that as a challenge, then the next day I would be called ManBearPig. Everyone would make fun of me, and Larry would refuse to change it back.

I was an inch away from adopting ManBearPig as a new permanant handle

EVERYONE gets that joke? South Park has 6.5 billion viewers??? OMG!!!

I didn't change the motherboard, I just installed a new 1TB hard drive. And I didn't have these problems on Windows XP with the same software so I'll see if it persists after I register

You're thuper therial!

I was watching the news last night, and it said Brush Fire was responsible for the destruction of a local family's house. Shame on you, sir. Shame on you. (P.S. 700th post foo!)

Windows 7 has been pretty nice for me so far, but I don't use it on the internet. I've been having a "systemconfiguration" change that nullifies all of my registered programs in the registry. Meaning I have to update the serials for all of my programs when it happens. I don't know what is causing it, something about the "hardwarefingerprint changing" Note it may be worth noting that I am using a "trial" version of Win 7 that hasn't been activated yet

I'm up for doing it with instruments. It could end up being really good. If there's anything specific you'd like to hear in it or any ideas regarding the structure, let me know. An acoustic intro could be nice leading into the heavier guitars. Stuff like that.

Automation is nice, I am happy to hear you guys are working on it, though I do think having remixer verified accounts would be very helpful as far as automation is concerned. I mean you could automate it to somehow post the submissions from the email but email is susceptible to so many "spams" that would be eliminated by remixer flags in our accounts that allow us to upload.. I am very happy you read through all that despite not finding too many useful ideas, but thank you.

Suggestions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they all stink. Here is mine. As you can see from the drawing, the user will log in on their verified remixing account. The account will be verified in any number of possible ways. The most basic way is they can apply for remixer status. If someone "abuses" the system in any way, they will lose their remixer status, and will not be able to upload to the site. After the verified remixer submits their MP3, it goes through a brief uploading phase during which the song transfers from their computer to an online server. The song will only exist in this area until it has been judged, which, for this new system, should not take more than a day or two per song. Keep in mind that the judges will still consider the song the same way they did before, yet the focus will be more on the votes -- yes or no, which will add up to a total of 10 votes before the voting is completed. Judges can post feedback during the judging period, and AFTER the judging period, allowing the artist to receive feedback even after they succeed or fail. If a song fails, the MP3 will be removed but the page will be archived and will be searchable and able to be posted to in the future. Similar to the current archive of judges decision threads that lead back to the early year 2000s. A good addition to the user's submission page is the ability for regular users -- verified remixers or not -- to add comments and feedback of their own. In addition to the judge's feedback, this additional user feedback will be a great asset for artists. Tabs like "Description" that appear under the user's title and mp3 preview will be expandable if you click on it. Within the tab will be the user's submitted description that they typed along with their submission. Here are a few of the assets of using this new system: --Much faster response for artists who submit their work --Cuts out the bloat --Split decisions will no longer hang the judges -- their feedback will be in addition to their vote. They should simply vote and write feedback to the best of their abilities without considering the thoughts of other judges unless it's specifically necessary. The point of the judges will be to accurately critique the flaws or assets to a track without being influenced by other judges. --Songs like Rhymes with Elixir would need a majority of yes votes to pass out of 10 possible votes. Feedback wouldn't be necessary similar to the currently existing Rhymes with Elixir judgement thread. --The queue would still exist, but it would in a TANGIBLE FORM. Instead of titles listed from 2008 that nobody even knows if they exist anymore, there would be a page you could visit with the mp3 and its voting progress. Needless to say the new system would take less than a few days, there would be no mixes from 2008 just sitting there. If a song is going to pass then the judges know the moment they hear it. They know at this point if a hi-hat is too loud, but if that isn't worth failing a song over. They know when to request a resub, and they know when a song won't pass. This is an attempt to speed up the process based on obvious experience. It seems like most of the delay in the judging process stems from an assembly line with gears that don't turn simultaneously. One gear might turn, then stop, and a week later a gear further down the line will turn. With this new system, all gears should be turning simultaneously and the system should flow smoothly. Thank you for hearing my proposal.
