Guitars are a little thin and muddy at the same time. Drums a little too weak (though the samples are fine, it's just they disappear in the compression behind the guitars), bass is much too weak. I'm a sucker for dry production though. Lead is fine. Glad to see someone else tackle this, I haven't gotten around to working any more on my wip from 2008 or so.

In that case it's 4 relatives.

Some suggestions/nitpicks: "aside from the sequel to that first Duck Tales game". "even for being as old as he is" -> "even for his respectable age" "His most notable recent appearance was in Kingdom Hearts 2, in which he is said to have helped King Mickey develop the space transit system which links the worlds together, and a fondness for sea salt ice cream." "he actually has two famous relations" sounds like he's had sex in public - twice. Are you an uncle "to" or "of" your nephew? "Though initally unenthusiastic and harsh towards all of his nephews, their relationship has softened quite a bit over the many hours spent on adventures together." I'm sure Polo has even better suggestions though. I'm just a silly Swede.

Holy cow! More Mascots! Unfortunately, I played Mass Effect as Jane, otherwise I would have looked into it. Darklink42, go ahead and post the bio right here in the thread, that's the way we've always done it.

I've been using it for a few years and recently bought the Record+Reason combo at a student discount. I still haven't used Record much, and the new way of routing everything confuses me, but I like the ability of having several racks next to each other instead of one big tower with everything in it. There's a few things about both pieces of software that bother me, but they're a lot easier to work with than anything else I've tried.

Yes, you do love diphtongs, and so do I. My accent pretty much doesn't have them, however. We also typically don't have vowel reduction, so that final a will never be pronounced as "uh". It's hard to make an accurate instruction without using the IPA, but it should be something along the lines of "Linn-é-à", where é is the vowel sound you'd hear in "ear" (drop the r) and à is a very short a sound that I don't think exists in American English. If you speak French or Spanish you should have a pretty good idea of how it sounds. Also, curiously, the melody of the word is a rising pitch, with the final syllable being noticeably higher in pitch than the other two, despite the second syllable actually being the stressed one. The melody is extremely dependent on the situation, however.

Ok. That's not how Swedes would pronounce it (except those in Skåne). But yes, it's a flower, and yes, it's a very common name here.

Vocals are too dry and cold. Dunno if it's noise reduction, but the recording sounds like it's made inside a tin can. Which is a shame, because I think I would have really enjoyed this piece otherwise. There's nothing wrong with the perfomance or the piano. Some EQ and reverb on the vocals would have done it, I think.

Since we're off topic anyway, how would you pronounce Linnea's name (Linn-a-uh)? This is the second time in a short while I've heard of an American (assuming she is) bearing this name. Until recently I didn't know any of them did.

You know, from that angle, it looks like Rozo is already getting all the hugging he needs.

*hugs rozo*

"Dream island"? For Brits, maybe. EDIT: Oh, wait. I missed the "a". Nevermind then.

Thanks for the PM. Really looking forward to seeing what an artist might create for my track.

Yes, you will Why don't you start a remix thread in the workshop forum? I'm sure people there can help you out.

Good luck with this, too.

I think this is a little overcompressed most of the time, and the rhythm guitars are indeed thin. Personally, I love the screaming vocals, I just wish there'd been more of them. The arrangement feels kind of empty a lot of the time, and they fill it up quite nicely. EDIT: Very much looking forward to a screaming contest between you and LuIza (in an OCReMix I mean). Make it happen, dude!

As long as you can choose to use only one textbox. OVERALL/OTHER (Any extra comments on the mix?) Awsm 10char *SUBMIT*

Like I told Will, I'm not a fan of these drums, but the rest is cool, sounds like a mix of Sonic and Unreal Tournament. Also, this is one of the best writeups yet. EDIT: Funny ZIrcon should mention the lack of vibrato and filtering on the leads, this is the exact reason I didn't like his third entry in the GRMRB.

You said it. I'll need the whole week to decide.

Freaking finally. Now for another 6 months before it shows up on the front page...

I'd love to, but I really can't fit those lyrics into the song. The syllables don't add up at all. I have already written some lyrics for my Flame Mammoth one though. They're not as fun, but maybe some of you will like them anyway.

There's still time. I might consider if it my Flame Mammoth one turns out like I want it to.

I intend to.

,All this talk about how awesome this and that person is really makes me lose my motivation, knowing I can never be as awesome as they are. This makes me sad.
