OCR was 100% how I developed as a musician and producer. Always happy to chat about it.
Almost same as Flex (Though VGM as a whole and not just OCR). Though my schedule might be sporadic. Would be happy to provide whatever I can still!

-
i have my own panel to set up for at 2:30 so I'll only be able to say hi very briefly before AND/OR after the panel
-
yo I'll be there. Also will have my Discord open. trying to nail down a schedule but MAG is chaos.

lol this is still nuts. I mostly had just a weekend to punch in all my parts thanks to the deadline + MAGWest, but I had a *blast* on this track. @jnWake really delivered on his most ambitious arrangement to date. Maybe one day this team will return again. Who knows.
-
jnWake delivers yet again. I love how he combines his prog background with jazz fusion bands like T-Square and Snarky Puppy lol. Also a hell of list of collaborators. I'm just sad I didn't get to play on this one cause I was moving and had COVID

I'll take normal sea stage (Lunge Fish)

Source track ^

When I saw Tiberian Sun I thought it was The Tiberian Sons LOL. Anyways, this is a fantastic take on this track. I've never played much Command & Conquer myself, but hearing the subtle dynamics with the beautifully chosen synthesizers. Beautiful.

Cool source tune, actually. I can see there being 3 distinct sections in the original, very remixable. Not sure if you wanted an official mod review here, but I'll just give my general feedback.
Arrangement
There's a good semblance of structure here. As far as implied dynamics go, it's a good spot. My main concerns would be in the production aspect.
Production/Mixing
I would focus on addressing the drums throughout. To me they seem like placeholder samples before you put in the actual ones.
- The first moment where the drums are iffy is 1:04 - 1:15; you are using the same drum sounds here as in the main sections, whereas the dynamics here are meant to be lower. I'd swap these drums out for something more distant with a longer reverb tail.
- At 1:15 and in similar spots, I thought there would be a cymbal to mark a major transition. That would do a lot by itself.
- The snare rolls tended to have similar velocities, such as at 1:40, 2:47, and other major transitions. Try varying the velocities so that they sound like rolls (alternating intensities), as opposed to just maximally hitting the snare.
It's very apparent at 3:04 where the military-like rhythm doesn't make too much sense unless you actually used an orchestral snare
---
Basically, what I've just said above boils down to:
- treat the drums with more TLC by addressing their mechanical rhythm and intensities
- take the time to choose more drum samples that are more appropriate for the implied dynamics of a given section
- mark your transitions a bit more clearly with cymbals
I really appreciate the feedback! @Hemophiliac knows I've been workshopping this one. I'll work towards having a version ready to review again.

Hope in 8None of these are on Spotify yet.
I'll browse over some other artists these next couple of weeks.

Cool. The bass is mixed too loud. I kept thinking while listening, bari-sax would be really neat in this. Arrangement is strong. Really just needs better balancing amongst parts.
Noted! I'll send over to our mixer. Might be able to add more bari sax in there too. (Also I forgot to put the review tag lmao)

I guess so I should elaborate a bit on the downer ending! I say it's a downer ending because it's a very introspective ending and fits in similar to the bittersweet nature of Final Fantasy Tactics (no spoilers but iykyk). I feel like I end up with more 'bombastic' endings a lot of the time but this was a more "Things will never be the same again, and that may not be okay" one.
Still in disbelief at the high praise given to this track.
Thank you all so, so much!
