Ridiculously Garrett

What could possibly go wrong?

Knack 2 wasn't my real pick, my real pick is Monster Hunter Ultimate 3. Best game ever. Rest in Peace MH3U Online. Rest in Peace.

I don't know when you're gonna close voting, but I think it's clear that SMK is winning for Rainbow Road, so I'll pick a different source now. I'll do an arrangement of Koopa Troopa Beach or whatever it is from 64.

I think this compo has been good, for my two or three years being active on the site, this is the most activity I've seen.

I've gotta go with Knack 2.

You've still got 2 days!

I enjoyed Mak Eightman's track a lot, though I did struggle in some areas to find the source. It's a much more enjoyable mix to listen to, I think. Good job on this round! I enjoyed Arceace's track a lot, it's a bummer that his opponent dropped out this round. There's always next time! But, good job, I really enjoyed all the filtering stuff and what not, and I also found myself enjoying that sax sample oddly enough.

Ok, if it ends up being 64 Rainbow Road I'll take it, but if it isn't I'll find another source.

Unless it ends up being a different rainbow road

You know what, I'll take 64's Rainbow Road. Why not?

I like this idea, I'll think about whether I'll join this week and get back to you on it. If I end up doing it, I will be doing a Mario Kart 64 theme.

Excited for this one Coop! And I won't hand mine in last minute this year again!

Subbed this track as I feel it's ready for an evaluation from the judges panel!

I see, is there some reference to this classic meme?

All subbed! Good luck Round 3!

Soul Calibur 2 is one of my favorite games, such awesome music! I totally hear it in the movement of this piece!

This is pretty much my process

Oh come on, man, I'm a 19 year old college student with a MacBook Air, a broken arm, and only one sub on OCR. I'm not unbeatable here!

I'll be just fine to work on my track this week. Good luck to everyone in Round 3!

This is quite the blast from the past! I grew up. with this game almost exclusively on gameboy. I love the soundscape, though, how much of this is live? During the main melody, it feels almost too quantized and as if there isn't really any variation of velocities. That's really my biggest complaint here. But, quite a solid mix, I like hearing this tune a decade later than when I was playing it .

Currently:

You've got a knack for making really beautiful orchestral pieces! I love how romantic sounding this one is.

I might have fractured my rotator cuff this weekend, I could be out of commission for the competition, but I'll see if I need surgery, and I suppose I'll be ambidextrous this week in doing as much as I can! We'll have to see when voting closes as well.

I loved every single entry. I really enjoyed listening to pixeltea's more jazzy approach to the theme and I gotta say, as a piano player, that interpretation of the Crash Man bits were really slick. Awesome job, I especially loved the super crazy bass on tom runs during the Crash parts as well. And that modulating upwards bit at the end had a cool effect. Was a really cool listen! Mak Eightman's metal version took the cake for me, lots of awesome groove in there. Those weird modulating synth sounds in the beginning were a treat to add to the grunginess of this one. I would love to have voted for AxLRs submission, but due to the voting guidelines, I had to vote the other way. Arceace's track was much more uniform in arrangement imo (though if I had to choose a favorite it would probably be Digital Redemption). SuperiorX's submission was nice and funky, with some super weird chords. It reminds me of another song, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Chiptuney and funky, this one sounded nice and thick.

Submitted my track! I got a lot of cool ideas out during this. Good luck to everybody who participated in Round 1 of GRMRB!
