  1. Issues: Way too short, piano lacks human touch, ending is really really poor, mastering/sound quality is meh. Cool things: I love the idea and style. Rag yo. Needs to be better, but still pretty cool. NO
  2. We kinda got some pretty high standards for orchestral songs on this site. This song is very well thought out, but lacking in the areas of sound quality. I very much like how it was sequenced. Shows mastery of the genre. GRAH, pretty torn on this remix. Its the sample quality that brings it down, but otherwise its totally YES worthy
  3. Ugh, the percusion at 1:25 is so poor. Use quantization or something. As for the rest, its a decent cover of the original. No real variation, or solo or anything of the remix nature. So more or less a cover. Please fix the drums. Try more variation. NO
  4. Good beat, groove. Way too short. Its well sequenced, but doesn't evolve much. Biggest issue I have is the length. Make it twice as long. NO
  5. I believe I heard this song a long time ago in its early stages. My issues with this song are as follows: Awkward tempo changes happening all the time. Song does not deviate from original much, though it does expand on the notation a bit. Instruments are dry and unfulfilling. Its not so much the sample/instrument choice as how they were used. Even the worst samples could be used well. Sequencing is borderline amateur. Just a lot of messy notes here and there. I do like how the song follows zero's story through the good (not sucky) mmx games. Will need to be more than that though. NO
  6. This song repeats a great deal, and the drumloop starts to grate very fast. Imagine the loop was removed, how impressive would it be? That sums up my problem with the track. NO
  7. I as well was waiting for a breakdown, a change, something to break the cookie mold. Instead it just loops. Aside from that, the percussion is rather week. Hats sound flanged out. Background chorus can't follow the chords too well. Just.. problems. NO
  8. Exactly. Effects and floody synths, but lacking in the music. Cool idea, but get better at the music part. You got the sfx part down pat NO
  9. This is a very bizzare remix. I like the style, but its undevelopped. Just repeats again and again, then abruptly ends at 2 minutes. Needs to be more than twice as long, and totally develop that wicked style. NO
  10. Ethereal. The groove is definately there. Percussion never changes. Rather repetitive at this point. Very atmospherical. Meh ending is so weak. Well, its gonna take more than nice samples and a drumloop to win my heart tonight. NO
  11. OCR Trance holds to higher standards than this. Takes a while to start, and then does not impress with its continuous riff. Needs more. NO
  12. Pretty straight forward boomtish. Issue here is that the melody does not deviate from the original at all. This is what I'm looking for. To me, its lazy to just play the original with different samples and add some simplistic boomtish. NO
  13. Heres my issue with this song (after much thought): From roughly 22 seconds to 3 minutes, this song is virtually note for note with the original remlia track. The difference between the two tracks (aside from the orchestral percussion) is the strings in the back. I know its supposed to be new-agy, but frankly I've heard good newagy and bad newagy. These strings are just off key half the time. It would be acceptable if the rest of the remix wasn't so note-for-note. The end starts to build and then completely dies out and the song ends. Very weak. I expect a much better ending for such a song. NO
  14. So yea, piano version of this song. It basically plays through the original with some pretty nice variation. My issues include the lack of human touch and subpar piano sequencing. This was sequenced, right? One can tell. Secondly, no real chords, just a simple bassline. Its weak. Gotta be more advanced than that. NO
  15. Heheh This is pretty cool. Goes through the whole song, and well. My big problem is that its minimally routing through the original with no variation and focusing entirely on lyrics from that point. This is what I rejected krazy kracker for. Gotta be fair. Also, thers that horrible bleep towards the end WTF. NO But it is pretty cool.
  16. For the most part, note for note with the original. I even recognize the background riffs. Make a remix, not an upgrade. NO
  17. What the hell! WHAT THE HELL SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET I would yes override, but apparently its not allowed any more. YESYES YESYES YESYES YESYES YESYES YESYES YESYES YESYES
  18. No accepting of 22khz songs, sorry. NO As for the song, minimalistic as hell with virtually no progress or builds, and rather repettitve. NO
  19. Man, vig has been stealing all my opinions today. NO So basically, this mix is a bit too amature. Theres a great deal of messy notation and off notes. I'm sure someone can justify the off notes with some vague, debatable theory from somewhere. Regardless, it hurts my ears. I can tell emotion went into this song, but emotion isn't always enough. The basic ideals of what makes good music must be attained before this remix will get anywhere.
  20. Vig said it all... again. Weak bass, out of tune guitar. Loud, poorly compressed percussion, major clipping. Overall, this song is just damned annoying. NO
  21. Vig said it all. Rhythmic flaws. Aside from that, very typical cover. Fix the rhythm gap between the perc and guitars at the very least. NO
  22. Wow, this song is becomming rather popular of late. How many remixes have we had so far? Quite a few I recon. Hmm. I don't have any issues with that blues solo. It works very well. Theres nothing .. whoa... ok, now I get it. At 3 minutes. I remember this now. Yea, that piano chord section needs to be redone, or else NO As for the rest, very cool. Redo that section, resubmit. As I promised, the flaws were fixed, so YES
  23. Way too short, way too amature. Way too similar to the original. A good example of what we're not looking for in a remix submission. Sorry, couldn't think of a better way to sugarcoat it. NO
  24. This is basically the same as the original with 2 loops, no significant variation, and nothing interesting going on. You need to focus on the essense of what makes a good remix. Also way way too short. NO
  25. At the continuous risk of being crusified by my fellow comrads, there are many off notes in this song. I understand the style attempted here, and while I think it has been accomplished to some extent it does not cover up for the issues. 1. Way too short 2. Off notes, poor arranging 3. Nothing changes, nothing develops. 4. Poor mastering/recording. NO
