omg who won

and he did it using only a synthesizer and it only took him 5 minutes

http://www.beatport.com/release/vario/868926 Aleksander Vinter, alias Savant, is... well... an autistic savant. and he uses his "powers" to make ridiculous complextro bangers at an alarming rate. his latest is relevant to the interests of this community, being that it's pretty much all nerd/video game themed only downside is that it's fucking 18 dollars. but I bought it anyway. he deserves your money. three of the songs are on youtube: do yourself a favor and dance :] EDIT: official website of aleksander vinter -> http://www.winterbliss.net/ there is a HUGE free mixtape he uploaded here -> https://rapidshare.com/#!download|336l33|2064081252|SAVANT_-_V_FOR_VINTER__FREE_MIXTAPE_DEC_2011_.rar|319149|R~0774382AC43774D16413750B3B610CA1|0|0

@TGH: damn dude

welp that was the best thing ever. impeccable. also funny to note that the original NES had only 3 instrumental channels as well ;D

I am interested in this. yes yes yes

FLAC is lossless; 320 kpbs mp3 isn't, though you can't really hear the difference. still, FLAC is technically higher quality

I was so wasted oh, also: if anyone is interested, I put all four of my entries into convenient "mini-album" format with artwork and all that. so if you want high-quality (320 kbps) versions of my tracks, get em free here http://bbriggs.halc9bit.com/album/snake-man-vs-the-world

glad to help! I have to say that phonetic hero's arrangement was so unique and grew on me so well with repeat listens, he takes the first place spot. almost every other remix could have been in the other two positions. it was very hard to decide.

Magnus Divinicus Chiptunicus: I love the arrangement a LOT. production issues at certain points, most likely due to reverb and EQ in the midrange? really really loved the bass presence, though Shinespark Glacier (sounds like a diddy kong racing level): caught that snake man quote! this one's not perfect, but when it manages to lock in melodically it's quite pleasant. When Robots Collide: zomfg TRUMPET so awesome. soooooo awwweeesossommmmeeee oh goddddd I'm pissing myself ok, killer arrangement here. although I have this on max volume, and I still want more punch and presence from the bass and drums, and less trumpet domiation (even though I'm a former trumpeter). that's my one gripe, but I consider it substantial REVENGE OF ZOMBIE BUBBLEMAN: let me assure you, my neighbors know every bassline of this song by heart Amp: gay From the East: racist Sweet Wet Nectar: inappropriate In the reading of-- fuck off willrock I'm not typing that shit. just kidding. Amp: production is good, although I think many of the leads could be turned down a bit. the high-mid range is hurting my ears a little bit at times. I think I want more bass, but that may just be my bass addiction talking. arrangement is very......... correct. ;D It's growing on me, especially the way you've woven in some poppy little bits. this pleases me. from the east: the transition is totally abrupt, and not really in a good way!~ specifically, note choices and melodic direction in the second half end up weighing it down significantly. production on both halves is pretty damn good, but the first half definitely has the edge on execution. props on getting something finished though! up on that teamwork shit sweet wet nectar: love the cheese factor. bright and clear production... solid arrangement down to every note! I want more bass. just sayin. guitar work is great, I just really like the whole vibe of this song. I feel like it kinda starts to come loose there at the end, but that sweet wet nectar's gotta come from somewhere OH GOD WillRock and Halc in The Uncommonly Annoying Astro-Title: rock solid production throughout, but I do think the overall EQ gets a bit too bright for my tastes in the last 1:20 or so. love the halc influence in the beginning. really creates that 'atmospheric shite' well. arrangment is typical willrock: PERFECT. *jealousface* ;] whew. gonna decide now

omigod omigdo ohmiygod heppy pepday! I suppose I should give you those vocal stems as a gift ;

excited to hear everyone's tracks! also, let it be known that the OFFICIAL alternate title of my remix is "Revenge of Zombie Bubble Man" you could even say it's kind of a "concept" remix, but that might be pushing it

me and my lazy ass both approve of the gencon meetup idea

do whatever you want, release it for free moral dilemma over

no one is impressed. put it back in your pants edit: WOW GARIO NOW THAT IS IMPRESSIVE

finished my remix! included snake man, elec man, bubble man, wily machine 10, and a little bit of Sonic 1 labyrinth zone HAHA!~ first official track mixed/mastered on my new studio monitors! god damn I really love this competition you guys seriously, best of luck to everyone!!
