*NO* Chrono Trigger 'Chrono's Fight Dance' *RESUB*
DarkeSword replied to Gario's topic in Judges Decisions
I started feeling this around 2:15. That build is pretty nice and when the brassy leads hit it's like "yeah I can dance to this." There's some funky stuff going on with the interplay between the kick and the bassline. I think this track would have been better served with a tighter, snappier kick sample; this one you're using sort of plunks down and sits for a little too long when it hits. Not a dealbreaker though. Arpeggios are a little basic, but that's alright. Pretty solid track that doesn't wear out its welcome. YES -
*NO* Pokémon Red Version 'Water Guns Are for Raves'
DarkeSword replied to DragonAvenger's topic in Judges Decisions
I love the style here. Lots of small details and embellishments that keep this from being a sound upgrade with drums. Like the glitching and processing and stuff. Really good there. This is the kind of music that OCR is always accused of being full of, but that we don't actually have enough of. But for a track that's so aggressive, there needs to be some variation to keep things interesting. This track a little longer than 3:00 and around 1:30 I was like "okay what else?" The copy-paste really bugged me. I get it, I've been there, and you can see it in a couple of my earlier remixes on this site; you're working on this track and you're just like "ugh I want this to be DONE" and you just copy-paste some stuff and call it a day. When a song is just barely past 3 minutes and it sounds like it made 2 laps around the track, you gotta get in there and change things up. NO -
*NO* Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Give Me Your Heart Piece"
DarkeSword replied to Gario's topic in Judges Decisions
Torn on this one. The vocal performance is good, but I'm not feeling how much this track leans on what is essentially an original melody for all of the sung parts. I also agree with Larry that the mixing really needs a look over; the backing is getting lost. The lyrics themselves are fine. The backing track is okay; feels like the original with nice beats and a good bassline. Gonna have to say NO on this though. Maybe some better mixing can fix this. -
Having Trouble with FLStudio

Sheet music and notation is not the subject of this thread. Not sure where this recommendation is coming from. -

Hey, don't do this. Don't call out other replies as "patronizing." Give your advice without the snide commentary. -

There's clone: There's make unique: This is FLStudio 20. I've been using Fruity Loops for 15 years, all the way back to version 3. Clone has been there since then. Make unique was added a few versions ago. They haven't gone anywhere. -
Done.

We're having some issues that need to be addressed with the hosting provider for ocrmirror.org. Dave's looking into it. -

OCR03809 - *YES* Darkwing Duck "Playtime's Over"
DarkeSword replied to Gario's topic in Judges Decisions
Used to play this game a lot when I was a kid. This is pretty fantastic. This track really bumps. I thought the melody was getting a little lost in the beginning but it broke out so it's not an issue. Lots of small details; good attention paid to stuff like articulations. I don't agree with the "repetitive" points other Js are making. The structure here is pretty classic. I'm into this. YES -

Next compo I do I think we'll two-week mixing rounds, or maybe 10-day mixing rounds (as to encompass two weekends) and a shorter voting period. -
