  1. Sorry. The circles were just too big and giant. I blocked them out.
  2. 1. I've met djpretzel, zircon, Liontamer, palpable, pixietricks, harmony, and uhh...I think that's it. The thing is, I met them all IRL after I became a judge. Knowing someone IRL doesn't really factor into becoming a judge these days. 2. Love? Ha. Try lots and lots of judgehate.
  3. Percussion is a little quiet and weak; coulda been meatier. I like the soundscape; very big, very full. Sometimes too much so, but it doesn't linger. Nice embellishments and arpeggios. Sound design is pretty interesting. There's a lot of reverb here. Not bad, not bad at all. Good take on the source, fun to listen to. Not feeling those drums though. This could use more work I think. Focus on percussion and some sound balance issues. NO but definitely resub.
  4. The percussion is great but when the synths came in and stayed like that for the whole song, I was disappointed. It's like, a very generic detuned sawtooth sound everywhere; it never really feel like the sound got BIG in this mix like it should have. Everything was building up to something that never arrived. I'd like to see some more interpretation and variation. Build more, give us a HUGE anthemic section that really gets people feeling it. Focus in on a hook and exploit it. NO
  5. Man, you're really good at playing this song. xD I gotta agree with my fellow brown Js. The arrangement here is pretty much the same as the original done piano solo. I also don't think the strings add anything to the mix; rather, they're distracting, especially when they have that sharp release. You need to add more interpretation like you did after that key change. Take that idea and run with it. NO, but definitely resub
  6. Yikes, those lyrics. D: Very nice. I love the huge sound. Very awesome atmosphere. YES
  7. Starts off sounding like Mitsuda. Weird. xD Nice interpretation of the main Valkyrie Profile theme. Descending piano is very pretty, and the vocals and rumbling wind pad really create a great atmosphere. Nice depth, good direction. Very cool. YES
  8. Big fan of Ace Attorney here, let's see if you can bring it to the table. Great groove, great sound, but I'm really not sure about that flute as the lead. Its airiness is contributing to the hiss you've got with the swirly pad that's pervading the track so there's some white-noisiness to this. Not a bad thing, just interesting to note. Certainly an interesting take on the source material. Great interpretation. I like it. YES
  9. The opening sounds empty; you've got this reverb on the percussion that sort of pushes it back and gives it a dry, small room sound; not sure if it works here. Your horn synths lack definition, but that's a minor gripe. I think you're relying too much on your bell's delay effect to fill in the spaces (and I realize saying that makes me a hypocrite, but whatever). Anyway, I like the percussive breakdown in the end; it's pretty good. Overall a nice groove, but I think you need to take a look at your overall soundscape and try to fill it out. It sounds empty, yet confined, as if it's all being played in a very small room by not enough people. NO, resub
  10. The kick and hats are too much; EQ those down a little. Otherwise it's a nice track. Percussion is a little repetitive, but nothing dealbreaking. YES conditional
  11. Violin sounds so fakey. I agree with the issues with the choir, and I also want to add that the bagpipes in the middle section end up having intonation issues when the choir is chanting behind them. Might want to look at that too. Great concepts but it needs some work in the execution. NO, definite resub
  12. I think the part-writing is pretty great here. You guys are saying it's coverish, but I feel like it's got a different feel due to the backing rhythms and stuff. I like it. It's got a nice sound and great construction. YES
  13. I'm good with the arrangement, but if we can get some fix on the muddiness that everyone already talked about, we're good. YES conditional
  14. What Larry means to say is that we're going to charge per submission. That'll teach you guys to haphazardly submit crappy mixes!
  15. http://www.atlus.com/dokapon/ Anybody else get this game? It's a hybrid-board-game/rpg for Wii. I got it yesterday and have been having a blast playing with my little bro. Kind of like Mario Party with RPG battles. Surprisingly deep; tons of stuff you can do to screw other players over.
  16. No, there was no official CS sheet music. Sorry. Your best bet is to contact the remixer for the specific song you want sheet music for. For the record, if you want sheet music for my tracks on the project, you're out of luck, because there is none.
  17. Are you saying that Little Big Planet is actually a metaphor for the human condition?
  18. Um, yeah, okay, thanks. :\ Oh and for you guys saying that those verses are referring to people killing each other, you're wrong. Those verses are about Judgement Day. You know, the end of the world when everyone dies and we're all judged? Pretty sure the Bible has some pretty specific descriptions of what happens on Judgement Day too. It's not a deathchant about killing people. :\ Do you really want verses about the end of the world in a game like Little Big Planet? Come on. And here's the reason Muslims don't want it in there: they're using sacred text to make something "sound cool." They're stripping the meaning away and just using it to make the song sound "exotic." It's a phrase; it means something. The objection isn't "OMG VIDEO GAMES ARE THE GREAT SATAN AND MUST BE CONDEMNED TO THE HELLFIRES!!" The objection is "Hey, this is from a religious text that means something, and we're trying to protect that because we care about it." There are plenty of ways you can make something sound exotic without going straight to quoting the Qu'ran. There's a great deal of secular Arabic vocal sampling that can be used for that kind of thing. Yeah, the game got delayed, and that sucks, but don't start insulting the entire population of Muslims in the world just because a PS3 game is coming out a few weeks later. If you do, I will ban you, because you are the great Satan. Edit: and before anyone gets on my case, no I will not ban you.
  19. Keep in mind he registered in 2002 as well; phpBB might have done things differently.
  20. It's been out on DS in the US for a couple of months now...
  21. I've heard fantastic things about this game.
  22. No, it's not.
  23. Oh Jesus H. Crispies, can't you just answer the fucking question without starting a discussion of semantics?! B. One hit deaths. Absolutely ridiculous.
