If your sole purpose for posting in this project thread is to exacerbate any drama, your trolling posts will continue to be deleted. I've already sent a warning to Lugia; any further posts by him will warrant an account suspension.

And as such, you should focus on the sound engeering, rather than moderating the thread. It is not your job to keep the discussion on track, especially considering the discussion was on topic. Your post was highly uncalled for, and you should consider toning down your attitude and apologizing. We know you're engineering the project; it's a fact you've made very apparent. Make no mistake: every artist on this project definitely appreciates it; but you need to show some respect to the artists whose work you're mastering. So how about instead of worrying about what people are talking about in the thread, you just focus on your work? If there are on-topic posts that don't have to do with the engineering, ignore them.

I like all the other judges better than you (no offense). No, seriously, where's that beatboxing demo?! Only because you've collabed with all of them! D: As for beatboxing, my MIC sux. I've only collaborated with GrayLightning so far, in terms of judges. (Something else in the works now that you might know about, though.) But yesh, I do love him. I posted a comment in your lj a long time ago and you never acknowledged my existence, so that's why I don't love you as much. But hey, they asked me to collab. I'm no ho! (Rayzaaaaaa....) As for the mic... excuses, excuses! I don't reply to most of my comments, so it was nothing personal.

I like Aurora better than Pixie (no offense). Good show too. Play more DarkeSword.

When the album is released. In other words, don't ask when the album comes out; it will be out when it's out. Uhhh...how about 45TB? He meant storage space, not transfer. What? You've never heard of a Terrabyte? ?? I don't understand your attempt at humor.

I wish it varied up a bit more, but this is still pretty solid. Production is tight, performance is tight, and the arrangement is just enough, IMO. I like the fact that the lyrics make no sense. Solid. YES oh, also... whiteboy lol

Ha, this is so off the wall. There's a lot going on, but I think everything meshes pretty well. The production is pretty clean, which is hard to do when you've got so much stuff all over the place. I like the little interludes with the crazy retriggered breaks; it changes things up nicely. It's a pretty good genre adaptation with a decent arrangement. I like how it's only 3:17; any more and it would be nauseating, but the length as it stands is just right. I like it, so YES

None of us ever judges impulsively, so why don't you shut the hell up and get off the panel, jerk. :whatevaa::whatevaa::whatevaa::whatevaa: Sax stuff in the beginning is pretty weird, but I can see what's going on there. Problem with this piece is the total crap production in the orchestral section. Why so much reverb on everything? It's muddy and it amplifies the hiss in your recording. What gives? Arrangement is nice, and sax gets the job done, but the recording and production need serious overhauls. NO

How the hell am I supposed to follow up these dissertations? Anyway, here's the short version; the guitar sticks out and is ridiculously repetitive. The percussion doesn't balance well with the rest of the track; the low percussion and bass fight for their right to party, which isn't good. The development in this song is pretty bland. The song just plods on and on without really going anywhere. Not a lot of highs or lows; just some instruments dropping out here and there. I like the gating stuff tho', so that's nice. NO

Vig, I'm pretty sure Bladiator plays all of his stuff, rather than sequencing, so the perfect timing in this case isn't really a bad thing. Maybe.

How could you have forgotten to vote on this? It was there FOREVER. Anyway, this is a nice track; good job DZ.

I ended up blabbing on IRC about this piece when I first listened to it in the j00jchat. Let's see what I had to say! So yeah, that basically sums up my thoughts. This is a sweet little number; perfect music to chill to, to drive to, to do anything cool to (even ending a sentence with a preposition! Breaking the rules of grammar is totally rad!). Not much else to say. YES

Yo Brandon, I finally got around to listening to this piece. Really tight stuff. I love the guitar. Everything locked together really nicely. This is a keeper, definitely.

How...comprehensive.

Excellent work here. The two songs are seamlessly combined into one cohesive piece. The fact that the meat of this song is the Oracle of Ages theme done in the style of the Ocarina of Time title theme is enough of an interpretation as far as I'm concerned. I really like the expressiveness that comes out when the Oracle theme is played, especially starting around 1:30. Very emotive. It's short, but I think it makes it's point, and in this case, the brevity is justified. Any longer and it may have gotten boring. YES

I listened the entire original while looking at analoq's sig. It is strangely fitting. I like the electric piano-ish instrument you're using. It has a nice sound, and it's pretty well sequenced too. Nice percussion too; very chill, heavy stuff. The arrangement is pretty awesome; lots of cool, inventive ideas with some good solos. One problem I have is that there's a ton of reverb on this track; it's cool for some leads and the percussion, but some of the stuff like the bass should have a tighter, more focused sound. The balance between instruments isn't terrible, but it could be better. I think this piece just needs an extra push on the production end. NO! resubmit please, for awesome arrangement's sake

I think this is great. I love how the piece slowly evolves; the ocean samples are so appropriate, because this piece really has an ebb and flow to it. It's relaxing, and while the source has been simplified, it's got a lot of nice subtle textural things going on. I really like the distorted section; it sounds very deep. Production is clean enough, arrangement is nice, I say YES.

Just want to pop in here and say that this project has been approved for organization on the OCR forums. Good luck Starky.

Hey I wanted to clarify something about the lockdown you guys were talking about. The lockdown is NOT a re-evaluation of every mix on the site based on CURRENT standards. The lockdown is a reviewal of all songs on the site to find mixes that are in VIOLATION OF OCR POLICY, i.e. MIDI rips, plagiarism, completely original work using only samples from games, etc. We are not going to rejudge every song to see if it meets the current bar. If you guys can mention that in the next show, that'd be great. Also, next time it'd probably be better to get the full story from a judge, just so misinformation doesn't get spread around. Just sayin. Other than that, this show was a great listen. Nice work, once again.

Before posting a remix project thread, familiarize yourself with the Album Project Guidelines.

No. I got super busy. Anyone want to make one? If you make a good one I'll put it on the kirby site.

God this song drones to no end. Fruity drumloop in the perc. Hooray? I think not. At least slice that up and retrigger it every measure or so. Don't rely on a drumloop to carry your song; you have to do something with it. And for pete's sake don't expose it like it's some kind of awesome drumbreak. The rest of the song is pretty repetitive and goes on too long for what little content is actually present. NO
