  1. This project has been moved from GD to WIP:OC because it's over a week old, and as part of the new policy on unofficial project threads, after a week of GD exposure, they move here to be "worked on." Good luck on your project everyone!

  3. I know I said ReQuests, but I believe that Unofficial Projects will get more continued exposure in WIP:OC. So yay for that.

  4. That's some ridiculous buzzing synth you have there. It totally renders the song unlistenable. Pretty repetitive too. NO
  5. Too much reverb! That section in the middle drags too; a bit long, and doesn't really relate to the source. I do like a lot of the sections, like around 5:00; awesome. A lot of the sounds seem to lack hi-freqs. I like the arrangement and ideas, but I have issues with the length and sound quality. NO resub.
  6. This reminds me of that sythesis you'd usually hear on a Sega Genesis. Analoq is right; the dissonance is used brilliantly here. Even though it's dissonant, it still manages to lock together in a coherent way. Nice. Problem is it's too short, and the track cuts off in a bad way at 2:51. Needs to be longer; more material + better ending. NO
  7. Nice flow, excellent sounds, great production. The interpretation is pretty expansive in terms of texture; the original is so sparse; this really adds a lot of meat to the song. It's similar, but different enough. YES
  8. Personally I just like the clips that the mixers have right now. It's like those awards shows where they have a the prerecorded presentation from the dudes who couldn't make it. Plus the free-talk is cool to listen to, especially since the mixer can talk about what they want to talk about.
  9. Link to the site still doesn't work for me.
  10. HAHAHA PIECE OF DICE
  11. YAYAYAYAYAY! Listening now. Sounding good.
  12. I like the texture of the piece; the strings, guitar, and hand percussion work well together. They're a bit punchy though, so this mix feels like it's plodding a bit. Strings aren't too creative; lots of sustained stuff, but I'm guilty of that too usually, and it works here. However, I think this mix is way too long. You could cut out a lot of the intro and condense the rest of the piece to make something more effective. It takes too long to get to the actual melody; more than halfway through the piece. The preceding material just feels like timewaster material, going through the chords again and again. Borderline NO
  13. I love Blizzard Man's theme. You followed the same chord progression but you rushed the melody. It sounds really odd and disjointed like that. Every single instrument besides the pads in this song has a really punchy quality; it sounds like they're being played way too loud and then scaled back so that they won't ruin the production; sax in particular is a really hard sound. I feel like I'm getting assaulted by notes here. I dunno, I'm not feeling this one; the syncopation doesn't really lock together, and the interpretation of the A section of the melody feels rushed without fitting with the chords. Other judges will probably disagree but I say NO
  14. What's up with those note choices at 1:40? Anyway, the rest of this song is really nice; I don't mind the 3-3-2 rhythm as much as Jesse; it establishes a nice pulse. Piano is kind of mechanical at times, but overall pretty good. Nice usage of strings and percussion too; good texture. YES
  15. Those are some pretty low quality choir samples; sounds a lot like an SNES or something. As far as the arrangement is concerned, there's no energy, no depth. This feels like its going through the motions. There's a lot of clipping too. Needs a lot of work; better samples, a more creative approach, and better mastering and balancing of elements. NO
  16. I believe this project has made and is continuing to make significant progress, so at the request of the project manager, Claado Shou, I've moved this into Site Projects.
  17. Darkesword sez: Quoted for emphasis.
  18. OMG BUMP FROM BEYOND!! Yes I'm still a part of this project. May move to SP soon. Gimme a few days. Anyway, in the meantime, enjoy a wip. http://shariqansari.com/oceanpalace.mp3 Track 19.
  19. It's about time we got a hot-chick-voice on one of these shows. Nice work.
  20. I'm in agreement. Sounds very messy and unbalanced. The arrangement is pretty random too. Not much else to say that already hasn't been said. NO
  21. It's okay if you can it man; I just rendered a final of my own version. I got tired of waiting. Music for Rise of the Star is done.
  22. You're damn right. Posts deleted. WBS: Don't ask about that shit in here. You want a good remixing program? Buy FL, or find a good free equivalent. Don't ask for information about piracyhere. It isn't just frowned upon; it's forbidden. End of discussion.
  23. ... No. Just asking. Just answering.
