Dain really nailed every one of my points. There's this weird lack of energy coming from what I think is the hollowness of the sound. There seems to be this build to some sick drop after the Do a Barrel Roll robovoice but it's just underwhelming. I don't really have anything more to say; there are some good ideas but I think other Js really articulated how this can be fixed up. NO, resub

*NO* Pokémon Gold Version 'Goldenrod Game Center'
DarkeSword replied to Liontamer's topic in Judges Decisions
A really nice energetic take on the source. Love the groovy drums and the overall sound design, except for one big chunk that's missing. There's practically no significant bassline to speak of. You need something meaty to give this piece some foundation. Repetition doesn't bother me as much, but even when recapping what you have in the first half in the second half, you need to ramp up the energy levels to really sell it. The back half of this track feels like it's just going through the motions. Needs more variation and some BASS. NO, resub -
There's a lot of really dense part-writing here, which is pretty impressive, but I feel like there's some looseness here and there that's making things sound pretty messy. Not feeling the transitions, especially the bit with the Lavender theme. Getting a strong case of medley-itis here. Like Deia said, you might be better served focusing in on one or two sources and really developing those. Clearly you've got the chops, but I think this arrangement is too all-over-the-place to be really effective as a single piece. It's a lot of ideas that feel forced together. NO, resub

This is already in the works. We're still defining requirements.

Non-paying gig for Political Radio Show
DarkeSword replied to Hyperion5182's topic in Recruit & Collaborate!
I've moved this thread to Recruit and Collaborate. It doesn't belong in Community. I've also renamed this thread to more accurately reflect what's being asked for. This is no way an "opportunity." In any case, while I personally can't recommend taking on this kind of gig for the promise of "exposure," people are allowed to make requests for non-paying work on this forum, so I'll ask folks to respectfully abstain from any further discussion of the topic. I'll also advise anyone reading this (especially Hyperion) that asking for free work and framing/promoting it as an "opportunity" is not a good idea. There are few words that make artists more wary than "for exposure." It's better to just state upfront that the gig is non-paying and to leave it at that. -
When offering something like this, it's always a good idea to post examples of your work.

You sound uncannily like Kumail Nanjiani with less of an Indian accent.

Tropes vs. Women / #GamerGate Conspiracies
DarkeSword replied to Brandon Strader's topic in General Discussion
Not really interested in getting too involved with this debate but I need to reply to this because I've seen it happen elsewhere on this forum and other places. When someone asks you for a citation with regards to some argument you're making, it's not enough to simply just say "it's a matter of public record" or that a quick Google search will yield the results a person is looking for. You can't assert something and then say "just look it up yourself, you'll find it." You're making an assertion that something is true, and someone is calling that into question, so it's on you to provide links to credible sources that verify your assertions. -
It certainly would be an interesting way of building playlists, but like newt said, I'm not sure why you need filenames from peoples' libraries.

I managed to play about 2-3 hours on Thursday night. Really enjoying the improvements to the questing. Questing is my favorite thing to do in WoW and all of the added voices and stuff really makes the experience a lot better. Only problem I've been having while playing is finding ore. Gotta get dat mining up, amirite? Also need it for engineering contracts in my garrison. WHERE IS THE ORE?!

We're going to cut it. I feel like it would be weird to include it and just cause more bad vibes if people see it on the album at the event.

Folks, this thread is for project dev and discussion. Let's stay on topic please.

Awesome, thanks.

Still looking for people. Nov 2 is a soft deadline, so you still have time.

Music for Round 3 of Singles is up. Eino and Jorito win the Doubles tourney. I have no excuse for the lateness of this aside from the fact that I am a poop.

OCR Stance on Originals made into Remixes?
DarkeSword replied to Pl511's topic in General Discussion
If you decide to take one of your originals, modify it into a remix, and then submit that, that's fine by us. We're cool with it. You own the rights to your original track, so you can do whatever you'd like. ...eeehhhhhh... -
OCR02165 - Super Mario Kart & Super Mario 64 "Koopa Nova"
DarkeSword replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
i love this remix so much -
Mentioned this in staff chat earlier but I thought I'd write it up here just to have it somewhere more permanent. Music for streaming is such a hot topic right now. Artists in this community see questions from streamers all the time about whether or not they can use music they've done in streams. I think it'd be worth tagging and promoting certain albums on OCRD as streaming-friendly. For example, an artist can opt-in to mark some of their albums as streaming-friendly, and when someone else buys that album, they see that they have the permission to use that music in their streams. We can also promote albums this way, i.e. have a special sale on streaming-friendly albums, and point to a page where people can browse those albums.

Hey guys, need to fill out the roster on this. WillRock is taking Killer Instinct (which is replacing Injustice), and DusK is taking UMvC3.

Sorry, I'll make the first post clearer. You and hakstock are mixing against each other, using your themes and each other's themes. I will be putting up music from the ended rounds tonight.
