Agreed with Larry. Drums are boooring. You could do a lot more with them to keep things fresh throughout the piece. I like the guitar performances, and I think you could easily add some variation by doing a middle section with some Chrono Trigger inspired improv before you double the lead. Think about it. Pretty conservative, but not bad at all; really relaxing. Let's take another look and give it the push it needs. NO, resub

Larry and Deia direct post stuff because they are the inbox judges (they handle the queue directly from the submissions mailbox). Other judges could conceivably direct post tracks as well, but it's mostly those two and djp.

Awesome, however Community is only for album releases, not for single tracks. Single tracks by anyone (OC ReMixer or not) should be released in Workshop.

Yeah we're going to do another one tonight at 9PM EDT.

Yeah the R&C forum is the place to go.

I just want to give a quick shout out to all the non-competitors who followed this competition every week and voted. Thanks guys. Also I think I need to make a new rule about voting for the next compo that says to actually write the titles of the tracks and not these trying-to-be-funny approximations some of you guys do sometimes.

Sure man, just send me a quick sketch of what you have in mind. Also if anyone else is interested please reply in that thread, not this one. Thanks.

Slightly unrelated. I need remixers to fill out tracks for the Apex 2014 album http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43510 I'm looking for really good remixes, so if you're a novice, please keep that in mind.

You're probably in a small minority in thinking 3D Land is forgettable.

How? It's not even out yet. Did you play it at PAX or something? Why? Zelda is always great. Skyward Sword was really good, save for a couple of interface issues. Nice casual racism.

Music up.

Not bad at all, though it's pretty conservative. Kind of straightforward. My issues with it are that your melody is in the piano, and it's getting completely lost behind all your arpeggios and stuff. The balance on this track is way off. Middle section with the breath fx is nice. I agree with Deia that there's some weird harmonic stuff going on with the pads. Give it another listen, around :21 and :35. I like it but I think it needs some work. Maybe some stronger leads with more rhythmic variation. Change up that four on the floor drum pattern too. You could do some really fun syncopated stuff in the breakdown in the middle. Needs some work. NO, resub

Definitely not enough overt source usage, IMO. I generally don't like Larry's stop-watching but he's actually being really generous here. I'm a big Prime fan and I remixed this song too; I listened to it a TON when I was making my remix and I'm having a really difficult time picking out the source in most of this. Aside from that the lo-fi muffled sound is really killing this. Needs some EQ for clarity's sake. Original writing is creative but for me that's mostly what this piece is; an original piece that's quoting Phendrana every once in a while. Needs major arrangement attention and mixing work. NO

I know you edited your personalized link out but I just want to say that posting those kinds of links for the purposes of winning a contest isn't something that's allowed here. Thanks for editing your post.

? It does have good games. It has good games right now.

Maybe instead of talking about Xover you guys should talk about Mighty No. 9? :\

You try way too hard on this satire stuff.

What do you want to talk about that you can't talk about in Community or Off-Topic? Also, Community and Off-Topic are "forums," not "threads."

Hakstock's on TTT2.

We would have to have access to the music prior to the game coming out. I realize that people get super excited about this kind of thing but lets just take a step back. We haven't even heard a soundtrack yet, just one or two samples. Let the game come out. Let people play the game and form a relationship with the music. Then maybe we can approach an album project with actual appreciation and passion, rather than trying to just chase the latest hotness.

If I ever win the lottery you people ain't gettin' shit.

Mixes are slowly coming in. I want to remind everyone once the voting starts that the primary criteria for your votes should be how well the source tunes are used in the remix. This is probably something I need to make clearer to the artists the next time I run one of these competitions, because as this competition has progressed, people have been submitting tracks have been increasingly liberal, to the point where I'm not even sure that they're using the source tunes in a significant way. I love the creativity people are bringing to the table but in the end this is a remix competition, not an original music competition. Please keep this in mind as you're evaluating the remixes for your votes.
