Hemophiliac   Judges ⚖️

It is done. The entire album package is complete and all administrative paperwork filed. The rest is in OC Remix staff's hands. Our job as directors is 'basically' over. If all goes well, it won't be but a few weeks more before release! Keep an eye on updates and be prepared for a premiere date and time where hundreds can listen along together once it debuts!

Understood. I thought about that, and felt it needed something else. Thank you for your detailed critque!

Yours is 30366.  It's in address bar for your profile page.

WOW, this is night and day improvement from the previous version.  Great work cleaning that up!  I really feel like the biggest improvement might have been making it mono, but nevertheless it sounds great!

Ship it!

Here's the update!

So I altered the bass by separating the acid sounding arp from the meat of the bass, they were indeed one instrument. The main bass is now two triangle waves, one an octave higher than the other. The NES used those for it's bass channel, I figure it might be because of fewer harmonics to interfere with other instruments? I altered the decay and sustain to try to bring more punch to the instrument without increasing it's volume. I also brought it to mono. The acid sounding instrument is now separate, and I lowered the lower frequencies of it as well as adding a high pass filter. Also, I filtered some of the lower frequencies from other instruments in the arrangement. Hopefully some of this helps, and thanks ahead of time!
 

Love the tonal pallette, love the melody in this time sig, love the smoove sexy jazz feel.

Loved the odd time signatures! Maintains a similar rhythm throughout but has great dynamics.

Absolutely love the synth brass leads on this - just the right analog warmth, buttery, uses the range well... melancholy meditation on some absolutely stellar source melodies. Feels like a different vibe than many of @Hemophiliac's other works, but absolutely clicks.

Listening to video game songs on YouTube, this popped up in my feed. Not sure what game "The Jetzons" is, but if this is the soundtrack, it sounds like something everybody and their dog would cover, but I can't seem to find anything on here. Where oh where could the remixes be? ? Anyway:
 
 

Thanks so much for the feedback, Hemophiliac!  It takes time and experience to provide this level of critique and it's absolutely appreciated!  This is my first foray into making music like this so I have lots to learn, and without these sort of comments, I'm not sure how anyone could get better.  Thank you!
 
I was too married to that drum line I decided, so I forked it and went in a different direction, for better or for worse.  Also tried to be a little more intentional about the dynamics, but whether I went far enough is up to the listener.  That and some other minor changes.  I welcome any and all feedback!

It's finally here! The album trailer! Done by the awesome @José the Bronx Rican!!! I hope you all enjoy it and once the Mario Movie hype has died down, we can finally look ahead to imminent release! Hold on to your butts!
 
 

To be honest I also just yoinked that idea from a Youtube video where it was explained as the orchestra following the conducter who is also not a perfect metronome. Same thing still applies if you don't have a conductor but your partner instruments to follow.
This is what the tempo looks like from start to finish. There's really no pattern to the changes, and that's kind of the point. Just an avarage target tempo that the gets played around.

 
And while I was in the project anyway, this is what the violin's automations look like during the climax at around 2:52. From the top it's bow speed (think volume), vibrato amplitude, vibrato speed, bow pressure and bow position between bridge and finger board. So yeah, this is where those 30 hours went...

Please edit the original post please, and include any relevant information you would like to include.

We’re in the tail end of the process now.
We have a fair few left who are in the polishing and fixes stage of their tracks due to OCR judge panel feedback. We’re waiting for these final few tracks to get finalized before our masterer can finish their job. 
 
The release trailer is coming together and we got a general layout and flow to the video now. So that’s in the works.
Finally, the website is complete minus a few required last minute changes when it goes live.
Not long now, everyone! 
 
Note: I’m also planning several YouTube premiere parties hosted at different times upon release so each major timezone groupings can snag a listen. More words to follow on that! 

I don`t know exactly what I want to say, and none of this is planed out, but I think its wild this place is still around. For one reason or another Ill check the remixes and get a wave of "the good old days"  and not just from the music but this community, Which Ill admit, I was not super active, but from the time when I first came across it, I think maybe a  TechTv show sent me this way? Its wild people are still mixing Aquatic ambiance, and it still puts a smile on my face. 

I remember the first album I watched get released was Kong In Concert, I burned it to a disc (mp3 cd players were so cool) and would listen to it in Algebra 1, perhaps its why  took algebra one twice.  
I always wanted to be musical I would love to be able to contribute in that way. Thank you to everyone that still makes music for this community even If it gets said once or thousands of time it's very appreciated. 

 

Big thanks @Ridley Snipes and @Hemophiliac with helping to make* this banger atmospheric remix come alive! U guys da best~

OMG, I literally had made it to today without getting Whammed.  This is the farthest I've survived in the game.  So mad and laughing so hard at the same time.

Hi everybody!
I thought I'd share an original composition here for once.  Every year, I write a Festive/Christmas piece, and this year, I chose the verse-and-refrain poem Benedicamus Domino by Rev. Charles Lewis Hutchins, and by paying attention to the text and fitting the atmosphere of the piece with the poem, I was quite pleased with the results. Christmas Carols have always been a favourite part of Christmas to me, and I love the sound of a Church or Cathedral Choir singing a familiar or new piece; Festive Carols are something I love and a new composition that other groups and Choirs could sing is something I put my hand to every year.  Enjoy!
 
 
 

Welcome, and congratulations on the first post

I really like this arrangement, it's very strong and a solid interpretation.  Hand percussion throughout the piece is fantastic.  2:54 I was not expecting Song of Storms suddenly, but it works.  Production is mostly clean (only did a quick headphone listen).  Where you may run into problems is realism with the violin.  Attack on some of the notes sound a bit behind.

Aside from the violin, this is a strong creative arrangement.  Plenty of the original is there with both subtle changes as well as your own take.  Should you choose to submit, I suspect this would have a solid chance to pass.

Greetings! I've been in the music industry for quite a while now, in fact, I've been a member of this site for more than 10 years and I've been enjoying the work that everyone has been doing in here but only now have I gathered the courage to submit an arrangement of mine. This was inspired in a flamenco style with a touch of what one might hear from Professor Layton, I also added a few themes from other zelda games here and there but always sticking to the Gerudo valley we all know, any feedback would be greatly appreciated and thank you for time
 
 
 

Ask yourself this:  "Does it need to have a cadence?"

It's not a requirement for a loop to have a cadence.  Don't be concerned with including something unless you want to or need to (such as a requirement from a director).  Your transition at 0:40 works for me.

The thing that I thought was strange was a fade-in at the beginning, doesn't work for me on a boss tune.  (Unless that's just that way for WIP purposes).

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm only 17 years old and I don't have very good VSTs, but I'll try to fix the problems you described. I'm currently in my last year of high school and I have a lot of exams left in both music and general studies, but I hope to do it during one of the school holidays.
