Try adding your own touch to the songs. ReMixing isn't about making the original instruments sound better...

Well, aside from the generic synth, the shitty orchestral hits, the nintendo-quality sound effects, sticking too close the source, the same repetitive drumloop, and the ridiculous clipping on the sound effects, it would have been a good submission. There was no arrangement here... I could easily remake this in 10-15 minutes... All you did was take a MIDI for most of the melody, slightly change the rhythm in the bass, add some shitty sound effects, and throw one drum loop in throughout the whole thing.

So... This is what people are talking about... About you being an asshole... You do provide legitimate feedback, but never provide a way to improve...

Alright... This has gone too far... I just saw on the news that the student victims, which means the dead ones, are getting posthumous degrees. I'm all for honoring the dead, but what is the fucking point of giving a dead person a degree? Better placement in the graveyard?

0:00 - 0:25 - Perfect intonation and pronunciation 0:31 - Not sure if I like "know". 0:38 - "Me" still sounds a little bit wide. And the whole thing sounds a bit breathy 0:49 - "Back" sounds like "Mack" - Interlude - 1:33 - "Into" in the harmony sounds a bit off... 1:43 - "Forget" is a little pushed in the melody 1:47 - AGH! *orgasm* Love the triplet 2:05 - I like the note choice in the harmony 2:30 - Again, nice note choice. Overall: Your pitch accuracy has improved, your pronunciation has improved, your tone quality is much improved. I don't foresee you needing to do too many more recordings before this can be submitted.

I'll bring my games... Hopefully I'll find one that I didn't delete... Hoping

Does each ticket count for both days? I was just going to go Friday

Looking for another person to hang around with?

Win That's why God invented OSTs EDIT: Congrats, Jill

Mark me down as a 50% chance... I'll have to check vacation, work, and wedding dates... Then I have to check my bank account... But I'm at a solid 50% right now EDIT: How far up into PA? EDIT 2: How much are we talking about for each ticket at the group price?

I talked about this in #ocremix a bit ago... Sometime over Easter break, I was at a Winery in Indiana, and spotted a ridiculously nerdy chick across the bar-island thing doing a wine tasting... And actually, she caught my eye becase my girlfriend and I were asked if we'd be tasting... I'm 18 and she's 16... But the lady said we looked old enough... and I started looking for people that didn't look old enough... Anyways... I saw she was with an equally nerdy guy that was wearing a red Nintendo sweatshirt... And while it wasn't OCR apparel, the only other people I've seen wearing that sweatshirt occasionally visited OCR. Not to the extent of registering on the forums or getting into the IRC channels, but downloading songs to games they liked... I was going to ask if he was familiar with the OCR community and website... But decided against it..

The OST? .

Miszou - Quit phailing and work on your SM64 song..

Damn Frenchies living in the future... Wanting a submission at 2:00PM

Well, this one had piqued my interest, but alas, this is a big testing week, and I did not have the time. I'm hoping to make it into the next CMC

Well, I'm out... I can't go over $10

I don't have a Wii.. If anybody can get me a source tune, then I'd be glad to listen and maybe give it a shot

Yeah, you're already good with the rock-ish genre... *listens to Summertime again*

I'll grab those Oracle of Ages and Seasons from you, if there are no other offers

I know very well how much Trial and Error is a part of coding, forum hacking, and tweaking... And if I had vBulletin, I'd offer my coding, tweaking, and hacking services... But alas, vBulletin is commercial software, and I don't have enough money to invest in a copy

Well, I guess it takes a while to start up VOCRs, finding the right source tune and all... Because it's been like... a month since the last one ended... Let's shoot for May!

We wish... He's not releasing it

DA - Sorry about that... Didn't realize you'd be up this early to check it... Analysis: Well, as it was said before, it's quieter, and while you're paying attention to pitch, you're losing a lot of energy. Also, phrasing was mentioned, which is why the lyrics were hard to hear and write down unless given to me. There's still a minor pronunciation issue that is now more clear in this version. 0:34 - "intO" - Almost sounds like "ew". Almost sounds like two separate vowels the way you separate it. But that's the note change... You can't change sounds as you change pitch or it sounds like another word... At least not here... 0:38 - "mE" - Way too much "E". Try to keep your vowels well-formed. You can hear that your mouth widened when singing that. 1:23 - "I'll" - "All turn"? 2:43 - "Are" - Too much "AHHH" 2:59 - "OUt" - Because of the pitch, it sounds like "Ah oot loud". Again, refer to 0:34 3:10 - "kEEp" - Another "wide" E... Consistency is the key. Again, refer 0:38 Those are my major pronunciation beefs. And now onto pitch. 0:26 - "I" - Takes a while to get to the right pitch. 0:43 - "Calling" - Sounds SLIGHTLY sharp... 0:50 - "on" - Sharp 1:26 - "Reject" - The "ject" sounds a little higher than the rest of the word 1:30 - "Take" - Just sharp in general 1:36 - "Nightmares" - This one was really tough to pick out, but you need to remember to listen to the background music, and not continue in a key of your own. At this point, everything is a little off. 1:43 - "Forget" - Starts sharp 1:58 - "For" - Sharp 2:29 - "Demons Strong" - "mons" goes way sharp, and "strong" follows, not as high, but still sharp for the intended pitch. 2:59 - "Out Loud" - Sounds like your voice was really losing it around this point... No energy there, or even evidence of effort. 3:26 - "Your" - Seems to be the high notes in each of the phrases 3:30 - "Realize" - Again, the "al" of "realize" is not as low as it should be. 3:40 - "Are" - Not talking about the turn this time. But it takes a while for your voice and the background to match on the sustained note. Oddly enough, you complain about this song being too high, yet your tendency is to sing a little over the pitch. Try to record smaller phrases, but more often... I'm not saying a track for each word, but where you can comfortably pick up, try doing each phrase separately and pick out the best of each. Also, you probably could have used the "OooOoooh" from the last track(s) on the end of this one. Conclusion: A lot of the previous errors were fixed, but again, you lost a LOT of energy. It may have been the time of day that you were recording, I don't know. Either way, great job cleaning up most of it. Just a little more to go. The pronunciation issues are just consistency in the forming of your vowels.

Yeah... You and me both... Indiana isn't exactly my perfect weekend option... Especially when I miss all Friday and Monday classes because of it... Oh well... Have a great time, everyone..
