djpretzel Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Well Mr. Pretzel, this marks the fourth email I have sent with this submission, though I think the reason why I recieved no result was because I was sending it to creator@overclocked.org. I was not aware that the submission address had changed. I am not concerned with the speed in which my remix is posted, because I understand that you are a busy man. I am just concerned that it eventually IS posted (assuming that it meets the ocReMix standards) because I have other mixes that I have completed and wish to submit as well, and do not wish to until this one is posted. Mix Title : Rockman and Forte- Coldman Sapphire Mix - OcReMix Original song: Coldman theme And there we go. Keep up the great work man. Perhaps one day we will cross paths up here. And always remember, if you ever want a free game, or a few free games of funtastic lazer tag, stop by Ultrazone in Sterling with some friends on a Friday or Saturday night. I am a manager there and will hookith thee upith. >Galen Deming >Dj Abjurator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 This worked, that's all I can really say. It worked. He kept it flowing and changing, it was engaging. (hey that rhymes!) YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Must everyone do these generic electronica/dance drums? ^_~ The rest is definitely good enough for a post. I don't think this is quite as technically savy as what we've been seeing lately in the electronica department, however this has a factor of enjoyability that certainly puts the mix over the line for me. Considering the length of the mix, good work on keeping the mix flowing and engaging throughout. People will definitely dig this a lot.

Disco Dan Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Ok after hearing the original (below), I'm changing this. The chord progression is pretty much sacrificed completely in this version of coldman's theme. While I'll give it high marks for instrument quality and mastering, the simplified progression and repetition thereof, in addition to the section between 3:41 and 4:10 which seems guessed at best, are going to sink it. Hence my earlier "yes" is now a NO. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Basically, I'm not fond of this mix at all. Given, its not enough to reject a song on, I'm still quite borderline. There are other issues I'm taking into consideration; There is some really poor gritty EQing on the synths and strings. This song lacks all the high frequency. There is also a lot of repeating. The thing, however, that bothers me the most is how this song destroys the original's cool chord structure. It plays the oriignal melody over with variation, yes, but its simply nowhere near as good as the original was in production and sound quality. Its quite simply a textbook trance mix without much originality. I cannot reject it based on the fact that I don't like it, but I can reject it based on the poor mastering and overreliance on synth presets.

Digital Coma Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 This is as borderline as a submission gets. I'm listening to a mix with a transplant in style and simplification of the original. Gone are the intricate drumwork and lead chord progression, replaced by mediocre synths in unison and basic harmony. The few original sections are appreciated, but they're not enough to hold back the dumbed-down composition from a rejection. Although there is more variation present than in other examples of "trancification", the syphoning of excellence from the original just makes a shallow mix.

Vig Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 i dont think we should be passing mixes that are simplifications of the original unless there is a significant change in style or feel. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
