OceansAndrew Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 ReMixer name: Mr. Karate real name: John Grimm email address: john.grimm@gamerarmy.com website: http://www.youtube.com/user/Sturgis702 userid: 28766 Name of game(s) arranged: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Name of individual song(s) arranged: Beware the Forest's Mushrooms My own comments about the mix: I had submitted a different version of this song and was rejected for it not being different enough, so I made a new one in 10 minutes after I got the rejection out of spite and said to myself I wasn't going to send it in to you douche bags, so I held onto it for 3 months, but I figured, I'll give it one more go. The first song wasn't different enough, I decided to make this one as different as I could possibly make it while still having the melody. Changed the piano effects, manipulated the drum rhythms, and a guitar with all sorts of stupid effects. source: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 The arrangement seems to be piano melody with a guitar countermelody, and some backing chords, but there seems to be a lot of missing stuff harmonically. There's no real bottom end, and the beats are canned and static. Production is what really brings this down, as there is a ton of mud from all the reverb you put on everything, especially the bass drum and hihat. Like, excessive reverb.

Palpable Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Wow, don't even know where to start with this one. The arrangement is too simple, doesn't feel cohesive, and the new elements don't actually add that much interpretation; part of the piano melody is written wrong and doesn't work with the chords you've got; the piano is played mechanically; the low-end is incredibly overpowered with too much reverb; the mixing levels are off; the parts crowd each other. I guess I just earned that douchebag status back, huh? NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Too much reverb, some rather persistent note-flubs, prominent FL Slayer, volume issues--some of the sloppiest production I've heard on the panel in a while. Arrangement is pretty straightforward and un-developing. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
