Vig Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 GM sounds are just not good enough. other than that, the mixer makes some alterations to the chord progression of the song that sound odd at best, although "completely random" is more likely. NO
Liontamer Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Yeesh. Way to hang that flute note until :25. Panning effects were really bad. Way higher quality than the MIDI stuff you'd hear at a very bootleg CT fan site. Too bad that's not what this place is. VERY shrill strings coming in at 1:21. Some very minimal arrangement going on here anyway. Definitely at the level that a total n00b would think was a dramatic overhaul. 5 1/2 minutes of this? Nah, I'm good thanks. Jesus, even turning down the volume to 50% on Winamp, these shrill instruments are killing me. Sorry, bro, form rejection all the way. NO
Israfel Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Unfortunately, the first thing that one notices about this mix is that it is simply a general MIDI file that has been recorded as an MP3. There are a wide variety of high quality samples that can be downloaded for free and this sort of sound quality just isn't acceptable anymore. That being said, the arrangement isn't too bad, if perhaps a bit straightforward- a few nice harmony change-ups, decent form and overall a rather pleasant composition. However, I would like to see more attention paid toward humanization- try adding dynamic contrast or even more subtle additions like vibrato (by way of small, quick pitch bends). This *might* be passable with better samples. I would recommend submitting to vgmusic.com, though. NO
GrayLightning Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Well said by the other judges. Main issue here for me is this doesn't offer much new to the many schala mixes already available. I would add to that, considering the many Schala mixes already at OCR more innovation is required here. Straightforward, but it certainly had its interesting moments. NO
