Liontamer Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 The first iteration is a sound upgrade. The second iteration feature some little modulating noise added. The third iteration features a lot more interesting effects here. I'll be encouraging and nice on this one though and forgo the NO Override, since you at did something notable for the last section. Post it to VGMix if you'd like, maybe someone will like it. Thank you for providing us with this MIDI rip upgrade. We don't accept these. Since you don't seem to understand our submissions guidelines, feel free to read them sometime. (And yes, for you intrepid regular readers, I AM just copying & pasting my now stock NO Override vote.) Submission Instructions & Standards]In terms of arrangement - how close or distant ReMixes should be to the original - the general rule is that the ReMix should be YOURS. We don't just mean that you were involved in its creation, but that it is different enough from the original so as to readily illustrate the contributions, modifications, and enhancements you have made. In other words, don't just take the original and drop a few drum loops on top. Also, don't simply take a MIDI file and assign new instruments to the parts, or add reverb, and expect that to pass as 'yours'. When we say 'ReMix', we actually mean something closer to 're-arrangement', if that helps clarify. If you listen to most of the pieces on the site and compare them to the originals, you should get an idea of what a ReMix is. Like I said though, even though this is an upgrade for 2/3rds of the track, I'm being nice given the observed effort in handling the last section. If someone else feels like NO Overriding, please be my guest. I also appreciate you saying about OCR "a lot of works on that site are wack." Wouldn't wanna add to the glut of those "wack works," now would we? Of course not. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Nice percussion stuff, nicely processed synths. However there's not enough arrangement here. You said yourself that it's an upgrade; that's not what we're looking for HERE at OCR (this is not to say that OCR is the end-all-be-all of remix sites; we just have a very specific purpose in mind). This is long and the first 2/3 is just the same thing over and over again ad infintum. The last third where you trick the song out is frickin' brilliant. It's like dirty mix on crack. Nice. Unforunately the majority is too much of the same old same old. Move ideas around more and do something shorter. NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 No, upgrades are not what we are about. Percussion is interesting at times, but this is gonna be a NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
