Gario ⚖️ Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 Previous Decision ReMixer Name: Tonalysis Real Name: Jeff Morrow Email: User ID: 31683 Name of game(s): Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution Name of arrangement: Epic Steps Name of original song: Sync Composer: Outphase (Taku "TaQ" Sakakibara and Takayuki "dj Taka" Ishikawa) Link to original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-UxUJ6P8nU Link to remix: Comments: Frequently, fans discover artists through OC Remix. In my case, I discovered OC Remix by first discovering zircon through Pandora. After learning the basics of how to use FL Studio, and taking a few lessons from zircon himself, I decided to try my hand at remixing. I'm a long-time DDR fan, so I decided to pick my favorite DDR tune as my first submission. My goal was to take the track and make it even more epic. Thanks for considering my remix. EDIT: this is (another) resubmission based on previous comments by OC Remix judges.
Gario ⚖️ Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 Third time's the charm, baby, which totally is the case here. I can hear the cleaning up that went into this - no more snare being drown out by the more crowded portions. I like the variations you made to the lead instrument, as well - you didn't change the instrument itself, but you artfully play with the parameter envelopes to give it some much needed longevity. Being crowding and lead variety was what I hit it on before and these things were addressed, I think it's good to go now. Nice work, and thanks for sticking with it! YES
MindWanderer Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 No surprise from me--I liked the previous version well enough to pass it, and there's no question that this version is even stronger. The parts I mentioned that I liked before but that were too quiet to be heard well have all been addressed, and yep, I like them even better now. Overall it's mixed maybe a little bit more quietly than I think was necessary, but it can't simply be made louder without causing the overcrowding in 2:58-3:11 that was an issue before. Very nice work. YES
DragonAvenger Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks again for hitting this up a third time. I liked what you had going before and this is even better with the issues addressed. Solid work. YES
Liontamer ⚖️ Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I'm not strongly against this, but I also didn't hear any significant arrangement updates to the lead or the plodding percussion, for example at 1:36. The mixing was improved, and some of the supporting elements were brighter and better mixed, but I thought the writing was what needed tweaks and I didn't hear anything meaningfully tweaked there, especially after listening to this version compared to the previous one. That said, no hate, because all of the arrangement praise I had from this the first time around still stands, and it looks like this'll pass, but I felt this was still needing some further creativity with some of the part-writing. NO (resubmit)
Chimpazilla ⚖️ Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I was ok with the resub last time, and I'm still ok with it now, I still like it! Let's post it already! YES
