I guess I represent some of the few remixers that dont *cough cough*SUCK*cough cough*

I was waiting for a trekkie to come along and correct the only startrek quote I know, haha.

You sure don't suck, I thoroughly enjoy your tunes, but the main reason I don't like remixing is because I can't call it mine. Do you need some cough syrup?

Keep those reviews coming, Erkie.

idk what u use for ur music making intrinsik, but you seem to be a good artist. If i were u id try to get good with a program like Fruityloops (my fav) or Reason.

www.Fruityloops.com

www.google.com
(search for propellerheads software, and download the latest version of reason)

you can get the demo of both on those sites.

This contest seems very interesting, I may participate in the next one...

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=272915

Quoted by Erkie

"There's a difference between a Composer and an Artist.

Personally, I've been listening to a little Monkeybullman, and digging some Pandora Tranquil."

Name listed twice on the turn in sheet and mentioned as a fav composer by the contest host. Pandora has been sleeping with a certain someone I think....... O.o

On a serious note, looking forward to hearing the winners song.

I think it would be more appropriate for the artist who made the song to sumbit their own work under their name on here personally.

Maybe if the judges I selected weren't such fatasses, I would have reviews out.

Either way, expect more reviews within the hour.

Well, it'll be close.

Bjra, I could really use as many instrument samples from your V2 rockets song, I would use the full song, but if I have the instruments, it'll make it a lot easier, I don't have FL.

<PSYBOT>

Pros
Could have been a bit more progressive and added a few more things.

Cons
the lowered bitrate on the song really killed the quality.

Complexity: 9
Mastery: 8
Transition: 8
FX: 8
Build up: 7
Mood: dreamy/mild

Overall 8

<BJRA>

Pros
Good build up.

Nice beats and good transitions.

Very comprehensive, effects keep the hook.

The cheesy beginning added to the darkened atmosphere.

Cons
Lack of bass.

Some instrument volume settings.

Complexity: 6
Mastery: 9
Transition: 8
FX: 5
Build up: 8
Mood: Dreamy/Dark Ambient

Overall 8
Sounds like something I would make. Cheers.

It needs more optimization, the sounds all kinda mix together, and although that is good sometimes, it doesnt feel like it peaks ever in the song.

*smiles*
May I ask how many judges there were/are?

B0UNC3 CHRONAMUT PANDORA_TRANQUIL EXTRACY BJRA PSYBOT JON_H2O SPACLOCK INTRINSIK4 MANATEE_GOD and CHRISCORNELSUX11 have gone so far.

From the looks of it, unless there is another person who wasn't on the final list and got a review like MANATEE_GOD (Perhaps he was on the list earlier or I'm blind @_@).

There should be only 4 other people left.

piepie
RuckloM
TenchuX
napalm6b

Just thought i'd be helpfull and show who is left, looks this contest is almost over.

Response to Battle of the Audio Portal 2005-05-22 17:54:57


Thanks, I'm a little disoriented and quite dissapointed in this contest.

Which is why I'm so persistent on fixing the second.
