Different

This actually sounds different, builds up the mood, too bad it never releases, but keeps the mood and then just go at another theme. This loops as hell, but too bad, like the others it´s way to short.

You need to make a really fast paced song or a really long song.

these tracks rocks, every single one, I`m just waiting for you to make a really crappy track... that would spoil your page somewhat. Like me.
But I`m not into such, so keep up the good work!

Like!

DJRaveR responds:

I like this alot, althought the start is dull it really is a great track. Anyway, thanks for the reviews :P.

meh.

A MRAC review, zomg.
------
Effects are fun indeed, but somtimes it turns out making the track really bad. The over-usement of this brass synth made it shimmering, annoying, and also makes the clarity VERY bad.
And why did you use HM`s ChilledMasta as the background? That makes it really weird, and it makes most people think you
steal, maybe you didn`t, seeing that it is somewhat different, but still.

This sounds like screaming and pained people making a synth, and it really didn`t turn out any well. The end was way too abrupt, only to fit the 3-minute limit. I didn`t like this, sorry.

Originality: 7 (Original with those effects)
Diversity: 6 (Somewhat, but not much)
Clarity: 2 (Awful)
Effort: 5 (This needs more work. A lot more.)
Catchiness/Appeal: 2.5 (I wouldn`t bother playing this twice)
Overall: 4 (This needs a lot more)

Adjusted MRAC score: 15.3

mhb responds:

yes!!!!!!!

Don`t change your name

I had a hard time finding you! Here`s a MRAc review, shame on you
-------
Sounds really not so dreamy, but still. You made this sound more like the original, a royal theme with a twist.
Still, you`ve too made it an original and exiting track. The beginning gave me NO idea about what would come later in the track, so I`d say you have a great originality.
You changed the main melody a bit, but I can hear the melody and bassline though.
Well, for the downsides, the orgel-sounding instrument was very loud, and makes the other instruments sounding like more of a soup.
Good work, it`s one of the better remixes here!

Originality: 9 (Different)
Diversity: 6 (A bit, not that much)
Clarity: 9.2 (CLEAR)
Effort: 8.5 (Not rushed)
Catchiness/Appeal: 6 (Not very much, sorry)
Overall: 7.8 (A good and original track)

Adjusted MRAC score: 56.6

Don't change my name? it's too late I've done it now! is that why you had a hard time finding me?

Thanks SBB for the review!

Peace Out!

Hi!

A mrac review, lol
---------
This could have been a great track, but it didn`t go as well as I`d expect. It was very slow, and therefore it may sound boring.
The pianos in the start was a neat addition, and you played them really well. The following synth, I though only made it worse. Since it adds a sick (literally) feeling to it, and that really didn`t fit.
Still you have great clarity.

You have done a great switch of it, and you get score for your originality. I loved the beats in the middle. You did great work changing the track into something totally different. But there are some flaws here, which I didn`t like.

Originality: 9.8 (A very, VERY original remix)
Diversity: 7.6 (OK)
Clarity: 10 (Clearer than water)
Effort: 7.8 (Could actually have been rushed, but I don`t think so)
Catchiness/Appeal: 7.8 (Quite good)
Overall: 8.8 (A great track with the little extra)

Adjusted MRAC score: 73

mah sxy mrac review

Oh, and SBB`s mrac review of course.
-----------
You are the only one who have submitted a party-ish track!
It went really cool, though. I liked the style, it was really original, but the upbeating and offtoning in the end didn`t appeal much to me.
The voices? Fair enough, added a nice style to it, but they are really low and it`s hard to understand what they say, so it`s like I try more to hear what they say, and that takes some focus away from the song.
At 0:39, you did something which I liked VERY much. You toke a different variation! So it doesn`t get as dull as listening to the same stuff all the way through. You have the most diversity-filled track in this remix contest, great work, I loved this.

Originality: 9.5 (Holy fuck, didn`t see that coming)
Clarity: 8.5 (great, but there are places...)
Diversity: 9.9 (This had most of it)
Effort: 9 (OH, there`s work here)
Catchiness/Appeal: 10 (Play it more PARTY PLZ)
Overall: 9.5 (A great finale to this contest)

Adjusted MRAC score: 89.9 (Officially highest scoring)

mramra mia

Mrac review from SBB. Also, cocks.
-------
Well, this wasn`t the most original song of them, it doesn`t seem much different from the original except for the change into an amp.
You like effects too, I see.
But too bad they make the song clear as motor oil (That`s black, right?) and sounds really weird, in a bad way. There was a little part in the song with only the bassline, when I thought: Oh, my ears feel much better now! But too bad you went on with the bad-ass synthamp again! >:-(
I didn`t like this song, it could have been improved quite a lot, but it`s really fancy, though.

Originality: 5.5 (Rock, rock rock, cock (I like rock, but well...)
Clarity: 3 (HARSH)
Diversity: 4 (More diversity please)
Effort: 7 (I see much working...)
Catchiness/appeal: 6.5 (I could play this a lot)
Overall: 5 (You need more clarity and less monotyphicality)

Adjusted MRAC score: 28

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks. I appreciate all the help, I'll try not to load on too much effects in the next MRAC.

Your MRAC review by SBB has arrived!

Here`s some official MRAC review I made up.
--------
Shit! It sounds like a totally different song in the beginning!
However, I will accept this sinc I heared this by the tropmet orchestra afterwards.

The man voice was ok, but a neutral addition which didn`t add more than it toke away. You have all a jazz song needs, but it was poorly written together and at the end it`s more like you misplaced the different parts totally.

The heavy deafy megabass was a really nice addition, and added boosting into it. But I don`t know with the piano, it`s really good but it gets annoying after a while.

The end was sick! This time literally! It made me feel sick and it added a lot of originality to it, but the main point is that... it`s no enjoying listening!

Originality: 9.8 (Shit, what is this!)
Clarity: 3.5 (A lot of noticable clipping in this.)
Diversity: 6.5 (Had diversity, but feels really short)
Effort: 4.5 (More effort could have been added to this.
Catchiness/Appeal: 3.5 (Insanely annoying the fifth time)
Overall: 4.8 (The structure was awful. You were unlucky with this)

Adjusted MRAC score: 25.7

Whoa

Your styule is so weird, so is this.
A really laidback, but still energic at times, track. I could say that about most of your tunes.
So... ya

DJRaveR responds:

YA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Umm, thanks.

A R3M1X0R!

Whoa. This song, there`s really a lot I can say about it. This time I must make this review a little bit more systemathic than I use.

-(Main part)-

The start was not good at all and made me feel sicker than anything.

It got better in the song, but it was way too faint and such, so it didn`t give any musical feel, and rather made me want to turn the stuff off.

A good beginning is so very improtant to have for an enjoyable and good song. It turned MUCH better after a while when you turned away all the shit synths and toka a mega bass-lead-like synth.

Also, this is not the Boss Theme, it`s the Bowser theme!
But who cares.

You have some awesome and dominating percussion samples which made the song much better and made it rock out at it`s full potential.

The way you filled the background with countermelodies made the song really ass-kicking.
I especially liked the semi-arabic countermelody in the middle with that synthie.

May turn out too strung in the full song as it`s really loud with all the instruments upon each other.

When you brought back all the shit from the start, I was really disappointed. It was really not neccesary at all, and it could have continued just as normal.

-(Pros and Cons)-

Now I will look at what was good and bad.
+ Awesome drum and percussion
+ Countermelody paradise
+ Some instruments were unique and really well used
+ Very nice structure
+ Good middle part and end
+ Nice placement of the instruments at middle
+ Sick background effects and pads
+ Could play OVER AND OVER/Awesome catchiness
+ HOLY SHIT, what a mixing!
- Awful beginning
- Bad placement of instruments at beginning and end
- Too faint at times
- Overuse of Modulation Bend
. Strung as hell
So... well, I liked it more than I disliked it ;)

-(Improvement chances)-

-I think you could have the beginning with a more straight, direct synth like a runner or a basic synth.

-Don`t use modulation bend to much. It may sound cool, but in this case it turned out crap.

- Know your limits. It can have a lot of synths, effects and stuff, but don`t use it more than you want. I don`t know if you did, but it was way too much sound here, and it blends and such after a while.

-(Scores)-

Originality: 9
Totally redone version of the Bowser Boss theme track! But not totally done by yourself, the melody was at times very much like the original.

Clarity: 6
It was Video Game, yes, but it`s more of the Techno genre!
Also, very loud and strung at times. That`s a minus.

Diversity: 10
You are KING.

Effort: 9
This toke long long long long long long long time to make, but if you did like my notes said, it would have been better.

Overall: 8
Awesome, but something`s not good.

EDN!

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Wow man, you typed a handful, but you were really honest (unlike the other reviewers lol). You gave some good advice, which I will have to keep in mind when I write my next song. Thanx much, SBB.

(SBB ATE MY BABIES!!!)

whyyyyyyyy

Well, why are you so sad?
It`s a thanksgiving theme and not supposed to be so sad and slow, better be happy and funny than sad and dramatic!

*Yet not invented Saaaad Faaaace Maaaaan*

Well, this sounds like a Maestro song, so it`s really good.
All of your instruments are fitting the theme, and all melodies are NOT fitting the theme, but they are fitting the instruments, so that`s a paradox I doubt I will even solve >(

great work on this.

*Insterts Fifen Pills*

aspachi responds:

i rushed this song , i'm not good with my melodies but i'm good at combining elements of my music. that's something i myself need to solve. anyone else who helps me i won't beable to learn the way of audio creation. thanks sbb hope to see you around some more =D.
