Made you look. Now Breath Manualy.

Sorry for the lack of long comments. Most of the time I have trouble to describe why I dislike a certain port.

1. stellar - #tb{O_O} I'm speechless! brilliant port
2. agroover - Wow...just wow, better than the original
3. Another Medium - UNDERTALE - I like the samples and it's very well made
4. Dilemma
5. BadApple!!

11. airship - Not really a fan of the ?tuba? (or whatever it is), also very repetitive

Currently working on:
Project C

Finished project:
1.- stellar - Awesome. The instrument choices are very good.
2.- Another Medium - UNDERTALE - Well done! I really have no complaints.
3.- agroover - Nice port considering there are very few external samples (I think only the cymbals?).
4.- neo-angloise - Sounds good. Is this a composition?
5.-weather - Sounds funky. And I like it! IMO better than the original.
6.- Dilemma - I haven't heard the original but this sounds nicely done. I like the ambiance.
7.- gf-staff - It's nicely done but that orchestra hits sound very eeh to me.
8.- stage4 - I don't know the original (so I can compare) but I really don't like it compared to the others.
9.- Waterfall - Not bad, I think the other entries are a bit better compared to this though. also i really need to play undertale
10.- airship - While this isn't that bad it's not as surprising as the others.
11.- BadApple!! - i don't have what to say



1. dilemma - really lush sound, nice bassline. excellent use of panning effects. cool ambience.
2. agroover - quite nice. drums are. nice lead instrumentation. tremolo picked parts on the plucked strings are a little harsh and sound kind of out of place.
3. gf-staff - nice. cool rhythms, excellent use of pitch modulation. good bassline.
4. stellar - upbeat and catchy, nice laidback feel but a little uninteresting.
5. another medium - really truncated and suffers dearly for lack of a proper snare sample but the other stuff is well done.
6. weather - sounds decent but the instrumentation is too muddy and loose for an upbeat composition like this
7. neo-angloise - dig the composition a bunch but the instrumentation is pretty washed out and around the 40 second mark it gets busy to the point of being muddled.
8. stage 4 - decent but very thin and muddy. also some of the supporting lines are so quiet they might as well not even be there.
9. bad apple - sounds super thin and washed out. bass is emphasized when it shouldnt be. some irritating instrument choices.
10. waterfall - really bad choice to port. it just doesn't sound good without the nice reverby instrumentation of the original. you did the best you could but you really should have done something else.
11. airship - stringbass sounds way too tinny and robotic. not very much going on. just really boring to listen to.

agroover- Awesome stuff, not much to say about it.
stellar- Big fan of this, very jazzy.
dilemma- Very well done.
gf-staff- I like it, little too repetitive for me.
Another Medium- Instrumentation sounds a bit off, but this is the best that can be done with the restrictions of the contest.
neo-angloise- Nice composition but like erga said it's kinda washed out
weather- Again, something about the instrumentation bothers me.
BadApple!!- Not bad, but kinda annoying at times.
stage4- eh
Waterfall- Probably a bad choice to port like others have said.
airship- ehhhhhhhh
1. stellar: Beginning reminds me of Diao Ye Zong (withered leaf). I like the jazzy feeling. I like how the more complicated instruments are in the background.
2. Ancient Groover: I love the peaceful, spacey, Windows XP setup music feeling. Really nice instrument choice
3. BadApple!!: It has a really nice feeling of somewhere between PC-98 and SMW.
4. neo-angloise: Reminds me of Mario Kart DS for some reason. I really like this one.
5. gf-staff: Groovy, I like the melody. I feel like there's some notes the electric guitar couldn't reach?
6. Good Weather: The SMW and custom samples blend together really well at the beginning. Very upbeat! :D
7. Dilemma: The title fits very well. I like the horn and the wave sounds.
8. Another Medium: Custom samples are really nice
9. stage4: Short and simple, it's alright.
10. SMB1 Airship (SMAS remix): Instruments give it a nice SMAS-ey feeling.
11. Waterfall: I like the gradual build-up, but it feels a bit empty at the beginning. Too sad for my taste

(the only song that I know is a port is Bad Apple!!)

1 - Ancient Groover - I really like the juxtaposition between an archaic, ancient feeling and a more modern, groovy one. Very good work!
2 - stellar - I like it. Very jazzy, in my opinion.
3 - Another Medium (Undertale? Still need to play that.) - I love the port (if it is one), and the fact this was (probably) done by ear makes this even better!
4 - neo-angolise - I love this one; I like the use of instrumentation.
5 - gf-staff - A little repetitive, but overall, a very groovy song.
6 - Dilemma - Meh. I just don't like this one - the waves sound a bit washed out, in my opinion.
7 - Waterfall - I do like this song, yet I feel that it takes too long to actually start; the build-up is too long, in my opinion.
8 - Good Weather - Generic, yet the mix of custom samples in parts really helps. I thought custom samples weren't allowed though...
9 - BadApple!! - It transitions between one channel and everyfuckingone very quickly, in my opinion. No sense of transition; just "SECTION 1" then "SECTION 2", not "SECTION 1" then "BUILD-UP", then "SECTION 2". Not a fan, unfortunately.
10 - SMB1 Airship (SMAS remix) - Not really a fan here. To me, it sounds like the pitch of the entire song is a little low. I can tell this because, whoever made this, tried to remix the song from SMM, and in comparison, this song is too low in pitch.
11 - stage4 - A tad boring, in my opinion. Nothing really... changes.

And that's all. If you have any questions/complaints about my ranking, feel free to PM me after voting closes. Good luck!

Have a nice voting!
#1 Sigma - this is good
#2 bzam - lacks proper backing and panning but is good also
#3 gimmick - dont like sonic that much
#4 Mushishi - Makuronsuhoiasj - really nice song that has balancing problems. try to listen to your volume better
#5 not tidal plant - dont like this sonic that much also. that vibrato game is too strong too
#6 checkin - dont use surround echo like that it sounds weird
#7 kanazumi - the rse soundtrack is too dear to my heart to let this pass. the volume balancing on this one sounds off as well. some of the samples are detuned. the echo isn't very nice. there's also severe dissonance between the quality of the samples (some very high, some very low). it's not bad though, just not as good as the other ones
1. Sigma - <Palcomix> CCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM
2. Mushishi - Makuranokouji - it's makura kouji ya damn weebs
3. gimmick - it's better than the original tbh
4. kanazumi - real suffering is not known (i need to continue alpha sapphire)
5. checkin - meh
6. bzam - again, meh
7. not tidal plant - it's a good port i guess

Made you look. Now Breath Manualy.

Better do it right now or I'll probably forget.

#1 gimmick.spc: I'm not a big fan of Sonic music, but this is pretty good. There is not much to say.
#2 Mushishi - Makuranokouji.spc: Pretty cool. It kinda reminds me of Valkyrie Profile, and in general sounds really good. Could have gotten the first place on my list if it wasn't because the pulse sample feels kinda forced and out of place, which is a shame. I hope you make another version without it.
#3 kanazumi.spc: Not my favorite from RSE, but it isn't a bad port. The echo is a bit too high and overpowering though. Also, the organ is a bit detuned.
#4 not tidal plant.spc: Odd ADSR choices and detuned percussion, but it's a cool song.
#5 checkin.spc: Awesome percussion samples, but the song is eh.
#6 Sigma.spc: The guitar honestly sounds awful, and the square is a bit hard on the ears when it reaches the higher notes because of its volume and the echo. Lacks the power of the original, especially at the intro.
#7 bzam.spc: It's a cool song, I guess. No offense to whoever ported this, but it sounds like a 2007 Youtube video in terms of sample quality.
