20061203|Fascination MaxX (K2 Chaos Remix)

Anyway, my only concern here are the graphics.

What's wrong with them?

Well, it's just I've seen them before and the text looks like it's taken from the Fasination Maxx words from the original banner. You can't use copyrighted graphics, IIRC, so that's what I think. Otherwise I think there are no problems.

That's a problem I originally brought up, I thought they were to be replaced with these bgs and banners:

I DID replace them with those... what is everyone getting all worked up for, lol?

I'm a bit confused now, lol. Are you sure you installed them properly?

Yes and I even tested it on Stepmania and both graphics work fine

Okay then, now I don't understand where Chicky is coming from then...

He probably downloaded the one I uploaded on FFR and thought i was using the graphics from that version instead of the graphics you gave me

Ahh. That would explain it!

Yep. But now that I've seen the new graphics, I approve. ^_^

So now we wait for the final word of qualification?

is this kita-keru's track only - i see it says it's a remix of the ddr song - in my mind i'm not sure whether permission should be tracked down from the original song author or to make this as qualifies. i might let chris handle this one.

*i've been thinking of it the past couple days - sorry for the long wait though you guys*

Well, I could bring up the DM Ashura remix issue again, but that's been addressed already.

When I made the track, the only part I made in any relation to the DDR track (FaxX) is the lead synth and piano. The bass, drums and other synths were of my creation.

The FaxX lead synth was rearranged to retain little to no melodic relation to FaxX. The synth is used for an entirely different melody.

The beginning and end have quotes from the SuperNOVA announcer (reminiscent of DM Ashura's "MAX Forever") however, there are only two quotes.

I guess the term "Remix" in regards to my song could be summarized as taking a few recognizable elements from the song and rearranging them in a way that creates a different melody (like what STM200 did with "PARANOiA ETERNAL") and adding in custom-made elements not found in the song.

The end result is a new song that is reminiscent of the original.

If you haven't heard the song, you may understand this analysis better by listening to it at http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/view...8477&sub=65362

That being said, I hope it cleared things up.

Don't be sorry, I realize that this entry caused a bit of controversy, so I couldn't imagine it being your fault

No, really, other than the lack of an explosion noise (it really did make me sad), the song is really sweet. Great job. ;)
