BEST-mix.net - DDR Simfile Tournament

There, sent two in.

Should have my files in by the end of Friday, if that's OK.

Bumped date in post to September 7th.

Cool, that will give me some more time to decide which simfiles I wish to add in; turns out one of the two I was originally eyeing is part of the BEST-mix 3 Community Pack. (The song is 'Take Me Out', for the record.)

Oh yeah. Also please check your files for sync in ddreamstudio. I got few offsynced file varying from 0.02 to even 0.06 in one case.

Cool. I'll be planning to enter The Soul Receiver (OSC4 ITG division) and Foggy Dew (r21freak.com Comp V). Expect the following changes:

-Improved song cuts (Original cut for Soul Receiver was really bad. New cut has no bpm changes.)
-Resync with DDReam Studio
-Overhauled hard/expert charts. (Particularly original Foggy Dew expert chart had a very awkward ending)

I hadn't heard of ddrdreamstudio before submitting my files. But when they were released initially I heard no sync complaints, so I don't think there will be an issue.

As I had been changing nearly all of the files by little* I will be sending them back soon for you to check if everything is ok with the file. We are still open for entries and everything is on good way.

* - offset changes in ddreamstudio, mp3 to ogg convert, filling missing tags, no changes has been made to any of the stepcharts

ogg generally syncs more consistently across different computers, or that's what i've heard

ogg:
- lighter with no quality loss
- works on ITG PC
- it is possible to set preview better

Of course if any of the step artists will be unhappy with new version of file I will bring back the old one.

Oh, right, ITG. My bad, carry on.

I have send emails to everyone who have send me anything (not counting latest entry, there is everything ok with that one).

edit:
no, will need to send mail to that guy too :P

What do you think? Does it fit? Anything you would like to have changed on it?

Just a reminder - I'm accepting files to this Friday. There are still lots of great simmakers that has not send anything yet - fix it now! :P

No offense, but I personally think it needs more work. The backdrop is way too contrasted and has ugly aliasing. Also, I really don't like the stroke bevel on the text. Finally, I think 'Best of' should be stylistically different from 'BEST-mix Artists,' particularly as far as colors go.
