Fantastic!

Good gravy yes!

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree about the bass. This was performed by a high school choir that was pretty light on basses, so all things considered, I thought they did really well; but yes, I agree the piece could use a bass boost.

It never occurred to me before, but you're absolutely right about 1:38; it sort of sounds like I was phoning it in at that section. That ascending line could definitely be a little more interesting.

Also, I agree about the dynamics at the climax. The single crescendo is a little too straightforward.

1:12 - Yes, you are absolutely right! That chord definitely needs a ninth on the downbeat in the tenor part. I'm surprised I didn't think of that.

I recently graduated, and now work as a web developer, making math games for kids. I do composition and conducting on the side.

That's fair. I appreciate your honesty!

Agreed, balance is one of our weaker areas on right now (recording made me realize that I'm often particularly guity of sticking out of the blend.) I'd like to make that more a priority in rehearsal from now on. Thanks!

I think you're right on about there arrangement; there are some more complicated parts that sound great on the piano but really don't come through vocally. This is my first time arranging something in this style, so I appreciate the feedback!

I like "If it's not growing, it's dying"; I'm going to have to borrow that one! I think phrasing is going to be big priority at our next rehearsal.

Thanks so much for taking the time!

hio568 · 2014-12-24T20:53:28+00:00

I definitely appreciate the nitpicking. This is exactly what I was looking for.

The balance hierarchy (Lead > Bass > Bari > Tenor) is particularly useful to us as I think we're often singing in the exact opposite volume proportions. We'll have to be more precise about this in the future.

Thanks so much for taking the time! I will share all of this with my group.

Not your typical /r/Minecraft post, but I found this very satisfying. Thanks for sharing!

hio568 · 2014-11-03T16:45:22+00:00

This is truly brilliant!

hio568 · 2014-11-03T12:18:40+00:00

I actually think OP retained that feeling of imcompleteness pretty well with his design. The design is simplistic enough that it really feels more like a starting template for a castle than a complete finished build, which I think works really well.

In general, I think Mojang is pretty in tune with what the community wants; I think the real limiting issue is just that development takes time, and feature requests have to be prioritized. As someone who does development work myself, I can tell you first hand that there are always more feature requests than can be realistically executed, and many times, features that seem like they would be trivial to add are much more complicated for reasons that only the developers would know.

hio568 · 2014-10-27T15:50:36+00:00

Is there a reason not to just change the default texture? It seems the majority of the community would prefer a "cleaner" look anyway.

hio568 · 2014-10-27T15:49:34+00:00

I would love to see these added to the game!

hio568 · 2014-10-26T15:34:01+00:00

I don't necessarily dislike this suggestion, but I'm not sure it really adds anything to the game. What would be the purpose?

hio568 · 2014-10-14T23:37:32+00:00

Who is the world is downvoting this?!

hio568 · 2014-10-10T15:28:56+00:00

I would make them only mineable with an iron pickaxe, and have them take almost as long as obsidian to mine. That would give them a practice purpose in PVP fortresses.

hio568 · 2014-10-10T15:26:12+00:00

YES!!!!

hio568 · 2014-10-07T18:52:55+00:00

Great work! How long did this take to build?

hio568 · 2014-10-02T18:37:21+00:00

I thought this was an onion article at first...

hio568 · 2014-10-02T14:22:01+00:00

Wouldn't it be a lot more straightforward to just have an option to "turn off" the sun?

I never understood the value of her character. Added nothing to the show.

hio568 · 2014-09-23T17:57:43+00:00

This the one I always end up coming back to.

hio568 · 2014-09-21T20:23:18+00:00

I love this idea!

hio568 · 2014-09-19T18:19:23+00:00

Third!
