Huh. This guy. I haven't seen any of his videos, so I can't rate this week. I've been told however his composing style is very similar to my own.

Hmm....
90%
Sticks w/ MPC stuffs and limits, and needs to be taught low A, but is still respectable.
And a bit too much final fantasy.

Like KM said, a little too much FF, and the fact that he hasn't released a Mario Paint song in a long time, but he did create a Mario Paint tutorial, which helped me when I was starting.

If every one of his songs was like his last 2 pieces, I'd give him at least a 94 or 95. But they aren't. In fact, more than half of them are mediocre, and the rest are nothing particularly special. His refusal to use MIDI notation really hurts his composing IMO. He gets an 80% from me.

HC is more known for his Let's plays than his MPCs, though I will rate him a generous 90% on his compositions, mainly because he has made improvements over previous pieces, reworking a few of them. I'm a huge FF nerd, so I will give him kudos for making a good chunk of them, though there are some that are lacking instruments, and he could go beyond what he does. His battle theme from DW3 is his best IMO.

most of his songs are majorly lacking background instruments, have off percussion, strange instrument choices, the list goes on
He only uses the original soundfont, but he doesn't even use it that well

I'd give HCBailey a 87%. He was good but he's been lacking lately in quantity. Plus his old stuff has aged

I'll say 84%.
He was a really important figure in the MPC community back in the day. His videos definitely have the nostalgic factor, and I'll give him credit for taking on some fairly complex songs and making them sound decent without dickspeed or soundsets. The videos of his that are good (like his last few) are pretty darn good, but the ones that aren't are very average. He's fairly scattershot in quality, some being really good, and others not that good. While I know he's dealing with some limitations, I know that in some songs, he probably could have done more than he did, like adding in more background parts.

79% He just doesn't cut up to the jib, in my opinion. I haven't seen anything truly spectacular. His songs are there and easy to recognize and all, but there's always quite a bit missing. If only he'd stop out of the easy road a little bit and do something extremely complicated. +5 JohnFreeman>_> Sorry, Freeman. +5 Redranger2001

85%. IMO, he's not too impressive, and he's fairly hit-and-miss.

73%, for some time he was like MCDonalds of MPC (quantity>quality), his songs lack soul, I understand that he was one of first MPCers (just like , Cat, me and 2 or 3 more) but even after composing an insane ammount of songs using MIDI he couldn´t achieve a great timeless MPC song (i.e. ´s Power Rangers), none of his songs aged well. +5 JohnFreeman It may look like a low score but for me: 70% - average composer 80% - above average- good composer 90% - Wonderful composer 100% - ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Post edited due to EDIT: ARGH never mind, can´t escape from it lol

Don't rate to hard, guys. I don't know, maybe it's the fact that most of his compositions are a nostalgia trip for me, but I have a soft spot for HCBailly. It's the same way I feel about AngryTigerP. Granted, none iof his compositions will make you say, "WOW!", or, "That was the best thing I've ever seen!", but each one is unique and you will definately have a tingling sensation and will say, "I've never seen anything like it..."

87%. The main problem with HCBailly's compositions are his song choices. Most of the music he makes require strings and held-out notes, which are virtually impossible to replicate in MPC 1.0. When he does the unusual fast or upbeat song, it sounds great. (See Golden Sun battle theme and DW3 battle theme to see what I'm talking about.)

85% ( I'm basing this on skill ). HCBailly is what I consider, an MPC'er that believed that quantity > quality. His songs are pretty bland compared to most other mario painters, and there always appears to be something missing.

The epitome of average, though I must say his most recent works sound good, but only at best. 82%
Gotta give him props, though. If you were around when he was really serious about MPC, you would notice that he would release 3-4 videos per week, fufilling every request that was made out to him, provided it was from some pre-PS2 Square game.
Still, as has been stated, quantity does not make up for lack of quality.

He didn't really do the videos that he wanted to do. He'd just fulfill requests. Sure, that's a good thing if you wanted t see a song really badly on MPC, but he wouldn't be motivated to make it awesome. He'd just BS it.
+5... me, I guess. Eh.
