Both have a slight quirk at the beginning, I'm trying to figure out exactly whats causing them, but they are there for now.

The render thingy is probably set to "Wrap remainder". This is useful for looping and stuff. Set it to "Leave Remainder", or cut if you want.

Yeh that sounds right.. Wrap is good for making seamless loops but you wouldnt want it on your full song.. You'll hear the reverb tail right at the start. Which is, I think, your problem..

I'm challenged for Ice Cap? Man I better get something done soon then, though this is pretty good.

You know what, I accidently had it on wrap. I don;t remember putting it there, but it was. So thanks you guys.

Oh & a quick question. If any of you have listened to my mixes, could you help me out. The help being, can you tell what songs they are? Are they too liberal? Basically, do they sound different enough, while still sounding similiar to the source material? Any help would be appreciated.

Ok I only meant to start a wip, but I basically finished my song.

S3&K - Survive the Cold = http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/roetaka/index.html

So here's my Ice Cap done in a very Hybrid style. Very different to other Ice Cap mixes. Enjoy.

Pretty interesting WIPs guys :D I'm impressed already.

The ending of your song is a tad weird Kanjika, might be the sudden, ethnic feel from the percussions 10sec before the end. Other than that, i'm still wow-ed like last time.

RoeTaKa, that new view of Ice Cap surprized me. I've listened the song on my speakers, and the drums are on the verge to mute everything else (when i walk away from the comp a bit, all i hear is the drum beat and the synth that plays a part of the melody sometimes).

Sadorf, each time i hear a remix from you, it gets better and better. It's the usual techno-ish remix of Ice Cap, but it's different from any of the other mixes made on the song. Gotta finish it *nod*


I got one question for sithlord, did you get any news from MusicallyInspired? Or he won't give the project a try? I'm thinking he hasn't come online yet, but i wanna know. Imho it's sad if he doesn't, his remix is pretty kickass 8)

I'm guessing you're gonna run out of bandwith in about 2 seconds so I hosted it here as well.

http://www.rayza.net/misc/S3_K_-_Survive_the_Cold.mp3

I also noticed a few problems.

Around 1:35, that transition is pretty sloppy. Sounds like the timing ain't right. Maybe try to smooth that up a bit.

2:08, lots of clipping on that big hit there. All distorted and ugly. Try fitting the volume levels in a little better there.. Near the end of the song when more instruments come in, there is more unwanted distortion. Most likely due to the main level of the tune being too loud, turn your main level down or some individual parts down. Overall its too much volume.

Otherwise its nice and original. Good stuff so far..

RoeTaKa
03-31-2005, 07:13 PM
Thanks, and thanks for hosting it too :). I've had barely any sleep over two days so my ears are incredibly worn out. I'll work on this a bit more tomorrow or something.

i was messing around and i made that pattern and put it on the end...its all orchestral percussion though, and i never meant to get an ethnic feel, just groove 8)

Btw, ill have a newer WIP up soon guys. This ones more interesting.

Very good work. Surprisingly well arranged and relatively low amount of time to complete. Even now, it really does the original justice. I only have one recommendation - to switch things up a little, it may be a good idea to use a different lead instrument at some point, possibly for the "interlude" near the end. I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

Sora
04-01-2005, 05:10 AM
I know it's very orchastrated to have such a long intro... but it just got annoying after a while. It went from comming it really slow to downright fast.
other than that it's great as usual. :D

edit: further listening showed that around 2:27 when it goes back to the original melody, it's sort of an odd transition back to what we heard already. Hope you can understand my bad explaining... :wink:

It's very good, but the parts that sound like FF battle themes just seem like the completely wrong mood for the level to me.

Also, I hope the applause isn't on the final version.

Kanjika - I love the latest version!

The section at 2:04 is really cool, and I love the burst of energy at 2:15... it's really a beautiful thing ^^

The repetitive issue is completely gone now, so yeah. Very good work :)

There's one other thing I meant to say earlier that i'll say now though. This is just a stupid little thing, and i'm probably the only one who thinks it, but yeah... the end sounds like it needs an extra "Da-Da!".

Cause right now the final bar is just "Da-Da!" and then silence... It feels like there should be a second double-stab on the second and a half beat. Hell, you could have a third stabby thing on the 4th beat, it'd be like a triplet thingo.

Yeah, i'm not good with musical terminology :P

Ohwell, keep up the awesome work!

Xerol, sorry but I'm not ready yet.

I'm probably going to get dropped at this point, finale gives me too much trouble and my arrangement I dont think is solid enough at this point to throw it out there with these other outstanding ones. At this point I dont know if I will make the deadline but I will still try, and if I dont make it, that shouldnt be a problem because there are several other great mixes over mine for the same song. :wink:

Vilecat
04-03-2005, 01:34 AM
Kanjika, your song still makes me go wow each time i hear it. It's so energic, i can see Sonic run the last "straight" line to the final boss with determination like he never had before.

I love the new parts, it's really refreshing. With the flute part around 2:04, i was expecting a 2nd flute to accompany the 1st before the violin would come in (it'd make the part slightly longer though). For the percussions at the end : ever thought of going crazy on timpani? :roll:

I can't think of anything else to say about the song, it's put me in a state of wow-ness tat keeps me from hearing if anything could need to be fixed or so.

Keep up the good work guys! I can't wait to hear more of the project.

It looks like theres quite a few people who sith needs to hear from, but hopefully most people will meet the deadline. WHat happens if we have tracks with no WIPs though? I'd be happy to help out since im only doing one song. I also probably wont do much updating to sky sanctuary until after the deadline. Its already good enough right now (IMO).

Mr. Fox
04-04-2005, 02:38 AM

Same link as before:

EDIT:
what needs to be fixed:
-fade out is sorta at an odd note.
-the string synth at 1:33 will be removed

what's been added:
-more bass
-got rid of the intro
-added different drums
-added some other crap that I can't remember

and to Hippy Kanjika: are you talking about from 0:50 to 0:53 or the whole thing after 0:50?
cause if it's from 0:50 to 0:53, then it's just because they're's no kick. which comes in at 0:54.
that can be fixed. But if it's the whole thing than I can't think of anything else to add.

I kinda rushed into this without knowing really what's going on... I apologise! :wink:

To tell the truth, As I didn't know about the project, I was doing the song mostly beacause it was DAMN fun, i had plans of submitting it in VGMix or something, but someone actually told me to come and participate so I kinda rushed into things...
Again, im sorry for that...

Im gonna leave the song in this thread... It's not finished yet, and has some room to grow... If you guys come up with something better, great!! :)

PS.: Since Holy Warrior Azar is jumping off the boat, can I have a try at Sky Sanctuary? (if there's nobody doing it, i can leave Hydro City to Gman and yoshi_84 and try it, on the contrary, I keep my version of Hydro City Here)

PS.: Is there any song, not yet being covered by someone?

Read the first post in this thread, you can see all the rules there and who does which song.

Note that the initiator of this project encourages anybody to take part, even if that means competing with others.

I can only agree with him on that point. I'd rather have just the best song of three than the song of whoever managed to sign up for it first.

Yeah, it makes sense, but I mean, if there was any uncovered song it would be better to take it and make sure all songs are taken... That's what aI meant... i guess...

Yeah im gonna leave it here, which ever is the best, sweet... Thanks for the feedbeack by the way, im gonna start working on it right away! :D

PS.: can I realease the song on VGMix and keep it in the project? (no problem if I can't, just making sure I don't make a possible big mistake).

You can relax for now :D , i think im gonna stick with my Hidrocity one, firstly beacause it keeps me busy enough, and because I don't wanna just start remixing everything (and because im a slow guy, since I spend a lot of time in school and etc)...

Besides, EVERYTHING of Sonic 3 & K is just brilliant, so if I am to remix something else, I will think carefully about it...

I quite like what is going on so far, the idea seems promissing and different.

Some of the synths indeed sound very flat, perheaps some reverb (very little, tough) would fix that up.

I don't really have too much to comment for now, this song could go everywhere from a hard rocking trance electro track, to a funky psicodelic (and quite strange actually) song... I have to wait to see... But nice job so far!

Thanks guys, I agree that I like where it's going but it's funny... with my burn-your-bridges style that that'll probably be about a 10th of the material used in the actual finished package... I'll probably go in a few different directions with a very eccentric and disjointed feel.

As for whether or not DCT is still game for his other song; I'm afraid you'll have to ask him. :D

Indeed he is.

Special Stage is coming along cool, but Carnival Night Zone was kicking my ass; I think LAOS will go a good job with it, as evidenced from that WIP. Don't worry, I'll have something by the deadline to show my progress.

I would, it's just that, uh, one of their rules states that WIPs aren't allowed, and also anything using samples or melodies from copyrighted material is disallowed. So, that pretty much rules me out...any other ideas?

EDIT: Oh and one more thing - my WIP is actually complete. Getting it hosted somewhere is all I need.

Ooops sorry... Dind't mean to do that :oops:

I kinda rushed into this without knowing really what's going on... I apologise! :wink:

To tell the truth, As I didn't know about the project, I was doing the song mostly beacause it was DAMN fun, i had plans of submitting it in VGMix or something, but someone actually told me to come and participate so I kinda rushed into things...
Again, im sorry for that...

Im gonna leave the song in this thread... It's not finished yet, and has some room to grow... If you guys come up with something better, great!! :)

PS.: Since Holy Warrior Azar is jumping off the boat, can I have a try at Sky Sanctuary? (if there's nobody doing it, i can leave Hydro City to Gman and yoshi_84 and try it, on the contrary, I keep my version of Hydro City Here)

PS.: Is there any song, not yet being covered by someone?

Hey, you don't need to apologize. :) It's all good. It seems like Gman and I are the ones getting in the way of you since we haven't produced a WIP (disregard that lame first one that was just by me back on page five or something) and since everyone loves yours. Who knows what's gonna happen, though.

I'll probably go in a few different directions with a very eccentric and disjointed feel.

Wooohooo that's gold!
Kinda reminds me of Shnabubula's remixes!


Hunter's Community Chest (http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01267) = probably my favourite OCR.

So yeah, you could say, though I've delved into and loved the 'genre' before, that Shnabubla's been an inspiration. :D

The music you've written is excellent, but the qaulity of production drags it down a lot. The stings sound fake and lifeless, and when everything comes together it's just like a blur of sound (I think it even clips?). It's good, but you need to work on that production stuff. I'd be more specific, but i'm in a bit of a hurry. Keep working at it though, other than production, it's good so far!

The strings are indeed fakish, HOWEVER... I know this will sound completely nuts, but have thought about putting some distorcion on them? Yeah, I know it seems ridiculous, but give ir a try... Because it reminds me some of the Rasputina's works, and that sweet! If it's not a big deal for you, try it out, just on the intro, see what comes out of it...

Overall, a promissing and tasty arrengment! :D

I kind of like antipode's better. If only because it's creative, but still easily recognizable.
But perhaps also because I'm kind of against the idea of these songs having lyrics. (I have difficulty evenconcieving of the possibility that lyrics to any of these songs can be both relevant and good.)

Thanks Upthorn - I was curious about something though. What do you think of instruments I'm using and the level on the drums? The second theme at the end needs some work, I know, but I was curious if there's much of anything anyone wants majorly changed about the first part.

Upthorn
04-07-2005, 09:55 AM
Personally, I liked your instruments alot. My only real issue is with the first 30 seconds, which sound vaguely like a gimmicky THX thing.

I think the drums are good where they are, it gives it a kind of ambient feel, which I think is really cool.

Some of the synths are still placeholders, and the drums are probably going to end up sounding completely different, but this is what it sounds like right now.

For the most part I like this, however there is an issue of key. The piano in the background needs to chance key with the melody. The first real major instance of this problem is at 0:56. It just sounds like two different keys clashing together, and thats not good. The way this song is structured is in a way that the song changes to 4 different keys in a metter of 8 measures. So when the melody changes key, the piano needs to as well, to keep things together.

Kajinka's Sky Sanctuary is GREAT.
Maybe the best ReMix I've heard here in a long while. A complete song that give you whatever you want from the SS tune. Approved.

Tech quality (samples, EQ, echo, ...): 29/30
Interpretation, style, ideas: 29½/30
One word evaluation: "awesome"

Mr. Fox
04-07-2005, 06:25 PM
Menu Molity: Wow!!! Quite a different ReMix! This project is coming out full of surprises hahaha!!
I don`t really know why, but it reminds me of a DK song... It has a nice groove to it, and a good ambience too. Keep it up.

Sacrosanct Skyway: Some minor EQing problems, but and OK song! I am not very fond of the source material so I can`t say much! But it is very good nonetheless!

Flippin Twankies: DAMN! You`ve got the groove man! :D Loved the fat bass you used, and this is just so good to listen to! It`s relaxing and grooving!!! :wink:
My only complaint go to that freaking voice... sample... ayei... stuff that you put there. I would encourage you not to put it (my ReMix also had voices like this, not very cool hahaha)... But overall this is definitely very good!!!

Overall: Im impressed with the range of styles this project is reaching, I mean, we don`t have any dominating style that`s very good.

I need help! The FTP I would upload my file to has been having trouble. Can anyone do it for me? E-mail me at hetcenus@yahoo.com.br and I'll send the file. Thank you.

EDIT: Got it. Problem solved. Here's the file

http://hetcenus.sitesled.com/IvoryGadgetWIP.mp3

As you see, the name of the song is Ivory Gadget. Guess why... Actually I thought of giving it a name like Hard-Yellowish-White-Substance-Used-In-Piano-Keys Gadget, but it would be too long. It's a piano-solo version of Chrome Gadget.

Bad points: Low quality (I'm trying to do a better recording), I couldn't make the melody sound more different from the original and I'm still looking for other arrangements for the left hand. This lack of creativity is killing me...

Good points: I leave it to the listeners.

Thank you again!

IvoryGadget:Huum... I think emotionally you found your way pretty nicely, but I have a few complaints. First of all, you are right, the recording is really bad, also I think your playing is a little bit static on the beguining (im no pianist, so I can't say for sure, im just telling how I feel :wink: ), the arregement pleases me a lot, but there's repetition in the middle... Nice WIP so far, but there are things to be fixed, I think.

Inner Sanctuary: Gosh, Sky Sanctuary must be the most popular song in this project hahaha :D . My heart still belongs to the orquestral version Kanjika did, but I don't deny this is some very good stuff! I was missing some good old happy technos tracks, and this just hits the right button on the right time! Great! :D I think the lead synth could be a little clearer tough, in fact, the whole thing could be louder (and more bass pleaseee), overall a very nice arregment. It flows very nicely!

Very good considering the amount of time since your last release.

Hey, yoshi_84 deserves some feedback here. I just love the way you and Gman are taking this. There isn't a better style to fit this song, I think. My one complaint is right at :15, the style abruptly changes - the intro is very different from the rest of it - possibly a more jazzy "spy" type of intro or at least something along the lines of the rest of the song could fit this well. Good work! Can't wait to hear more of it.

I wasnt kidding when i said the song was being a pain in the ass....so i dunno. And you better find someone else to collab on that...u already know i refuse to have anything to do with that SHITTY SHITTY song...

yep thats all i got...

Well now, as for new WIPs from me...well...i am not ina rush anymore...i want to see what the next deadline is...and i will say ONE thing.. deadlines arent made to be moved, having a person or 2 say they are gonna be late is fine, no need ot move it... MOving it even this one day that you did, will result in it happening again, you can sa it wont happen all you want, and i will call bullshit... buut feel free to prove me wrong, would be rather nice to have thing work how they should.
people being a day late is fine....but why give everyone that extra time, will just make people work less..


sooo now that really is all i got..i gave Richter shit like 10 years ago on the Sonic 2 project about the constantly moving deadlines.... in the end everything worked out alright i think..but that was so long ago its hard to tell :) if this gets completed before summer is over..which is quite a long time for everyone, a lot of people and myself included will be impressed and happy that there will be all these kick ass mixes...that didnt take 10 years to make! heh

04-08-2005, 10:28 AM
OK, time for some more feedback:

Rayza - Azure Lake
The intro is nice, with the nature sounds, but a bit too long. I think it would sound better if one or two other instruments already joined in with the main instrument during the introduction.
I totally freaked out when the piano started playing! I thought I had some website with background music open, but then found out it was inside the song! It sounds pretty messed up, to be honest.
But it gets much better at around 2:13 and the following part is very cool.

DCT - Special Stage
Nice, but way too empty, especially before 0:22. Also, the drums seem too loud compared to the other instruments. But it's a nice idea to make this into a slow relaxing tune, because the original only reminds me of hectic running and turning on spherical levels... :)

yoshi_84, Gman - SnKNikki [v0.5]
Wow, this one has much improved since the last version I heard. But it's so short, it feels like you only got the intro so far. My vote goes to RTF's rendition of the theme, unless you make this much longer and more interesting.

antipode - Menu Molity
Hm... The composition is okay, but I don't like most of the samples/instruments used. Especially the one starting at 0:32, it really has to go. And the main instrument (Marimba? Xylophone?) sounds a bit weak. You should power it up a bit, maybe use a piano instead.

Anyway, good job guys, I'm looking forward to the day this project is completed!

P.S.: KungFuChicken!, only two more days until the deadline... Where's your WIP?

I'm sorry to say, but I just do not like this at all, I really dont think the song can be worked out as an ochestrated piece... It reminds me more of the theme of Bastok in FFXI, than the credits... It's just not as ubeat and happy. It does have a bit of a soothing feel which I liked about the original, but it doesnt fit well. The song's speed really needs to be allot faster than your song. I personally think the song needs to be much more upbeat. The instruments used for the drums and the clapping was a nice choice though. Its okay in its own right... but I dont think it does the original piece justice.

Well orchestral credits are way different than I'd be doing them. Very nicely done so far. I'd suggest getting more pan variation in there, a lot of it sounded centerish to me..

Rayza, your new Azure Lake WIP is really great... its just fantastic. I love the sounds in the background, Ive noticed one, the spin dash, its just plain cool that you put it in there :D. The intro is really great! I love the length of it, and I dont get tired of it. I love the ambience in it and then how it leads into an ubeat happy tune.

The only problem i have with it is the piano comes in at 1:58. Like Dryrer Lint, I thought something had popped up in the background and started playing. Mostly because it was so abrubt and it just sounds akward and too bold from the rest of the song. maybey you could try to lead into it starting with a low volume and increasing it? The rest of the music is too loud when it first starts, and it just sounds bad :? .

After the piano leaves, (a little abrubtly like it came in lol) at 2:13 the song just amazes me again and I love the new tune you put in. At 2:42 however, this part feels very tranquil and I love it. But this came in a little abrubtly, but better than the piano did :lol: . I like the break from the upbeat feel, and the instruments you used fit well with the rest of the song. Make this part longer please? It's really great.

I do think you need to lead into the original at 2:56 "easier". It again.. kind of abruptly comes into the song. In the background underneath the original tune, I hear some kind of ambient noise that I like, maybe you could bring up the volume on that more? I can hear the song starting to slow down at around 3:10 and realize the song is starting to come to an end... :cry: Then it comes back with that upbeat beat again, and I like the bells you put into that, it sounds... pretty, if you're willing to accept that description, lol. I think the song ends on too much of an ubeat tempo, but it is nice.

All in all, I LOVE this song ^^. my only major concern is the introducing of new beats and instruments, ...but mostly that horrific piano. Take the piano out, and you've got yourself a great WIP :wink:. Id be willing to accept it as a final version it sounds so great. I hope you make the song longer, because the song is so great that I want it to keep going, makes me sad when it starts to fade out, lol. Keep up the good work. Now I cant wait anymore to hear the credits from you after hearing this!!

Wow, this one has much improved since the last version I heard. But it's so short, it feels like you only got the intro so far. My vote goes to RTF's rendition of the theme, unless you make this much longer and more interesting.

Yeah, it's short and it is just the intro. :) Therefore, there will be much more to it. I plan to utilize my jazz band knowledge and (hopefully) create some jazzed up, funky stuff. :P

Dear Tertial,

Thanks for all the comments. Glad you like it so far. I know I need to work on the ending more, I was mostly working on the lead for most of the time and it will be a lot smoother in all the transitions eventually.

Also the way you hear it now is not how it will end in the final version, I just haven't completed writing it yet. I'm probably just going to jam for a few bars with that lead and start bringing everything out for the end..

As for the piano part, thats just my sense of humor at work. I love making obviously horrible things and seeing what people will say. Like that way detuned song I posted a year or so ago and people were like "ehh, you should fix this and that.." I'm just waiting for someone to say, what the hell was that garbage? Don't be afraid to say it! Hah..

Anyhow, yes the piano will be gone in the final version. Hopefully I can get started on the credits mix soon, any suggestions for genre to write it in? Obviously something upbeat/dancey.. Again thanks for the comments.

EDIT: Also you mentioned you noticed the sonic spin sound effect, did you notice the "3 2 1 GO" sound effect at 2:52?

I've been working, so here it is... :D

Aquatic Pressure (http://www.vgmix.com/song_manage.php?song_id=3802): Some more EQing work, and diferent synth playing in the end. Enjoy. :)

Sonik Bakley and the Jazz Hedgehogs (http://www.vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=3867): Ok, im sorry. It’s not my fault, I had NOTHING to do over these last days (too sick to go to school). So, I decided to try and mess around with Reason, to see what could come around. In the end I came up with another WIP for the Sonic 3 & Knuckles Remix Project. Boss Theme Act 2.
It’s still VERY primitive, just a 3 minutes : some seconds jam.
In fact, Aquatic Pressure is by far my main contribution for the project, and I still need feedback on that one (ANY feedback is welcome)… Im not substituting it, just adding this one to see what people think of it (and also, to provide a relaxing tune for everybody who is working hard here to relax and laugh a little bit )
I find this one quite interesting, it is an arrangement for a jazz trio (turning into a quartet later), playing the theme in a blues/piano jazz way, which may seem strange due to the choice of source material, but in the end, it fitted…
PS.: The melody only comes in after the one minute mark, so don’t get scared, it’s NOT an original.
PS.: Yeah, there’s a lot of soloing going on…
PS.: I know the piano is quite mechanic in the main melody, but im working on that. Sax is under work as well.
PS.: It will be longer. It's also my first tradional jazz work, so go easy on me! :)
Super PS.: If anyone here who works with Reason wants to collab on this one, please let me know, it would be great. :D

Any feedback is very welcome, in any one of the two songs…
Thanks in advance!

antipode - Menu Molity
Hm... The composition is okay, but I don't like most of the samples/instruments used. Especially the one starting at 0:32, it really has to go. And the main instrument (Marimba? Xylophone?) sounds a bit weak. You should power it up a bit, maybe use a piano instead.

Thanks. Several of these samples I got from the links in the section here at OCR, but none have been extremely helpful. In a few more days I might have a new edit of the song with the beginning noise altered a bit, the bassline instrument fixed, and the main levels fixed. Plus with a little more added on, probably. Oh and just a random note, it's actually "Motility", but I figure that doesn't matter much because probably not too many people know what that means anyway. :wink: I'm looking forward to hearing the next versions of everyone's work, and by the way Lint, thanks for the comments.

Deadline is actually tommorow, and from what I take it, KFC is going to give us much time to work on our WIP's before weeding them out. Kind of pointless to vote anyways right now. There is only a few entries that have two or more people working on the same song. Besides, I need a chance to get rid of my crappy violins and replace them with either a real violin track or better samples.

04-09-2005, 07:39 PM
Just in time for the deadline, I've managed to finish off the composition for my own contribution -

OMG PLZ RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT "SAVE TARGET AS" FO SHIZZLE (http://www.angelfire.com/music6/moulinrex/divided-grace3.mp3)

Quickly mentioning what I intended again - the first half reflects upon the scenery of the first act, as peaceful as ever and with blue skies flapping around it. This half then ended with a climatic proportion as signalled by the zone's mid boss - you know, that machine that ends up putting the whole island in flames.
The second half then shows a good amount of grief over the island's fate. No longer is it full of peace - it will take a long time just to recover from its own tormented state. Angrily, the player (controlling Sonic, Tails or Knuckles) makes their dash through the second act, gradually regaining their feelings while going around the many pitfalls that eventually lead to the zone boss as well as the Hydrocity Zone upon kicking the crap outta Eggman.

I managed to take in the account of lowering the drum volume ever so slightly and adding some reverb onto the muted trumpet. And I also thought carefully about how to reflect on anger at the end of the first half and the return of the core instrumentation within the second half; things that came to mind here were angry distortion (which have been applied upon some synth VSTs floating around the college campus), a steadier drum beat and a lot of timpani action.

Well, that's about it from me (for now); hope this is an improvement over the previous version :P

First off, you’re doin’ jazz so you really need some style here. Not meaning to sound harsh, but if you got no style (not you personally) you don’t have much. Jazz is something you gotta feel (and KungFuChicken!, for one, said he wasn’t feeling this track). Here are some tips for giving your song some style.

- For groupings of eighth notes, accent notes on the upbeat. Meaning notes on the upbeat have a higher velocity than notes on the downbeat. Therefore, “ghost” the notes on the downbeat. “Ghost” means to play really soft, but with the same intensity.
- A lot of jazz has pairs of eighth notes being played as a quarter + eighth triplet. If you’re kinda lost on that, the quarter + eighth triplet adds up to one beat and the eighth note is accented. Most likely (if not always) the eighth note is played short and tight, like a bite.
- The bass usually changes notes every quarter note for movement of the song.
- Possibly some small tom fills before the end of a section/phrase will add interest. I notice some, but they are so slight. I’m not saying have the drums shine (since this is just a smooth improv-ishy setting), but just let them have a little more fun.

I hope these tips will help you out on improving this piece. It has a lot of potential and it’s mostly just style-challenged. On a side note, though, some people have a harder time with style than reading the actual music so I’m sorry if I made improving the style sound easy as it may not be for you. Oh, I can e-mail you a page of alto sax sheet music for learning purposes if you’d like. I’d like to collab with you on this, but I’m so busy with college, work and remixing Hydrocity. However, since you said you said you aren’t submitting this for the project, I can probably help you out if you want to work on it in the summer. Good luck! :D

By the way, I’m somewhat worried how our version of Hydrocity will go so can you tell me when the next deadline is going to be, KungFuChicken!? Sorry for being impatient.

I don't know if I will do all these things you mentioned, I quite like the feel of it, sounds a bit like a jam, but im going to try.

Things that surely will be on the next version:
1 - re-interpreted main melody, it was very mechanic and wrote it again in a jazzier way.

2 - different drums

3 - wrote some more parts (a bit Yellowjackets like)...

Man, I think I expressed myself wrongly back there. This is a WIP for the project... Unless I can not have two, which doesn't seem to be the case, so yeah, this is a WIP for the project as well as my Hydrocity... Sorry if I said it wrong! :oops:

First of all, you are right, the recording is really bad, also I think your playing is a little bit static on the beguining (im no pianist, so I can't say for sure, im just telling how I feel :wink: ), the arregement pleases me a lot, but there's repetition in the middle... Nice WIP so far, but there are things to be fixed, I think.

Thank you for the comments. Actually, I tried to sound a little melancholic at the beginning. But the repetition in the middle is just that lack of creativity a talked about and on which I'm working now. But I thought, what's the problem? It's just a WIP it's not the final song. And I had to meet the deadline.

Well, for one, a couple of the songs are a bit different.
Also, if this were just a Sonic and Knuckles project, then some songs from Sonic 3 would not be included. Same thing if it was just Sonic 3, except it would miss out on the songs on Sonic & Knuckles.

Basically, the difference is there's more levels in Sonic 3 & Knuckles than in just plain ol' Sonic & Knuckles.

Rexy
04-10-2005, 09:26 AM
The only difference is that the Sonic 3 credits theme is never applied in Sonic 3 & Knuckles; similar thing to Sonic 3's act 1 boss theme. Hope that expands on that theory ;)

Azure Lake - Rayza

WOO! Rayza, the song is AWESOME! :D And with that piano out of the song I finally have a song to put on my PSP. I like that new part you put in at 2:00, well I guess its new, maybe it was under that piano in your previous WIP :wink: . this is definetly my favorite song on the project so far... but Kanjika's Sky Sanctuary WIP is getting quite a bit of my attention too. BTW, that 3,2,1 GO! sound effect at 2:54 is really cool, but its kind of hard to notice untill you start to listen for it, I wouldnt have heard that spin dash if I hadnt sat there as a kid and wasted half of my childhood playing sonic XD. Maybey you could incoporate some more of those sounds into your song, then again if you put too many in there, it could get annoying. Keep up the great work!


Sonik Bakley and the Jazz Hedgehogs - Red Tailed Fox

I didnt really like this jazz tune... I just dont think it gets the "serious" emotion that the player would feel when trying to beat the crap out of Robotnik. The original tune is easy to hear, but some of the other instruments take my attention away from it. In some parts of the song, the piano that plays the original melody are just a tad too weak. Sorry to say, I just dont like it =/.

Aquatic Pressure (Feel the music!!!) - Red Tailed Fox

I love this!! :D I love everything about this WIP except the intro. All of the other things about the song are great! The different parts in the song are pretty different, but still keep in the same feeling. I never really liked Hydrocity Zone as much as the other zones' tunes, but you've made an excellent song out of it. I think the ending needs more work to slow down to a close, because it feels like it ends just a little too soon, but otherwise, this song is awesome!

But a WIP nonetheless.

It means I'm thinking about this project still. Yay.

I don't like the organ part. Tell me to get rid of it, and I will. I'm having problems with this song, and I'm not sure why, I just don't like how it's coming together.

Advise me, people!

Edit: One of the reasons I'm having trouble on this song is I can't seem to evade the clipping with it.

Second reason: The source material is lackluster at best, so I'm completely "re-imagining" it. It's not easy.

This whole song sounds very right heavy.. Is everything panned to the right by accident? Other wise it sounds really good.. The beatwork is well done and the sounds come together pretty good.. Maybe a little more EQ work for the final but I like it so far..

THEN we can start the second wip stage (in the project section) by working on the approved tracks that would make the final version. however, as prot said in that section, if the project isn't interesting it must be moved to GenDisc again. I think S3&K is amazing and I really want to see it as a project, but waiting a bit more is surely a good thing.

If voting on mixes happens before ALL THE SONGS ARE COMPLETE.... this will be just a waste of mine, and other peoples time.

I am sure voting and all that other fun shit will happen after the songs are complete..well the ones that there are more than one mixer for anyways.
Voting on shit before the mixer even gets a chance to finish....that would be just pure bullshit.

The voting will be after everything is done

hmmmm....very interesting. That's the feel from the song I expected, when I thought of this song.
I really like it :wink: the thing is: sometimes the main synth (guess it's a sax) sounds off key a little. Like the pitch went up. I know you probably intended it to be this way, but it sounds a little off when I hear it...kinda makes you think the guy played a wrong note or something. But if that's how it's supposed to be I have no problem with it. :D
it's great nonetheless.

To Darkesword: your mix is very smooth. I love teh synth that you used. Makes the feeling of the song perfect to that of the original and then some :D

yeah...i'm trying to fix that...i believe it's a delay issue...still not sure. i have'nt really put a whole lot of time into this one, but since i'm almost finished with my other mix i'll be able to work this one out. thnx for the comments!

I love it. I can't tell if you tweaked the lead synth, or it's just been longer since I listened to the one that grated, but it's not bugging me anymore, which makes this pretty much perfect so far.

Glad you're liking it more.. Yeh I worked through like 7 or 8 lead synths before settling on this one. I was getting frustrated after a while, heh.. Might make a good name though since this is a race tune. "Battle For The Lead" (synth).. :)

Not sure if anyone mentioned this before but its distorting due to high levels. Get your levels down and watch the volume meters, they'll tell you if you're distorting (clipping) or if you're ok. I kinda cringed when I heard that stock plucked sample, been done to death really. Even I used that thing way back in the day. :)

Around 2:54 its just getting way to heavy and muddy. Are you eqing your instruments? I think its mostly the problem that I mentioned above, overall level is too high. Keep that under control and this will sound a lot cleaner right off the bat.

I also think its too long for the nature of this song. Personally I think if you cut a minute off this thing it would be for the best. Theres just not enough variation going on to keep it interesting for 5 minutes..

I like the energy and style that you're going for but theres a few problems that need to be fixed before proceeding. #1 being the distorting.. Ch-ch-checkitout!

No.
Lave Reef and Hidden palace have the same start. The second section of the song is what makes them different.
This was a demo of less than two minutes, and one entire minute is dedicated to build up the intro with ambience. So that's only the beginning. The part that comes after it will portrait hidden palace song.

I agree with you as well. Anyway, I was looking for a Hidden Palace midi to link to in order to clear up confusion, but all of the ones on Vgmusic appear to be mixes between Lava Reef and Hidden Palalce. :-(

Here is a proper midi of Hidden Palace zone that I found on TSC. I hope I don't piss off JD Harding by hotlinking to his site. :-\

Yes, I must say I was in a mistake.

See, I haven't played a lot of S&K so I dunno the source tunes very well. And since all the midis I've heard start with lavareef I though that was the way it went, so I started with the lava reef part.
Anyways, I'm not thinking about changin my mix, I was going to portrait the hidden palace melody after the end of this demo so I'll leave the lava reef part there as some sort of cameo, and I'll change it up a bit too, to then focus on the hidden palace song.
It will still be a Hidden palace remix though. The melodies are very alike, after all.

I must admit I didn't like the original version of this tune but I like this new style, it's happy. However, you should work harder on the EQ. sometimes it seems that volumes aren't very right. (sorry but I don't know how to explain this feeling in English). by the way, don't be so sorry, this is a WIP, so there is a bunch of improvements you can do.

And if you notice in hidden palace, it stars off with Lava Reef(lightyly though). Game set match. Although..... I think Sir Nuts used a little too much of the melody (cause it would sound to anyone else like a LAVA REEF remix.) It is indeed awesome though.

As for the album being finished... W....T....F...

Album title posts clutter up the thread and do make it kind of hard to find the imporant posts. There is also no point to calling Sadorf a cry baby. He isn't being one. He's just trying to get the point across in a very agressive way. He's one of the few here that's brave enough to do it.

http://www.vgmix.com/song_view.php?song_id=3874

Hope this goes down well:)

EDIT: After 1:30, it needs a lot of work... the synth at 1:57 will be replaced - it's just there for the moment.
Next version should be almost the whole song (not complete, but the bones'll be there.).

Whoa whoa whoa! Remember that you are not mixing for sithlordaku (or whatever he's called these days), but for the legions of people who are interested in this project. While I agree that the title should not be discussed as of now, I think you should cut sithlord some slack. He has made some mistakes, but notice how he attempts to correct them before things get too out of hand.

In summary, just go easy on the guy...
