Zelda 3 - Woods/Fairy Fountain Trance - OMG UPDATE VERSION 2

[Benjamin Briggs]

I make remix

you listen remix version 2 (or 3 I don't really know at this point) (http://revolutionaryrent.com/farore%20v3.mp3)

post your think

[Dahlia]

my think is you listen maybe too much borat

a remix is fine too

is good for listened

[Chickenwarlord]

Nostalgia - check
Effects Usage - check
Beat - check
Arrangement - check
Flow - check

Improve the sample quality. Some of them are just annoying after awhile.
Although the current ending could definitely stand, I wouldn't mind something a little more satisfying.

I look forward to hearing updated versions of this.

[Coffeeholic]

88/100

[Snooper_1989]

If I were a judge I would definitely say Yes. This remix is absolute kick ass - a few mastering hicks here and there but nothing you can't sort out quick sharp. Also maybe, an ending, :lol: .

[Benjamin Briggs]

remix no finish!

you no listen?

[Radiowar]

this is cool. i don't know if you've already thought of this or plan on doing it, but i think the part around 1:26 should be repeated later on except without dropping the bass. also i don't really like the hi-hat you used but that's just me.

[Turnip]

Meh is it just me or does that thing at 2:05 go on for way to long with no changes? And of course ending could use some pazzam. Great song though.

[Benjamin Briggs]

ok, I think I'll put it in plain english now

this isn't finished

this isn't finished

the ending that you hear is not the real ending

in fact, this mix will end up being approximately 5 minutes

it's not finished

one might even refer to it as a work in progress

if one were feeling bold

[Red Shadow]

me like

[Arek the Absolute]

Really really sick. Please finish soon :D

[-RK-]

Well, the intro is badass as hell, great use of the "chopped" sounding noise and the original audio clip, and a fantastic transition into the sub bass.

You've just got a great groove and vibe going with this. Cant wait to listen to this for 5 minutes. :lol:

[Benjamin Briggs]

Improve the sample quality. Some of them are just annoying after awhile.
which ones, specifically

[jmr]

whoever put all those fake swords in the woods was a total asshole
Indeed.

I have no suggestions to offer, as it's just that awesome. Looking forward to hearing the finished remix.

[pu_freak]

Wow this is sounding great. I do hope that some more variation comes in the next few minutes because you're on the edge of being repetitive in my opinion.



Oh... and an ending of course :wink:

[Benjamin Briggs]

hey all, I've got the mix structurally finished... it's about 4:40

I ended up scrapping the theme that plays during the exposition (the last theme you hear on the current version) and replacing it with the fairy's fountain theme, which turned out phenomenal in my opinion

anyway, look for the new version tomorrow; I just need to get a chance to upload it

[SirRus]

this is quite tastefully done. love how you incorporate sound fx, esp. the heart meter clip. great work d00d

[Cerrax]

Whoa. This is fucking sweet. I want to see this one on the front page so get at it son!!

[retard18426]

My think is remix have potential.

Selection for song be good.

Arrangement cool, quality for sound not what think perfect though.

Good luck ;)

[Benjamin Briggs]

[Arek the Absolute]

Nooooooooooooooooo
ps im me when you can plzkthx

[Red Shadow]

hey i'll host it on revolutionaryrent if you want

[Scott Scheule]

Meh is it just me or does that thing at 2:05 go on for way to long with no changes? And of course ending could use some pazzam. Great song though.

A bit. But by and large, fantastic.

[Arek the Absolute]

You know what, just pm me/aim me the song. The anticipation for such an awesome track is just something I cannot tolerate for too much longer.

finally, version 2 is finished and uploaded!

alright, this version has an ending, but I'm not really happy with it

any comments are welcome and appreciated, and HELP ME THINK OF A COOL TITLE

kbye

[Red Shadow]

offer is still there to host it for you

[Benjamin Briggs]

does the download link not work for you or are you just saying that I can still ask you to host it for me

if it's the first thing, goddamn it

if it's the second thing, I appreciate it but I won't probably ask you to do it until I have access to aim again :)

[wii-ler]

V2 is awesome dude.

[Kholdstare]

Title suggestions:
Clearing of Mist.
Effervescence.
Misdirection.
Renewal.
Undergrowth.

Meh. If you like them, cool. If not, whatev.

[Benjamin Briggs]

V2 is awesome dude.
glad to have you back in my virtual life

also, all of those title ideas are pretty damn cool and suprisingly insightful as far as the flow and direction of the piece, as well as the connection to the parts of the game it encompasses

are you going to be a writer by chance :)

anyway, I'll take all those into consideration and maybe formulate my own combination of them or something

[Red Shadow]

it was the second one

so maybe when you go to submit it at least let me know, and i'll download it from whatever place you host it and put it on revolutionaryrent so you have a link that wont die

and obviously i like the mix a whole shitton otherwise i wouldnt offer this :P

Thanks!
And yes, I do write somethings. Poetry and some short stories and stuff. Good guess!

Glad you liked them and feel free to mess around with them as far as combinationness. ^_^

[Red Shadow]

also for some reason I can see a simple title like "Mischief" working pretty well

I do a lot of singer/songwriting on the side, so if you ever want help or critique on lyrics or poetry, feel free to pm or e-mail me

[shpladoink]

I much prefer remixes that make use of original sound effects over those that do not. For the most part.

I like this, Mister Coat.

[Monobrow]

I like
how you
incorporated the
fairy theme
back into
theme of woods
neat
~fin

[watkinzez]

Yah, if you're going to do an ending like that, it needs more of a segue, longer fade crossover. Everything else is cool though.
As for a title, needs something like 'Trippin Tree Roots', except less bad.

[Kholdstare]

Will do.

Thanks!

[Benjamin Briggs]

I'm thinking of making the official title "techno robot trees olol"

not really, but it would be thoroughly awesome to see that title on the front page of ocr

[Villainelle]

This is ace. Just a couple suggestions to tighten it up that last little notch...

The hi-hat someone mentioned, comes in at about 1:05 and plays occasionally throughout the song (again at 1:27, 1:54, and so on). It's way too loud and dry and doesn't sit in the mix well. Would be fine if it was a little wetter and had some velocity dynamics.

The drums throughout, and the song overall is also on the dry side. Don't know if this is stylistically intentional, is it? I would suggest just a little more reverb and some warming effects applied throughout the whole piece, just to make it smoother and more addictive to listen to than it already is, which is the point of trance after all. :P

The ending is dicey. It just doesn't seem to gel with the rest of the song. You could always do the cliché crescendo-to-fadeout trance ending, or something closer to the intro, winding down parts/instruments until it just ends with the beating heart. Whatever, you'll come up with something.

Aside from that, this is 100% pure distilled kickass. This will definitely get a lot of play for me. Kudos in advance for what will undoubtedly be on the front page soon, bud.

"techno robot trees olol" gets my vote too. If not that, then "Effervescence" or some variation seems most fitting.

[Benjamin Briggs]

yeah, I'm not happy with the ending either

I'm currently trying to fix it with weapons-grade awesome

I'll listen for the reverb issues you brought up... I didn't expect anyone to have a comment about that, but now that I think of it, I didn't pay very close attention to the effects levels

[Arek the Absolute]

fairy fountain part was siiiiiiiiiiiiiick
i love you with mouth
ps might be doing something as tribute to kondo (NOT A PROJECT OOOOMG PS IF YOU* STEAL IDEA ABOUT CREATING PROJECT THAT IS SO FUCKING LAME AND YOU DESERVE TITLE AS ETERNAL ASSHOLE) and i wanna talk to you about it so get on aim when you can

*does not apply to cth

oh and dude the ending fits just fine. i am actually really happy with it
ps please make the fairy fountain section a bit longer imagine this song as a sexy lady the main part focuses on the body *and what a body* and then the fairy fountain part is like focusing on the face *man thats a hot face* but then it goes back to the body too quickly not giving focus on the face that it deserves

[Arek the Absolute]

Bumpage. Must hear final version D:

[Red Shadow]

Whar Bez Chth

[Gollgagh]

He needs tah get his ass back in here.

[DistantJ]

Somebody knows his trance. I mean it's very simple and it wouldn't get into OC remix, but this guy definitely knows his house music, the bass and arpeggios are all just right, doesn't seem to have the cheese of a lot of trance VGmixes.

[Blackwinged Saron]

liking now...might love later

[Benjamin Briggs]

I mean it's very simple and it wouldn't get into OC remix
I have five dollars here in my pocket that says otherwise

okay I'm broke

but if I had five dollars, it would say otherwise

anyway, I'm still toying with ending ideas, and I've recently started a chiptune/house/trance/barf version of terra's theme that I'm starting to like, so just be patient and listen to v2 until I figure out if that's the final version

[Arek the Absolute]

make fairy fountain part longer pleeeaaaassssseee
it was so sex
seriously
not sexy
pure sex

[Arek the Absolute]

Bump.
-----

[The Instrumental Light]

pretty awesome, i can see how it isnt finished though, for whats been done, pretty cool. great mix, great job!:wink: -The Lone Ranger

[cortjezter]

would love to hear v2... link says file is no longer available :-\

maybe i'm just sucker for zelda remixes, or for creative uses of elements (the life-danger sound as a rhythmic element in this case), but v1 is wild. thumbs up!

[TheThoughtfulOne]

I'm lovin V1, but I'm havin no luck getting v2. Any chance there is a better spot you can host? of if you already submitted, let me know, cause it's a definite DL for me!

[Arek the Absolute]

Get Your Ass Back Online So You Can Finish This Song Already

[MAN3]

the link is dead :(

[The Derrit]

I am required to agree with arek; the inclusion of "y" on the end of the word sex would take away from just how sex this mix is. i want more, can't get enough. that's not sexy, that's sex.

[Benjamin Briggs]

hm... the link is dead, you say?

well, I unfortunately haven't done any substantial work on this remix in quite some time (mostly due to my adventures in being a singer/songwriter ("http://www.myspace.com/simplyescapism)), but I do have the second version here on my HD

so let me find a place to upload it real quick and I'll fix the link

edit: http://download.yousendit.com/8EB49D767E8A4E4F

that should work for 7 days

[Dhsu]

I liek.

But the ending is kinda weird (and kind of inaudible). Would make more sense just to end with one last "deedle-dee." With tons of reverb on the last note of course. :D

[Red Shadow]

this should last a little longer than 7 days


http://revolutionaryrent.com/farore%20v3.mp3

[Benjamin Briggs]

hey thanks buddy :)

[TheThoughtfulOne]

You caught me in a GREAT time cause I just beat the game again.

I'm really diggin the mix, but I gotta agree with Dhsu on the ending. It's to inaudible... I think it needs just a little extra umpf on it... or perhaps a nice reflection from the mix but in that ending style you got goin... either or, it's slightly lacking there at the end.

Other than that like I said, I'm totally diggin it. Keep up the good work man.

[Red Shadow]

that mix youve got nny hosting is also very nice, i must say

[Benjamin Briggs]

oh yeah

all you people who tell me to submit linear groove 100 times a day

I submitted linear groove so shut up

[ShadowBlade999]

I am a big fan of your work(It's My Turn to Dream is one of my fave remixes) and this one is awessmoe. BUT PLZ, Make the the fairy fountain section longer or if possible, make a fairy fountain remix with that sound. JUST POST THE REMIX ALREADY!!!!

[Blackwinged Saron]

its still good. and i still like it. a little repetetive, if i were a judge id say no, only because it doesn't stand out. it needs a kick to make it more original (not that it sounds unoriginal, but we have a lot of zelda mixes. the need for something different is high)

[DJ-Arthur]

This is some awesome work done! It's just that ending... I't really low in volume, and a lot of hiss is the result. But that asside, This is deffinitly a Masterpiece in-the-making!

BTW, I just recently joined, but listened a lot longer... I do remix myself, but I'm not NEARLY as good as this... Well, anyways, I'll say it once more: This is Awesome!

[Miku]

I foresee some of the judges giving it a no because "the heart meter sfx isn't in tune with the song.' Something similar to that was one of their main problems with my Majora's Mask remix (the clock tower bell).

This is a great remix. Most of the arrangement isn't by any means unique, but the sounds, while simple and minimal, really work well for the source music as far as I'm concerned. The melodic variation in the second iteration on the high flute thingy is a nice touch. And the section where it goes into the fairy fountain, like others have said, is pure sex.

[Psythik]

I'm dying to hear this song that everyone's raving about but every single link to it in this thread is dead!

chthonic, PM me and I'll host the song for you permanently!

[Dhsu]

I foresee some of the judges giving it a no because "the heart meter sfx isn't in tune with the song.' Something similar to that was one of their main problems with my Majora's Mask remix (the clock tower bell).
I remember that, and I remember being heartbroken that it didn't pass (yes, I liked it that much). Listening to it again, I still think it should be on the site (after a couple production fixes), but oh well.

Anyway, chth, if you're not gonna work on this anymore, then submit it already.

[Karth]

Like Dhsu said, please submit soon! Or at least put up another hosting link so I can hear this near-unanimously well-voted piece of auditory artwork.

[Miku]

I bumped an old thread. Yes. I know. Sue me.

I've been not coming around here much for a while. Can anyone tell me what ever happened with this remix and why the hell it says chthonic is banned?

[Txai]

why the hell it says chthonic is banned?

There is some explanation on the following thread:

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15283

Moreover I really want to listen this mix too, but the link is broken.

I miss him around because he is a good friend.
