Wow, IronMix is getting more and more productive with each round. My hat goes off to Analoq for this great remix, TimberWolf for organizing these contests, and all the judges and mixers who participate in them. Keep 'em coming, guys! =D

Ahh. Nice groove. Catchy, melancholy, very interesting sounds. Great guitar. Really cool synth. As DJP said, not diggin the ending. There's not even a build beforehand to prep you at all. Just sounds like analoq got that far with his loops and then got lazy. Other than that, this is super nifty work. Nice.

Just thought you might like to know my mom walked in and asked if something was wrong because I had been playing this song constantly for nearly an hour. :D

analoq's position on the Scale-O-Awesomeness is officially through the roof. Aquacadence was excellent, Sonik Azure kicked my ass, and this just proves that analoq is no two-trick pony. Excellent work, sir.

This is simply outstanding. Unbelievably well produced and the instruments used for the main melody are beautiful. Analoq, I’m very impressed with your work and am seriously looking forward to your future remixes.

Thanks for posting this, djp! Also thank you all for your kind comment and constructive criticisms. Now for The Making Of Thin Glow ... First, this was my entry for IMC8 and it won by 1 point. Please check out Classic Smack's and Maniac's entries here.

Guitar - Guitar tracks are me playing my strat through the Amplitube VST plug-in. The riffs go through an automated highpass filter at times. For the lead guitar I automated the auto-wah unit over time and gave it a deep chorusing effect.

Bass - It's a similiar patch to the bass I made in Sonik Azure but this time I overdrove the analogue input. Distortion = Fun.

Drums - I purchased these samples from my local Guitar Center and sequenced a 4 bar rhythm to hold the track together. Ran it through a 4.4:1 compressor for punch and did some eq to give the snare some snap.

Marimba - A marimba patch off my JV1010 but run through a deep chorus and stereo echo... this makes it sound more like a bell and less a marimba.

Warbly Lead - Two detuned sine waves with lots of portamento, with analogue overdrive. It sounded too unusual to use by itself, so I paired it with the marimba during the chorus.

Pad - Interesting string pad off my Waldorf MicroQ. I didn't make it, it's a preset I downloaded. Interesting: The first time the melody in the middle-section appears, the pad is delayed behind the marimba. The second time, it attacks before the marimba.

303ish - A patch I made on my Virus C automating a filter envelope, going through the analogue overdrive of my Sherman Filterbank. Much delay.

Ending - This seems to be the dominant criticism so I will address it: It is abrubt. In retrospect, too abrupt, it hadn't bothered me enough to change it so I left it the way it was. In the future I will try to give more attention to abrupt endings. But hey, going through your playlist with crossfading... you'll never notice! :D

Take it easy, everyone!

Whoa. NICE REMIX! But seriously, this is really good... I remember having a lot of fun with this game back in the pre-N64 days, but this tune doesn't really ring a bell... Either way, great remix. Something you can really groove along to.

I have been downloading remixes from OCRemix for looong time. There have been some really good ones (and I am picky about what's good and what's not.) However, this mix was SO good, I was compelled to post about it. I couldn't get enough of the melody/chorus. All the instruments were perfect for the job, and excellent quality. Regarding the ending, heck, I'll just add a fade to it, or loop it forever!

A lot of you guys at OCR do top-notch work. Thanks to you all for the listening pleasure.
