Kirby Superstar 'Floating Islands of Grand Beach Manitoba'

Wow. That's all I can after listening to this mix. This is the song for grooving. The parts that really stand out for me are when the ReMix gets all atmospheric as heard at 0:46 and 2:27. On the other hand, I really don't like the piano at 1:32. Though, I do like the transition into the piano :) The total break in the music at 1:53 does something for me deep inside, but I don't know what. Kind of reminds me of parties where the music stops and everyone gets quiet. Regardless, everything else makes up for it. I really love how this arranged - Not to mention that it's Kirby Superstar! Such a happy exotic tropical dance ReMix. Like I said before, it does make you want to groove. :)

Yes. I liked this remix. A nice, original theme, very well composed. Everything fits together perfectly. The break(s) were put in at the best spots. Very nice :D

Nice arrangement. Terrible recording.

EVERYTHING is clipping. D, listen to the crunch in the mix - that's not normal. It's clipping. The audio has gone over 0.0 and is causing distortion of the sound.

Bring the levels of recording down. The guitar is too loud. Get a nice, clean sound (listen to some jazz albums - Wes Montgomery, for sure) to hear a great jazz guitar sound. The drum loops is just too loud.

What are you using to piece all of this together? There should be meters in any decent program that shows you how loud the outcoming audio is for each track. Should go green - (maybe yellow) - red - PEAK. It's good to get your levels in the red - makes for a good recording, but if you peak - it's useless - the audio has distorted. Bring it down.

Then there's the master levels - make sure that you are mixing your audio properly. You'll have to pull down ALL of your tracks and adjust the volume to make sure that the master output doesn't go above 0.0 - otherwise you have what you hear in this track at 0:15 - distortion.

Nice arrangement - get a better recording of it. You'll have to record that guitar again, too :(

Keep at it.

I agree with Mustin in the sense that the drum loop is too loud. It's really in-my-face, and I don' t like it. I like the arrangement though, it's nicely done, I just can't stand that cliche techno drum loop that's banging all over my nuts.

Nice job though!

Well, i don't know what all the fuss is. I guess i'm just a too casual listener to catch the bad recording quality and such. I really like the remix a lot. I was surprised by this guy because i never heard of his recordings.

but now, i think i can sense the bad recording quality ... i hate you guys, it WAS perfect for me, oh well, it doesn't bother me much n-e ways. hee hee

well thanks "Double A Ron" for this great mix!

Arggh! What's with the mixes of tunes from the first gameboy Kirby game ending up under Kirby's Superstar?? Yes, the music was present in Kirby's Superstar, but the exact same tune was in the original Kirby.

I didn't hear anything off until Mustin said something. That being said, the clipping in the guitar is pretty bad. But my first mix was MUCH MUCH worse than this with clipping, so I'm a little lenient when it comes to those types of issues. The drumloop is too loud, and it's pretty much a generic techno one, which annoys me. Still, this is a well arranged remix. There are parts where the original melody seems to not be present, but maybe I'm imagining things. Good techno, good Kirby coverage. Work on the technical issues Mustin mentioned, Double A Ron, and you'll be just fine.

Thanks for the reviews. I don't know what went wrong, but I have done alot of equalizing, keyboarding, analog recording using cassettes, and mixing for this song. My meters in Magix Music Maker v7 never made it past yellow when I tested it. Maybe it was just the last step of amplification after I manually recorded it with Audicity. I should have input a lower peak aplitude in the options menu.

Go easy on the reviews. To me, ACT is my ultimate master piece.

Again thanks for the reviews,

Its fruity, up-beat, and hot damn is it smooth! Good work man.

Man, this is an awsome mix! As a fan of house music, I personally think the slight clipping adds to this mix... Kinda makes it sound like a sample of an old record, which is a good thing. Either way, I really love this song. I might be biased because I really like house, and I like upbeat game music, but hell, you did an excellent job. Nice break, love the beat (especially the house bongos/congas)... And don't worry about any negative comments (Mustin the Jerkaholic likes to focus on the negative to tout his apparently superior skills... don't worry about him), this is an extremely solid mix, one of the best on here in a while. As you said, "ultimate master piece"!!

[Woffester]

Why didn't I say anything when this thing first came up? This is, as Mustin said, a very good arrangement, and I'll leave it at that! The guitar has a...fakeness.. to it, but I like it! I would like an alternate version with a better guitar, just so I could decide which I liked better....


Or listen to both!

Keep it up!
