  1. Today
  2. Spelunky - Deathmatch Remix | Astroverse Dimensions
  3. Thanks man, glad you liked it. It naturally had a sort of jazzy feel to it, so it was tricky but fun to try to turn it into a rock song while keeping the essence of those notes there
  4. I have to say..... What an awesome mashup, AND, the violent but....deep space(?) feel, is being dug by me. There was some really fabulous transitions in this piece, and I love the way the crescendos on the synths swapped to angry guitar. Bravo. 😎🤙

    This doesn't really fit this 8Track, but here's another remix featuring another violinist that could beat the devil in a fiddle contest:
  6. Love this remix, I never played pictionary, but I do remember some of those "game show" style NES games, and I mostly hated them! This title screen song, however, is a different story. It's just a vibe, I can't help but be propelled to a jazzy, funky elevator in the 80s, it's where the real party is. Or something. I was only 3 years old when the 80s ended, but I imagine an elevator party with all kinds of crazy stuff going on would be COOL. Alright I need to stop leaving my 2 cents when I'm zombie mode tired. Great remix!
  7. What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.
  8. As I continue my "newest to oldest" personal challenge of listening to every remix, this one has perhaps looped more times than any other track....Like, is Bubsy allowed to go this hard?? Remix of the year perhaps? Lol. 🌠
  9. I'm normally not a huge fan of lyrics in game remixes (especially when they are instrumental). Just a thing with me. Anyway, man, the rapping is so good and perfect for this remix, mad respect! Love this homage to TJ&E! 😎🤙
  10. Yesterday
  11. Along with a gif of someone doing a diagonal head bob.
  12. This is not an exhaustive list, just what I tend to use a lot of. DAW: Reaper (I'm a Reaper lifer, for whatever flaws it has the sheer customization ability makes it my forever DAW) Instruments Spectrasonics: Omnisphere, Trillian, Keyscape (I use these a ton, every project, 100% guaranteed) Native Instruments: Kontakt (I have more Kontakt libraries than I can count, for better or worse it's the industry standard) Best Service: Engine2 (worse than Kontakt but the Eduardo Tarilonte libraries are amazing) For drums, a combination of Stylus RMX, Battery 4 and Geist 2, Slate for rock/metal. Other than Omnisphere, some of my frequently-used synths: Sylenth1, z3ta+ 2, VB3 for organs Sample devs I really like: Heavyocity, Impact Soundworks, Eduardo Tarilonte, Orange Tree Samples, Soniccouture Effects MeldaProduction: MFreeFXBundle (fantastic value for money, I mostly use the EQ and compressor), MUltraMaximizer, MAutoDynamicEQ, MTurboReverbLE VallhallaDSP: Room, VintageVerb, Shimmer Cableguys: Snapback (amazing drum layering time-saver), ShaperBox3 Rob Papen: RP-Distort2 (crazy good distortion) Camel Audio: Camel Phat, CamelSpace (RIP) Native Instruments: Guitar Rig 5 Audio Damage: Vapor, Fluid, Liquid Monitoring: Slate VSX (this is very pricey but it's been hugely helpful with having only a terrible room to mix in, it's pretty much cut out the 5-10 car check revisions that were the norm for me) Have I forgotten a bunch of things here? Yes, yes I have.
  13. Crossposting from Discord but this is basically us nowadays.
  14. https://on.soundcloud.com/IzcLkA9TueMNP3IPNN By far my favorite Hollow Knight/Silksong theme of all time. I had an idea…Karmelita’s theme but in more of organ/oprea style and…boom here we are. This song was difficult to pin down due to the key not being one I heard a lot outside of music theory class 😂. I will probably come back and tweak some things in the future but I think it’s close enough to publish. Let me know what you think and I am always open to suggestions or constructive criticism as this is first attempt at doing this style of music. the original for review purposes.

    Wicked Strings

    These remixes feature some wicked string performances, either arranged for a wicked orchestra, or featuring a soloist that could absolutely beat the devil in a fiddle contest (or a cello contest, as the case may be).
  16. Hey, I know I'm 3 years late to all this, but can you post a different link for me? It doesn't open, and I'd like to try out all that you have, especially the Koudelka one. I'd appreciate it greatly!

  18. @TreytNormally I use FL Studio however my main computer crashed so I am currently using BandLab till I get my main computer fixed lol
  19. Sorry Lucas, I'm throwing in with my fellow Js here. I'm not bothered nearly as much by the intentional dissonance, but this needs another mastering pass for sure due to the audible clipping from 1:42 onward. Besides being dry, the ride sample at 1:13 sounds too clean, too hi-fi compared to the other parts of the drumkit on top of being mixed too far forward. I know you and jnWake can turn this one right around 'cause it's really close! NO (resubmit)
  20. Last week
  21. First one is "Bowser is Pissed" by PriZm https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01328 The second is "The Mother Is in Control" by Revolver Project https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01420 Both from OCR, both from 2005!
  22. Hey, I have some old VG music remixes on my computer that I'm like 99% sure came from this site. I've tracked down most of them, but there's two I'm stuck on 'cause the filenames I picked weren't very specific. First one is a remix of a Bowser theme, I think SMW's. This one was used in a fangame from September 2007, so the song would have to have existed no later than then. The other is a file I saved as "MetroidMusic" so it must be a Metroid song. Has anyone here heard either/know where they came from? BowserRemix.mp3 MetroidMusic.mp3
  23. I'm going to throw out the other option that I went with: Windows 10 LTSC IoT. You have to deal with purchasing a grey market key, as this is not technically meant for home users. Then you have to find a full ISO as the trial ISO from MS can't be upgraded to the full version without a lot of headache. Finding it is not hard but that may or may not be a deal breaker for you. But it's Win10 (with some of the unnecessary fluff stripped out) that will keep receiving updates until 2032. (!!) I recently migrated from 10 Pro to 10 LTSC IoT and all of my music software works fine. The only downside is since it's a version of Windows 10 that's basically be frozen in time in the past, other than security updates, new software could theoretically not work on it. But all of my stuff (including Kontakt 8) installed no problem, and I have a ton of VSTs.
  24. I really like the general arrangement and ideas you had for this track! This is right up my alley as far as genre goes. Theres a lot to learn and discover in dubstep, let alone the entirety of EDM, andI look forward to seeing more from you and what steps you take in your production journey. What DAW do you use?

    Taking a little break from spooky season today, in recognition of Diwali 🪔🎇🎆, to bring you some Spicy Curry 🍛
  28. Yes, there are some really extensively sampled VST instruments that you can't tell apart from their original instrument models. And some of them, such as the 8Dio Steel Drums or the Misfit Harmonica, are also incredibly cheap, although the developers may be able to offer the VSTis at lower prices because they obviously develop their VSTis exclusively for the full version of Kontakt (which is probably why the VSTis in the free Kontakt Player “only” run in demo mode) and therefore don't have to pay any additional fees to Native Instruments. I guess that you already have a full version of Kontakt that isn't too old. ... I, on the other hand, really have to figure out how to achieve my desired goal. Because I'm actually reluctant to upgrade my still reliable and fast system with a really powerful computer running the still excellent Windows 7 Pro 64-bit operating system (especially since I dread having to reinstall all the DAW-related stuff, third-party VSTis, and other programs - because there was always a lot to keep in mind, which I probably should have made a note of at the time). And I didn't want to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro yet, because I would probably have to upgrade a few rather expensive hardware components and then probably have to get one of those giant PC cases that wouldn't even fit in the PC niche of my desk, and I would have to buy a new desk and build a new desk attachment for the monitor, studio monitor speakers, audio interface, and headphone amplifier - it would be a never-ending chain of events if I went down that route. I really racked my brains over this, but in the end I came up with a reasonably satisfactory solution to gain access to more up-to-date VSTis by taking the following steps: 1) Purchase of a 4 TB SSD (currently 2 TB HDD) or a 4 TB (or larger) HDD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone have extensive experience with how reliably SSDs work on newer Windows systems? I once read that Windows 11 or certain Windows updates have occasionally caused SSDs from certain manufacturers to crash or the SSDs were even destroyed. 2) Purchase of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit ------------------------------------------------------------------- The system will then be considered “insecure” for the next few years. But hey, I'm just coming out of the Windows 7 era and, apart from reliable external security programs, I would at least have the option of purchasing the latest VSTis if I like one (including the full version of Kontakt 8). No more annoying Windows updates (as I was already used to with the late Windows 7) and, in theory, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit should be able to utilize hardware resources such as my 32 GB DDR4 RAM even more efficiently than my good ol' Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. 3) Purchase of Kontakt 8 ------------------------------------------- ... so that I can finally make full use of excellent VSTis such as those from 8Dio. Maybe I should take advantage of any Black Friday special deals in November before the next version of Kontakt is released, which may only support Windows 11. ... But overall, the investment will definitely cost another 700 to 800 euros if I consider the 4 TB SSD version. Music production can be a really expensive hobby if you want to keep up with the times (I hope I won't have to worry about annoying hardware upgrades for the next 10 years). But that's still cheaper and much more enjoyable than having a maintenance-intensive piece of car in the city. If you have any other good tips, please let me know. ))
