2025/10/08 - Sonic R "Sorrows of the City"
paradiddlesjosh replied to prophetik music's topic in Judges Decisions
Really cool source! I haven't been plugged into Sonic since the Genesis era so it's refreshing to get exposed to new tracks. I'm probably going to sound like I'm dogpiling with my fellow Js. First, the track is much too loud; I'm going to echo prophetik's suggestion to start by cutting the volume in half for every instrument. There isn't anything cohesive about this track in its arrangement or production aspects. It's unclear what instrument has prominence above and beyond the others while they all fight to be heard. On top of that, there is very little resemblance to the source material in your track's arrangement beyond the chord progression. The vocal melody is by far the most unique aspect of "Living in the City" and it doesn't sound like it's represented in your arrangement. At the risk of being a broken record, I also recommend checking out the #workshop channel on our Discord server or the workshop here on the forums, especially the Office Hours meetings most Wednesday evenings. The folks in our community can help you take this track to the next level. NO -

OCR04759 - Flashback "Flashback from the Future"
Estrang replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I've never owned or played Amiga but I can really appreciate this tune and the original composers cyberpunk aesthetic through this beautiful remix. Also a huge fan of the instrument choice, those echoey bells are so iconic reminding me of a few artists in the 90s that used them heavily. This track was a must download for me. I probably download about 5-10% of the remixes I listen to. -
OCR04760 - Lufia II "The Shrine of Twisted Shadows"
Estrang replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
A great first remix, and I would of assumed it came from an oldhead, lots of familiar sounding instruments here from the trance/techno heavy era of early oc remix. A great tune and I'll have to check out Lufia / Lufia II have heard great stuff about it. -
2025/10/08 - Sonic R "Sorrows of the City"
jnWake replied to prophetik music's topic in Judges Decisions
Sonic R has such a classic soundtrack... This begins with an orchestra hit and we then get an acoustic guitar that sounds like the MIDI soundfont of old Guitar Pro versions accompanied by some pads. The harmony here is rather odd, I'm fairly sure the pads are playing A-B-C as lowest notes but the guitar chords are F-G-Am, so they're not gelling well together. A synth bass of sorts enter a bit later and the soundscape gets very muddy, very hard to parse what each instrument is doing. At 0:29 the soundscape focuses on some chords without much evident direction. A piano melody joins in a bit later, not sure if it's echoing part of the source. At times there's new instruments added but they're usually buried behind the pad and guitars. Around 2:00 the soundscape becomes more sparse and I can hear the bass clearly finally. At 2:30 we return to a similar vibe than before for a bit, until a piano playing the main chord progression from the original joins in. I don't think the different parts fit together very well here, it sounds like a mass of unrelated sounds. I'll be honest, this is quite below our bar in both arrangement and production... On arrangement, this is a very repetitive piece without much clear focus or direction. The original track features a ton of melodies and different chord progressions yet I barely hear any of that here. Also, I'm not sure most of the parts really fit together during many parts of the cover: chords and bass that don't fit together, melodies on top of each other without any relation... On production, this falls on 2 main aspects: mixing and samples. Regarding the first, the track is very unbalanced, with the background elements (pads and guitar) being often extremely loud, making it impossible to really hear the other instruments. On the second, several of the samples used are of very low quality, like the acoustic guitar during the first section. I'd recommend going to our Discord and seeking advice in our #workshop channel, where people can help you understand more about arranging and production. NO - Last week

Estrang replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Played FFV for the first time a few years ago on the ole SNES, and this jam goes so great could see myself just flying around in the airship listening to this with a nice drink and the cat on the lap and the kiddo screaming in the background throwing stuff at me. -

A beautiful piece that hopefully helps in peace and recovery. -
OCR04779 - Final Fantasy IX "Terra Calls"
Estrang replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Another beautiful classical piece. As I work backwards newest to oldest I continue to enjoy the peaceful sounds and interpretations of RebeccaETripp's remixes. It also gives me a kind of cozy christmas feel, could easily slot this in closer to Christmas! Maybe thats the Harry Potter effect of those movies always releasing around Christmas? I think? -

Is there a word in the dictionary to describe a specific type of note or sound just bringing a sense of satisfaction? I don't know if that is just the quality of the mix but it comes through my speakers in a super high fidelity way? This is bomb. I don't really know what's going on, par for the course, but there's zombie chickens at the club or something. Anyway I gotta bring it back to the beginning, that opening is so crisp and clean, it's like a shower for my ears, yeah.

OCR04945 - Friday the 13th "You and Your Friends Are Dead."
Estrang replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ooooo this beat goes so hard. Perfect bass for this. Reminds me of my days getting sucked into industrial music for unhealthy long stretches. But we all need a little darkness to appreciate the light! And this is truly a gem of darkness! 💎 -
OCR04946 - Final Fantasy XIV "Ancient Skyline"
Estrang replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yes! Wow, I only have one FF14 track saved on my youtube playlist, and its this song. They always have amazing music but my Samurai just kind of chilling at the top of the city listening to this tune, ah it was glorious. What a beautiful remix of it, keeps the jazzy downtown vibe with more sax appeal? I don't know, but this is another beaut from ff14. 🔝 -

I hope this starts an annuel thing (Like the Overclocked Christmas)... Last Halloween Album I downloaded from here was "Candy Corn" .... Keep up the amazing work ... Cheers! -
It might sound something like this....... It's kind of a compilation mix in which I did gameplay music, storyline music, and perhaps even some ending music. It's highly inspired from old school games but it's completely original music. Its pretty much all Cinematic Studio Series. What do you think? Does this have old school Super Mario vibes? Please....critique away and tell me the good, bad, and the ugly.

Hi all! I'm working on a project to recreate the 1990s Goof Troop cartoon theme song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq65oOtwRdM) for the original SNES game. The goal is to add it to the game's title screen as a ROM hack. I found this version someone made to sound like a Genesis game, but it was made with a VST in a normal composition tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20SOO4AmLl8 Do y'all know any folk who are really good with SNES' assembly-based music formats (particularly Capcom's) and making chiptunes sound good? Would love to collaborate. I'm in a Discord server with the guys who have already modded the game and made an editor, but I think we need someone who can make the brrs really sing. ;D Thank you!
