  3. Today
  4. I've been a fan of @Tremendouz's cover of "Reset ~ Thank You" since I heard it on the Pixel Mixers "Sounds of Sunrise" album. This remix is quite different, but I love them both. This version is a bit more upbeat, but I love it's "both laid-back and punchy at the same time" vibe. Feels like perfect end-of-summer music.
  5. Haha, I know what you mean. But no the finished one fades in, does not start abruptly like that. I'm working a good amount at the moment, just thought I would upload Shadowrun to YT next. I'm working on Ninja Gaiden II, Double Dragon III (NES), Finishing Shadowrun at the moment. Also have a good amount of other I had finished a while ago I had not uploaded yet; like Parasite Eve, Ducktales 2, Final Fight 3, Final Fantasy I (NES). I'm not sure what that is, but good catch. I'll check it out! Thanks for the feedback! c:
  6. Ya got a very interesting style as a composer. I really dig the immersive soundscape. )) Great stuff! Is this your latest remix you were working on? ... The only thing I would keep in mind in the future is that the first sound signal in the music project probably should not start right on the first bar, but rather you should leave a full bar or so empty before the first note starts with the second bar, so to speak. This can also help to avoid processing errors in the DAW or even the swallowing of the first transients and sound impressions. I think there was a discussion about this in a thread of the forum many years ago, explaining why this is done - maybe someone still has a link to it. I can also hear a slight crackling noise at the end of the song in the last moments of the fade-out around minute 4:25 - maybe check this again.
  7. Loved playing Curse of the Moon on the 3DS. This arrangement is a real treat, super fun!
  8. I've posted some HL-related stuff in the Discord a few times and had one (unsuccessful, because it was too cover-like!) remix submitted from the games, and there's really not any good representation of the Half-Life series on here. The games aren't super well-known for their music specifically since Kelly Bailey used a lot of sampling in the original, but they do have a few random bangers here and there. Attached is my remix (for feedback), and the video below is what the original sounds like. The original song is quite short and doesn't provide a whole lot to work with, but I tried to go with a sort of jazzy/deep-house-esque sound, with a breakbeat underlayment invoking the feel of bands like fox capture plan. triage_at_dawn.mp3
  9. MK64 Titel 2025-08-30 2324.mp3 Pretty basic for now. Not sure I’ll finish this at the moment… would love to do something a bit more original but was inspired to make… flexing some mixing muscles. Source:
  10. Arrangement aspects of this are in a good place. I applaud the changes made to the original to make this your own, there's a lot of really interesting things going on. With that in mind I would like to see some more development of the melody some as well as variation in the percussion within any given section. The fade out ending isn't great, but not a deal breaker by itself. The improvised soloing in the 1:36 is nice, I'm not 100% sold on a few of the phrases here but it gets the job done. The guys already laid this out pretty well. So I'm not going to rehash a ton of it. The major downfall of this is the production. From sound/sample choices and mixing are low quality. I don't even know why there's a dip in the 2kHz range either. There's a ton of mud in the low end and overall a general lack of clarity. Establish clarity between the parts and a more fullness of sound. Neat ideas, but very much lacking on the production side. NO

  12. Yesterday
  13. Hey all! Someone on my YT said it would be cool to make some Shadowrun remixing. I'm working on just that and I just finished this one. I had forgotten all about this game TBH, a shame since I always loved it. Posting here before YT! Hope someone enjoys.
  14. Hola, name's Mystwalker. I've known OCRemix for a long time, had people tell me I should join since around 2011 maybe? But never quite joined until now (big thanks to @Master Mi for giving me the final nudge to join). Mostly due to my imposter syndrome + being a dumb kid. Here is a little bit about me I guess, I'm not great at this stuff but here it goes: I'm a self-taught composer, keyboardist and percussionist. Started my music journey in 2009. My Messy Music Journey: 2009: Uploaded my first "remix" – PSX RPG Maker's "Home 3" with... let's call it "aggressive soundfont reskinning." 🤡 The Dark Ages: Churned out many such "reskinned bangers" (heavy sarcasm intended). Hey, we all start somewhere! Evolution: Gradually leveled up to actual arrangements + originals. Kept everything public – the good, the bad, the cringe. My YouTube's basically a 218-video journal of my musical growth. 2022 Hiatus: Vanished to practice like a hermit. Did commissions, released some commercial stuff. Came back recently to revive the channel with slightly less terrible skills! Been obsessed with VGM since I was a kid – 8-bit and 16-bit soundtracks are the lifeblood of everything I create (even if it does not sound like it). I remember recording video game music from the TV speakers into cassette tapes because I loved it so much and then going out with my Walkman of shitty VGM recordings thinking I was the coolest. lol tools of the trade: Include but not limited to - FL Studio, Kontakt libraries like Shreddage (both drums and guitar), Damage 2, Orange Tree Samples' guitars, Omnisphere, Sylenth, Serum, Engine 2 libraries, KORG VSTis, Roland VSTis, Arturia synths VSTis, many others all but those are the most regular use. But yeah not sure what else to say - I'm terrible at introductions, but must say I am loving the place and it feels just like the golden years of internet forums! Something I used to indulge in a good bit! TL;DR: Long-time Self-taught composer / remixer | FL Studio addict | Terrible at intros. Cheers everyone. 🍻

    Forest Blast

    Here's an atmospheric 8Track that blends remixes of "Forest Interlude (Web Woods)" into remixes of "Stickerbush Symphony (Bramble Blast)", with RebeccaETripp's "Forest Blast" as the pivot point, naturally.

    That 70's 8Track

    Time to get your groove on with "Green Glade Groove", right here on D.Rezzy's Super Sounds of the 70's.
  17. That's too kind! Means a lot to hear that! For some reason I have always found it difficult to stick to a genre! Probably because being a big video game music lover, must have wired me that way. Video games are the motherlode of mixed music genres after all! All the tracks you recommended ("Flute of Sleepwalk," "The Abysmal Depths," etc.) sound amazing – I’ll tackle as many as time allows for sure. I also would like to thank you for taking the time to not only share my stuff around, but also to write that great tour guide of the site! It is great to have a focused summary of the site, and to learn how stuff works around here. Really appreciate you taking the time! I will definitely share my stuff. I'm thinking it would be great to have feedback from people who love video game music. Dude, for real? I had no idea he was the CEO of Impact Soundworks. And not only I do use Shreddage, but this remix was always one of my favorites and was big inspiration for my own. That's awesome. you've done awesomely at that for sure, and I feel wholly welcome already. c: Keep at it, even when it seems difficult; as music can be! Cheers, man! 🍻

  20. Last week
  21. You're radically welcome, @MystWalker! )) Your Lufia 2 remixes are absolutely dope - didn't took me long to realize that you are a really talented and ambitious composer. You also seem to be quite flexible in your style and music genre rather than limiting yourself too much in such matters (which is great in terms of future musical development potential). I hope that you will make more Lufia 2 remixes in the near (or distant) future, especially some remixes for the original soundtracks I mentioned on YouTube - just to revisit the original themes I already recommended to ya: - "Flute of Sleepwalk" (mystical theme) >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6JgflZYy6k - "The Abysmal Depths of the Ocean" (mystical theme) >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJU83RQZfOM - "The Lost World" (mystical theme) >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk3omXPfuVM - "Final Battle" (heroic/energetic theme) >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fzm2O4Zt-k - "To the Future" (emotional/sad and happy theme) >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5zoFZq3Frw But I'm not here to shit ya you with work right away. ^^ I rather wanted to point out a few things to you in the OC Remix forum, which you may have already taken a quick look at - things like these: 1) Perhaps it's best to start by creating your profile so that others can see what you're generally interested in, which DAW you use for composing, what additional software instruments and plugins you use, or what instruments and musical skills you have mastered or are currently learning. ... 2) There is also a thread for newcomers where you can introduce yourself: https://ocremix.org/community/topic/7744-the-newbie-introduction-thread-come-on-in-and-say-hello/ For example, I would be interested to know how long you have been making music and writing remixes, or what you want to achieve musically in the future - your musical dreams, so to speak (if you have something specific in mind). ... 3) Before you submit your first remix, make sure to read the submission rules: https://ocremix.org/info/Content_Policy And then you can basically submit your first remix to the forum right away using this link: https://ocremix.org/community/submissions/ ... 4) You can also just share your own video game remixes (without submitting it to the judges - if you want to get some feedback before) in the thread "Post Your Video Game Remixes!": https://ocremix.org/community/forum/12-post-your-game-remixes/ You can share your own original compositions in the thread "Post Your Original Music!": https://ocremix.org/community/forum/15-post-your-original-music/ ... 5) You can also ask questions or start threads and discussions in the specific sections of the forum. ... Guess that's pretty much everything you need to know to get started, and I'll leave the rest of the journey of discovery in the OC Remix Forum to your own curiosity. )) I hope you'll submit one of your fiery Lufia remixes sometime soon. The listeners at OC Remix and all fans of video game music are guaranteed to go wild for it, and I would definitely submit the awesome Battle #1 remix as a starting point and first musical milestone at OC Remix. As far as my taste is concerned, over the years I've only found one really cool Lufia 2 remix on OC Remix. It was composed by Zircon, one of the early leading members of OC Remix: or (if you want to use the direct OC Remix YouTube link): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZ5suUrN38 I'm not sure how active he still is on the forum these days. But I think he's pretty busy as a developer of VST instruments (Zircon is the CEO of Impact Soundworks and has developed famous VSTis such as Shreddage, which you apparently also use), creating video games and composing his own soundtracks from time to time. I'm just an advanced beginner on my own musical journey, but I hope I've been able to give you at least a little introduction to OC Remix. Have fun, dude. ))
  22. Lol, Mario Kart 64....very popular amongst my military unit....many moons ago...and more than one brewing fistfight had to be calmed down;) Later, I should have time to comment on the Koopa remix that I listened to.
  23. What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.
  24. Hell, yeah. 🤘 I know. Got a really good taste when it comes to radically awesome, rare and hard-to-find video game music remixes. *heroic victory fanfare playin'* But I'm just the joyful messenger here - a messenger with the happy-go-lucky golden retriever vibes full of serious excitement, eagerly looking forward to upgrading my large MP3 player and soundtrack collection with a few more killer tracks. The legendary genius and composer behind this Lufia 2 remix masterpieces ist just one comment above yours - yep, the dude with the kinda naughty-looking hentai girl profile picture. ... I will also write back to you in a few days, Mystwalker. Just have to beat a few more rounds against Chaos in my own world like a Warrior of Light (or rather like some sort of a forced hobby paperboy in the secretary office edition). ))
  25. Great, thanks! I fell off the edge of the world when I met my girlfriend in 2008, got married, got divorced, realized I gave up every part of who I was for 12 years for that, met and got to know myself for 5 years, ended up back here as part of that! So just stuff. Listening to the entire back catalog on shuffle right now, about 650 mixes into 4800ish... Y'all been REAL busy while I was gone!
  26. As much as I'd like to see the human involvement in this piece or the other submissions by Craig, it is overshadowed by the audacity of submitting an entire album's worth of generative AI slop and lying about how large a role generative AI played in it. I have no pithy comments to make - my fellow judges summed up my feelings pretty well, and there's no need to belabor the point. NO. DO NOT resubmit anything using Suno or other such tools again and lie about it.
