Sorry for the late reply!:) This is a video example of the bass line having a trance gate on it. If you compare this to my Twisted Systerz ReMix, you can hear the difference. I used the same synth (Harmless, I love EQing and "filtering" by harmonics) with a very similar rhythm throughout both. First link is an original with the trance gate, the YouTube link is my mix, without the gate. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16-1L_oZ4kt-bB9nf0H0Fqq96peQZiXEU/view?usp=drivesdk

HAPPY SILKSONG DAY! OC ReMix and DaMonz present A Knight (for a Knight)! September 4, 2025 Contact: press@ocremix.org ATLANTA, GA... OC ReMix is proud to present DaMonz's A Knight (for a Knight), Canadian game developer & composer Emery Monzerol's earnest tribute to the celebrated indie platformer Hollow Knight, released in celebration of today's launch of long-awaited sequel game Hollow Knight: Silksong, scored by Australian composer Christopher Larkin. A Knight (for a Knight) features four mellow, lo-fi-inspired arrangements of music from the original Hollow Knight. The EP also features cello performances by Monzerol's mother Christine Giguère, making the EP a family collaboration. The visual artwork was created by Annie Doyon, creator of the album art for 2017's Mirror Image: A Link to the Past Remixed. A Knight (for a Knight) is available for free download at https://knight.ocremix.org. "Hollow Knight holds a very special place in my heart, because playing that game was a very crucial moment in my recovery from pretty severe depression," shared album director DaMonz. "Working in a big game company had been siphoning out my passion for a while, and Hollow Knight was the game that reminded me why I was doing what I was doing. I will forever be grateful to Team Cherry for essentially saving my life!

"Just as it so often does, it spiraled almost out of control in the classic loop of "just a little more", until it became the 4-track EP that it is now!

Source tune: What I got so far. It's a very dissonant source to begin with, so I feel like I'm gonna have a lot of wiggle room for my original junk in this one. Get Rocked (Sonic Spinball).mp3

Could be both, but i *definitely* remember that, so it was from here, lol.

MacGlocky's new album Fantasy Covers 5. Brilliant work. He's playing a band playing another band covering another band!

Can we get the old orange theme as an option? /s Looks nice and clean.

I still use this phrase on a way-too-regular basis...

I don't at all remember the context, but the phrase has never left my mind. That and shittingdicknipples, but I don't remember if that was from here or Something Awful.

@MystWalker I just read your newbie introduction a few days ago. Man, this sounded quite sad. Did you grow up in a highly abusive environment or surrounded by nuclear physicists and rocket scientists or something? Because I find it hard to believe that a child would describe itself as a “dumb kid” without a correspondingly hostile human environment. If there is such a thing as dumb kids, then they are usually the ones who, as adults, drink away their most basic brain functions, consume harmful drugs, march into the resource wars of high society with the utmost euphoria, madness, and ignorance, or in other small-minded ways throw away the gift of life far too hastily. Sure, intelligent people can also develop suicidal, life-threatening tendencies when their life force is at a critically low level (or let's say, when bioelectric current no longer flows properly through their bodies). But in most cases, it is rather highly intelligent, creative, and passionate people who start doing interesting things like composing soundtracks and then develop such awesome musical abilities that they can create fiery Lufia 2 remixes like these. I had read about this imposter syndrome some time ago. But I always found it hard to imagine that such a thing even existed (since people tend to be happy about their own successes and progress and show off a little ^^), which is why I dismissed it as something belonging to the realm of unicorns, elves, and fairy tales. But you, with your exaggerated modesty in stark contrast to your insane compositional skills, really seem to be such a case. So I'm really glad I literally coerced you into finally joining OC Remix. :D ... Haha, man, that really made me laugh a little, especially when I think about how I pictorally stumbled into OC Remix with full force back then. I guess you could compare it to a radically overexited Golden Retriever turning a professional competition into a feeding frenzy: ... No kidding, man. I joined OC Remix around 2013, had just bought my first DAW, and was full of anticipation and euphoria back then. Even without any significant knowledge of music theory, composition, or mixing, I wanted to make a big splash and create my first remix to share here on OC Remix. The result was an accelerated, hyper-compressed remix loop of the original Battle #3 theme (the Sinistral battle theme) from Lufia 2, which also had massive (clearly audible) clipping in the master. At the time, I was very proud of my first remix and celebrated it enthusiastically (in a certain way, I still find it interesting today) - but of course, this kind of mastering disaster without any compositional effort on my part was completely torn apart by the old-timers at OC Remix (which, however, did not stop me from continuing to radically admire my first sound achievement :DD). I even kept my first shot in the dark 'n' dusty corners of my computer. Here, in case you want to listen to this track I called "Sinistral Salvation" (but be careful that the studio monitor speakers don't experience their own salvation and start to smoke 'n' burn out 'cause of the massive compression and clipping): Lufia 2 - Sinistral Salvation (Master Mi Remix - Short Version).mp3 Over the next few years, I slowly began to focus more and more on music theory, arrangements with my first own compositional ideas, as well as mixing and mastering. And then, after getting to grips with my first professional DAW and some more usable audio equipment, I was able to create my first real remixes a few years later, which, in the case of my old Lufia remix, already sounded something like this (again, a remix of the Battle #3 theme from Lufia 2). You have to turn it up about twice as loud to achieve a comparable loudness, because at this time I have already mastered all my soundtracks uniformly according to the EBU R 128 loudness standard with approx. - 23 dBFS as a target loudness value, in order to ensure a correspondingly high dynamic range and sound quality free from the degrading influence of limiters and compressors on the samples, peaks and transients: The remix already contains some really good compositional ideas, although the mixing/mastering is still kinda messed up here, as my mixing and mastering skills only began to develop about three years later, after I finally got myself some proper professional studio monitors and was able to hear certain things, details and inconsistencies in the mix much better and, based on that, gradually developed my dynamic mixing concept called “Life Force,” which was only really applied for the first time in my last two remixes. I will definitely give this Lufia remix a major update in the future with drastically improved mixing/mastering and certainly some interesting compositional changes. ... But by the time I, as a truly lame composer duck, have finished this, you will probably have released five new and truly overwhelming Lufia 2 remixes, which I will listen to on repeat with greatest enthusiasm. ^_^

Come on, guys - don't leave me hanging here. I really need some feedback on the latest version of my remix, especially from the old-timers and pros here, as I'm considering submitting this remix as my very first soundtrack at OC Remix. But I would basically be happy to receive a massive shitload of different opinions from a few OC Remix members. ))

@MystWalker Nope, I wasn't talking about fade-ins at this point. But even fade-ins should not start at the first bar. They should also start at the second bar (or later). I think that it was really about improving the processing of the music project so that no transients or sound events would be swallowed up or poorly processed by the DAW and no unwanted sound artifacts would occur at the very beginning of the soundtrack. Guess it could have to do with the little time the DAW needs for loading/buffering the project. Incidentally, the short lead-in of a whole bar is also quite good for counting in (when playing live/recording, for grooving, or for better synchronized interaction in bands). ... After you have fixed these little issues, you should really give it a try and submit this track. It's absolutely fire! 🔥

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

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.

I love the sound and structure of this!

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:

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.
