Hi, I'm Quinn. :) 'Be Attitude' is from Radiant Silvergun. Hard to do. 'Ceramic Hallways' is from Phantasy Star 3. Trash. 'Charm Vibes' is from Ristar. A cute Latin style remix. 'Dark Engine' is from Scorcher. Dont ask me what I was thinking, it's awful. 'Moonlight Alone' is from Lunar 2 : Eternal Blue. One of my favorite RPG's ever. 'Submerged Forest' is from I have no clue. I think it was option music from a Sega game, but that doesn't help..... been a long time. 'Tree to Woodwind' is from Panzer Dragoon Zwei. I remember working very hard on this at the time. Might not sound great, but damn, what a game.... Liontamer, you're right. That 'Solace Eldean' track is definitely mine. I wrote it back in 1996!!! Not sure who yanked it, but strange; it was an original.

truth. my music was arguably better when i was changing strings once a year and not tuning

OOHHHHHH SNAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP (leman)

If only you guys put this much effort, emotion and dedication into practicing music...

A virtual instrument included in MixCraft -- it gets the job done until I record a real one I used a VST called Alter/Ego by Plogue -- it's pretty easy to use and, once again, gets the job done You just type your lyrics and select a voice bank -- I usually go with Bones Basic -- and there you go ! Thanks ! I'll do my best to produce the best piece I possibly can !

Thank you sir! I've been wanting to participate for a while now, but I haven't had any ideas (aside from sound sidegrades). And, to answer your question, I'm indeed KlevarKoopa on ThaSauce (also my YouTube username). I'm mostly keeping this name on here for nostalgia's sake (and it also aligns with my SoundCloud username). Once again, I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's mixes! Edit #1: I updated my entry - I edited the drums. After listening, they felt "off". I hope that I got it a bit better this time!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for participating, it means a lot! (edit) Are you Klevarkoopa on CompoThaSauce? Also, we have 3 viable entries thus far. 1 more day to go! It's nice to know we can now hit the due date I was aiming for, so we can get the results on Howlowe'en day :3

I also have fun childhood (er...teenhood?) memories playing this game and yes, the soundtrack was one of the things that made the game exceptionally memorable to me. SS Anubis and another track I can't remember the title of are ones I'm particularly fond of. Getting a real orchestra to play something like that sounds great, but I'm afraid Meteo Xavier is right to point out the obstacles to making that a reality. I know of at least one guy who did a cover of SS Anubis, using great samples, but I guess that's not quite what you were hoping for.

It sounds like Mr. Bean gave you his answer already. Short of a fan orchestral album, it's probably not going to be feasible to happen. Good orchestra music costs money and Jet Force Gemini likely isn't a property that could justify it the way orchestras performing Mario and Final Fantasy music (the "honey money", as it were) could. Ocremix people probably could pull it off, but same problem: lots of time and effort for not enough non-monetary payoff; and that's before we get into the potential legal redtape that game companies might get into once they find out (and having composers themselves give support isn't enough to cover that). On the other hand, who knows? Maybe there will be a full HD remake of Jet Force Gemini sometime in the future where the soundtrack will get the appropriate update as well. That's a not-too-bad chance of happening in current era.

Music will go up either tonight or tomorrow.

I'm glad I didn't win because that's what I call a source.

I love the music for the Sonic games! I may participate in this round!

My last thought, which I'm giving, leaving, and not coming back to: One of my remixes is so far removed from the original that if you take away the original melody, because of the altered harmony and counterpoint, it sounds like a completely different piece. I've actually performed said remix without the original melody as an original composition for a graduate composition recital. An analysis of it shows that without the melody, the style, harmony, and counterpoint are so far removed from the original that it can classify as a completely different piece no matter how you look at it. I mean like...it's now less than 10% the speed of the original, the melody was almost completely reharmonized. The harmony doesn't even classify as tonal anymore at this point. It has a loose key center, so it's key centric, but the function of the chords don't exist in a traditionally tonal sense. If you speed it up 10x, then the groups of measures together suggest a tonal progression, but the actual phrases in the piece are not tonal. Basically I wrote a contrafact of the Underwater theme from Super Mario Bros. I'm a jazz musician, so the idea of taking several tunes with the exact same content and changing the melody is normal. The concept of contrafact is kind of a center point of the genre. Sometimes when people write a tune, the original writers fade into obscurity while the performers of said piece get credited. Donna Lee is credited to Miles Davis, but that is heavily debated. It is a contrafact of the tune Indiana, and is practiced as such. The chord changes to I Got Rhythm are so iconic that we just basically call them rhythm changes. There is no effort at all to hide the fact that it's basically the exact content of the song minus the melody. There are other times where tunes are arranged in DRASTICALLY different styles and although they are the original song, they contributed to the development of the genre, or in some cases multiple genres in a significant way. Many musicians do arrangements literally all the time to develop their compositional and arrangement technique. More times than not, doing an arrangement of a VG tune in the style of a composer helps me learn more about the writing of that composer than if I were writing an original tune in that style. It takes less time, so I can get more out of it really quickly. Brahms wrote Theme and Variations on a Theme by Haydn. But Brahms is credited as the composer, not the arranger. In the classical canon, having a theme and variations form virtually always results in a new piece, even though the melodic content was written by somebody else. Brahms, Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss are some of the major composers in the classical canon, and they all wrote theme and variations on the themes of somebody else, yet are credited as the composers. Theme and Variations on a Theme by Haydn was basically a remix of a piece by Haydn. But Brahms is credited as composer. I mean if by added some seasoning you mean I dumped so many seasonings to it that it's basically a mountain of rainbow powder with no liquid left, then yes. I just added some seasoning of my own. That is a simplification of what goes on and you know it, so please drop the condescending attitude toward the matter, thank you very much. And please for the love of God don't do the thing where you quote each individual sentence of this post and make me defend it line by line, because I have better things to do with my time. People get tired of that REALLY quickly, because more times than not, you simplify what they said in your response, which just adds fuel to the fire rather than continuing the discussion. People waste so much more time correcting your simplifications than actually continuing the discussion because you "don't give a shit."

I love coming back to check the OCR forums once every 6 years and still the same debates are going on. Just enjoy making music, no point in trying to justify it, or find some kind of deeper meaning or value in it, just have fun.
