Dude, how were you able to find this treasures? Thanks, btw.

I'm surprised the system let you submit, because i was 2 minutes on the dot, and when it eventually, loaded the round had ended lol. But it's a relief we have 4 entries. More to discuss...

Got my vote in! Managed to be early for a change XD

Thank you for the lovely comments! I'll keep working to try and make this something I can be proud of going forward. As far as vocals are concerned I really like searching for new vocal packs and goodies. I think primarily I use Heavyocity's Vocalize 1 and 2 and 8dio's Jennie for solo female stuff. For full choirs I use 8dios studio sopranos and Strezov Sampling has a few choirs I like. I think personally I get way more bang for my buck on vocal libraries than anything. There are a few more I want but money is tight and I am not able to really demo things to determine whether it's worth a dive. But yeah Heavyocity's Vocalize series is just gorgeous. Lots of cool pads too which I always like to fiddle with! edit: https://www.asoundeffect.com/sound-category/instruments/vocal-instrument/ I forgot these! All of these are super duper fantastic and highly usable. I tweak the settings some, and in my head many times I think I want a certain type of vocal sound. Then if its a legato type phrase I'll mostly try and do it on my own with those patches but if I am feeling somethhing more virtuoso then I just spend some time listening to different presets they have and when one I like stands out, I program it in with timing, filters, etc. I'm a vocalist myself (though I never use my vocals on my tracks lol) so I can imagine a lot of stuff and this helps me get through the plethora of settings I think. You also thhough need some theory knowledge because sometimes I'll play a song in one key but the presets dont have that key. So try to find a nearby key or at least a phrase that can scoot in nicely in whatever given chord progression during the point in the music. Takes some getting used to and maybe not the best workflow but I like it enough!

744 here. So, okay - most of this remix is already done, but I need feedback on production/mixing. I have a limited set of speakers/headphones on which to really listen to this, but at the moment it sounds pretty good to my self-taught ears. I'd like to know: - if overall the arrangement is too close to the source - if the kick is too powerful and the compressor is pumping too much -- even though this is more a stylistic choice, I don't want to go overboard - if any other parts are hard to hear, overpowering, or are muddy. I'm not great at getting each component to sound separated in the mix, but I tried - what I should name it. I was thinking something like "Elnubnub is gone" or "Giant Alien Spiders" Thanks for listening!

If you guys are interested, one of the composers who also assisted with the score, did a re-arrange for the Phillips CDI. You might be interested. They basically took this source, but replaced the stabs with dark strings, and enhanced more of the cyberpunk flavour. The breakbeat also becomes a background element, than a main feature, because Jason Page added more techno-industrial beats to the beat. Link:

It really does. I had a real hard time choosing a song from the OST for this, it was either Inner Darkside, Iyazoi, My Dear D and one other...but I hedged my bets on Inner cause TBH it was the song that really got me going and bobbing my head while slashing enemies apart. The stage the song's in is pretty spooky and cool / interesting graphically as well! Look it up on YouTube sometime! I think it's Stage 3 or so, (after the horse ride and fighting your way past the guards and stuff to get deep into the facility they're in)... :3
