Falling in Love

A small collection of sweet, romantic ReMixes to share with someone you love. Several of these arrangements feature vocals, most feature acoustic guitar; all of them brought joyful tears to my eyes and thoughts of my spouse. 🥹3 points -

An OverClocked Christmas v.XIX...
colorado weeks and one other reacted to Unknown Pseudoartist for a topic
If no problem with that, I'd be glad to join this album too, for the first time. After all, there's no strict quality controls or anyone being nitpicky with mixing on this one, right? :D You say any source is okay, even if not VGM, but just asking: are original compositions allowed, too? Because it sounds more tempting to try something original but influenced by good weather (aka cold and snow haha). If this is only about arrangements/remixes of other things, the source I'm thinking of is "Ary" from Tales of Phantasia. The original is slow and chill as heck, but I'd love to try something a lot faster and upbeat, in the style of the so-called "doujin" artists from the 2000s like I-Chu, Akineko, U-Gen, etc. I can totally see the vibe fitting this style and still fitting the theme, kinda sounding like some weirdo is having fun running with a skate all around the streets of an empty city because everyone is busy at their homes with family and stuff, just a funny concept I'm toying with mentally :D2 points -

Project update: Album's done, there are no more loose ends (When it was submitted in October there were one or two items that I was tying up behind the scenes). It's now entirely up to OCR and their staff to create the package, trailer, etc., and deliver some fantastic music for y'all. Thanks for your immense patience, it will be worth it!2 points -

Star Fox Remix Album - Potential OC ReMix Submission Candidate!
Subz1987 and one other reacted to Darkflamewolf for a topic
Project Director: @Darkflamewolf (Director of Arcadia Legends, Mizar Attacks!, and SeeDs of Pandora) Project Concept: After much prodding and poking by a multitude of people/remixers, wanting me to get this Star Fox album project off the ground, I decided it's high time to get the pitch started! Hot off my take on the SeeDs of Pandora album, I figured we could do a similar thing where we had 'themed' discs with tracks that best matched the core essence of what the disc was aiming to be. However, since I'm not sure the overall interest and response to this album, I'm not going for a large multi-5-disc album like the FF8 one. Instead, I'm going to start off with a smaller 2-disc scope and see if we expand from there or get enough tracks to fill the entire ambition. To sign up, you must join the Community Remix Album Collaborations Discord server. We use it to communicate between all members on the project and makes things insanely easy to coordinate and keep track of the project as a whole. Once there, you can find the Google Form to submit your claim on a track and be part of the project! Discord Link: https://discord.gg/CtJ2a8kjRy The two Disc types*: - ACTIVE: You can interpret your chosen track into any genre/type of music you want, but it needs to maintain the frenetic feel of the original track. It's basically giving the Star Fox fan more of what they want. They got a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat Corneria theme? Well, we'll give them that and THEN SOME. Keep it active! Make it hard, fast, loud, crazy - go wild! These are tracks I want to really turn my speakers up high and just rage/rock out to! Let the walls pound with the beat. Note: But what if you want to remix a slower song from the OSTs into a crazy, active style? YOU SURE CAN! If it is active and fast, it belongs on this disc, regardless of the original source tune. - INTERPRETIVE: This disc is for everyone not looking for those crazy times, but wants to explore the melodies and themes beyond their original incarnations. Complete freedom of genre, style and mood. You can stay within the genre/style/mood of the original track or you can go off in wild new directions with it and remix it in a way nobody has ever thought of. Can we have active tracks on this disc? Sure, but those probably won't be the focus, but that's not stopping you from making some beats. This is truly the 'freedom to remix' disc. So, if the first disc was giving Star Fox fans more of what they loved, this is giving something they never knew they needed! Be unexpected! Don't repeat what has been done before - do something fresh and new with these tracks if you can! * - More discs and their types will be added depending on how big this balloons as a community project. --- QUESTION: What if a track has already been claimed by another, but it's for the ACTIVE disc and I want to do the same song more INTERPRETATIVE, can we both claim it? ANSWER: YES! However, this is the only instance doubles can exist. We can't have two Star Fox 64 Corneria's on the ACTIVE disc, but we can have one Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and one Star Fox 64 Corneria on the INTERPRETIVE disc. One variant per disc. Likewise, each Corneria theme is different from game to game, so we CAN have Star Fox (SNES) Corneria on the ACTIVE disc and a Star Fox 64 Corneria on the ACTIVE at the same time since, if you listen, they are different themes for the same place - this also applies to any track claims on the INTERPRETIVE disc. QUESTION: What if a track I want to claim isn't on these track listings? ANSWER: Then when you fill out the Google submission form on the Discord server, claiming a track, request it to be added to the list and that you're claiming it! --- TRACK LIST I am listing all available tracks from all Star Fox games, but that does not mean they all need to be claimed/covered. We'll take whatever we can get, but this album is meant to be a tribute to the series as a whole, thus the entire listing.

Fixes and news you should know about
ETHEREAL and one other reacted to DarkeSword for a topic
Fixes The MP3s for two recent remixes had some unintented skipping due to an error in the upload process. Those files have been updated and redistributed across our mirrors. Please update your local collections accordingly. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket "At the Drop of a Coin Flip" Silent Hill 4: The Room "Dreamy Ring Around the Forest" News Final Fantasy V: The Fabled Warriors is spinning up again with auditions open for Volume 3: Fire. Head to the audition event for details. Speaking of Projects, we've setup a new Project Comms forum that offers a direct channel to OCR's Project Staff (lead by @Kit Vivid) for all of your coordination needs. The threads you make are private, so only you and staff will see it. If you're currently running any album projects, head over there and setup a dedicated thread for each one. This will help Kit and the rest of the staff keep up with questions and communications about files, consent forms, album art, etc. Coming off rebuilding the Submissions system as a forum module and building the 8Tracks feature, I'm experimenting more with creating some tools for album project directors to play with in conjunction with the forum's Clubs feature. If you're an album project director and you're interested, head over to the OCR Discord and ask me about it. We'll see if we can get you set up. That's all for now. Stay tuned for more fun stuff on the horizon! -- DarkeSword2 points -
Tracks updated! ♥ I might be utilizing the forum's 'CLUBS' function here for this, as suggested by DarkeSword himself. :) I've also got access to the CRAC server as admin / album director, so I will be adding channels for AOCC and AOCH there as well, soon. :D Here's the link to the server, if you're not already on there! -- https://discord.gg/wKyadaTT And as a bit of a surprise, The Coop and I are working on the front and back covers for this!! Yay! Progress! :3 Official website details are still up in the air, but I'll be touching base with @tibonev & @colorado weeks on that ASAP. Hang ten, guys! Looking forward to hearing your WIPs! 🎃🥰2 points

YouTube link - Link to FLP+MIDI - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q7XB9RxuJy-a3X4BkgCtdaYZFVqbX5qg?usp=drive_link This FLP + MIDI is only for educational purposes, please don’t repost it as your own. The FLP should function flawlessly if you’re using the same libraries and plugins I use, however underneath you will see a list of the libraries I used to make this orchestration. I also used Kontakt 5 to make this.

There’s a chance I missed mentioning using a library since orchestral projects can become quite large. I’m only human, hopefully this is helpful. Take care Peshtiwar1 point

An OverClocked Christmas v.XIX...
colorado weeks reacted to The Coop for a topic
It's July 6th. It's not time for Summer or heat, it's time to think snow! The chilly air! The tiny ice patch on the driveway that you didn't see and ended up making you fall on your ass. Yes indeed, it's time to start recruiting for the next An OverClocked Christmas album! We've got over five months before the due date, so let's see how many people are interested in taking part for the nineteenth entry in this (usually) happy, seasonal project. As per the norm, this project is open to any and all OCR members, regardless of whether you're a posted remixer or not. You want info? I got your info right here... When's The Project Deadline?- December 20th, 2025 at 11:59 P.M. EST. This is now a REALLY hard, non-negotiable deadline, since it's very close to Christmas. We've had lots of last-minute entries and updates over the years and, to be perfectly honest, it shouldn't be that way. With months of time, having to hold off as long as possible for people made things pretty hectic for myself and Dyne in the past. Treating this project like a college paper that doesn't get worked on until the last minute got annoying rather quickly when it kept adding up to lots of hurrying year after year, with last second updates to artwork and retagging/reuploading things. As such, you have until one minute before midnight EST on December 20th to get me the final WAV or MP3 of your song. After that, you're shit outta luck until next year. I need time to do everything, including possibly making a little website to host this project if Dyne isn't online for one reason or another. So this deadline's set in stone... PERIOD. What Information Does The Coop Need?- When you send me your final versions, I'll need what name you want to use (real or remixer handle) and the name of your remix. Please, come up with something when you send me links to the file, rather than just giving me a file called "ff6-owa-v3f.mp3" and nothing else. You don't have to tell me what song you're remixing, but I do need a name for the remix. What Can Be Remixed?- Any song, really. Traditional Christmas carols, video game music, published music by a signed artist, music from TV/cartoons/anime... whatever gets your heart racing and into that Christmas spirit. This isn't an official OCR album, so you can draw from more sources than just VGM. Plus, you can take a non-Christmas tune, like the Main Theme from Space Harrier, Stage 6 Mission 2 from Metal Head, or I Defend STM from Truxton II, and turn it into a Christmasy one. So know that it's not limited only to songs that are Christmas-like to begin with. All that said, do keep in mind that if you want to submit your song to OCR later, you'll need to keep this site's guidelines in the back of your mind. But for this album, you can take it in just about any direction you want and get as crazy as you'd like (but please, no "Silver Bells" done in farts or something). How Long Can My Song Be?- As long as you want it to be. There are no restrictions on this, so whether it's 1:30, or 9:51 with a five minute guitar solo ala Metallica, it's all good. But again, if you want to submit your song to OCR later, keep their guidelines in mind. What Genres Can I Remix In?- Again, the door's wide open here. Rap, Metal, Pop, Piano-solo, Orchestral, Jazz, 8/16-bit, Barber Shop Quartet, A capella, Death Polka... it's up to you where you want to take it. What Format Should I Submit My Song In?- WAV or an MP3 of at least 192KB/s quality. I'll be tagging the MP3s and making MP3s from any submitted wavs, so you don't have to worry about that. How About A Little Music To Get Us In The Mood?- To help everyone along, here's a YouTube list of Christmasy tunes made by Ocre a number of years ago... https://ocremix.org/community/topic/32727-an-overclocked-christmas-~-now-recruiting/?tab=comments#comment-676914 What's The Website's Address Again?- It's got a new home at... http://williammichael.info/aocc/ This album will still be downloaded there as well, as Dyne will continue to host the albums on his site. How Do We Contact This The Coop Person?- If you've got questions, comments, concerns, want feedback, or your track is done and ready to be sent to me, you can PM me here on OCR, or send me an E-mail at thecoopscorner@gmail.com. Just be sure you remember to include a link to your remix, or attach it to your message. So yeah, there you go. You've got over five months to get something done for the lovely people of OverClocked Remix and the billions of listeners around the world who've become followers of our project. Good luck, have fun and make everyone some Nice Work™! Artists involved thus far... The Coop (director, cover artist and remixer)1 point -

Well, good news regarding my track: I already managed to assemble an awesome team of performers to join! 2 guitarists (for rhythms and leads separately), bassist, drummer, clarinetist, keyboardist... that'll be like a real great band. I got some progress with the video already, which, sure, not a requirement for the album at all haha but I'm doing it more of my own, as a kind of concept thing to better show the ideas. Basically inspired by classic horror movies in general and Nightmare on Elm Street in particular. All is going really well so far and everyone involved has plenty of time, so unless shit happens last minute, I have some good expectations with it. Excited to see what everyone else is cooking as well :)1 point

A Midsummer Night's Dream

This is my fun, and somewhat silly, attempt at summarizing the plot to William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with 8 remix titles. 💘🧚♀️🐴🎭 Even though I mainly picked these remixes by their titles, I feel like the music is also somehow appropriate to the rom-com story and characters, and they are all remixes I like, so hopefully it's a fun listen for others as well.1 point -
Hey all, I wanted to put feelers out for a Halo album since there's not much OCR content for it. Some notes: Timeline/Production - I'm gauging interest now and would plan on formally starting production in January/February 2026. - The plan would be to have it out-the-door right around Halo 3's 20th anniversary date of September 25th, 2007. - For visual assets, I can do a lot of branding and stuff directly. My girlfriend and I team up on art a lot (she illustrates), so we could most likely do key art for it as well. Remix Guidelines - Even though it's Halo 3's release date, sources from all Halo games are allowed. No "original trilogy only", spinoffs permitted, etc. to maximize the number of sources. - Similarly, no restrictions on genre or production style as long as it fits OCR's submission standards. - No tracklisting set in stone. We would just see what gets finished and sequence the tracks by vibes. If needed it could be more than one side/volume/disc. - Related, no "slots", within reason. If 3 people want to all cover Covenant Dance, that's fine, as long as we have more than like 5 tracks. - References to songs other than the source tune, non Halo-tracks, etc. are fine as long as the source is dominant. I have a list of popular/interesting source tunes in my next post, which covers Halo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (Infinite), as well as Wars, ODST, and Reach, which are spinoffs. There's a couple other spinoffs I'm not familiar with, mainly Halo Wars 2. Halo's early soundtracks are somewhat unique because they have a lot of Medieval and World influence despite being military sci-fi shooters. Each game tends to lean into a few genres for flavor - Halo 2 incorporates New Age and Alternative Rock, while ODST is a noir-influenced spinoff set in Kenya, so incorporates a lot more piano and saxophone, pounding tribal drums and basslines, etc. Additionally, if anyone is interested but is unfamiliar with the sources, you can give me some info on your style (or even reference tracks) and I can look for some specific source tunes for you.1 point

Hey all, I wanted to put feelers out for a Metroid Fusion EP/album. I have a more specific tracklisting/direction in mind than the Halo album idea, which is meant to be more franchise-wide. Timeline/Production - I'm gauging interest now and would plan on formally starting production in January/February 2026. - The plan would be to have it out-the-door right around Metroid Fusion's 25th anniversaries; either November 17th, 2027 (US) or February 14th, 2028 (JP). - For visual assets, I can be in charge of it unless someone else wants to be, along with my girlfriend helping with key art illustration. - The album art will probably be split down the middle because of the album theme. Remix Guidelines - This is similar to Double Wing Damage where there's a "traditional" half and an experimental half, however there are no restrictions on genre. Jazzy Sector 1, Breakcore Sector 3, etc. are all fair game. - The "traditional" part is that the first half's arrangements would be dominated by the source tune. Small references to other sources are fine. - The experimental or "Depths" tracks should fuse the Sector tracks with other sources, as only a few "Depths" songs exist in-game, and only one (Sector 4) is exclusive to that area. Tracklisting/Direction: The album would use "slots" and be 13-15 tracks total, with an A-side and a "Depths" side, like how Metroid games have expanded "depths" areas on revisit. Examples include Brinstar Red Soil's area or Phendrana Drifts Depths. Side A 1-1. Intro (I have something in mind for this) 1-2. Sector 1 (SRX) 1-3. Sector 2 (TRO) 1-4. Sector 3 (PYR) 1-5. Sector 4 (AQA) 1-6. Sector 5 (ARC) 1-7. Sector 6 (NOC) 1-8. Optionally there can be an interlude, probably referencing the Restricted Zone. ("Warning: No entry without authorization!") Side B (Depths) Not every Sector has "depths" music, so incorporating other sources is encouraged here. These can be area bosses, adjacent areas, etc. Some examples of non-Fusion Metroid combos could be NOC (a dark area) with VS Dark Samus or ARC (an ice area) with Phendrana Drifts. 2-1. Sector 1 Depths. Related sources: VS Arachnus-X, VS Neo Ridley 2-2. Sector 2 Depths. Related sources: VS Zazabi, Barrier Core-X, VS Nettori / Chozo Statue First Form 2-3. Sector 3 Depths. Related sources: Security Robot B.O.X., Sector 3 Emergency Situation, Crisis Mission 2-4. Sector 4 Depths (Underwater Area). Related sources: VS Serris/Yakuza 2-5. Sector 5 Depths. Related sources: VS Nightmare. (ARC + Nightmare = mix could be named "Cold Sweat"?) 2-6. Sector 6 Depths. Related sources: Security Robot B.O.X. 2-7. We can either end with 2-6 (vibes permitting) or have a dedicated finale/outro track. It would probably involve either Final Mission, Crisis Mission or the Credits theme. Note that the related Fusion sources aren't all-inclusive, and there's a lot of wiggle room. For example the BOX robot and the SA-X fight Samus in multiple sectors, Facing a Huge Reaction plays in like 3-4 sectors, etc. As long as you have a reason for your secondary source it's probably fine, and multiple people having the same secondary source is allowed. If there's interest I was thinking about taking either Sector 2 (TRO), TRO Depths, Sector 6 (NOC), or NOC depths and doing the Dark Samus thing I mentioned above.1 point
-
Yeah, I think NOC or PYR would be a good fit for you. Metroid Prime: Hunters has a unique remix of VS Metroid Prime, and there's a lot of "Dark World" type stuff from Prime 2 that would fit with it being the dark sector. If you want more material for arps/hooks there's Luminoth Energy Controller and Sanctuary Fortress Depths.1 point

@pixelseph Yo, dude, I finally finished the guitar part and the whole remix project. Gave some of my best shots in terms of my momentary composing, instrumental and mixing skills. So I'm really lookin' forward to your critical opinion of a professional guitarist. )) I posted the full version of my remix in the forum "Post Your Game ReMixes!". The remix is called "Crisis Core - Final Fantasy 7 - Wings Of Freedom (Master Mi Remix)".1 point

Hey! No problem! It's not like we all have to always give quick replies at all. As to add my track in the tracklist... that's up to you, if you think it's worth it. Maybe I could help on other things too, like web development/design, which I have more experience in than with music making haha. Or with artworks or anything requiring image or video editing, which I do a lot too even though not a pro on these subjects either.1 point

Hey there! Apologies for the delay -- I have been extremely busy as of late, sorting a lot of stuff in my head and dealing with the auditions for an OCR album that recently had a resurgence. ^_^; I'll get back to this in no time! Thank you! Welcome aboard! :D I'm a big fan of creepy stuff, too. :) It's not too late at all. ♥ But if you have a rough WIP you'd like to send me via PM, I'd love to hear it, especially if it's the Boss Theme from Terranigma inspired by Bloody Mary herself! :P And I didn't know that about Terranigma's anniversary, so that would even be more hype! I'm happy to take it for a spin, and you're welcome to go find people to collab with, for both/either performing something or mixing the track. It might be best to do it via OCR's Discord server and ask around, but I plan on trying to master the tracks myself, so if you can find someone to help you do the mixing, that'd be ace. Would you like me to add your track to the list? ^_^ Sure! That'd be great. You can send me a WIP of it, or the complete version of it that is akin to the one you submitted to the Judges' Panel via PM here. It's OK if you cannot do an unmastered WAV of it, tho -- we can work around that somehow. :) Would you like me to add your track to the list? :D @Troyificus@The Coop@Unknown Pseudoartist -- I did receive your individual PMs, and I will get to them and reply ASAP. Once I get my head above water and see the results for the audition tracks come past the 30th of June, I'll be in a better spot to focus-in on your work. :) TYSM for your patience in the meantime, and sending me the mail!1 point

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY, OC ReMix!
Master Mi reacted to Mak Eightman for a topic
Congratulations! I missed an epochal event( I joined OCR sometime in 2010. It was an unexpected discovery! In fact, I got access to the Internet at the end of 2009 (I live in a village). The first thing I started looking for on the Internet was music.. I came across this place through tindeck when I was looking for something like covers for Contra Hard Corps. And Google gave me an artist like "Death by spoon" (AMT). My search led me here. What I found here blew my mind. I didn't even imagine that such a place was possible. Ironically, at that time I didn't find any CHC remixes on OCR, but I did find Sixto sounds, goat, Snappleman, lvl 99 and many others (sorry if I didn't mention you). I've learned a lot here. I'm thankful to this place and people who helped me in advice and direction(Rozovian is the best BOSS ever!) Of course, I had some complaints. Something I still don't understand here) But I liked this place and I hope to come back to this stream.. Thank YOU OCR PEOPLE!1 point -

This just popped up on this 8Track. I used to listen to this all the time, and 20 years later it's still one of the best on the site. Completely reactivated something in my brain, hearing those opening notes. Wow.1 point -

We removed this entire Review system from the PYGR forum years ago. It was not really used, placed a lot of stress and pressure on a small number of staff members, and just added a second, completely extraneous layer of bureaucracy to OCR's pipeline. Overall we're de-emphasizing tags across the forum. Most people did not use them in any meaningful way.1 point

Cool instrumentation choices. If you can get it sounding more fluid/humanized, the concept has legs. :-)1 point -

I'MMMM THE BEST - Mario Kart 64 Win Result Synthwave
Steele reacted to Ridiculously Garrett for a topic
Mario Kart 64 Winner 2025-06-17 2248.mp3 You guys motivated me to update... Not very polished but here's a rough arrangement. Fleshed it out adding the "secret ending" bit for the second chorus, and an all new straight ahead groove that I want to flesh out the solos to more. A little reminiscent of Luigi's Raceway...1 point -
I'MMMM THE BEST - Mario Kart 64 Win Result Synthwave
Steele reacted to Ridiculously Garrett for a topic
Thanks for the input to both. I am actually making this in 11/4. Use the ride cymbal in introduction (right ear) as a metronome marker. You might notice when you do this, it sounds like the off beat once we reach beat 6. This is because on beat 6, the kick drum (and bass following it) becomes the off beat, syncopating the side chain effect until the top of the next measure. This occurs on every measure. So the original rhythm is (mostly) intact, but when you count it this way, you get interesting syncopation, or off beats... it's all an illusion! But anyways, I will take the sound design and eight note rhythms into consideration. I do believe the kick and bass pattern (and obviously the time signature) is the main culprit for it straying from the traditional synthwave feel. Let me play with it, and most importantly complete the arrangement, and we will see how it sounds then. I appreciate the input.😁 EDIT: and the chords during the melody section follow the syncopation, because I have them bouncing onto the beats that the kick and bass are playing. Maybe I should try placing them on the on beats and see how it sounds... as it stands though it's an even 11 chords through beat 5, and another 11 through beat 11, so it is currently even in the measure, just syncopated because it's an odd measure... interesting dilemma, especially to Steele's point because synthwave isn't typically syncopated like this.1 point -
OCR04854 - Silent Hill 4 "Dreamy Ring Around the Forest"
TheManPF reacted to Eino Keskitalo for a topic
Great song! I really enjoyed and appreciated the duet. I'm not familiar with the original. I did think the song was overcompressed at least to my tastes/ears (the open hihat felt like it "pumped" the mix throughout). But otherwise it was just a solid song and it was fun to hear a really successful vocal duet on OCReMix!1 point -

The O in Of probably shouldn't be capitalized. It looks weird to me, and it's against what wikipedia's referenced style guides recommend. Dealbreaker? No. Bugs me? Yes. eval: The drums are strangely weak. The whole mix is a bit too soft. Not much. Find some remixes from here with a similar sound or style, and compare how loud they are. Try to put yours on roughly the same level. Err on the soft side, but make it louder than it is now. I'm not a fan of the choice of snare sound. It's too short and snappy, and too same-y when it feels like it should be more dynamic. I don't like the guitar sound either. There's a weird tapping sound at 2:30, probably part of the cymbal rise. I don't particularly like the piano-reverb sound. There's a sound probably from the piano's mechanisms that becomes rather prominent on the higher notes, and bleeds into the reverb as well. It might be possible to filter it out of the sound. If it's recorded audio, and includes the room sound, it might be difficult to get rid of it, but you can experiment with eq to try to reduce how prominent it is. The sound choices overall are good imo, but there's those little things that stand out. The arrangement is quite conservative, but the instrument choices are in part different, and the sound and elements like your piano intro set it apart. Can't say if it's sufficient, but I know I've been needlessly critical of this stuff in the past. Tough call. It sounds like a nice arrangement for a real band, and many of its shortcomings are because it's not played by a real band. There's a lack of detail to many of the sound choices and performances that I think a real performer would have done something about. Drums and acoustic guitar in particular. Dulcimer (or whatever) too. Electric guitar is well handled and shouldn't need more work imo. I think it's a mediocre remix. I don't mean that in a bad way. In many ways, it's neither notably good nor notably bad. It'd be nice to hear a higher level of performance (or illusion of performance) here, because I think the arrangement is worth it. Whether it's suited for ocremix is difficult to say. I'd definitely sub this, I'm just not sure how much work I'd put into it before subbing. Definitely raising the levels, looking into the piano eq thing, and trying to get more performance into some of the instruments. Just not sure how much. Nice work.1 point
