  1. djp does it yet again with another masterpiece creation - this is one of my favourite mixes from him, and with good reason too. I think he captures the feel of F-Zero, hi tech in fast cars, very well, and though I just can't seem to describe this song in words, it's best for you all to experience this yourselves. It's worth the download, and then some.

    For some reason my Sony headphones bring the song to a whole new 3D dimension too - if you have headphones might I suggest you use them for this piece.

    My only gripe is somewhere in the middle some random sound (I'm assuming it's from in-game but I haven't played F-Zero for a long time) plays quite loudly, but it quickly goes back to the theme. That part might have been done maybe not so rashly, but it detracts little from the overall quality of this mix.

    Great work - keep it coming. ^^

  2. If you scroll back a few pages I believe there should be a tempo-change walkthrough...well at least I recall a debate about it anyway.

    C_Kick is fine but you'll probably want to use something special. I don't know, try distorting it or something. Creativity = Good thing.

    SFArk is a compressed soundfont. You'll need to get the program to unpack it, though I can't remember where I got mine from.

  3. I use nothing but fruity loops, Sibelius and the internet to make my remixes (although none have really been accepted yet ^^").

    Triplets, you can either set them manually with the note lengths (although it's a pain), or you can import a midi file with them written out. What I do if a part is too complex for me to be bothered to construct it in Fruity Loops is write it in Sibelius, save it as a midi file and then import it.

    It's up to you, really. Find your own way. (I'm sure there are easier ways of making triplets, I just don't know. :P )

  4. To do something like this on one take is very amazing. Good solid piano work here and fans of Chrono Trigger music will enjoy this. Although I didn't like this as much as gutzalpus's Time's Scar piano rendition this comes a close second.

    There are however a few problems - it sounds like his piano needs tuning (or perhaps it is just my ear), and there are minor glitches in the piece. I feel that if he had perhaps sat down and written it out and worked it out, it might have taken this piece to a new level. BUT having said that, I have to state again that to do something at this level on one take is incredible.

    Good work!

  5. YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THIS. If you like Time's Scar, get it. If you like piano, get it. What am I saying, get it anyway! This is one of the BEST remixes I have ever heard, from the sheer beauty of the arrangement and the emotive playing. Very well done to gutzapulus. Think Fantasy Reborn, only better.

    This song brings tears to my eyes. It's that good.

  6. Another crazy question - thanks for all the great help so far, but I'm a long way from being remotely good at Fruity Loops.

    Okay, next question/problem - Midi doesn't work properly. You know those little orange lights that are supposed to light up to signify the beat? They don't light up properly, they kind of jump...I can't describe it but suffice to say that it doesn't work very well. As a result the rhythms in Midi are never the same as what I put in to Fruity Loops.

    Anyone have a solution for this?
