hahaa oh man! Punch out, I love that game. Kick ass sustain guitar sample you're Using. Cool 80's kinda trumpet too.
It's very creative of you to use PUNCH!! sounds as drum element. Great idea.
Perhaps you could add some elements that could fill out the sound a little better during the main themes, it get's a little thin here and there.
About half way in you've added a nice synth solo part, it's a bit boring... but still good. Perhaps you could have fiddled around a little with the backing. The drumming is good though! It's a bit too much of the same going on. If you'd go from lighter notes then work your way to darker tones, then speed up to lighter tones and let the drums go mayhem it would be awesome!
This is just a suggestion: If you'd stop ALL instruments right after the synth stashing with a heavy delayed punch, then POW start it off with the main themes again, it would have great effect! Perhaps play the main themes on second repeat together with another instrument.. it would add suspense.
Great work!!

Cool how you've made it into a vocal tracks. You wrote the lyrics yourself? If so, nice job. I can hear this is all played in one go, both guitar and vocals right? Sounds very live. The mic quality is not the best. But it's good. You got good rhythm in your playing. Overall good job man! If you plan on submitting it to OCREMIX, you should record every section of the vocals in as perfect pitch as you are able to. It's live sound is very good, but for a recording it's not quite there yet. But I think you'd perfect that fast!
Good job pal!

I am not really a fan of this PUMP THIS PARTY style of music. But my taste will not affect my opinions on this track.
The samples have very high quality, makes it sound slick and pro. Cool use of vocals in the track. The main piano theme's backing drives me a bit crazy. A LOT of repeat going on there. Makes the whole tune fall into a 'trance' of ... what to say, habit? I reached a point where I just had it going on in the background, it didn't keep my attention all the way. Too much looping.
Keep your creations coming! The mixing is very good.

Hi there. First of all, I think you play very good! You got skills. The energy flow is all there. The guitars have a tendency to peak a lot. I would turn down the overall sound of the tune and raise it with mastering software later to avoid a lot of that, perhaps your guitar sound need a bit equalizing. Many even professional bands have the same problem, that's the DARK SIDE of guitar recording, those damned peaks!
You got nice drumming, love the hi-hat 'stashing'. Looking forward to hearing an extended version! Keep it up pal! ROCK ON!!

Well, we like to have our ReMakes released at once. You could say we don't have patience to wait for ocremix. And besides, it's more personal to give it out on a own website.
-
FF VIII - SeeD Mission (The Landing) that won the poll has been added to the site. Also, a Metal Gear Solid 4 track called Laughing Octopus has been reMade. Enjoy guys!
-
Final Fantasy VIII - The Landing has won the poll! We've started working on it and it shouldn't take long until it's finished.
-
Glad you all are enjoying the project! It looks like 'The Landing' is gonna win. Appreciate the participation in the poll.
We've added a new Heavy ReMake from the RPG 'Lost Odyssey', A combination of the tracks: Battlefield & A mighty enemy appears.
You can also find a video for the track on the start page of our website. Again, thanks for all the positive feedback.
Dan & Frank Johansen.
ROCK ON YEAH!!!!

Hi, just posting a ReMix I've done for fun.
A medley between the metal gear main themes and the GEKKO tune from Guns of the Patriots.
Also added some 'narrative' based stuff in metal-gear-style to add to a deeper mood.
A mix of symphony, synths and metal.
Enjoy!

So are there any red lines to follow?.. or can remixes be of any style?..
-
Am I the only one that haven't complained AT ALL in this thread?..
I say take your time guys.. excellent work needs time sometimes..
Ill be here when its released..
cheers..And I think the website should be up at the same time as the music is released, not after, it would feel like everything is in pieces.. so I stand by that decition..

The lyrics are in japanese and the translation (or the original english ones) will be released along with the track. If you think this sounds already good, then wait till the final version (cause I'm still working on it, among with other tracks).
And be happy that you don't hear me shouting to keep quiet, even though I could record that. heh.
wow.. so we have Vocalists in here that can sing in Japanese?.. thats amazing and very interesting as Im thinking of composing a J-Pop/Fantasy song.
Anyways, this track really sounds promising, It sounded very nice.. and Im sure it will be a great release!
-
Now that I've started playing through CT again, I've started to anticipate this project more and more.
DAMMIT COMPY STOP MAKING ME ANTICIPATE
Every day i come check this thread out in hopes of it saying "THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED!!!" but..alas...no luck yet.. Still waiting though!
Same here..
-
Not that this hasn't been discussed, but with the immediate purpose in mind:
I have to to say, I think Nobuo's compositions are somewhat underappreciated. Before I realized who wrote which songs, I named Silent Light and Tyrann Castle my two favorite songs of the game (both by Nobuo). As far as I can tell, neither of those were selected for the project, but I don't blame y'all. They aren't very popular.
Well, I wouldn't call it unappreciated..
Although those tunes are indeed good ones, Tyrano Castle has some silimar parts and moods as Kuja's Themes in FF IX.. Its not DEADLY alike on every level though, just similarities, the start is especially alike
-
Im extremely excited to see what Compyfox manage to do with the mastering on this project!..
I never heard anything about him until this project, so I have no idea of what he will come forth with.. Can't wait..
-
Lunar, nice WIP! The percussion is pretty cool. The snare really is way too dry though!^^
haha indeed!.. the drums arent mixed at all, and I havent really mixed anything, since its just a short demo.. I just started on the tune..
Glad you like it though
-
Hey, heres a short demo on "Sheena Theme" that I recently began to ReMix and that I may Finish as a Remix for this project..
-
Is the Track List locked or may a few more tunes be added to the list?..
I have a tune remixed thats not on the list that kinda Chain the titles together in a more spesific way as its the ending tunes of both games..
Final Fantasy History By Dual Dragons - Release!!!
