    OCR00361 - Mega Man 8 "Frosty Delight"

    in ReMix Reviews & Comments

    Posted

    Curse you, DJChAko, for allowing me to listen to this before playing Mega Man 8! Now the OST's bassline sounds out of place! :-x

    if i re did this it would be utterly awesome

    You should definitely do that!

    I really like the "Chill out" vibe this mix gives off, even though I don't really like the "chill out" genre in general (Groove Armada - At the River).

    If this is what you could've produced then... what, pray thee, can you do now?

    Composing Music that Already Exists

    Whoa :shock:

    Glad I'm not the only one.

    If you think that's bad enough, listen 8 seconds into the remix here:

    http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00869/ (listen for low choir-aahs/strings)

    & then listen 7 seconds into another track I made for the same RPG project:

    http://www.box.net/files#/files/0/f/0/1/f_424116320

    Just wondering, is that part of the remix or was it actually in the game? (If you were able to hear it.)

    I swear, I only experienced Tomb Raider once, & I don't remember if it was the first or the second one (this was 10 years ago!).

    Yeah, I hate it when people just sit there at the machine; I'll go somewhere else - do three sets then come back & they're still just sitting there. And then I go & do 3 more sets of something else, & I come back - & they're still freakin' just sitting. I've got my MP3 playing

    . So I'm going insane & I just want to f'n kick them, & say FU & have it all go away!:shock:

    I'm done ranting.

    Working out for me is no problem - it's a habit now; I go almost once every two days (if I don't go to the gym once in a while I'll go nuts 8-O) & I go alone & bring my Zen.

    As for next year; I plan to kick major ass in everything I do, just like I do now - but more! :twisted: Where's the strikethrough button? :dstrbd: I mean go to the gym just as much as I do now.

    By the way, 2010 will rock! (I figure if I keep saying it, it will come true)

    Metal Gear Metal: Arrangement Album

    Awesome! Jabond23, I think you'd be a good candidate to arrange Theme of Tara. I think I'd like it to sound synthesized at first, like the Zelda dungeon theme in your vid, then start turning into rock music.

    I'll upload the files & details tomorrow.

    Edit: Okay, technically it's 23 min past "tomorrow," but I still have 30 if you live in Alaska. :P

    Okay, back in business! I'm going to try getting the ball rolling on this one last time.

    Not much has changed:

    -still canned the competition

    -will include both NES/MSX versions of the game

    -Hard Rock/Metal/Orchestra arrangements

    -will include virtually all the music from the game

    -it WILL be an album project (free of course)

    -to spark interest, I will be offering a stipend to submissions that make it onto the album (I will post the song track/price list)

    Rate/Rape My MIDIs

    in Post Your Original Music!

    Posted

    Okay, I've sequenced a bunch of MIDIs over the years, some of them for games, some for other people ('s games) & some just for the hell of it.

    I'd like some input on some of these (keep in mind I'm not a musical major; I can't even read music):

    One of my earliest, done in '03. Actually an arrangement: someone gave me a MIDI with some notes in it, & this is what I did to it:

    http://www.geocities.com/jedi_questmaster/SexyHand.mid

    I forgot how this came about. But I submitted it to someone for a Tetris-like puzzle game:

    http://www.geocities.com/jedi_questmaster/Athena.mid

    A game I canceled in '04. One of the better themes, in my opinion:

    Same game, different stage:

    One of my more recent ones, done in '05. Opening theme credits:

    Some of you may remember my first thread about this several months ago here:

    http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15552

    It's a metal/rock arrangement project of the Metal Gear music.

    I still want to get this project started. A little bit has changed now. I'm canning the competition idea. It will be just a straight up collaboration project - I think it would be less stressful for everyone & hopefully result in better quality work.

    I want to include both NES & MSX versions of the game, & include most (if not all songs from the game).

    I've compiled a list of remixers (& non-remixers) who I'd be interested to have in the project who I'll be contacting soon.

    Who would be interested?

    It's not competing against their CD. That CD went out of print in 1992 (print runs customarily last 2 years). I'm not saying that makes it OK, but there's no direct competition in the first-hand market.

    Okay, maybe not that one... but who's to say Konami won't release another album like this one:

    http://vgmdb.net/album/276

    I'm just saying that releasing an arrangement/cover of a video game album may not necessarily conflict with a game's sales, but it could be viewed as a deterrence on the sales of a game's OST (I know it's not a very strong argument unless the game's OST really sucks). :/

    At the same time, though, I wonder if there's any reason why the original composers would care about this sort of thing. A video game music band isn't competing with their product. Nobody buying our CD would then decide not to buy Gradius III or whatever because they have the whole experience right there in their

    If there's an OST CD of Gradius III, which there is, there would be good reason to care - it's competing against their CD. :P

    Okay, so holy shit.

    I made a serious breakthrough today, like none I've ever had before.

    Today I completely accepted the fact that I have to change my life or I'm just going to waste away to nothing and never do a damn thing with my life.

    Today I worked past the pain that I get in my left shin when I run. I worked past it to the point that it didn't hurt anymore.

    Today, I walked/ran for two hours today, wandering the neighborhood and jogging when I could.. It wouldn't be a whole lot for others, but it was a helluva lot for me. I haven't had a workout like this for a few years, and I feel incredible.

    I am joining the air force in just under six months. Quote me on this.

    Be sure to stretch out after the run - very important. <- bold + underlined for emphasis

    Oh, & :nicework:!

    Watching the Biggest Loser, I never would have realized TWENTY chicken nuggets (fried, fast food style + BBQ sauce) is actually healthier than a wheat-wrap Fajita.
    This sounds completely false.

    Define "healthier."
