ShinnyMetal

yeah that looks great! perfect!~

I thought so..but I knew it sounded like it....man I want one real bad

highly intriguing.......This is congruent with my interest.... ....please continue...

well first off that's an electric piano, not synth. Sounds kinda rhodes-y to me . lots of keyboards include electric piano

please do. If you'd be interested we could use you for drums if anyone needs them!

You've got a point. Problem is I haven't drawn in years. Worth a shot though.

That's something to mull over. I've been bouncing around a few idea's in my head. It really all depends on the direction of the album and reather or not it's going to be story-esque or not. I'll let ya know if I need any help with art though! If I needed something soon it would be a signature that didn't suck..... Well you play drums right? can you do good recordings of drums? Do you have the means to record them?

happy birthday n shit! Though I don't know you....who cares. it's a birthday woooooooo I got you a reply to this thread for your birthday! I know. It was very thoughtful of me. don't spend it all in one place!

this thread is intriguing. would love to conrtibute. but I can't draw females very well. ha

ah ok, this makes sense now!~

Imma try and listen in every week. this was really awesome and OOH OOH! I love the Protomen! and I LOVE THAT SONG! ~owns the light of the night t-shirt and uses it as his ringttne~

interesting. both that it exist and that you found it even though it doesn't even credit the song at all

I love the groove this song has! and just before it gets a bit overbearing that soft pad comes in to clear the air and add some ambiance and mood. This track is slick!

Haha you beat me to talking about midines. I think that midines might be a bit over priced just because there is NOTHING else like it until now. Or maybe the Chip Maestro will actually be the same price-ish but just a special "help me get it done" deal right now. It sounds like a pretty awesome deal and I kind of want to go ahead and do the $50 pledge. I've been wanting midines but can't afford $110 for something like that right now. I personally wouldn't know the first thing to do on the dev kit so I don't need that.

game cubes and PS2's are pretty cheap at least if ya really wanted to play! P:

this is a neat arrangement. my first thought is that the kind of expanding bass you're using is kind of distracting form the melody at it's current level. I really feel like it could fall back into the mix a bit. My preference would be to put in a punchier bass instead but I also can understand why you selected it. Another thing is the song feels kind of dry. the piano when it gets busier doesn't feel like it has much presence to me. I think there is some reverb on it but making it a bit wetter would really benefit that sound in particular. Some ofthe other sounds feel like there is none on it when it should. I really like it though otherwise. great job man!

Didn't even finish the song and I've already downloaded this soundfont. I have to say it's the best free orchestral sound I've heard. The horn is harsh but some creative use with eq might help to smooth it out. The piece is really nice, I really like the middle section, very movie-esque.

something about this makes me reminisce the early days of PlayStation rpgs. Quite enjoyable man. Also, I agree, that bass needs a bit moar oomph! I really like the heavy organ part that comes in too. it's unexpected but also fitting

this track is tight! I'm really digging it yo!

I've still been kicking myself for not playing this yet. I really want to.

I'm going to be completely honest...I'd rather do what you guys are saying. Some people said they'd rather have a best of so that's what I did and personally...I could just do breath of fire one's OST and be content. The one thing I'm going to be disappointed about is not having the Main Theme of BoF IV but if this continues I'll have a chance to do it xP. I'm going to do some more hunting and revisions on this because that all makes sense. I guess I should say in the jRPG genre. I honestly hardly think of Monster Hunter in the traditional RPG sense. I'll be clearer. And I'm going to go play the games I haven't played. I've been wanting to so bad but just keep forgetting so limiting myself to 2 games will help me do that much easier (lol).

Official Project Thread

Hey guys and gals! I'm not sure if you have ever heard or played Breath of Fire. It's Capcom's most successful traditional rpg to date but doesn't mean it's extremely well known. For me, the Breath of Fire series was my break into the rpg genre and still is one of my favorites, due to nostalgia and also to how unique it is. What I am aiming to do is to bring to light the wonderful themes that are present throughout the series. There are some unpolished masterpieces in each installment waiting to be heard to it's fullest potential! To start off I want to cover the first 2 games of the series. Before I was trying to take on every game and was struggling to find only a handful of tracks from each game because they all are really good. Thanks go to Xenon Odyssey and Dj Mokram for getting me a bit for focused. If this project gets a lot of attention and goes through to OCR then I can start to focus on Breath of Fire III-IV Genre/style I really want to see how people will interpret each theme and watch it transform so I don't want to make a general style. I'm greatly interested in hearing how this album could flesh out. However I am firm on this telling a story! Instead of every track being meticulously picked planned to be in a certain order I decided that there will be a handful of important tracks that will be the cornerstones of to the story, which I'll indicate with italics. I would like those to be a particular style. I will make notes next to each of those tracks and also place them where they need to go. My vision is to see this story expand to the next 2 games of the series and I think it could be pretty awesome. I am very open to discussion concerning the way the story unfolds. So post in here if you have any ideas on the story direction! (I may also have to maybe tweak breath of fire II's story once I finish the game.) UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE Hey guys! I took out the idea of having an overarching "theme" because it just seemed to be kind of a stretch and especially since I took it from the 4th game. though I think it was a good idea, it doesn't work in the context. I'm going to start talking to a lot of people try to get more interest in this, though, I am very pleased with the 1000+ views this has garnered so that's good news, right? Also I want to point of that OLRemix's monthly competition, OLRmegeddon, is using "Breath of Fire" as this months theme. You can read all the details here: OLRmegeddon L - July 2011 So it's a great way to just dick around and get familiar with your track! definitely take a look gais! OLRemix is a great site and needs more attention anyway because I love what it stands for! So do it for the lulz! BIG BIG BIG BIG NEWS And also! I'm going to make Sep. 10th the first WIP date! It's time to have one and it is kind of far out to leave wiggle room for more people to join and not feel overwhelmed! GET TO IT! Tracks I grabbed all my favorites from each game and threw them in a list! Just because they are my favorite doesn't mean they are your favorite so you can always talk to me about songs you'd like to have included and songs that end up gaining no interest will be considered for being removed. Here's what I have come up with and of cours...youtube links! Breath of Fire I -Blood Relation (This one needs to start of orchestral and kind of dark but then can go anywhere the remixer decides.) + ~ShinnyMetal - (orchestral and gallant. I can't think of it any other way. maybe a bit of fusion) -Battle 1 -Battle 2 -Inside a House -Happy Town~Amphibious - - (perhaps rock or orchestral...maybe rock/orchestral fusion.) - - ~Dj Mokram - - - - - (Just not electronic. could be a song..could be orchestral or rock. just needs to sound like the closing of a chapter)Breath of Fire II - (orchestral! this is a great opening to this chapter, where religion is a huge focus in the game! perhaps you could incorporate ) -Our Journey (orchestral...a lot of these are orchestral...) -Dying Corpse +More Than Words ~Tuberz McGee +I’ll Do It! ~Gario -Twisted Bridge -You Must Live (orchestral, a song, piano solo, acoustic guitar solo, something somber.) -The Flower - - - - - - -Closing of the Dragon’s Eye at the End of the Story (just need to be epic and grandiose. Maybe this one could be a collab?) Recruitment/Other Info Alright! If you're interested in participating send me a PM with your track choice and a recent composition of yours and I'll let you know what I think! Also I may need to get someone to help out with art and webpage stuffs. I can draw but coloring isn't my forte and I'm also not the best artist anyway so if you think you can help in either of those departments throw me a PM about that also! Here's a temp. Sig. We'll get one of better quality in the future. take out the *: [*url=http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34989][*img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/ShinnyMetal/BoFprojectsig1.jpg Thank you so much for your time -Brian Crawford

Mega Man Legends was really tight, but for me the most underrated game (kind of series) is Breath of Fire. Some pretty unique story idea's during it's time. The wasn't a whole lot of soundtracks that sounded like this one at all. It's really cool and catchy but suffers from low quality midi. The graphics also suffered a little but the over all style was really neat... ...I kind of have a theme going here. haha.

got it, the track is "I'll Do It!" and I got you put down for it!
