Incredible... just... incredible. Also, Sam, that was in 4/4 No, but seriously, amazing video. I would have laughed harder if I wasn't still recovering from illness

Twinrova Theme "Revisited" (Ocarina of Time)
Cyril the Wolf replied to Zorlaxseven's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I agree with Eino, don't apologize! I hope someone takes you up on this (and if I get time and it seems no one cares I may give it a modest shot with my not professional grade samples) But, lets wait, there are people far better than I am with this sort of music. I really like this arrangement too, its hardcore. -
How do you master your remix?
Cyril the Wolf replied to Brian's topic in Music Composition & Production
Personally I don't always turn the master down before doing my duty. The main reason I have for this is becuase some of my tunes are already quite quiet (my acoustic tune that I was doing recently was barely getting above 2 db on some occasions.) On the other hand it works in 99% of cases so I just wanted to add my two cents. I do agree with Tensei-San about doing a sort of A/B test with your crappy speakers and a sub. Personally I think mixing and mastering without a sub (at least part of the time) is ridiculous, becuase I have some fairly high quality headphones and they do NOT have the bass response to help me hear if the low-end is that crowded or not. Similarly, on my headphones I may goose the bass in the mastering EQ but when I listen with a sub it sounds far too boomy. So yea. Also, when I mix I tend to have a Multi-band constantly present on the master, at least after I have most of hte main parts written/recorded. The multi-band stays on the entire time, I only tweak it after I have finished and decided what frequency range needs to be more compressed and stuff. After that I use an EQ on the master track and then put it through a limiter clipper AFTER exporting. The reason I do this is becuase the multiband is good, but it doesn't get the track up to the "commercial" volume (which you really can't get to unless you have at least $1000 in equipment in general anyway, but I just use that as a perceived volume level) so I usually put it through that as a final step, once again always A/B testing it the entire time. That's what I do, and there are certainly differences in the methods, but I've found that mine work, so experiment a little. There is a lot of room for that in the world of home studio tech. -
Motoi Sakuraba. I'm quite familiar with this composer's works, but for some reason he went all out with the Golden Sun games. Oh well, it's definitely good. I'll maybe work on a remix sometime. maybe. Dunno yet.

Kirby 64 - Miracle Matter
Cyril the Wolf replied to PrototypeRaptor's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O okay I'm done. That was hardcore great. Seriously. (the part around 2:40 reminds me of pokemon though) Wow, I really like this mix... a lot. I can't really give any critique becuase this is good enough that it's above my skill level in determining mixing stuff. It does get packed at the end, but I dunno I can hear everything and that's the point. I'd go with a sudden end with that bass drop you hear at the beginning. I think that would be hardcore. EDIT: Okay, listening to it again, I still think its great. I just had to reconcile my awful spellings and sentence fragments. -
The problem with this existing is that now I have an image of OCR in my head that will forever effect what I think of this sight from now on. Not really, but hey! I really enjoyed a lot of the pics and stuff. A neat idea to be sure. And kickass guitar. (3chan is my favorite becuase she plays bass. )

Random - Mega Ran 9 *download now!*
Cyril the Wolf replied to MegaRan's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
you know what, I am totally buying this album. 2 reasons: 1) I need more Mega Ran, becuase the free version of this album is amazing, great flow, story and just general amazing annd 2) I need a few more hip-hop records in my archives. Keep up the good music, becuase god knows that I've listened to splash woman WAY too many times now. -
Underground Fever (Mario Underground)
Cyril the Wolf replied to PrototypeRaptor's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
That flute thing isn't vibrato guys. Its flutter tonguing. I'm not entirely sold on it, but then again, it sounds rather appropriate for this style (much like sax growling in rock music) I like the funkyness, the brass sounds rather synthy, and the other strings... meh. I like everything else though, its really nice. The sound effects too. Mixing wise, I think you've got it. I dunno, the flutter tonguing obviously bothers some folks, but I like it. Mixed bag of opinions. -
I was working on a Lufia 2 track, not this one in particular. not that I'd be averse to remixing it... I just have a lot on my plate right now. What with FFIV stuffs and school. I may as well just jump off a big place.

Super Mario World UNCENSORED!!
Cyril the Wolf replied to Sam Ascher-Weiss's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I became a man, died, reborn, listened to it again, became a man again, died again and came back again as a very, very, very well preserved and cognizant zombie. Then I decided to make a post about how awesome this was. I love SNES sounds too much. The "production" ain't all that bad either. -

Lufia I & II: The World Will Know (symphonic rock)
Cyril the Wolf replied to Nekofrog's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Interesting you should mention For the Savior. Considering I am working on my own remix of it. We'll see how that progresses. http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19725 -

All at once, just to get the idea out there. -
Atop a Singing Mountain (Chrono Trigger)
Cyril the Wolf replied to Cyril the Wolf's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Listen now... I mistakenly put up the wrong one. I dunno if the vocals are any better but. lol -
I like the style. Though I wouldn't consider it semi-heavy 70's prog, probably more like early 70's prog. Because if I were to compare this to Heart of the Sunshine by Yes, this would definitely not be as heavy. This is quite funky, and I like the take you have for it. So hey, nice job! Needs some volume tho. XD Oh yeah, I think this is got great interp, considering it severely deviates from the source. I can hear some Heart influence in that ending. You know the ending needs a bit of work. But hey I like it!

http://cyril.arnoldascher.com/covers/atopasingingmountain2.mp3 Why? Why do I like the soft songs from Chrono Trigger so much? Someday I will finish my currently defunct mix of At the Bottom of Night, but for now, Singing Mountain has caught my ear. Very early wip just some acoustic guitar, strings and bells. Along with the vocals... oh yea the lyrics are thusly: Through all of the ages I feel that I have gone I have not met anyone as beautiful as you And though I know you love me And I believe that I love you I must intervene for the future Even if it takes my life The black wind howls through me as I feel my life slip away But I want you to carry on and Defeat this demon one day... Please don't cry... I know the future is barren And humanity has no hope Technology has turned against them What if there was a chance?? I know you believed in free will and that we had to power to change So keep on with our mission I swear It'll be okay... But atop a singing mountain I saw your face again Tears in your eyes Happiness etched on your face... Your will has given me life All the lives We will save Are worth the centuries In the End We Will be Together once again.. Atop a singing mountain I never thought I'd return But with an egg you hatched potential and now I know of grace I missed you... It's now time to face him To reclaim what is ours our future is not decided by a demon from afar... All this was played live... so yea. Comments on the mix itself, anything that could be added or subtracted, production tips... anything! Thanks! Source Below EDIT: To any one who listened to the first one, its my bad... I accidentally posted the wrong one! HAHA!

pixietricks and I are officially engaged.

Congrats. -
Totally not cool man. You should have at least commented on the WIP itself first! >

the song machine strikes again!!! >:D
Cyril the Wolf replied to HoboKa's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Erm... I use SONAR. So I dunno if I'd be able to help in that way, the only thing I could do is MIDI compose a bassline or compose a bass line and then send you a .wav. (If I'm not mistaken, MIDI would be the best route to go) -
Sonic - Lava Reef Zone Arrangement
Cyril the Wolf replied to WillRock's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Turn down those high hats. I think I like it for the most part... the only comment I may have is that the bass could probably use a bit of a cut at 80 hz and below. Just to keep it from killing the kick drum. Love it other than that. -
Metal of Okkusenman! MEGAMAN
Cyril the Wolf replied to Okkusenman's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Very nice arrangement. The guitar solo was pretty epic too. The bass.... I could recognize some of the eastern style of arrangement. The reason I say that, is because when I listen to certain J-Rock bands they tend to have bass runs that flow up in a particular way. No offense at all, just a stylistic thing I've noticed. I enjoyed.
