The mix has evolved so much this almost warrants a new topic. Any advice?
-
Not based on the pictures you've chosen, but I definitely see it in the google image results.
He's like Harmony is to Liontamer.
-
If you're confident enough with your mix just sub it. While it might sound like a horrible thing to get no'd you'll leave with way more constructive feedback than this topic is going to get you.
Sure, you'll have to wait, but if you want the judges opinion put it in front of the judges.
-
yes, some of the clips of the original music is actually on Youtube, but really... I remember playing the game and thinking "damn this Diamond Dust thing makes me think someone just took one of the mistranscribed midis off vgmusic and took out everything but the lead)
It still astonishes me that that actually was the case
-
Not to throw in an inappropriate plug, however this track was used in the release of Christmas Chaos, which you could find here.

Also Darkesword this track is awesome, from the "oh god not another icecap remix" misconception to the epicness of the track itself.
-
vocals are back, DnB infusion, etc. Sure I like what I hear right now, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if I'm starting to overwork this piece instead of just finish it. XD
-
Since it's industrial you should try and come up with a clever pun to work in the construction aspect of warcraft into it.
"Need more lumber!"

I'm not exactly sure what hardware produces this sound, but it seems to get used an awful lot in contemporary jazz material. I'm not even sure if it's technically an organ haha. I apologize if this thread ends up being really retarded, I'm just trying to look for a good software solution for this sound.
It's a very mellow, round sound and is usually used as a smooth rhythm accompaniment with a very melody driven bass, however makes for a really beautiful sounding solo instrument.

It's in the background during the verses and becomes more prevailant later in the song. -
Hey guys, my friend finally sent me a rough draft of the guitar overdub for this.
http://www.tindeck.com/audio/filestore/x/xjlt-waterworld.mp3
Not too much has changed, but things are really starting to shape up.
-
All I have to say is
Neko. (Are you and Sixto have a cockfight with this?) -
Oh sweet, I remember seeing this more than a year ago. This thing is really coming together haha.
If anyone needs vocals recorded I may be able to assist.
Some of my stuff:
http://www.tindeck.com/audio/filestore/c/cwws-Vain_33.mp3
http://www.tindeck.com/audio/filestore/h/hgwx-splashwoman11.mp3 (Vocals are jibberish first take on this one. HAHA)
http://www.tindeck.com/audio/filestore/b/brap-tweakerishurt.mp3
http://www.tindeck.com/audio/filestore/g/gfuf-lovesong.mp3 (Crappy Cover haha. This was made a LONG time ago, I've improved since then.)
-
This is quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever heard. Haha
Perhaps I've just really wanted to hear someone to remix something from Warcraft 2. (I saw it on the frontpaged and was like OHHH YEAHHHHHH)
I can't wait to see where this goes.
It'd be nice to hear the melodies develop a bit more, because right now, while the effect is satisfying, it's like "phat beat", source, "more phat beat", source.
Maybe do a bit more with the phat beat sections melodically to keep the tension level up. (I don't know though.)
-
I like it - it's catchy and assertive.
Like the poster above me (or below me...?) said, the piano is begging for some reverb. Also, I think that really fierce beat is just a little TOO hard-hitting... it makes me think of the 80's for some reason. Anyway, if it were up to me, I'd make it a tiny bit less, er, "listen to me instead of the rest of the mix or I'll punch you in the tooth!". For lack of better wording.
Now, I think the song is good at keeping new things in the mix, but you can only get so many minutes out of so many instruments. Therefore, I really think you oughta try shortening it up a little bit - even if it is just a LITTLE bit, keeping things moving will keep the listener from feeling it's repetitive. I was feeling that the mix was getting repetitive at 2:00 and 2:45, and both of these situations could have been avoided if you had just brought the next section up a few measures sooner.
Other than that, it's great. I loved the power the last go-round's synth, and I truly think the track has potential. If you just shortened it up a bit, its repetition would help it (getting it stuck in the listener's head later on) without hurting it (getting tiresome). Keep at it! :]
haha, I thinks that probably because the mix dies at 2:00. It's sortof where I quit working on it save for the piano segment. I need to do some work to keep up the energy there and climax it without it getting too repetitive.
The vocals might help.

I worked on the mixing. No vocals in this version. The guitar about to be dubbed. Can anyone give me some advice on maybe how I could vary the sound up a bit more and get the balancing right, because it still feels off.
I apologize the song kindof breaks apart halfway through. (It's moreso random idea I want to implement)
-
True Symphonic Orchestra? I've heard of them, mainly because James LaBrie is in it
I've been meaning to check them out.In response to what I said earliet, here's something with emotional musical qualities.
It's a shame James Labrie sucks balls at singing haha. Coincidently, Dream Theater drives me to tears with their amazingness. XD
Seriousness though, I had this one experience that, while not tear producing, puts me into a strange set of consciousness. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it was like midnight on the bow of a cruise ship. I had a full view of the ocean, with the moon shining down eerily on the horizon.
Alice In Chains was the band, the effect was encapsulating. It was an almost supernatural experience haha.

The Xenogears soundtrack also had some songs in the playlist...
June Mermaid
Good god even listening to these songs now I want to tear up.
-
I was worried at first with the chip tune effects, thinking that was the whole mix (that said the way you wrote the piano creates a really nice flow), but then the blazing guitars kicked in and all I could do was get this huge grin on my face.
I'm really liking it so far!
-
I absolutely love the intentional low-fi sounds.
I think once the vocals are on this (are you going for something daft punk-like? Because thats the vibe the song gives me), you are going to have a pretty submission-worthy track.
-
Does OCR not have a forum for trying to start collabs? I was considering using the ReQuest board but wasn't sure if it was out of the boards jurisdiction, given that I am moreso offering a "service" than requesting one.
Basically I want to be seen as an option for vocalists in a collab scenario.
-
Rozo: Overdoing autotune is "in" right now though, just listen to Lil Wayne.
By layers, you mean like adding more instruments? I was kindof going for a laid back, minimal style, because in the past I always end up having way too much crap going on at one time. What do you think I should add to thicken the sound up a bit. (I actually just fixed it a bit, the bassline for whatever reason decided to disappear once the rhythm came in haha.)
Regarding lyrics, maybe I didn't state it well enough here, but there aren't lyrics haha. There isn't anything decipherable because I'm really just mumbling the first word, syllable or random line that comes to mind. It helps me get a vocal line down and then I can go in and modify whatever jibberish I said into something meaningful, the same way you would go about changing the lyrics to a commercial song when you want to make a parody.
-
Splash Woman's theme is Bland as it is.
Try Jewel Man instead
haha, you know, I actually want to do Jewel Man's song next. It's laid out perfectly for a vocal track.
-
You sound like you're in a boy band.
Oh no...
I wasn't trying to.

Pretty up to date version, we rewrote everything, rerecorded, slowed it down, etc.

I dunno, I just got this idea like two days ago, imagining what Splash Woman would sound like if it was hiphopped out. It's still pretty early, and I plan to get a friend to overdub the acoustic guitar, but look, a Megaman 9 remix even though MM9 has only been around for maybe a day?
Don't mind the vocals, they are also placeholder until I export to Sonar. What I do when I draft vocals is overdub a track in FL Studio's very limited audio recording tools and mumble jibberish.

haha, it would be awesome to use it in a live rig. Good grief, the raw power.

As you may have known SAGE has been going on for the past week at http://www.sagexpo.org/ (I'm running it). Besides possibly the best game (demo) lineup we've had, there have been so many events and special guests I have to make a list:
-Eric Iwasaki (A veteran developer from Naughty Dog. Worked on shaders and stuff.)
-Chris Senn (You guys should know who this is)
-Richard Wheeler (Worked on Sonic Xtreme)
-Lee Brotherton (Dreams of an Absolution, EGGMAN Remix, Sonic Rivals soundtrack, etc)
-Richard Jacques (We did an audio interview of this guy, composed Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic R, Mass Effect, Head Hunter, SEGA Superstars Tennis, some songs for Jet Set Radio, a mix of Dreams Dreams on the new NiGHTs game, and most recently music for Sonic Chronicles.)
-Mike Pollock (We held a trivia gameshow over the SAGEcasts with him acting out in character while the winners of our trivia challenged him, it was freaking fun.)
-Ryan Drummond
You can get transcripts and times via the SAGE site.
Saxman finally released ProSonic, Stealth released a new build of E02. Tons of fangames to check out as well.
Basically, Howard Drossin will be appearing in the channel Friday night at 12EDT. This will be an excellent opportunity for you guys to get off all those deep dark questions about possible Michael Jackson involvement in Sonic 3, or his possible work on a soundtrack for Sonic Xtreme. Jun Senoue is also theoretically stopping by Friday to say hi.
You can get there by our IRC channel:

Mega Man 9 'Splash Woman'
in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Posted
Oh, there are vocals, I'm just not sure I'm at the inclination to show the other half of the track. This was mixed with Random's Splash Woman track as a bonus track on his Megaran 9 album. I'm not exactly satisfied with the track as is though, so I'm trying to clean the track up some more and submit it to OCR.
