    Nights: Journey of Dreams - Dream Gate rmxm

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Posted

    The overly synthetic and static velocity open hihat that happens around :40 through when you start switch between closed and open is a bit grating.

    oooh, good ear. Swapped it out for something that's hopefully less grating. :)

    I also added a bunch more Pogo influence (ie, chopped up orchestral stuff) towards the end,

    and another layer of synth here and there...hopefully it sounds less sparse now.

    I'm a bit worried that the background synth arp action is distracting @ 1:40 - 2:11, but I think it may just be me.

    Besides that, I think this mix is pretty much complete.

    thanks for the comments so far. :D

    This mix mostly fell into place over the course of 48 hours. [/false]

    original:

    you only need to listen to the first minute or so before it starts looping.

    mine:

    (version 8.)

    Submitted!

    breakdown:

    the original has three parts (pretty much yeah):

    0:00 - 0:19 = (part a) three chords

    0:19 - 0:38 = (part B) toybox melody

    0:38 - 0:58 = (part c) keyboard rolls

    my song uses each piece like so:

    0:00 - 0:11 = a (very loosely)

    0:11 - 0:43 = a

    0:43 - 1:14 = b

    1:14 - 1:29 = c

    1:29 - 1:45 = a

    1:45 - 2:15 = a...some more

    2:15 - 2:29 = c

    2:29 - 3:16 = b

    other notes and such:

    My main concern is that everyone will find it repetitive and boring. I was aiming for a chill-out-esque thing...something between Aphex Twin's "Cliff", "Xtal", and [insert anything Pogo has ever created here].

    fun fact: my sister introduced the original song to me AND provided the vocal bits when I said I was going to remix it.

    thing is, back in the day there always was some kind of feedback, even if it just amounted to 'tune sucks' or 'can't come up with any idea'. this however...

    *guilty*

    I entered the previous ORC because I heard the melody of the song and thought: "that would sound perfect with __blank__ and __blank__ changes."

    This round, I listened to the original song and no such ideas came to mind. and so... :\

    Too bad it's so short I'm sure it would've been interesting to see how it developed.

    Yeah, about that: progress on the song was going slow and the deadline was approaching quickly. And so...

    Anyway, I always like feedback on my music, even if it's belated. :)

    Sequencing Sax (...feedback?)

    So, randomly one day....I decided I wanted to attempt to sequence something....for a saxaphone. This happened:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?fazrrndujdn

    I'd like some feedback....in peticular:

    does the sax sound ok?

    does the the flute sound ok?

    are the drums too cluttered?

    does the transition between the flute and the sax flow well enough?

    and....just plain: do you like it? (:

    (also, note: I'm not sure about the hosting....but it seems to work...)

    Question: How do YOU start your remixes?

    in Music Composition & Production

    I start out by lsitening to the song as it was in the game. I also look for other songs that could blend into whatever targeted song I have.

    After that, I grab a midi and use that as a guide to get whatever's floating in my mind out...which is kinda fun because I think abstractly, and have almost no idea what the end result will sound like untill I actually hear it.

    "Hmm...that's not what I was expecting...I like it."
