that'd be cool.. hit me up if ya want me geetawrs! Not meaning to overload you in collab requests, but your name has been mentioned a few times in the thread to the Gary Oak remix, and I've been thinking in doing it in a fast upbeat boogie/rock'n roll style (even though Tallest, the guy I'm collabing with on it, probably hasn't heard my version of it yet). It would be cool if it could be done in the style of Joe Satriani (if that name doesn't ring any bells, download his 'satch boogie', it should give you a good idea for what I'm aiming at ), and since you're so proficient at playing guitar (probably more than me ), I'd love to have you playing (at least some of) the lead guitar for it. gah, here I go again with the long posts..

uhhhh do you mean the TMF gameplay?? I haven't been there, I thought it would suck because of all the sweaty nerds, I didn't know they were having a Game Music concert though.. Oh by the way, tallest, I've left you some feedback, and a small arrangement ( my interpretation of the Gary Oak piece) in the WIP forums
-
Haha whistling you say? Okay, now I'm really curious about your WIP, please post as soon as you have the time
-
Actually, could provide electric guitar for my Garry Oak mix? That would be brilliant. >_> h-hey! who were you collabing with again?!it's alright though, as long as you let me do at least some parts of it..two guitars is always better than one Oh and if you're already recruiting guitarists for it, why not come up with a WIP? Finally made an update by the way, check it out at the forum The organ totally kicks ass IMHO
-
Well I think I've got some new ideas for my sephiroth arrangement by taking a few days off, so I'll get to work as soon as possible. Anyway, about the King Dedede mix, I'd love to do it. I finally got my hands on the Garritan Jazz & Big Band sample library, and I think King Dedede's theme would be perfect for a fast, hectic jazz piece (nothing mellow, mind you), even though I understand that would be bending the rule restrictions a bit
-
OMG I SECOND THAT!! put that on instead of the FFVIII I suggested
-
ooh boy, suggestions, here I go 1. Griever-Ultimecia - Final Fantasy VIII (specifically referring to the song 'Maybe I'm a Lion', it totally kicks ass ) 2. Odio - Live-a-Live (a totally overlooked Squeenix SNES RPG, pretty amazing source tunes, finally found the OST, please check it out, or better yet; play the game! ) 3. Dhaos - Tales of Phantasia (pretty obvious; great game, amazing soundtrack )

Uhhh..... Well, we could use our own Tensei-San (he has been playing for ages according to the Xenogears Project thread), but then theres also LuIzA and Sixto, their stuff is pretty impressive. Is this for the Gary Oak song? Or are you planning on using this for something else? Dizzy's theme from Guilty Gear X would sound pretty awesome like this (Not that her theme is in the project, yet, but her theme did rule, and she was the final boss in Guilty Gear X, and youve already said something about maybe replacing a few of the boss themes, so, you know....) And sorry for the double post. I'm just soooo lazy today. While it is true I have been playing for almost nine years, I would want to point out that my guitar setup/recording chain suxx donkey balls, and thus, my humble skills on guitar are compromised by stupid external noise and a high latency. Even though I've bought an M-Audio Fasttrack, it turned out to total crap due to the lack of specific ASIO-drivers for it, and now I've even had to disconnect it due to the hardware conflicts it gave me, so it's just sitting on my desk. To sum it up, I'm not THAT good, I'm sure there are loads of better guitar players here (LuIzA is definitely one of them)
-
Baby Bowser should totally be one of them. I totally agree ^^
-
umm wasn't kirby taken? If not, I'd like to sign up for it! The source tune is, compared to Sephiroth's theme, extremely easy to adapt, and it would be cool if I could alternate between two recordings, since Sephiroth is being a bitch to arrange (having sort of a writer's/composer's block now ). So I could, figuratively speaking, blow off some steam by remixing a much easier track. Of course I don't mean the remix would be any worse compared to sephiroth, it's just that it would be less ambitious.

This Image As well as Wikipedia think you're wrong anyway I don't want to turn this into an argument, I figure the way you said will be the easiest way to simulate a double bassdrum. -
maybe try http://media.putfile.com , it won't let listeners download the file, but I don't think that's necessary at this point yet.
-
You can post your WIP here I guess. Good to see that even the people that don't post frequently are working hard, I'm looking forward to hearing your WIP Oh and the art looks definitely good, I can totally picture Sephiroth headbanging with hair like that Looking forward to seeing more detailed sketches. It would actually be pretty funny to see Sephiroth wearing tight leather pants, so maybe that's an idea you can incorporate to give him the true Heavy Metal look

Well I have it (not on emulator mind you, good old N64 is the way to go! ), and In My Very Humble Opinion Majora's Mask was a BIT inferior compared to Ocarina Of Time. Yes, Majora was extremely cool, with all the transforming and time travel, but there's definitely a reason Ocarina Of Time at one point was elected best 3d game ever. I didn't for example like the fact Majora's mask only contained 4 bosses (5 counting the final one), compared to the 8 (or how much were there?) in OoT. Anyway, the blackness you were talking about, I get that with all the zelda games, that's a natural reaction of a human being playing a zelda game

i just play it faster. maybe you don't really know what double bass is - it's just two beaters striking the same drum. maybe make the second stroke of each two-group slightly lower in velocity, but i usually just do the rhythm and don't really change anything. you don't even need two samples. just do the right rhythm on the kickdrum sample and you'll be fine. because of the nature of a normal double-bass setup, there's no real difference in each strike at all. Well I do know that usually it's two beaters and one drum, but I thought generally bands who have the money for it really use 2 bass-drums, rather than one with 2 pedals, but I suppose you're right -
In an ideal world I would have the exact same latin chorals as the original, except each time they would sing "Sephiroth" it'd be replaced by "Mama's Boy" It even has exactly the same amount of syllables

What would be the best procedure to simulate a double bass-drum, as used in metal songs? I'm guessing loading up 2 slightly different bass drum samples, panning them both really slightly to either side, and set the rhythm so they alternate each other, should work, but I might be wrong. Has anyone ever done something similar in reason before? -
hm, that would make something along the lines of " Requiem pro pueri matris" although my latin is a bit rusty after three years so I'm not completely sure Sounds pretty cool though
-
Oh I just had an idea! maybe I should call my track something along the lines of 'Mama's Boy', in response to this thread, or do you guys thinks thats kinda lame?
-
ah geez, I just remembered that Big Bad Baby Bowser from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island would have made one hell of a remix. I could totally picture that with dual wailing guitars, rapid slap bass, a cool hammond organ, and high speed drums. Maybe it's a good idea for volume 2
-
well I could go through all the trouble of 'dressing up' the bit I've got right now in Reason and stuff, but the main instruments, namely the guitars, won't sound any better than in midi, so I guess I should just save myself the trouble. It's not really an official WIP yet, more like a small illustration of the idea I've been having for this mix. Well, If thats so, just post it. Posted, gimme some feedback, guys!

Could I collabarate with you on this? My hands are pretty full as well (Andross's theme was a bitch until quite recently - I had to work out all the notes myself), But I think I know what I could to do to make a kick ass backing track out of this, and then combined with your live guitar playing, it would just be all kinds of awesome Well, if you have the inspiration, go for it! I dont really have the time to come up with a full arrangement right now, but I'd be glad to help you make the guitar track, as well as performing it On a completely unrelated note; I've taken a rather 'experimental' path with my sephiroth remix (lots of dissonance, polyrhythms and stuff), so would it be alright if I posted a midi to kind of demonstrate the general idea, just to make sure it isn't a bit 'too much'? If so, where should I post it?
-
Well I'm not exactly volunteering to do it (have my hands full of the sephiroth theme at the moment anyway), but I definitely would be willing to collab on it with someone else, since I'm able to provide some decent guitar. Could you put me down in the instruments section under the electric guitar by the way? Oh and my sephiroth mix is coming along nicely, it's not exactly going to be marilyn manson, but it's definitely gonna be ominous enough to fit sephiroth ^^ On the same note: does anyone know of a way to get the sampled vocals from OWA?
-
Yeah, sure. If you're a guitarist, it can only mean good things. I mentioned this a few pages back, and a few pages before that, but more than one of Sephiroth's themes would be included, because of the amount of times Squeenix has redone it themselves. Jenova's theme and Bizzaro Seph's theme would both count. One idea a friend of mine had an idea, to do the whole thing all Marilyn Manson -y, with crazy ass, demonic latin lyrics, that no one would be able to understand, in that gutteral, demonic voice. You know what I mean? If not, well, the choice is yours, not mine. Sleepy Emp, that was amazing. Thats all I can really say. Downright incredible. Well the Marilyn Manson thing sounds like a good idea, even though I only have some basic idea of how his songs are, so I'll have to listen a bit more to him, but I think it will make a great remix. About the lyrics, I'd definitely need some kind of lyricist able to do grunting and screams, but fortunately there's enough time to find one since I can just start with the arrangement and add the vocals last. Anyway, I'll start working on it this afternoon, and come up with a WIP to demonstrate the general idea as soon as possible ^^
