Missed this earlier.
I actually did this mix before "Destined for Greatness;" in fact, the reason I ended up doing "Destined for Greatness" in DADGAD tuning was because my guitar was already tuned that way from working on this track.
Could you please, please, please provide a tab of this for the listeners who are guitar players? -

"Ocean Palace" is listed as a source tune, but I can't find a track by any name like that for the Xenogears OST. Is this track from Chrono Trigger?
-
Happy time. This is great!
-
Ah. that makes sense
-
So has this album not been officially released on OCR yet because they want to let a little time pass from the Castlevania album?
-
I don't know if anyone has pointed this out already, but this sounds almost exactly like "Under the Moonlight" from the Radical Dreamers soundtrack. Not a bad thing, though
-
no way. that's weird. Maybe he's too busy with other stuff.
Btw, so sweet that Dave Wise is contributing, and to the ending theme, no less! He single-handedly made the best Donkey Kong game soundtrack ever
-
Where is Protricity in all of this? His DKC2 remixes have been some of the best!
-
That would be "Donkey Kong Rescued," which is on the list.
whoops. didn't realize that was the name of it
-
my mistake. i meant the music that plays while all the characters in the game scroll out
-
This is one of my favorite and most nostalgic games. Glad to see it getting a project.
The acronym for the title (Serious Monkey Business) is SMB, kinda funny.
Btw, hows come the ending theme (Ending Ambience) isn't on the project? It's one of the game's best tracks!
-
From 0:22 to 1:12 sends shivers down my spine
-
listening to the "Title Theme" for Oracle of Ages on YouTube sounds nothing like the melody in this remix. But this piano solo is one of my favorites on OCR
EDIT:
@LinkFX
Thanks

From Protricity's review, I was expecting much less, but this is very interesting, the kind of thing that would fit nicely as a Metroid game background track, I would imagine. My only complaint is that the piano part for the last several seconds with its short melody line, sounded out of place
-
Definitely take a lot of creative liberty with this as you don't really hear the Kraid tune too strongly, but it's atmospheric and well done
-
actually, what do VSTi files look like? Are they dll extensions? Because I've been using those fine. I installed the Soundfont Player but is it supposed to act like a patch for the sequencing program I'm using or do I run it while running the sequencer? I can't seem to listen to any soundfonts that I load on the soundfont player, or do anything with the soundfont.

Get a soundfont player VSTi like this one:

Here's a good electric guitar soundfont:

Nice for solos, but also ok for basic rhythm guitar. Check out the lower velocity levels at lower registers for palm muted strings.
It's recorded via direct in, which means you have to use an amp simulator effect. Sampled guitars that are already amped by default have a much more static sound to them, so this is the way to go really.
Try JMC900 from the bundle you can download here:
Example of what it can sound like:

Happy chugging
If you're looking for cleaner rhythm sounds, I'm sure the sf can pull that off somewhat convincingly as well, with the right amp settings. Experiment!
Thanks. I actually already have the GSuite (that bundle). What do I do with the Soundfont Player once I've installed it?
Thanks for your help
-
Thanks Yoozer. I actually already have ASIO4ALL. I'm not gonna use REAPER because its demo is 30-day. I'm using MULAB. I just can't get a good sounding rhythm guitar out of the free electric guitar VST's I've found
-
lots of things it could be - start with:
-check your sound prefs and make sure you have your audio card dialed in
-check your signal flow - in's and outs - are you using just midi? then do you have a virtual instrument correctly instantiated
how do I do these two things?
and which audio driver should i install?
-
Hey Nase, I've installed MU.LAB and it seems great, but does it support plugin soundfonts (SF2 files)? what kinds of soundfonts can I import?
-
Thanks for the suggestions audio fidelity. I'll try those (REAPER and other programs say that they can't even detect a sound card at all!).
Nase, I'll try that program out! thanks
-
For some reason I can't hear any sound on Reaper
-
Thanks you two. I'll look into that
-
I'm new to using sequencers. My music software experience is limited to Finale Notepad and a bit of tinkering with Fruity Loops. I was wondering, is there a legally free version of decent sounding music software out there? Finale only puts out MIDI files (not the best sounding stuff). I know that the Fruity Loops demo doesn't let you save your work.

This album was amazing. I suppose I shouldn't expect less when the source tunes are by Yasunori Mitsuda. But there are probably more tracks on this project that I think are really great than on almost any other OCR album yet. However, I expect Serious Monkey Business to beat it *crosses fingers*
