Eino Keskitalo

Good going people. Seeing those numbers go is strangely fun.

Another superb round. Tons of creativity too! Good job folks! Tough times picking just three tracks once again.

Eino Keskitalo - Maverick Astley A Centipede's Burden (Magna Centipede in X-Hunter Stage 1 [X2]) Laser Power (Shield Sheldon in X-Hunter Stage 1 [X2]) Soaked Tapes (Tidal Makoeen in X-Hunter Stage 1 [X2])

Trev, wanna take a shot at playing violin on my track?

Another hot round.. good job! No scores have been tallied for the previous rounds, right?

Yeah, I'm a little tied up see you in two weeks, hopefully!

Reading the previous year's post, the bad mixtitle pun flood basically has to happen. My ideas: Mixes with titles in Finnish (at least partially) Mixes with guitars by Tuberz McGee Mixes that are recent resubmissions of Portal 2 tunes Mixes of collabs where the other mixer is Dutch Sorry, I have no serious ideas, but generally the bit more obscure stuff, or just funny connections between pieces would make me smile.

If there's an answer for other OCR music, it would be urgently useful for a video project.

Maybe you didn't notice, but you got rickrolled already last week. The quality remains high. I feel it is actually a lot tougher to pick the top three. Nice work.

Thanks, pretty much what I wanted to hear! I think I did some subtle clean-up, with EQ and just removing stuff. Might have separated the panning more, too.

I am assuming that while the content policy on reusing OC ReMixes is clear when it comes to arrangements themselves, there is still really no permit from the copyright holders of the original music (game companies). Are there instances where there is no such gray area about re-using OC ReMixes? e.g. with Capcom or Square-Enix, with whom I understand OCR has some agreements (do they say anything about a third party re-using the arrangements)?

Kinda hard to say much about short clips. Maybe consider posting a single full tune you want most feedback on? I don't know much about KOF soundtracks so it's hard to say anything about how you interpreted the original, without linking to the OST too.

Didn't really tweak the lead sound/expression, sure they could be improved but I kinda want to be done with this one.

It's not dead, some guy keeps posting awesome stuff.

Sorrrry.... VV3 track took longer than I anticipated (what doesn't!), then first round of SFRG happened.. I suppose I should work on this now!

Just sent ours in! What a week. Completely blown away by these two other guys in the team. Ooooompgh. That's the word.

So.. just under 24 hours to go? Ooomph..

oh, you guys Without the megacollaboration (including mr. Zieja, the fastest clarinet slinger in the western hemisphere), it would be nothing but a miserable pile of musical ideas. I'm amazed how well it holds together now. :->

Well, this is indeed a genre you don't hear all that often around here. But yeah, it is surely most welcome! This is a super fun arrangement. The changes to the arrangement v1 to v2 add a lot in my opinion. The sounds are actually mostly pretty serviceable to my ears - the ensemble playing sounds genuine enough, like a band playing. Only the banjo feels rather mechanically sequenced, and the bass when it's exposed during multi-instrument dropouts (arrangement-wise, these spots are really good). Arrangement-wise, the only thing to improve I'd say would be the ending - it kind of just stops, it could do something more there, like repeat the last phrase a couple of times, slow it down a little, or some other such signaling that the piece is coming to a close. Strong stuff, I'm really eager to hear more. Good luck with the recording gear!

I think i prefer "Eino Keskitalo" for the signature, if that's not too much trouble! I'm going first for Maverick Astley. Let's roll.

Later half of the eighties on Japanese home computers is a goldmine, and Sierra did a really good job porting the game over on DOS. Same for Silpheed, pretty rocking soundtrack there. I recall reading somewhere that the Silpheed soundtrack was quite groundbreaking at the time (1986), pushing the envelope. Zeliard is also very much worth checking out as a game, if you're into sidescrolling action adventure games!

Cool tune.

1) Awesome that you've been checking out the Zeliard soundtrack 2) Haha, that's really obvious once you put it together. Nice!
