I'm looking to finish up my Deus Ex UNATCO mix soon (within a week or so), so any feedback is much appreciated. That said, I should get to commenting Groboclown's mixes, and also Magellanic's Tyrian mix on the wip boards (though he didn't post about it here - he should). --Eino

Yeah, they do give them to early purchasers, even if they didn't pay more than the average. --Eino

BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, Jamestown and Wizorb got added as "beat the average" bonus games (with soundtracks included). The first three are from previous bundles (I forget if they're all from the same bundle), but Wizorb is new to the HIBs, and also a game I've been looking forward to getting. That tends to happen with the Bundles.. --Eino

Haven't had the chance to listen to more than Zeta Force (or is it "zeta force"), but it's gooood stuff. --Eino

A Youtube link , I think I got the right one..--Eino

Pretty nice track HoBoKa. At first it sounded like just an instrument replacement (especially as there were just the three tracks from the midi), but it pretty quickly went into some very nice personalization territory. Very good, pleasant sound selection as well. Trism's track had some good ideas but yeah, it was a bit of a mess. Fun to hear it still! edit: And thanks again to Bundeslang for taking the time to upload my track as a bonus. I really appreciate it. --Eino

Niiiice. Also got a "what's this? Sounds really good" comment from an innocent bystander. --Eino

Too bad, I was looking forward to that. But that happens. Still looking forward to the album of course! --Eino

http://www.humblebundle.com/ No thread yet? Are these too frequent already to make any waves? I primarily use a couple years old laptop with Linux. I really appreciate the mandatory Linux releases. Some of these probably work on my machine, Torchlight and (sadly) Rochard likely won't. But most of the time I'm just listening to the soundtracks anyway. I have Dustforce's already, which is pretty good. Probably will get this when I get paid, which would be just in time. --Eino

I already got Tracer and Game Genie, which both bring happiness with them, so I went and got this for $5. Which is still dirt cheap. Just like me. --Eino

Thanks for the comment! It's nice to hear the mix is appreciated and get suggestions. I have a severe lack of mastering chops, so the thing I'd do would be to push the limiter harder. Or try to even the levels between tracks during the mixing stage. Lots to learn anyway! This was now about as loud as my previous mix (Clockwork Groove) that I submitted, which I compared to some released ReMixes (Mazedude and TheGuitahHero iirc) and it was ok in comparison I thought, maybe a little quieter. Any tips what tracks I should compare it to? --Eino

Happy birthday to an awesome ReMixer! --Eino

Thanks Bundeslang. The track is here. I need to prepare a bit better next time.. and also try to schedule more time to work on the track! Couldn't do that now, but this was a really nice source. I'm pretty sure I'll keep working on the track in the future. --Eino

Well, I failed to install MP3 encoder on the machine I made the piece on beforehand.. currently installing.. I'll put my piece here for a bonus entry Bundeslang can upload I guess. --Eino

That's good! I won't have a full song, but at least it'll be something. --Eino

I have a little bit started. Probably can't continue until deadline. An extension would be nice, but if not I'll submit what I have closer to the deadline. --Eino

Latest version: wippity wip Just some mixing tweaks. The bass levels, especially the massive lofi kettle drum probably need some attention. My todo/feedback wanted in the first post still applies. Not sure if I should try to make the mix louder or if this suffices. I'm also less sure if the sounds are good enough (I seek to pass the panel with this). I also came up with a title: "Sadevakio" is Finnish for something like "The Rain Constant", trying to make some sort of a wordplay how it's always raining in cyberpunk settings. --Eino

I also gave you a vote. --Eino

Thanks for the comments, Guifrog.. let's hear more from people who aren't on the project (or Kyle) :> Yes indeed. And I failed the search (I put in "Live-a-Live", it's "Live a Live" in the database). I got a couple of friends to grab the EP and take a listen. It's short enough that people actually seem to do that.. I didn't have much success persuading folks to listen to ARMed and DANGerous - I guess the sheer size of that album makes it a treat for Wild ARMs fans, but a bit more challenging for a casual listener. No such problem here! I got positive comments too, not much specifics, apart from the Omigadrive track sounded "very professional" according to one commenter. I'll agree! --Eino

Well, you got here before I finished the e-mail. I took down the main lead and the fm/broken bell instrument a little. Thanks! --Eino

Many thanks! I did the level tweaks you suggested and they sounded good to me. I also eased up on the limiter a little - I originally pushed the limiter as hard as I could before it started to deteriorate in my ears, which apparently was a bit much, so I lowered it just in case. Final version If anyone's interested in the Renoise project file, grab it here. Got to write that sub e-mail now.. --Eino

Yah! This is a dood that makes things happen. Have a good one! --Eino

That sounds goooood. --Eino

Y'all should be checking this out, it's a concise package of quality tunes with a really fun concept behind it. It covers a lot of ground style-wise. I also think it's cool it has a bunch of games there have been no OC ReMixes of - Prince of Persia (2008), Hagane, Knight 'n' Grail, Ninja Gaiden (XBox), and Live-A-Live. Lots of systems covered too: three of the nine games are from SNES, but the rest are all from different systems. Dj Mokram did an outstanding job directing this thing. He worked very hard to get his EP done - and released! - in a short time-frame, which made it exciting to participate to and also obviously got good results out of the participants. The concept itself also worked great. It was fun to the themes and the tunes for them, and make them work together. I can't speak for my own tune, but at least 4/5 of this EP is excellent, so you shouldn't overlook this release! --Eino

It's a Commodore 64 track. --Eino
