    Megaman 9 ReMix- Galaxy Man "Maple Trees Under The Stars"

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Posted

    Whoops! Didn't notice the new version, lol. Love the bass, that adds a lot to the song. My only other suggestion now would be to flesh out the percussion a little more, if you could. It's pretty repetitious, and could use some fills or something--with the latin theme, you might go with some extra percussion. Timbales, congas, whatever. Something to give it a little more body.

    Also, the reverb on the perx could use some more high damping, IMO. Just a little too "bright" of a reverb sound, I think.

    Other than that, and my previous length concern, I got nothin'. Cool stuff!

    First off, I love the total change in pace and atmosphere! That source tune is a bit hyper, whereas this is about as chilled as it gets. Maybe too chilled, to be honest--it's just screming "RnB" to me. Something like this, perhaps? Just a quickie beat and bassline I threw in there, but the song is just begging for a little more fullness.

    Also, I think there's a stray frequency on that flute that could stand to be taken out, somewhere in the low mid. In addition, I think the piano's delay could stand to have the low cutoff raised, so that the delayed notes don't have the low mid of the main feed. Just to clean it up a bit.

    One more thing, arrangement-wise, is that I'd personally say you could stand to shorten the arrangement just a touch. At least throw a few more changes in there, possibly.

    That said, I dug this mix. Cool work!

    RuneScape - Dream (plus Garden)

    Well hey it's another WIP from me, except this one's a slightly more "finished" one. It's mainly a remix of the Runescape song "Dream," although it's got some of the Garden" theme in there too. Here is the MP3 file, and I await your thoughts! Thanks!

    EDIT1: Updated the mix just a bit. http://flexstylemusic.com/downloads/misc/rsdream_beta2.mp3

    EDIT2: Another update. Shorted the outro, adjusted the master EQ a bit. http://flexstylemusic.com/downloads/misc/rsdream_beta3.mp3 Getting close to done here, I think.

    It's true, I tried to make it clear that I was stating my opinion based on my personal preference. I'm less of a musician and more of an engineer; it's just the way I've been trained and have trained myself. After all, I hope to make a living (or at least part of one) out of mixing and mastering songs some day.

    That said, I don't want to undermine the hard work that was definitely put into this! Props for getting the project done, to all involved!

    First off, I love the arrangement. Props for that, it's really nice! I think the mix has a few issues, though. From where I'm sitting and the system I'm on--which, granted, isn't truly right for critical listening, though it's all I've got--I love the bass, although the song's a bit muddy. I think the mix in general is a little overcompressed, and some of the sounds could use a little re-leveling and re-EQing. To be specific:

    - The porta lead that comes in at about :45 or so could use a little bit of midrange taken out of it, it's a tad harsh. Also, could use some low-mid reduction, too. Actually, that goes for most of the song, so maybe that's just a master EQ thing.

    - That saw arp that starts to make itself known at 2:20 or so could use some toning down in the high-mids, too.

    I think a lot of issues would be solved with some low-mid re-EQing. Also, maybe changing that master compressor, too. It's pumping and sucking just a bit much in the wrong frequencies. Gotta let that awesome kick drum stand out!

    Like I said, though, I absolutely LOVE the arrangement! Would you be interested in collaborating in the future, by chance? Hit me up via PM if you are.

    Dark Cloud 2 - Intro

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Well, as per a post in the "Requests" forum, I've started work on a remix of the intro theme from Dark Cloud 2. Mind you, I've never played the game (although it looks quite cool), but I liked the theme. Here's what I've got so far: http://flexstylemusic.com/downloads/misc/dc2intrormx.mp3

    This is a very rough mix so far. I've got a lot of the sounds I want (very deadmau5-esque is what I'm aiming for), but I'm not at all satisfied with the arrangement. Any suggestions for any part of the song would be appreciated!

    EDIT: Here's the source, if anyone cares for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_QNJT24Dnw

    EDIT2: Updated mix. http://flexstylemusic.com/downloads/misc/dc2intrormxb2.mp3

    EDIT3: http://flexstylemusic.com/downloads/misc/dc2intrormxb3.mp3 New kick drum, more mastering, a bit of EQ on the mau5pluck, and some re-programming of drums/percussion.

    EDIT4: http://flexstylemusic.com/downloads/misc/dc2intrormxb4.mp3 Piano intro. A little more arrangement--just a little.

    Alright, I've started work on a deadmau5-esque rendition of the intro song. I really like the original, as per that YouTube video, so hopefully I'll finish this one. We'll see.

    I'd agree with several commenters that this album doesn't stack up so well next to some of the previous OCR albums. Production quality (basically what I judge almost any song by--sorry, just a personal thing, I'm a trained mix engineer) is lacking on many (okay, most, in my personal opinion) of the tunes. That said, there are some absolute gems here that make it well worth the download--bLiNd is a genius.

    Hey all, some might remember me from my last album, A Sense of Urgency, also plugged on this here forum once a long time ago. Well, I've gone and made another album, and I've decided to release it for free, too.

    The title of the album is "Elements of Creation," and it's an attempt to tell the story of the creation of the world with music. I'm one of those folks that believes that God created the world in six literal days, as documented in Genesis chapter 1 in the Bible.

    All that aside, it's an album of various electronica, from DnB to trance to ambient to down-tempo, and it may be found at the following links:

    Enjoy!

    He is indeed. Listen to his Jenova (Full) Looks like he just add something over it and used it. Blind did a great job on that song here, Looks like hes a fraud.

    Compare This kids Jenova (Full)

    To Blinds J-E-N-O-V-A.

    Very Simalar.

    To me, it just seems he switched around parts of the song, and may added some of his own in there aswell.

    No similarity at all, actually. Just a similar tune. Blind is a 1000x better producer than this guy is, obviously.

    See, the thing is, there are a lot of tracks which are, as you said, very high quality. However, there's a bunch of stuff in which the production mistakes are just so glaring that I'm not a hundred per cent sure they could be from the same person--although it IS definitely possible he's uploading old stuff too. Someone's skills CAN improve overnight (mine have on occasion) but this guy doesn't quite ring true.
