  1. Hahaha... um, what the fuck? The movie industry is getting pretty desperate if they're using fake and purposely overdone trailers to generate ideas for actual movies. Awesome and badass, sure, but no less desperate.
  2. Glad MM2 Wily 1 was mentioned... but how could MM3 Intro not be mentioned? Let's see... on this site alone, nine remixes? Ten, if you include the one that I'll make, someday . Gotta admit, though, it IS just that badass.
  3. Never said we were the judges, Neblix, but I can't make a decent personal judgment on if the mix will pass or not until he makes his new rendition. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, waiting for the update
  4. Can't judge it until we hear it. The mixing will need to be finished, though, that much is certain, so when you make the changes don't forget to touch up the production, as well .
  5. Well, here's a few remixes that I could find... Really, for a game that didn't have that many tracks (I can't really say the quick ditties before every match are remixable, simply because of their length) it actually has quite a few remixes on this site (including one of my personal favorites on this site ). They're old, but they're there. Now that I think about it, though, a medley of every fighter's theme song would be an interesting idea for a remix... EDIT: Wait, you're looking for a particular song from there? Sorry, misread - got the wrong impression from Charlemagne, there...
  6. Megaman 2 on a pad, while probably easier than Castlevania or Mario, would be completely epic. Wait, try a 'no power' run on MM2 (except the last boss, of course), just to rub in the awesomeness of it all. Shit, the possibilities are endless!
  7. As you said on the video, it isn't mixed or mastered yet, so I'll hold off on the mastering, for now. It is less clear than it could be, but if you're aware of that then I'll wait. Great arrangement of the tune, spot on with just about everything. Note I said Arrangement (awesomely defined in this thread), not Re(M)ix. OCR is looking for ReMixes of video game music, so this would not be accepted, on those grounds alone. On a side note, if you were to submit anything, the max bitrate is 192kbps, and the filesize cap is 8mb. You can get more information about submission standards here, so take a look. Yeah, great arrangement, though, and I hope to hear some remixing from you shortly .
  8. That's fine - I'll probably have something done by then. Always keeping an eye on the forums, myself, so I'll know of any dates you & John set.

  9. I had an update a month or so ago, and I probably won't get the final done for at least another month or two, so just be weary of that. I think John knows it, too.

    A project to finish in the summer, is the way he put it, so I'll focus on a few more dire things until then.

  10. S'all good, bro. How're you doin'?

  11. DAMN! I'm a little late on the tut I promised, but I did donate some monies (which is what you really care about ). I'll have it postable in a day or two - beware, it's huge.
  12. I'm going to say wait for the reverb + room effects before demanding sustain on the piano. It's dry, admittedly, but the effects might fill the space enough to make it acceptible. The light playing is a part of the genre so adding the sustain may be overkill to something that reverb would fix nicely enough.
  13. I'd watch it if it came out anywhere near where I live. If it fails half as hard as the Mario Bros. Movie, it'd be worth it. Cheeeeezetastic!
  14. I hear what you're hearing, but I don't have the tools to do such a thing. SHNABUBULA - I SUMMON YOU! BY YOUR POWER MAKE PAPERBOY INTO A MARIO KART TRACK!! ... or anyone else who's up for it. I'm curious to see how it's turn out.
  15. The correct link would help http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/328677 It's pretty fun and catchy. It seems to use the same sound/instruments for long stretches at a time, though, which tires my ears. Still, an interesting idea, and it sounds like you were just having some fun with it . The voice has waaay too much reverb, though. It doesn't sound creepy, it sounds fuzzy and hard to hear. Clear it up a little bit for me, peez Otherwise, fun idea and addictive beat.
  16. I left comments on Newgrounds, so you can take a look at them. They're directed at the sound level, but they get around that to the other things, as well. Read em' up and give us an update
  17. Some mad mixing skillz would take this song to new heights, for sure - nothing really stands out as a melody/harmony now, creating a pretty muddy track. Basically, the theme needs to come out to the front while much of the background elements need to go... well, in the background. A great arrangement can turn to crap with poor mixing, while total crap can be acceptable with great mixing, so work on it . About the remix itself, it's pretty tight to the source in the beginning, but the shredding helps keep it distinct. I hear all sorts of video game tunage in there later - so much so you should probably warn people in the thread title that it's a medley... unless you want it to be a surprise, of course. I'm hearing various Castlevania tunes in there, Hyrule Castle (perhaps a little too obvious - it's actually a little jarring; try masking it at least a little), Megaman 1 Wily at 3:14 (the sexy, sexy beast it is), and some Tragic Prince thrown in there . Most of it meshes quite well, so good job avoiding medley-itis. The harmony guitar seems to ring for most of the track. The textures change, but they bleed into each other so it sounds like one sound. Tighten up the performance on that, there. Don't overuse the ringing guitar texture towards the end, either - it needs to keep changing in order to keep the listener interested. The drums... well, they need a major overhaul. That 'boom-chick' pattern is terrible, and the machine you use just takes away from the song, overall. I love the source, and I like what you did with it, arrangement-wise, but the production indeed needs some serious tightening up, there. A re-record may fix some of the other problems I mentioned, as well. Looking forward to your next update
  18. Mmm... tasty piano music. The beginning section (aka the first half) was quite repetitive, so I'd vary up some of the melodies & harmonies so we listeners don't become bored. I love the harmonic direction of it, but it can't repeat like it does, there. The second section is amazing. You really took the music in a whole new direction, and I loved it. The playing is quite dry, though, like Liz said. I'd also bring out the melody more in the middle section, there, since it often gets lost in the texture (and not in a good way, either). You need to perform this on a real piano and touch up the intro a bit. Hell, if you make a dry performance of this (as long as it's live and on a real piano) I could spruce it up with some studio magic to make it sound rich. 'Course, if you could find a hall to record it in that'd be even better, but I'm offering that to ya, if you want it . Great music, there. Spakku, you're actually telling him he's wrong on a purely subjective opinion. Opinions are fine, but saying it's objectively 'wrong' because it didn't work for you isn't very helpful .
  19. Does Opera count? If so, add this mofo to the list. Performance times... June 6, 2010 June 16, 2010 <--- Going to this one, if I remember the date on my ticket correctly... June 26, 2010
  20. lol, Hoboka - I still have that 'Death by Dragon' track on my computer. I always liked that intro . Seems you've got quite a few nice comments on Youtube, for it... damn, I should post some of my stuff on there, sometime, lol.
  21. Great stuff, dudes. Really, it's taking me back to your over-compressed days, and I'm liking it Tor, Area music and Boss music is excellent. Now you need to somehow incorporate Area 5/10 with it's 5/4 glory and it'd be perfect. 'Course, it's great now, so keep us updated - we wants more. Oh, and I think you meant June 2010... 09' was so last year .

    The music was made by Horner? I did notice at all... That is a pretty weak soundtrack, for him. It wasn't bad, but it was forgettable (which should never be the case with Horner). Ah well, whatever puts bread on the table, I guess.

    I just watched it... While it wasn't terrible, I couldn't stop myself from making terrible, terrible WoW jokes, the entire time, so I can't say I really could follow it, either. I think I got the jist of it, though. It's not bad, but pretty overrated, imho. I thought it was hilarious, but yeah, complete nonsense, from a tactical point of view.
  24. Very tight description, LT. I will use it in the future, since I never seem to be able to explain that properly to people (never distinguished between Remixing and ReMixing, like that).
  25. I love the source (because you're right, it's Doomsday zone) - but a lot of people may not since they haven't heard it before. Posting the source is a courtesy that helps everyone, so here it is. The production on this one is really, really dirty. Whether you did this intentionally or not (I'm leaning towards the latter, in this case) you really need to clean up the clipping on it. It's just too difficult to hear the arrangement, on it. If you don't know where to start, turn down the master volume until it doesn't clip, then turn up the tracks individually and mix them so every track has a different place in the song (instead of trying to bring every instrument out to the front). The arrangement itself is pretty much the source. Not a bad thing, really, although I'd encourage making it longer and playing with the source a little more (that way it won't sound repetitious when you extend the length). EDIT: Oops, didn't read that you prefer arrangements. That's fine - you can disregard that last comment, if you'd like. Keep working - the arrangement may or may not be finished, but the production has some way to go. Good luck, and keep us up to date
