Gario

To be honest, retro gaming is a guilty pleasure of mine - I almost don't play any new generation of VG's anymore, nor am I ever really excited about them, but I still play the oldies religiously (sadly, I need to emulate them, now, but it's better than nothing). I love those old, super difficult games (Silver Surfer still remains one of my favorites - bless those ridiculously difficult levels). They just get my blood boilin'!

Wow, that's dedication, right there! He's serious about his work, that's for sure. Yup, I hope you found what you wanted, too .

Hmm... Kinky. Internet whipping, ftw:tomatoface:.

You youngin's jess don' understand what pleasure you could git frum repeatedly doing something over and over until you just get good at that thar game. Do it again and again, dag-nabbit! Yeah, it was all about repetition. All the games were pretty difficult and there was no one to turn to if you couldn't do it (unlike today, when parents often were gamers, themselves), nor was there any easier alternative, so you just played the shit out of the games you had until you beat them. Repetition - it's what it was all about, man.

Buffalo mix, DAMNIT!!! AARGH!!!

Even if I agree with what everyone's said with the mix, I kinda like it. Call me crazy, but I like it. The bass drum really doesn't fit the style too well; use something that doesn't dominate so much. The arrangement isn't too interesting, so if you want to go that route you'll need to make up for it with less subtle changes with the instrumentation and such. If you want to keep the subtle instrumentation (which is what I liked, personally) you should change the arrangement of the music more. The mix is certainly too quite, overall, and the dynamics are rather static. Meh, the others told you that, though. If the arrangement wasn't so strictly in time with the source I'd love this song; I only like it, at the moment. Make me love it.

Shame I don't know the other source, but YES! Toxic Seahorse FTW! Now we just need to hear the Buffalo mix, there...

Mainly the music, though - I'll forgive any lack of judgment if you write more MUSIC. Happy birthday, man.

That whole soundtrack is very sweet and under-remixed. Someday I may take a shot at something, but not right now . Show off your Buffalo song when you can, Level 99 - we'd love it for sure . That is correct .

Hey, if it was my birthday, I wouldn't care who the money came from, if I got it . Send him money, Meteo Xavier .

Good job, Will! Let's hear some goodness from your next midi - hopefully, with a round like this it means that more people are going to come around for the next few rounds. Nice round, overall .

Well, it sounds like your having a hell of a lot of fun with it, as it sounds great. I really like the change to 12/8 towards the end, very energetic. Too bad I don't know the source, but I'm sure it's there (unless your making a lot of crap up, there). The mastering sounds a bit hot in the mids, but other than that it sounds excellent. If this is what you do for fun I really want to know what you take seriously. Very nice - now finish it .

Probably because it's always up at the top, there. Essence of Lime is a near-full blown project, so it's bound to get more attention because it's a combination of many mixes, and James' post was... special. Don't worry, it doesn't mean your post isn't special, too .

Who revived this thread... Nekofrog, what'd you do something like that for? Your an ass . Yeah, and Jabond, don't go posting the guy's stuff just so we can make fun of it - even if the guy was stuck up it's unethical. I actually saw him around in the original WIP forum and the stuff he posted wasn't half bad (although due to the variance in the styles I'm not completely sure most of it was his ). Let this thread be ignored into obscurity, please.

Hmm... This does sound intriguing... If Rozo hasn't taken the job already, I'm more than willing to write some stuff up for you.

OP is a few hours INTO THE FUTURE!! I'd like to be a part of the future, so happy birthday, DJP! May you have success in the future ('cause if you don't this site would go down, and that would be bad )!

I only have time to listen to the first track. I swear I'll listen to the second track as soon as I can... unfortunately that won't be until this Monday (the large files are making it hard to download at home, right now ). However, from the first track I can tell you your levels are pretty loud, right now. The highs in the track are physically hurting my ears, atm... turn them down, a lot. Otherwise, a sweet track you've got going. I really, really liked the intro to the whole thing, and the epic feel works well. Do you plan on incorporating Nightwish-like singing into this? That would be pretty sweet. I haven't heard the other track yet (like I said, I probably won't until Monday). Best of luck with this.

No, should I have?

Sorry for the late response... The guitar hits some sour notes. I'd just stick to the source, for that tiny part . Wow, nice organ - I couldn't hear it before. The balance of the mix is doing better, I'll admit. The guitar still drowns the orchestra when it shouldn't from time to time, but that's not hard to fix (I don't think). Yeah, keep cleaning it up - I don't have my volume up enough to give you better feedback (sorry!)... Isn't anyone else gonna help a brotha remixer out?

Wow, really? I always wondered what happened to the whole Descent series... It was a good series, too .

Yup, the verdict is... 6/8 or 12/8 .

I think 6/8 is right - each phrase is only two dotted quarters long. I'd like to open the file to see it myself (perhaps your barring is wrong, which leads you to think it isn't in 6/8 or something) but I never had Finale (and this isn't a computer that I can download notepad on). If you can get a PDF up or something that would be great . It's 6/8, but 12/8 could work too, if you wanted it to (much like 4/4 can work for some 2/4 songs).

Hello, original game music. Quick question - why is the low fi on purpose? I can't think of a reason to make something low fi unless there are some limitations with a tracker or such, or if heavy compression is needed to fit the file in the game. Anyhow... Yes, if it needs to be low fi for one reason or another, the hats and cymbals can be taken down a bit to match the rest of the game, I agree. You know that though . What is that choir/guitar combo sample you use? It just sounds funny together like that - I'd suggest something like a Saw or something if this is low fi. I like the background textures, though - they're nice. There's no real melody in there until about halfway into the song - it sounds like it meanders a bit too much for me (in the second half of the song it sounds fine, though). Even if there is no intention to add a melody making the instruments sound a little more smooth and coherent will help. What game are you developing this for? It sounds neat, so far . Tis' a shame people don't check these boards more often - originals need feedback too .

Ironic that your a fan of SSBB, Mew2King... He was kicked out of that game, so why would that make it your favorite? Did you usurp the little bugger and take the crown for yourself? ARE YOU LUCARIO IN DISGUISE?! Alright, but seriously, Audix seems to have a pretty good WIP of the only original theme in ssbb - check it out ..

Dude, if Chicken Warlord so happens to see your message, I'll be surprised - look at the posting date .
