Not too bad man. I really love guitar oriented remixes. Especially rock and definitely metal. I like it although i think its a tad on the short side and missing a few key original parts. At least a sort of bridge/interlude and maybe a nice breakdown. You kinda have a breakdown in there already so maybe just elaborate on that part. Then add a nice guitar solo. Guitar solos always kick ass. You're a good guitar player so i think you can come up with something cool. Looking forward to your next update.

Yeah, i'm always very interested in creating music for video games. Especially video games. I would love to help you out, but it would be kinda nice to have something on your end to show us. Its easier to create something when we some kinda inspiration, ya know? Also, i almost exclusively write metal/rock. Check out the links in my sig to my youtube and reverbnation pages for examples of my work.

I don't know why i didn't notice you did this earlier! lol I'm enjoying it now though. I can hear the source fairly well, yet this is its own entity. I agree that the kick could really use some low end boost cause it doesn't really stand out right now. I know the drums are supposed to be kinda in the background on this one, but still man. You are a great drummer and you can hear that in this remix. That higher synth that comes in towards the end is enjoyable also. The ending where everything kinda picks up rhythm is an interesting changeup. Doesn't last as long as i'd like though. But the whole point of this source is to be dark and i think you did a decent job on this remix.

Hey man! I'm very impressed with your work and am interested in acquiring your services. I'm gonna send you a link to some stuff for you to ilsten to and maybe get an idea of what i want for an album cover.

Damn, now THAT'S a post my man! lol I don't know didley squat about programming and crazy data transfers, but i do know a lot about writing/remixing music tracks for ya. So when you get to that point, keep me in mind. Click some of the links in my sig for examples of my work.

You shall NOT get paid and like it!!!

YEAH!!! eventually a certain SOMEONE might have vocals for both tracks....***ahem***

Hi there. I write original music. I hear, though, that your very picky of your composers and ridiculously over-criticize their works. Anyways, there's samples of my works over at my youtube channel, which you can view HERE . Or just click the youtube link in my sig. Let me know what ya think?

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the songs. As for production wise, i think i've come a long ways from when i first started out recording my own stuff, but i know i need more practice still though. I do like both tracks, but Hero's Battle does flow a lot nicer than The Discovery. Both songs are in drop B, but i that Hero's Battle is much easier song to listen to. I wrote The Discovery to be a darker and meaner song while Hero's Battle is obviously a more upbeat song. As for the snare i'm using, it is DFH, and i'm getting better at using it properly. I've actually got some newer versions of both songs. I'm gonna upload them in a few minutes for listening.

UH OHHHHH!!!! I know Cyril is tired of hearing this, but that's all he needed to make some kick ass vox! Let's see how Brandon does, if he EVER gets around to it! HA!!

Actually, here's the final version. Finished it up last nite when i was half asleep, lol.

So i went ahead and did a metal remix for Lady GaGa's Bad Romance. Your welcome, lol. I, just like everyone else, kept hearing this damn song and worked it out in my head over time. I hope you guys like it.

Well, just letting you know its being heard, lol. Interesting little track. Reminds me of something in a video game? Of course if its from a video game, then i know. Sounds great so far though!

Very well done buddy. the production is tight as always and its an interesting mashup. I don't mind that song, but i hear it a lot in my line of work....grocery stores...ugh....anyways. I really enjoyed that.

I kinda like Damaged Emblem, but i agree that Gvttyrwyrm is def it man!

Hey guys. I haven't had much time to really get on here like i wanted to recently due to work....ugh...work..,..anyways, i've been recording a ton of new material due to some big inspirations lately. Mostly power/prog metal, but catchy stuff that i hope you guys will enjoy. First is The Discovery. I really like how the chorus turned out in this one: Second is Hero's Battle. This one reminds me of something from an action/fantasy movie soundtrack. Hence the harp intro and classical guitars in the background: I hope you guys enjoy them as they are part of my next original album that i've almost got finished.

***doing ACTIVITIES*** and you said no activity was going on here!

I really enjoyed this piece. Its very well written and ridiculously enjoyable, lol. I love the piano sound. Its very clean and sounds very realistic. Is it a vst or are you playing on a keyboard? Either way, its great. I really enjoyed the strings and oboe too. As for production, i don't hear any problems with this mix. I can't wait to hear if you've got anything to share!! Great job man.

I do have the free version of the EastWest Symphonic library. I should use those strings instead and see how it comes out. And the part before the first break section, i couldn't really figure out a good transition from the first part the slower second part. I should mess around with that section and see if i can't get it sound better. Thanks man, Joe

Yeah Brandon??? When ARE we?!? HAHA!! yeah, it does. lol

I might actually get the complete composer's edition. Amazing price for all 7 of them. Anyone have a suggestion for DAW is best for using these samples? I use mixcraft 5 right now, and it works for recording my rock/metal songs, but sometimes it doesn't like these samples, lol.

Here's just a quick update. A little better mixing and improved drums, or at least improved kick drum. I also slightly lengthened the interlude. Enjoy.

I should really finish one before starting another, lol. This version i made the synth leads a lot more dynamic. Some extra rolls and quick scales to help make it blend better rather than it just being the original notes playing over the song. That goes for intro as well the other parts of the song that have the synth lead. I also messed around with the quiet part before the song kicks back in after the solo. All the suggestions Dj Mokram made i took into consideration and applied them to the mix.

Ok, now i think i'm getting the hang of this, lol. I really like this version. Let me know what you guys think? I did a lot in terms of mastering. I really tried to bring forward the guitars and also the bass guitar so it sounds much cleaner. EDIT: I forgot the link to the source for the mod review. Zelda 2 Battle/Cave Theme

Yeah, sooooo.....yeah.....the mixing is pretty damn bad. The fact that you already know really makes this easier, lol. First of all, turn down everything but the drums. That'll even everything out as well as bring the drum track up more. If you just turn the drums up now, it might make the whole track too loud and overpowering. The organ sounds great! What VST is that? Cause i would love to have it! I think it needs a compressor to bring the levels down and a little EQ tweaking to help make it stand out but not overpower your other intruments. The fact that the guitars are not real is kinda interesting. At first it was a little different, but once the triplets and chords kicked in you couldn't completely tell it was fake. All in all man, its a great start and with some tweaking on the mixing side this will be a great track!
