  1. Hi. Big fan of the site, I think it's great you came up with a site as unique and long overdue as this one. I can truly appreciate it, as I've had some experience with music making, mainly on the piano, and I've just been introduced to the digital music field.

    This is my first submission which I actually made months ago using Acid 2.0, but never bothered to submit for some reason. It's based on Donkey Kong Country 2's wasp hive theme (one of my faves), entitled "The Wasp Hive Jive."

    You can download it here:

    By the way, I've been looking for some software that's a bit more efficient than Acid 2.0 (not a big fan of loops, I think they're restricting). Any ideas?

  2. Hey djpretzel,

    First off, I love your site. I've been coming here for months and I'm constantly coming back looking for new and interesting remixes.

    OK, now on to the mix. I chose to remix this song from the SegaCD version of Final Fight. The music is from a level that I know for a fact is not on the SNES version, and I'm not sure it's in the original arcade version either. Anyway, it's a level that you're riding an industrial elevator, and bad guys are dropping in all around. Finally you get to the boss "Rolento" who tosses grenades at you and what not, he's a total pain in the ass. Anyway, the music was this awesome guitar track much like the entire soundtrack for that game.

    For my mix, I chose to go for a more electronic/rock hybrid. Everything I played by hand (guitar, keyboard, and drum programming). I only use one drum loop and I cut it all to hell in the beginning. There are 2 parts to this remix, the first part gets you set up so you get the general idea of the mix, and then there's a change in tone and it turns into the adrenaline pumping (hopefully) track it should be. This song should get you pumped up to go kick some ass on the street. OK, laterz!

    Here is the link to the file:

  3. Song URL:

    All right, I would have properly labeled the song, but MP3.com changes all the tag stuff, so I'll put it all here:

  4. Yo guys!

    I'd Like to start by saying that your site is really awesome and has nothing but great music. I've been a fan for a long time and always dreamed about having a remix of my own posted. Unfortunatelly, Im not very good with music, but still I tryed hard to do a good remix. After some frustrating results with other songs I finally got something that sounds nice (at least to me...). So, here it is, my first official remix. I followed all the rules and hope everything is ok. I did the remix all by myself and used as little pre-made material as possible. Please take a look, I mean, a listening, and evaluate it. If it's not up to snuff, that's ok. As much as I'd love to have my remix posted, I'd hate to see crappy music on your site. But please, either way, give me some feedback (by the way, I'm already taking lessons on becoming a catholic nun, you know, just in case). Thanks in advance! Hoping to hear from you soon, MesSMakeR (From Brazil)

    If you decide to post my music (my fingers are crossed), you can use my following e-mail in the site (for the fans): taxidriver666br@yahoo.com.br

    Now, the time you all have been waiting for... THE LINK (no, not from

    Zelda...):

    (its on a fast and reliable server)

  5. Hello, its been a looooong time since I've submitted anything. Anyway, this

    remix is kinda weird, but kinda cool. Took me a while to make. There's

    something in this remix that no other remix can have: My sister-in-law sang

    all the lyrics^_^ Oh, speaking of which, any off-temponess of her singing is

    completely my fault, not hers:) anyway, this is the boat song from Lunar

    Silver Star Story Complete and I hope you enjoy^_^

    Information that you probably already have:

    Remixer: Main Finger

  6. Now correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not BTW)- but being a SUPER MEGA HARDCORE ANIME MUSIC FAN (pry bigger than game music now) I'd have to point out and applaud your inspiration:

    Taku Iwasaki's Witch Hunter Robin. My favorite anime composer and one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.

    Good call - actually, a mix of that and .Hack/Sign, both of which I've been into lately. WHR not only has great music but also amazing character designs. Thanks for the props.

  7. Remember that while the arrangement is VERY important, if it was all that was important we'd be hosting MIDI files ala vgmusic.com. Not to knock what they've got going, as it's totally worthwhile, but I view the distinction between that and OCR being that not only is the arrangement of high quality, but the mixing and sounds are something you couldn't do with a soundblaster 16 and mediocre GM soundset.

    I know it's hard to recognize great work in one arena (arranging) and still have to say no because of shortcomings in another, but it's definitely a two-criteria ballgame.

  8. in an email or private message, i forget which, DJP said that this would

    probably be faster. But then that Morrowwind track was submitted and

    posted in less than three days, because I was hosting the file for him.

    Yes, but I'm not guaranteed to directly post something by a judge, and might send it back to the judges forum. It's not an absolute given, just a likelihood, which is why posting here can be faster.

  9. Pretty neat . . . what do you guys think?

    Hello!

    This is an arrangement of "At the Bottom of the Night" from Chrono Trigger. Yeah, I'm sorry for another CT mix, but I have always been enamored with this song.

    In any case, every single note is played with a sine wave. The only things that aren't are some of the drums and effects that I used to fill out the sound a bit.

    My remixer nickname is "Beej".

    Here is the URL to my song:

    Thanks for your time!

  10. Hey man

    I know that my curent music peaces have passed, but I hope u will enjoy this one.

    I have posted a simmilar remix to you before, but in midi.. This time I have

    done my best, and remade it in reason, and the result is a real Orchestral version

    of the stage one music of Rush n' Attack for nes. I would be wery happy

    if this remake passes..

    I hope u like it :)

  11. check this crapola out....

    I did this in a couple hours one day when i was bored at work....musically true to the original except that it's been dropped a 5th. The bass and sparkly sound fx are from the game (put thru Pitch&Time2.0) The guitar is real. The percussion is Reason's Redrum playing back drums samples that i recorded. I really dig your site. I just wish there was a way to organize the songs by rating.... or at least separate the stuff with live instrumentation from the electronic stuff.
