  1. UPDATE v4. Check the first post!

    Basicaly trying to put down the song while fixing stuff wasn't the right approach.

    So I decided to try and get the structure done first (intro-verse-bridge-break-etc).

    Then when the whole map thing will be put down, I will concentrate on EQ & mastering.

    v4 Log:

    -I tried to adress the latest issues mentioned, while mainly focusing on song structure.

    -I totally suppressed the distorition fx on the guitar, that was causing the piercing sound.

    -Extended track to 3:48, lenghtened the break, tweaked the last part

    -Thanks to Gario I've discovered that my PC mixer was panned 1 bar left.

    So everything I'd made so far had that flaw. I would have never noticed otherwise, so thx!

    Any constructive feedback would be helpful, as usual! ;-)

  2. @Jaybell: links are down, but I'll try and manage to send some WIPs your way. ;-)

    Oh man, sorry to say, but there's no way these remixes even come close to being good enough to pay tribute to Dynamite Headdy :( sorry :(

    Don't be sorry, I know you didn't meant to be rude, you were just being honnest.

    That's cool, so don't worry, I get you man, I really do.

    But as mentioned, it wasn't intended to be a musical masterpiece.

    Merely a response to a fan's request that has been unanswered for years.

    Well at least I'm trying, and most importantly I'm having fun doing it.

    Also since it seems some people do appreciate it as is, I'll continue as planned.

    Everyone is welcome to join the fun here if they want, and remix some Headdy. :grin:

    EDIT: I won't be able to remix anything till early June, since sadly, my music computer unexpectedly died on me. :cry:

  3. Not too long ago, Will gave me a link to his remix of Green Hill Zone from Sonic.

    Upon listening, I told him that the force in his music is that he's got his own unique style to it.

    When I pressed play this time around, it wasn't any different.

    At 0:25 into the song, I already knew I was in for a treat.

    While retaining the spirit of the original, it expands the horizon with the audacious clash of genres.

    I luved the chord progression, drum pattern, pitch modulation and overall work on soundscape.

    This song is overflowing with synth goodness, mixed with a distinctive 80s flavor.

    So here, Link's dream almost tasted like a sweet candy drop from childhood.

    This remix is the living proof that what counts is not necessarily samples, but talent.

    And Willrock's got plenty of that.

    Congrats on your first (and certainly not last) posted remix. ;-)

    Great Tal Tal Mountain revisit.

  4. Ah Ada's theme... A fond memory of the only game that I've completed 43 times already

    (mainly due to speedrunning in fact).

    It kicks off in the exact same spirit as the original: atmospheric nape, & flute.

    Flute whose cheap sound buged me at begining.

    But I quickly forgot about it when the low pad, piano & synth joined the fun.

    Nice modulation right off the bat, and soon after enters the biggest addition to the original : drums.

    A perfectly fitting pattern of what I suspect to be a mix of D&B + Jungle.

    It gives the song so much energy, with the intervention of multiple synth, and a delightful near-sub bass.

    I loved how the whole soundscape got filled progressively, then slowly emptied, only to come back to life shortly thereafter.

    With the exeption of some very minor saturations mainly due to the flute, this is a wonderful arrangement.

    I enjoyed it a lot, even if it was way too short.

    Despite that, it is one of my favorite OCremix to date.

  5. Wow are all the songs still hosted? It's like your whole musical-life is up there! :shock:

    Dunno about the columns, haven't seen this being used in v-bulletin boards, strange.

    Anyway, it reminds me of The Vagrance's thread about weekly song.

    But I suppose yours was made way before his. ;-)

    Good idea, but I'm not sure everyone will have the patience to listen to each track and give feedback though.

  6. - I've had sleep paralysis -- not being able to move for about 30 seconds after waking up.

    I've had that shit happening to me all the time when I was in college, except it was scary as hell, because I couldn't even breathe either.

    Anyway, I usually sleep only 3 nights a week. So I confirm: it's very possible...

    Just don't push your luck if you have any kind of heavy physical activities planned at some point. ;-)

  7. The many sub-forums fusions had me worried for an instant ... but again, change always comes at a price.

    Even though I would be pleased to have the 'Workspace' (or workshop) forum back with both 'WIPs' & 'Remixing' at least, I can live without it.

    Luckily, my arm is still flexible enough to allow me to reach the mouse, and execute 2 or 3 more click than usual to reach target. ;-)

  8. Should be dubbed Awesome Video Game Nerd by now!

    He's one of my three favorite 'VG humorists' out there.

    Others are Yahtzee and his 'Zero Punctuation' reviews (that Sephire mentioned somewhere I believe),

    and Egoraptor with his 'Awesome Game' serie.

    Anyway, back to the f**king Nerd (as he calls himself!). Well now he's not that Angry anymore.

    But I've always liked his amazing talent at scratching the bottom of the barrel with more lame games & systems.

    Favorites AVGN reviews of mine would include:

    ("how about: vainquish this horrible game?")

    (absolutely hilarious!)

    (you can store a beer in it!)

    ("you want a shoryuken?")

    Check out his last one: X-men. ;-)

  9. I've got nothing against a little dramarama, but let's save everyone some time by considering this:

    That's my final version. :-)

    Now, I'm not taking anyone's side in this, but at least give the man a chance to prove himself by posting another song.

    Then, if it goes well, we can all tag along and sing Kumbiyah together at some bonfire later. :-D
