Thanks for the kind(er) replies people! Quoting Rozovian: "Not familiar with the source so I won't comment on that. The sound is good for most part, but the high pass-filtered harpsicord-like synth backing during the first half isn't that pleasant, needs some work to not be too shrill or contrast the more subdued section it's in." The "harpsicord-like synth" sounded oldskool 8-bit. I think thats why I left it in at the time... to keep the link to the original a bit? Hmm I'll try to see what I can do about that though, thanks! "Why not finish it yourself? " I was thinking of a collab while I was doing this remix. For instance, while I was doing this track, I left out percussion for most part because of this. "Even if all the sounds you've used are presets, you've got good taste in soundscaping." Thank you, and you clearly know your synths cuz yes they are preset. Could I ask you what you do when you're looking for the right synth sound.. You make your own in Albino? Quoting Gario: "now it needs to break from the source a bit in order to avoid sounding repetitious (always a bad thing). Compose something that is vaguely related to the source (taking bits and pieces and making something new out of them), then bring it back to the source stuff you've already been doing." That's a great great tip... The remix wasnt made with OCRemix in mind.. But indeed to submit this here, i, or hopefully another ReMixer, will have to put more original passages in it. And I think right after the orchestral bit is the right place to do that. You know, I allready submitted something a week ago. It was a redo of the GTA 3 intro song. http://www.nfftrax.nl/trax/625359807-gtalaatste.mp3 . It was made before I became a member of this site and is way tooo close to the source: http://www.imeem.com/gregorydesigns/music/6n5LYbYh/rockstar-gta-3-theme-song/ So I think it will be a big NO! but one can still hope . "do you plan on leaving it for the other person to do as he wants with it (allowing free compositional reign for the second composer), or are you going to tell them if something works and something doesn't (leaving you as the lead creative artist)? I'd be fascinated to see what someone else could do with this with option # 1" Thoug discussion is always possible I would go with option 1. As this is a hobby for me, I like to keep things as exciting as possible. The results could be great, disastrous or somewhere in between. Thanks for your time and thoughts, much appreciated for sure!! Quote AngelsDen: "I have to confess, that i like this Tune" Dont take this the wrong way.. but I really had to laugh at that 1st sentence. "... But somehow I'm missing some decent drumlines. At some parts the tune builds up and your waiting for something that changes and distrubs that overall chillin-feeling." I left percussion and drums out on purpose for the most part. 1st of all I wanted to try another approach to producing something. If I would have worked on drums and percussion simulaniously to what I have been working on now... the track might have turned out different.. you know what im trying to say? I also thought of a online collab with some great remixer while I was doing this track. As you can see the link ot the mp3 points to that C64 remix site. "Dont give up on it! I often loose inspiration while doing a Remix with Fruity loops, but thanks to the open community you are able to get some directions to go" Yes indeed! Thank you for your time and thoughts AngelsDen!

Theres some potential here.. I for one like the mood you're trying to bring. I'm new on this forum but maybe I can help you out with the next pointers: - Lead and back synths are almost identical wich causes alot of frequentie overlap. Either use different synths or do something with the EQ - Notes are kind of close to eachother without creating significant harmony. Spread out a bit.. A wider range will help you with that frequency problem - Back synths are too present, I would use a more ambient synth for that. Not only do they take a lot of space in you song.. they also tend to push your drums to the background whenever the lead starts to play... its kinda.. overcrowded? - There's some slight clipping on the left sometimes - The track needs more variation atm. You might wanna try some automations - This track needs some variable and more obvious baseline in my opinion - Did you put a phaser on an open hat? Cause right now it sounds like a snake attacking me from both sides. Excuse me english.. and good luck!!

Almost what I thought. Only I was thinking "Spannish influences", but listening again.. You're right, Latin.

fantastic! One thing though.. why did you leave out that chorus thingy. I dont know how else to explain what I mean. If you would chop the original song in parts there would be 3 parts.. you only used the 1st 2. Didnt the 3rd fit in? For me that was the climax of the song.. GOOD JOB, LUV THAT SONG!

I made half a remix and I'm curious what others could do to it. Thats it. quote: "It's like building a tower. You build half the tower, and let your friend build the rest" I dont see whats wrong with that. As I said.. I've done this before. No one was offended or called lazy afterwards. quote: "BAM you go home you never see him again." What are you on about? Did something explode just now? quote: "You're not working together on the whole tower... you're doing half the tower on your own. " Yea, you just said that 2 sentences ago.. whats your point?

No suggestions (as of yet) but i just wanted to say... I like this a lot!! Very enjoyable to listen to!

Nice definition of the word collaboration. I do finnish songs for friends sometimes and when the amount of work that is put into a song is around 50/50 I would call it a collab. So maybe thats just your interpretation of the word? I think calling someone, you dont know, lazy... is plain rude.

You could be wrong

Golden Axe theme remix in FL studio.. who wants to finnish it? Maybe it could become a collab afterwards? You might wanna have EWQLSO and Albino (vst's) at your disposal. http://remix.kwed.org/download.php/3668/KeysersozeH%20-%20Golden%20Axe%20rmx.mp3
