  1. eilios is right about the quality. . . it's pretty much like that for the rest of the track too, actually The arrangement is also really conservative (using too many elements from the source). It could really use some more fleshing out from the source, as well as better quality. . . When that dB meter turns red, that means it has the potential to clip (which is that buzzing noise you can hear while listening). Everything is just too loud. Especially that lead (I can barely tell what instrument that is, it's so loud). No hard feelings or offense intended here, but this is not OCR material. . . . yet. However, if you worked for longer than just 24 hours, you could improve this a LOT. For most people (anyone else is just inhuman ), a good remix takes a lot longer than 24 hours to make. (btw I'm assuming you mean elapsed time, rather than time actually spent on it).
  2. PLEASE let me know when this is finished so I can download it. Such a great track. Nothing really critical about it can be said from me other than what has been said already, and I apologize in that respect But this track. . . is just awesome. I'm such a sucker for glitchy/chippy stuff like this
  3. Thanks a lot I'm not sure how that works, but I think the administrators of the project (I know TheDamned is one of them) has to come to me and ask me to do it. I'm not sure my skills (or my schedule) would be up to the challenge though, hahahaha On a side note, the Greatest Loss of All isn't from a main Pokemon game, and I think the Missingno Tracks project only features songs from the main games. (TGLOA is from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, a spin-off)
  4. http://tindeck.com/listen/twrh I consider this to be finished. If anybody has any gripes about this, let me know please. Haha if I don't get any criticism from anybody within the next 24 hours or so I'm subbing it.
  5. http://tindeck.com/listen/ouvu Here's an update, the track itself is completed. I might do something to make the transition a little smoother from the final chorus to the outro, like maybe take away some of the snares at the beginning of the outro. Edit: Here's what I said I was gonna do, plus some other adjustments: http://tindeck.com/listen/coof ...lol coof. . .
  6. I've taken some time off from remixing, but I just couldn't pass up the inspiration I got for this. http://tindeck.com/listen/ogpr This is the start of a chippy remix of the Abandoned Ship theme from Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Well. . . Sort of half chippy. . . I seriously don't know what genre my music is. Could somebody please tell me if they know? hahahaha This is not complete yet. . .I intend to add at least a minute's worth material to it before it's completed. And polish a lot of stuff. . . And here's the source track: for anyone who needs it
  7. VVelcome to ze ocremix zite, zuh

  8. I think starting off with those string attacks are great, but the abrupt entering of the rest of the strings kinda startled me. Try to add some buildup, like an additional timpani roll before the phrase, or reverse cymbal, or both. A song as graceful as this should have nice smooth transitions, that build and fade, as opposed to starting right up. The E, B, A, B strings is repeated too much in the same rhythm, imo, which 'cages' the song, if you know what I mean. . .it prevents it from going anywhere else. I think if you were to change up that rhythm a little bit, or change octaves with it once in a while (or both), you would give the song a lot more room to sway. Variety is key (especially for OCR ). The french horn that comes in seems a little weird with the reverb, not sure if there's just too much, or maybe it's just me, haha. . . in any event I would lower the EQ in the high range in that particular instrument just a LITTLE bit. It seems just a little 'scratchy' to me, lowering said EQ would probably fix that. The timpani rolls as a whole seem a bit stale, try crescending (?) those leading into the next phrase. The bass seems to me to bit a little too loud. . . turn your bass strings down maybe 2 or 3 (maybe even 4) notches in the mixer. Production other than that (and the french horn thing) is pretty damn good. Not sure I like the way the track ends, tho. It just seems to leave the track feeling empty, to end a song like this with an unresolved chord. . . It seems to me like it's unfinished. I think you could expand a lot more on the arrangement in continuing past what you have here. Those are my criticisms, very nice work here. I think it has potential for OCR with some fixing up and some more variation. Btw, this IS a 'remix,' not an original compo. At least, this is what OCR consideres to a 'remix,' rather than just a 'recorchestration' XD
  9. This is finished, and will be submitted to OCR within the hour, probably (as a re-submission, lol) http://tindeck.com/listen/qdly So Negima, you may now download XD Thank you to everybody who has provided me with feedback on this. You guys are the best : DDDDDDD
  10. http://tindeck.com/listen/eiwg Pretty sure this is done. XD I've finally got the EQ how I want it. Now watch me change it later. lol
  11. Thanks! I changed the EQ around, haha http://tindeck.com/listen/gbin Made the leads softer, and there's just overall better EQ.
  12. TGH

    Welcome to OCR! And thanks for the comment on my WIP! :D

  13. Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't read enough into the thread and didn't know there was a theme involved X( Anyway, my entry would not have fit the theme at all. . . I'm sorry again.
  14. I put everything through Parametric EQ2, and everything sounds a lot cleaner now. http://tindeck.com/listen/ypre (version 7) I also fixed some velocity issues with the piano. EDIT: Here's another update http://tindeck.com/listen/qoff Added a set of subtle, higher strings to the last half of the chorus. Also more adjusting with the velocity of the piano.
  15. First off, I think the synths in the beginning come off too harsh. Perhaps quiet them down, or have them fade to their full loudness gradually, while bringing in some other stuff later on in the intro. It just sounds really opaque, if you know what I mean. (There's also some dissonance in some of the early parts after the intro, watch out for that) I think that with a touch of reverb on your leads and some better EQ (i.e. turning down the ranges you don't want in each instrument, it would sound a lot better. (I'm no professional, but this is just coming from my personal experiences) In terms of the arrangement itself, I don't think there's enough variation in it. That main phrase is played way too many times throughout the mix. Here's what I like to do (and you don't have to do this, lol, this is just what I do when I'm having trouble with arrangement): Take the lead, or a slight variation of the lead, and see how many different chords/progressions you can make around that lead. Once you find a good chord progression, you can "let the song write itself." Lol not really, but you can find even different chords that work. Get what I'm saying?
  16. Lol really? Because I found them free on the internet. . . http://freesoundvault.com In the "Orchestra Combo" sf2 pack XD
  17. Thanks, man! These were all made with sf2s, btw. With a little reverb and the right EQ, you're golden pretty much. They're not the best samples in the world though, lol But. . . if you try orchestral, PLEASE don't stop making electronica I have some of your stuff on my mp3 player. Your "Iced Puppet" remix actually inspired me to attempt House the other day But anyway, I might sub this as is. Although I might wait a while, as I'm sure I'll find something wrong with it within the next few times I listen to it XD
  18. Thanks, NegimaSonic! Here's an update. . . this is v6 http://tindeck.com/listen/mdtr
  19. OK thanks, I'll probably do that tomorrow EDIT: Sorry, does it have to be an original composition? Or can it be a remix?
  20. Can anybody join? At all? If so, I'd like to enter with a piece
  21. .....Yes it is. Alright, looking back at this song and this thread. . . omg. Terrible. I remade it. http://tindeck.com/listen/owxy Source. Thoughts. Please. Blah. Thanks. ... -TGH
  22. You got it. Although I had never heard your song before making that intro, haha. . . It's actually an sf2 I used. Thanks a lot for the feedback, I will take into consideration what you said about lengthening the track. I will try to add a little something before the drum break as I (may or may not ) see fit. Thanks again!
  23. I have an update http://tindeck.com/listen/vdoc I would really appreciate feedback on this :DD Thanks, -TGH
  24. CRASHIN' TEH PAWTY ITZ MEGA MAN BABY (megaman's in teh housse) I'm sorry, I just had to make this "Duane and Brando" themed. I really REALLY like what you have going on here, with the funk/chiptune mixture. It works. Keep it. Although a bit more variation wouldn't hurt. Especially in the drumloops you use, they really stay pretty static throughout the whole song. Change it up a little. Add some glitch effects during the breaks (the filter effects on the drums might also be a little stale, but they're alright). I like how the remix builds, but the ending seems a little unresolved with just a filtered-out drumloop (again, change that up a bit). Try adding a final, resolved chord to the end of the mix, just to give it a sense of closure before the final filtered drums. My only other suggestion is to add just a touch. . . just a TOUCH. . . of reverb to your leads. Maybe like 15%, with a second of decay. I love your leads but they just seem a little bit dry. Wetting them up a bit will give the mix more depth. Well, that's it for my crits. Excellent job on this one, I would love to see this get posted once you fix it up a little. So. . . "QUIT MESSIN' AROUND" (it's all gravy. . . )
  25. I'm straying from my somewhat laid-back style here to try to create something a little (a lot) more agressive. I know it's short, but I'm willing to make up for that in whatever way I can. I'm fond of this arrangement the way it is, pretty much. http://tindeck.com/listen/jeqs - Remix (Here's a version with less treble, the other one had a bit too much http://tindeck.com/listen/orew) - Source if you need itThanks! -TGH P.S. See if you can guess who this was inspired by. (He's a remixer here)
