  1. Why don't I remember this dungeon? Oh. It's from Sky. >_> I didn't play Sky because it was essentially a Platinum of Mystery Dungeon. D<

    What I would suggest is making your volumes throughout dynamic. The parts where the flute plays the same note many times (such as 1:18) is a bit repetitive when it's played at the same volume each time.

    Also, the drums should be more humanized. If they sound like the person's arms aren't getting tired, then it's not realistic. xD

    For some reason I think this ocremix would be a good match for you to aim for in quality.

    Ahh thank you i shall study this intensively :)

    I will say though i have since reuploaded this to youtube with a little work having been done on the drums, i was hoping this thread would die so i could repost it. The term 'remaster' oesn't even stand anymore, that was just my intention when i posted a while ago :P

  2. You can hear it if you're on headphones. :) There's kind of a phaser effect throughout the quiet section, and some low pads. Then there's an oscillating 8-bit synth.

    The bass that comes in IS quite high, though. Lower that to about 60% its original, and pump up the other stuff. Bass shouldn't be overwhelming.

    Not to shoot you down in flames >< But i have a pretty good set of headphones and the levels were still an issue :(

    Don't get me wrong it's still an awesome track :)

  3. I really like the feel of this track, i mean i REALLY like it, it's kinda neo-futuristic, but retro at the same time.

    I'm a really big Pokémon fan but this is not one of my favourite source tracks, however i do approve of this remix haha.

    I love the Lunar Knights-esque breakbeats at around 1:50.

    But the levels.. :| The levels need sorting, it felt like there was no lead, like it was building up to something that never happened.

    Nice track though :)

  4. Well firstly, i'm afraid i'm not very knowledgeable on software, i've always stuck to the same program so i don't know much about others.

    The mix is very interesting, it has a lot of potential in the way it's arranged, the problem is the instruments (Some of them) sound a bit stale, particularly the brass. I tend to stay away from brass synths and samples because i just don't think they sound very good.

    I really like the Metroid source for this it was a great choice. The trouble is, i can't tell whether you're going for a deep brooding sort of thing with this, or whether it's sort of building up to be dramatic.

    So yeah the arrangement is very good, you might want to focus on velocity and slight pitch bend to make it sound more human though.

    I'd like to hear this again :)

  5. Thank you very much for the feedback :D I understand if you're not a fan of the song in general, but i'm thrilled you got the celtic vibe, that's exactly what i was going for. I'll make sure to turn the drums up a bit :)

    I know it's all a bit conservative, i just wanted it to be a bit of fun ^^

    Thank you for commenting even though you don't like the source :)

  6. I wasn't sure at first what the source was, but when i clicked the link and Donkey Kong Country 2 popped up, i actually smirked. Nostalgia trip and a half.

    So anyway, after a 30 second hit i listened to yours, and it's pretty amazing to be fair. I wouldn't have faulted it but then i read Gario's comment about the lead at 0:56, and now it's slightly bugging me :?

    That's just personal preference though it all sounds solid.

    I loved the rain by the way, i'm a sucker for weather effects in songs haha

  7. Yeah i saw this on Soundcloud actually!

    I'm actually not familar with the source track, although many moons ago i was a big Tenchu fan.

    This is so chill, i can imagine sitting in a Manhattan condo sipping martini to this. Really funky and mellow, i can't fault it.

    If i tried to fault it, i'd say that some of the piano sounds just a tiny bit drowned out at around 2:30 onwards, but it's still just fine. I really can't fault it haha

  8. First of all, this is beautiful, absolutely amazing. In fact, it's possibly one of the best Final Fantasy 7 remixes i've ever heard. It's just so pretty.

    You've absolutely nailed the violin, it just makes this piece.

    Contrary to popular belief i actually like the piano in this. The guitar, violin and piano just all work together really well.

    I was wondering though, how would this whole track sound without the support strings in the background? I'd really like to hear that, because they sound a little overbearing and i'm wondering how a minimalistic approach might sound.

  9. Omg i love this game with a passion (Just thought i'd tell you that haha) I really like what you've gone for here, a very unusual source choice as well hehe ^^. In theory this has a heap of potential, the only problem is that piano. I understand working with samples is difficult, i do the same. To make it sound less static you could change the velocity of the notes, it takes a while to get it sounding just right, but it makes such a difference, and can be totally convincing.

    Listening to it, i just think the samples are unconvincing, that's not your fault though, i'd just think about using a different program... what program are you using?

    But you shouldn't give up on this because Pokémon Mystery Dungeon needsmoar love, and this particular mix is very unique.
