This was the first song I heard on the site. It was disappointing to know this was one of the only Pokemon mixes at the time, but it was also better than anything you could find on Youtube, so I couldn't complain. Congratulations mister ProtoDome, with this song alone you had created another chiptune fanatic! The melody writing here is absolutely perfect. In fact, there's not really anything in this song that doesn't sound great IMO. It's catchy and cute - take my money! The fadeout didn't bother me that much either. It makes me laugh now because it seemed like your song wanted to go on longer, but it had to conform to the ProtoDome standards.

OCR01661 - Metroid Prime 3 "Yellow Valkyrie"
ad.mixx replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Great time sig change. The layering here is what really gets me every time, each effect on its own doesn't sound too impressive, but together everything sounds absolutely beautiful. The arrangement is really good too. Out of all three prime mixes, I'd have to say this one was your best. You really show your love for the original song here. Also nice bass writing. It's very catchy. -
OCR01507 - Metroid Prime 2 "Torvus Clockwork"
ad.mixx replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Really good remix here. I feel like the bass level may be a little strong on each pluck, at least on the low notes. It's doesn't bother me as the goes on, though. My favorite thing about this song is how every just melds together so well. The acoustic synth mixture just works so well, and is addicting to listen to. Again, really good mix. Thanks for making a Metroid Prime 2 mix, too. It needs more love! -
OCR01286 - Metroid Prime "Just a Little More (Prime Edit)"
ad.mixx replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love the arrangement. It definitely takes a simple is better approach IMO, and does well with keeping a calm mood, while still changing up throughout the song to keep things interesting. The harp coming in around 3:00 sounds beautiful. A great Phendrana remix. I would say that this song has had more influence over my style in music than most any other song on OCR, because it's just perfect by my book. -
OCR02024 - Kirby's Block Ball "Breakout"
ad.mixx replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I still love this song even after almost 2 years. I like to listen to music to help me relax and take a breather from life, and this song in particular really helped me get through some tough emotional times after moving away from my parents for college. Thank you so much for being persistent with this one and resubmitting it. This is easily one of my favorite songs on OCR. -
Just wanted to post to assure im still working on this. My charger crapped out, and a replacement shipment justcame in, but im going to be in louisiana until sunday, so wont be able to touch this until then. Sorry for updating this was such a crappy update. That reverb was a bad idea i see now. I think fatigue was the big issue, im trying really hard to get this sax to fit in with the song cause it just sounds so darn good, but im not as used to mixing live audio with alll electronic elements. Ill make sure to apply as much of yalls tips as possible (especially the bass issue which i now hear the issues) T hanks for all the posts by the way. Im going to make this sound as good as possible for OCR.

wip "Fantastically Undefined" - Touhou 12 (Medley)
ad.mixx replied to Kruai's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I'll let other people comment on this since DnB isn't my thing, but I do want to say I really like the sound you've got going here. Touhou is <3 so plus cookie amount for that. Thanks for making this! -
Sorry for not updating this in a while both to XPRT and everyone who really likes this song. I've been pretty musicless for the past few weeks, which sucks. But I'm gonna get back on track now. I tried something new with the Sax. I did bring it up a little more (in terms of reverb and loudness), but I added delay to it. Maybe it's just me but I really like the wide sound it has, but I'll just let you guys comment a little bit before I finally submit this. I might even have to bring the sax up a little more...but it's getting close, though! Also, doing this has made me realize how much mastering sucks. It's hard to keep the dynamics of the track while still making it loud for some reason. Hopefully there isn't any clipping I'm not hearing. https://www.box.com/s/d9w1mdw6k7kd92uwtumj edit: and I completely forgot! I'll add some drum fills in the submitted version to keep that aspect more interesting.

Happy birthday mr flexstyle!

Thanks a whole bunch to Joseph for pulling this out. He seriously rocked out! I want to go ahead and put this out here so I could get some new ears on the song. The sax sounds awesome, but I feel like I'm so used to the old sax sample that I don't know what sounds good anymore. So yeah. I feel like the chorus' may need more filling out, though. Like another synth or an electric guitar or something. I messed with the mixing since the last version too, so there's that. It's not as loud right now, but that'll be fixed once I can properly master it. https://www.box.com/s/kiw2lco0viq3vg781ygm

https://www.box.com/s/57xp66377r2k33tolrjh Right, right, right. So here's this song again. I just couldn't let it go by without trying it out once last time. I really want this arrangement to get passed onto OCR (it was already rejected by the panel), so I completely redid it up to my personal standards, and tried a few new things. It's a lot better, and honestly much, much better than I expected it. Maybe it could be a little louder or something, but right now I'm more focused on getting this saxophone right. I really want to get a saxophonist on this piece, and think I already have one lined up (but not entirely sure if they're still willing at the moment). Tell me what you guys think. I really like this song at the place it's at right now. There may be a few loudness or production issues atm, I haven't done a lot of EQ atm, but once that's done I feel like it'll be good to go (if I can get a good sax by then). Thanks for listening.

i'm really going to push to get that song finished for the lime project. sorry i've been out of touch, it's just honestly been off my mind for a while now.
i'm gonna push to get something finished this month, though. look forward to it.

wip Metroid Prime Phendrana Drifts Remix
ad.mixx replied to ad.mixx's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I finally updated this song. I'm debating on putting it on finish or not --- I just gotta figure out a better ending at this point, but I think I'm gonna wait until I get some opinions from you guys about mixing / whatever else is on ya'lls mind. It's pretty much done arrangement-wise though. I only spent about 6 hours on this song overall so it's not the best, but it sure was fun to make. -
(I have a song accepted on the judges list, so I think this is OK) http://urdailywater.bandcamp.com/album/far-away Hey ya'll, I've been working on this EP for the past year or so. It's basically a collection of original works and 2 remixes that I've had finished for a while now, and finally decided to release them on this nice, clean, free EP. This is very good chillout music - if you're just wanting to sit around and get lost in some music - this would be good music to do it to. The atmosphere is what makes the songs, and I really tried to focus on that over heavy beats or complex composition. It's all very minimalistic composition. It's not necessarily going to "wow" you, but that's not really the point, either. You'll probably find something you like, though. Take a listen, and be prepared to be taken far away! Thanks to Meteo Xavier for the artwork. Super awesome of you dude! http://www.meteoxavier.com/ P.S. Feel free to donate if you really like the music! I'm just a hobbyist, but you would be supporting a missionary / student in downtown Atlanta, so that would be cool. : D

In celebration of the winter, I decided to start up a Metroid remix. I'm still working on that Tales remix I posted a long time ago (the one where the stupid file got corrupted), but this is something sort of similar to that I wanted to share. I've still gotta figure out what to do with the intro, how to kind of build up to the song. Mixing may be a little awkward too - it's been a while since I've done mixing (or composition) of any sort, so sorry if it's kind of bad. Remix: https://www.box.com/s/vw2v67eumrgnjhamcyaf Source: Enjoy what I have so far. Hopefully this song and the Tales remix will be finished within the next month or so. Just need to actually have time to finish them D:

Why the heck not, I'll sign up as a star. I can do quite a few things pretty well, but I prefer to do chillout stuff more than anything. Atmosphere is the name of my game. Sound design and what not are super fun part of remixing. I also do pretty clean production - I like for everything to be heard well. Also, I've been super big into drum programming lately, so that's cool. FL Studio is pretty much all I use. I don't mind working with whatever - wav files, soundfonts, etc. As long as I technically can work with it I will. Some songs: https://www.box.com/s/lp9yr0fdaunyk0b4obnd (box link just because) (This is an example of me doing something "different")Oh yeah, and we get grouped together, try to schedule a time to work with me please. I've been super busy lately, and my schedule isn't always certain, but usually Saturday, Sunday, and Monday afternoons I'm free to get on skype or whatever.

Ideas on remixing shorter songs?
ad.mixx replied to Doombeard's topic in Music Composition & Production
You can do so much with music dude. Original solos, varying chords, changes to melody, drum arrangement, heck even just adding some atmosphere can do so much for an overall arrangement. Ive passed a 4 minute remix of a six second source on ocremix. Its not as hard as it sounds. Just be creative, i wouldnt worry about it sounding too different honestly. As long as the melody is recognizable, just do what sounds good to you. Its your arrangement after all. -

Mega Man X: The Grand Maverick Remix Battle 2012
ad.mixx replied to DarkeSword's topic in Competitions
I know the week only just begun... but the chances of actually getting in a song are looking slimmer and slimmer. Last week was supposed to be my busy week, didn't expect this one to be so busy too. -

Finally can't wait to start my song today. I've been listening to a lot of linkin park recently, so expect me to go back to hip hoppish beats this week. Excited. -
Mega Man X: The Grand Maverick Remix Battle 2012
ad.mixx replied to DarkeSword's topic in Competitions
Listening to them all, just realized my opponent didn't get a track in. That sucks Prophecy, finish your track! Not only is it awesome, but that name is too good. Might try and post mini reviews later this week if it's not too busy.
