Just submitted. Thanks for your comments and help. Many of you have affected how I will arrange in the future. -Nathan

I want to tweak the kick and see if I can get a hair more out of my limiter. Look for a copy in your mail-box sometime this weekend. Glad you like it so much! -Nathan

For your mod review goodness. http://www.purevolume.com/nathanmcwilliams Chiptune http://ocremix.org/song/810 Thanks you select few who re-commented on the finished mix. The comments did help as I was touching up the mastering. Some of your comments were excellent, but I didn't incorporate... simply because I want this track to be done and I am a bit too far downstream to change composition without having to re-mix and re-automate the tracks. I will or will not do that pending mod review. That being said, they will DEFINATELY affect how I compose in the future. Thanks again to those who helped the process. -Nathan _____________________________ Background if you're interested... I programmed this all in the Cubase Midi editor, then used Cubase to play back each track individually through the keyboard MIDI engine. I recorded the analog output of the keyboard for mixing, then I bounced each analog track down to a 2 track stereo recording.

I got my act together and worked on this one a little bit. http://www.purevolume.com/nathanmcwilliams The comments were quite helpful, and they definitely drove the re-development of this song. I think this one is at about 95%, I am expecting to do mixing and mastering changes before Mod Review but not much else. Any more comments would be warmly welcomed. _____________________________ Background if you're interested...

Chris, I have a work in progress for you for Shoury's Theme. Don't know what I am going to call it because it is still in early development phase (rough or non-existant transisitions, poor mix, unscored sections). However, I noticed you needed some work in progress stuff for the application so I thought I would toss you what I have and see if it is up to snuff enough to make the app look better. I also wanted to make sure that I had a proper claim staked on this track. I know you had mentioned wanting more up-tempo stuff, but this one just hasn't been coming out that way. I will leave you to decide what to do with it if you think this just isn't going to work with the feel of the album. I think its coming out nicely, but just wanted to disclaimer that. I have a concept for Hayato's theme too, but I haven't even started on that one yet. I am pretty excited about that one, and I am pretty sure that will fit more in the up-tempo fighter game style. I have been a little consumed by Shoury's lately so I havent done much else. I have even put off finishing my Pokey remixing. You know how it goes when you get stuck on something. Let me know how you want me to get it to you. Its a 1.5MB mp3 and its about a minute and a half long. -Nathan

Hey there, I am interested in possibly jumping in on this. I might be able to take a song or two but I wondered what your goal for completion is. I am not a really quick worker and I have full time job on top of that. My Pokey remix was an investment of a good 100 hours... granted that was a very complex source to begin with, but I am still new in the game here (and new to some of my gear). I am thinking a reasonable finish date for a song from me might be September or October. If that still works for you let me know. I am most interested in the following... 1. Shouryu's Theme 2. Hayato's Theme

Thanks man. Its not quite done yet, but when its done, I will be happy to send you a copy if you like. Peek back in on the thread from time to time and remind me when I post a finished product and I will make sure you get a copy.

Thank you all for your helpful and encouraging comments. I was a bit nervous posting my remix because I know so little about the culture and I didn't know how I would fit here. I set a goal to get a song accepted by the judges, but I think that the process I will go through, with a community like this, could really help improve my skills. I am not a quick worker, and work (the kind that pays the bills) occupies a lot of time lately, but I will try to repost here sometime soon. Thanks again, -Nathan

Whoops, here is a link to the chip tune in case anyone was wondering what I was remixing. http://ocremix.org/song/810

Remix of Earthbound "Pokey Means Business!" can be found as the top song of the web-based music player at the following link. http://www.purevolume.com/nathanmcwilliams I am pretty new to this site but have been wanting to submit for a while. I have been working on this first attempt for a few months now. I would love to hear some feedback. _____________________________ Background if you're interested...

It hasn't really been mastered yet, just some rough MBC and Limiting, so this track is a little quieter than the final will be.
