OCR04730 - Kirby's Dream Course "Funky Mountain Peaks"

Ooh, nice and quirky stuff going on with the pitchy synth at the beginning. Reminds me a bit of Mazedude's stuff. Pretty cool jam! -
OCR04732 - Pokémon SoulSilver Version "Gold Soul"
timaeus222 replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Lots of cool textures going on here! I'd imagine there were at least 30 layers. I really liked the bells/vibraphone! Cool solo section at 3:10 as well! -

Here are some of my recommended tools I've used the most (I'll mark which ones were already mentioned as "*"): Drums (Libraries) - *ISW Shreddage Drums Heavocity Damage Drums (Samples) - I always go back to these Platinum Percussion (great for world music) BHK D&B Rough Connections Vol. 4, Bladerunner Dread Drum & Bass (for fast music) Equipped Music - Smoker's Relight Vol. 1, Vol. 2 (for Downtempo music) Black Octopus Leviathan (for hardcore EDM) Goldbaby Drums (MPC60 Vol. 1-3, When Alien Drum Robots Attack Vol. 1-2, for general use) Synths - I always go back to these *u-he Zebra2 (for practically ALL of my music honestly) *Xfer Records Serum (mostly for dubstep) Samples - 4Front TruePianos (physical model actually) *Spectrasonics Omnisphere, Trilian ISW PEARL: Concert Grand (truly an amazing Yamaha C7) ISW Resonance: Emotional Mallets (mostly for glassy percussion) Embertone Friedlander Violin and Blakus Cello (usually as solo instruments) OTS Evolution Acoustic Guitar (Steel Strings) Neo-Soul Suitcase (realistic electric piano, if I wasn't satisfied with just synthesizing that in Zebra2) Transitions (Samples) - I always go back to these ISW Juggernaut: Cinematic Electronic Scoring Tools Effects - u-he Uhbik (mostly "T" [tremolo] and "G" [granular]) *Guitar Rig Effects (free or nearly so) - Variety of Sounds Density MKIII (compressor), NastyDLA MKII (delay) *kiloHearts Essentials (most notably, Ring Modulator and Transient Shaper) ISW SNESVerb (SNES reverb emulator, $20) digitalfishphones endorphin (compressor) *dBlue Glitch v1.3 (free) and v2 ($60) Lofi Plus (bitcrusher; hard to find, let me know if you need a link) Sonalksis FreeG Stereo (Gate Plugin) Misc (free) - I always go back to these s(M)exoscope (spectroscope to check waveform loudness) *TDR Nova (Equalizer with Sum and Difference capabilities) TLs-Pocket Limiter (simple, soft knee limiter.

Cool to see. I've been using khinsider for video game OSTs myself. -

Looking forward to the great work you guys will bring! :-) Honestly, I did feel the same way about the Evaluators' position - this is a great change.
-
Ah, I loved making this! The tradeoffs from one key to another was my personal favorite part to write. I also think that this ReMix more-or-less defines my go-to sound palette today! I didn't look at any other songs for sound design inspiration in this case. I kept the sound design inspiration internal to what made sense for this ReMix.
-
I think he meant the shift into the solo having a change in tempo made it seem like the solo (regardless of instrument) came out of nowhere. But I understand that it can be read like that as well. --- I actually love this style you found for yourself, with a funky synth/guitar palette. Also love to see more Goemon ReMixes on the site. I have one in the pipeline from 2016. :-)

That's what I've always loved about OCR. Y'all care about human interpretation, performance realism, personal touch, and other aspects of music that go underappreciated by the casual listeners out there. At first I thought the perspective towards AI-generated music was because of that philosophy, but I do understand that there is also the bit about unethical training practices. Good to see OCR still going strong, and I hope to continue seeing real music coming out from real artists, using real production efforts and/or real studio time!
