    Undertale - Spider Dance Remix

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Posted

    Thanks for the feedback guys! The use of the chiptune style melodies similar to the original was a personal stylistic choice, because I just love that sound and try to reference it in all my tracks and remixes.

    The artwork I had commissioned specially for this track, my friend did a great job drawing it :)

    Dragon Force (Sega Saturn) - Apostle of an Evil God Remix

    I've been working on this remix on and off for about 2 years. It's finally starting to sound finished.

    It's a remix of the Apostle of an Evil God theme from strategy RPG Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn. 

    I'm hoping to submit this track to OCRemix when it's finished so would love to hear your thoughts on it!

    Pokemon Red / Blue Trainer Battle (Electro House Remix)

    Hey OCR! 

    It's been a while since I last posted here. So thought I'd share one of my VGM remixes and see what everyone thinks:

    https://soundcloud.com/mykah/its-super-effective-pokemon-red-blue?in=mykah/sets/super-remix-2-turbo-knuckles

     

    This is a remix of the trainer battle music from Pokemon Red and Blue that I made using a combination of sampled drums and the excellent Plogue's Chipsounds VST.

    Feedback is much appreciated!

    Dune II: Battle for Arrakis - Turbulence (Mykah Electro Remix)

    New version (hopefully final):

    Changes:

    Did a lot of work on the main lead to make it more interesting and greater automation of it throughout the song.

    Added some reverb effects over the breakbeat bit.

    Added a kick drum roll and bassline roll over the second half of the breakdown, which I think sounds rather intense and nice now.

    I did consider your suggestion to have the second drop as a different drum beat but in the end decided to just keep this mix primarily house. Mostly because another remix I'm working on alternates between drum beats in such a fashion and I don't want both tracks to be too similar :)

    Oh yeah, FM is most definitely difficult to understand... well, if you look at it from a technical standpoint. I think of it as just speeding up a wave until it starts creating a buzzy sound, and then that gets filtered and modulated further with some subtractive synthesis.

    Sub bass? Wat is dis sub bass dat u speek of? :< I just boost bass frequencies to get enough sub bass frequencies. ;)

    Yeah, definitely. I try not to start too many. Two of them are almost done (1 collab, 1 solo), 1 is a little less done than almost done (collab), 1 is just started (solo), and 1 has yet to be contributed to (collab). :-o

    EDIT... Darn it DDRKirby. Now you've got me inspired to start a 6th one, this time on something specifically Mario.

    EDIT2: Oh right. I had another one I meant to go back and fix before submitting to OCR. So I guess that's 6 or 7. xD

    Yeah that's a good way to think about FM synthesis, you can even see the waveform changing in FM8 as you add oscillators and modulation.

    For sub bass, I use a separate synth to my main bassline, and it's generally a extra low sine wave. It basically means you can mix the sub and mid bass separately to each other.

    Yep, controlling how many projects you start is definitely a good skill to learn. I've not learned it yet, I literally start a new project whenever the idea for a tune comes to me, already started a few hundred this year.

    Collabs are a good way to get tracks finished, all the collab'ers can shout at each other to get it finished haha. I need to do some more collabs really. Though hopefully one of my current OCR potential submissions will be accepted :)

    I gotta say, that source is awesome! Dat FM bass.

    Great sound design on the remix. I can't say any more because soundcloud is crashing like crazy on this iPad. :|

    Makes me want to go and remix it... and add to the 5 remixes I have going on at once.

    I love FM synthesis, it's hard as hell to understand though. I did toy with the idea of using the original bassline in my remix but decided it just didn't have the punch I required and got drowned a bit by my sub bass and leads.

    Here's the updated version of my remix, now pretty much finished:

    Haha tell me about it, I've got about 60 tracks on my 'to finish' list and counting 8O It's all to easy to start new projects, not so easy to finish existing ones!
