  1. I personally think a Modern Rock song, or even a stripped down version (Guitar + Vocals) would be cool. I would take any chance I could get to sing Darkness and Starlight to my girlfriend. Just a thought though. Feel free to do whatever. Also, are you offering the different movements of Dancing Mad as individual tracks? And are you offering duplicate tracks? That could change the synergy of the project entirely.
  2. There's no need to do it all. If you fix up a bit each time, it will theoretically get better! Honestly, all I can denote about it now. Is that the bassline sometimes dominates a wee bit too much. Don't take offence if I'm COMPLETELY wrong, but have you EQ'd? Also, the lead in vibrato gets annoying after a while. At some points, you may want to make it smooth. Trust me, anything to get it more likely to pass the panel is a good thing. Good luck with this. - Callum
  3. I've gotta say something man. I was looking at taking a track. FF6 is one of my favourite games. EVER. But looking at the communication and synergy you have going... not likely. You're just going to drive people away if you're gonna be so uptight about everything. If I've learned anything through Music, it's that deadlines and good organisation comes after having fun and enjoying music. Plus, you can't co-ordinate the project from these forums, so posting WIPs here is a bad idea. Darkesword will totes destroy us all. Much love. - Callum kis kis
  4. Just listened to it. Pros: The percussion sounds really good. The lead (erhu?) sounds quite profesh. A bit after the claps kick in, the harmonising lead is sick nasty! Cons: The harmonising backing parts need to blend nicer. The lead (erhu?) needs to be far more Legato, especially if it's Erhu. It's one of the qualities of the instrument. The claps just ruin the feel that is present everywhere else. Change them to Taiko or something. The source needs more variation. I enjoy it, but you should try going somewhere else with it at times. Though, even though the cons outweigh the pros at the moment, I'm sure you can take this somewhere excellent! For a first ReMix, this is excellent. Everyone has gotta start somewhere and it looks like you've got some real talent. Can't wait to see how this turns out!
  5. I've never been able to scream so vocalist is definitely not my calling here. Haha I would definitely be interested in guitar if you need it however. I play all kinds. Everything from Jazz to Symphonic Neoclassical Metal. Haha
  6. Now it makes sense. HahaGood luck with that, will you be playing all of the instruments/singing or are you in need of musicians?
  7. My favourite thing to do to help work on cool licks is easy. They're all in my head, I just practice singing cool melodies and then try playing them on the guitar. After a while you don't even have to sing them to get them onto the guitar. It helps for more melodic soulful soloing, not so much for shredding. I'm not much of a shredder anyway, it has it's place, and that's not with me.
  8. Okay first off. You'll need to make it longer in my opinion. Three minutes is where I would gladly let a ReMix sit. The build up and to 0:27 is really good. Enjoyable stuff man. The "F" in the melody of the next phrase doesn't fit the key. Try making it an "E". Unless you're using some interesting mode or whatevs. 0:40, all is really good, except the lead synth sounds too harsh. 0:55 another lead comes in imitating at an octave higher, perhaps a harmony could improve this section. It's worth a try. 1:08 things really pick up this section is good. 1:30 Wow, this feels weird on the first listen. You must have shifted the tonality, it can get weird. 1:50, things pick up again, I like this section. 2:03, that lead really has to go. It's too harsh for this. Everything else is far too ambient to have it spoiled like that. I'll admit that while I think it's too short, that ending works well. Hopefully this helps. Can't wait to hear the finished result!
  9. Kinda keen to take Rock Rock Mountain and make it a synthy classic rock song. Vocals a'course. This project is kinda similar to VROOM, the SEGA racing one. So perhaps you could find a few ideas/mixers from there. I haven't got a lot of time on my hands at the moment thought sorry. My family is just about to move to another country, so I'll be without my music recording computer/internet access for several weeks. If you can live with that then I'd love to take the track.
  10. Listening to this again. Perhaps the opening could be stronger with either a fade in or an abrupt intro. ie. Beethoven Symphony #3 Eroica First Movement - Allegro Con Brio With a reverse cymbal leading up to abrupt intro it instantly shocks the listening into listening. Just an idea. At 0:40 it went exactly where it needed to go. The lead is great there. At 1:00 it also went in the exact right direction. At 1:14 you could tone down the drum beat and add more ambience. For a reflective feel. At 1:23 it's great but you could make the bassline louder and maybe closer to the source. I feel like it's a bit different. I might be wrong though. At 1:40 it leaped back out, but perhaps it could have been louder and more punchy. 2:06 is perfect. Exactly what was necessary. At 2:22 that lead is one of the highlights of the piece, perhaps you should take away the drums. That way, when it goes back into the drums (Maybe even louder), it's more punchy in comparison. 2:47. Perfect. Just the thing it needed. Perhaps that last chord could have been held. The sweeping sound combined with that chord would have sounded cool while ringing out for a bit longer. Hope this helps. Can't wait to see what you end up with!
  11. As a big fan of Folk Metal, I'll say that yeah. This sounds quite good. When you move into the Dream on the Shore of Another World however, I feel like it loses some of the originals feeling. I may just be the harmonies of the violin and flute/whatevs it is. Either way, I really enjoyed it. The only problem I can see arising is that if you're gonna follow the melody for vocals... be wary. I prefer when I write vocals, to find a new melody line to add some variation to the source and make it my own. Some things are well suited to following the melody line however, catchy parts can become Choruses. Hope this helps. I can't wait to see what you get in the end.
  12. Thanks man. It should go fine. Plus I've got a rough WIP on the way. Hopefully I can get it to you by the end of today. Arguably I didn't put tonnes of effort into the quality, just the arrangement. I know it was a joke. I just like gravy.
  13. Sad Tuberz is Sad Yeah, the obvious way to take it, I dunno, I could have seen it turned into trance or something. But I suppose I could easily be wrong considering my lack of synthetic instrumentation logic. Haha I'll try and get you a rough WIP really soon. Because I'm moving country on the 16th. And will not have my music computer/internet access. This will probably be for three weeks. But I have ideas in my head already.
  14. Hey, I was wondering if I could perhaps take FF5 - Musica Machina. I'm thinking of doing it in an Industrial Nine Inch Nails/Old Linkin Park style. Not sure if you're into that or if I'll have to supply some work. But I'd love to take the track in that direction. I may also incorporate other themes like the Fire Powered Ship and such because Musica Machina is quite scarce in terms of source material. Is that cool? Are we gravy?
  15. Yeah, money is scarce when you're a musician regardless. Haha Thanks for looking into it though. I would be totally down for a collab, your folky instruments sound awesome!
  16. Good game guys. Now let's all shout profanities at each other in the lobby.
  17. I call his computer. Doesn't need it if he's dead right? But yeah. In my timezone it's evening of Boxing day. Woo~ Glad I was able to help. But Mirby was the valued high Attack, high HP character that ALWAYS KOs the last boss. EDIT: Hold up. If I do more reviews... do I just end up stabbing his corpse?

Not too shabby. Might do more later. And there was no forcing of it Rexy. I enjoy your work, so I thought I'd let you know that. And of course Mushihimesama had to be Danmaku. Games aren't as hard as them nowadays.
  19. This Mix is so saddening. I feel connected with the bareness of the opening. It only helps that the piano that comes in makes the sadness even harder to bear. at 1:25 the whistling with insane reverb makes me feel a little bit happier. Like I'm gazing at the sunset or something stereotypical like that. At 2:17 it just improves, expanding. This continues through the piece. The dynamic increases and it has an almost reminiscent feeling that courses through me. The worst part about this mix, is that it had to end.
  20. All I've gotta say is DAT BASS it makes me pumped every time I hear this. Then after a playful melody line the guitar comes in. She can has long prog metal leeeds. 1:53 just brings hilarity at the fun playful Jazziness. This whole album is about playful melodies and having fun with the music. Which is EXACTLY what has happened here. And you thought that was an ending at 3:00? Nope. He was just warming up.
  21. Up until 0:20 this is quite haunting. Then it just gets grand, resembling a large film score. The quality is excellent! The arrangement is also quite fantastic. 1:17 brings frightening feelings to mind. This is quite a dark piece. I must be drawn to all of these dark and mysterious ReMixes. Because I enjoy them a lot. At 2:10 it hits the fan. Breaking down again at 2:40 in a way reminiscent of Threnody by Krysztof Penderecki. All in all. This is a horrifically good piece.
  22. This is one of my favourite tracks on Harmony of a Hunter. It's frighteningly weird. It's like something out of a horror story. Most Metroid music goes willingly in one of two directions. Metal. or Synthy Horror Abstractness. This is the latter. Of which I am glad. This mix is great for Halloween. 'Nuff said.
  23. I'm not big on dubstep. I really don't like it. But regardless, this ReMix really steps outside Dubstep enough for me to really enjoy it. That's one thing I'm quite glad for. I can enjoy the Mix because it doesn't restrict itself to WUBBING everywhere. I think the places it was used actually were strategic and quite clever. A lot of people don't like this mix. I don't see why. I don't like Dubstep and I think it's just fine.
  24. I love the expression. The big fast arpeggios are really fun to listen to! I love the dynamics and their variety throughout the piece. It makes me think of Romantic Era music. The performance isn't 100% perfect, but that adds to the realism in my opinion. Everything just works to make this piece come alive. My only complaint. Too short! I want more!
