Happy Birthday.

Thanks man. I actually figured out the solution is just...better song choice. The keys and tempos are so different that I have to really speed them up to get the groove similar. That doesn't solve the whole major to minor with no transition chord problem. So I've told my friend that we will have to try songs which are similar in tempo and all that jazz to mix with it instead. Then her project will really sound killer. I was practicing beat matching and crossfading with other songs and it worked pretty sweet!

I'll be honest, I don't know much about slap playing, but if you can make that classic funk "slap and pop" type bass sound that's perfect. I should have my initial ideas for the start of the arrangement to you guys tomorrow! Then we can add and make changes from there. Also, I don't know how dropbox works yet (I'll have to read more).

I desperately need to link 3 songs together. All of which are in different keys and tempos. I would provide youtube links if I could, but the tracks are instrumental and they didn't come with artist names. The first track needed to run for 30 seconds, then be cut off and go into the next one. I accomplished that because at the 30 second mark, the song landed on this big reverb hit. So I pitch shifted that track to the relative minor key of the next track. It worked not bad. However, the second track needs to end at the 1:30 mark approximately, then go into the final track. Making this happen is extremely difficult and pitch shifting the final track doesn't work. I figure an effect could blend the final two tracks, but I have NO IDEA how to make such an effect. In general, what are some methods DJs use to put three different songs one after another and make it sound natural without adding in any original composition etc? I mean, I can make medleys if I make the songs from scratch, because then I'm in control of composition, arrangement etc., but doing that is sadly not an option with this project. Any tips are much appreciated

While I'm not disagreeing with your point, people are already skeptical enough about "donating to charity." With anything. Even if you aren't making profit, I'm sure selling physical copies of a Castlevania album for money without a license is more than enough to possibly light the fuse on Konami's tampon.

Definitely Shtyle into it! Can you play slap bass style too? I do now!

Awesome! I'm workin' right now on like an intro part to show you guys and then we can go from there!

Same, on both FLAC and MP3.

Downloading now. If you disappoint me....

JETMOTO 2!!! We could throw in some slickrock gorge or something. If this mix turns out badass, and if we got it on OCR, I could pass it along to Chuck Meyers (Twisted Metal 1 composer) not sure if he did Jet Moto 2 as well. I'd have to ask. Probably, since Lance Lenhart was on that soundtrack too. I'm not sure if showing a composer "hey, we covered your song even though we don't own any copyright etc" is a good idea or not. Anyways, you know I love your stuff Gar, welcome aboard. EDIT: So far this puts MetalMan and I on guitars, Gar on bass, and if he's still up for it, Mak doin' drums and mix.

You're SOR and I'm FF....while we can never truly be friends because of that, I'm willing to put aside that and say, I fuckin' love this. It has a night-time, funky groove goin'. I love that. The guitar gives it a great edge too! Feels kinda like 80s or 90s action film music!

Dude, I'm a fan of your work. You don't suck. If you wanna do drums and or mixing/mastering that's great! That would certainly be a departure from the original lol.

Well, my initial idea was me and one other guitarist could play the song. Like one guitarist's rhythm on left, the other on right and then trade-off between lead playing, but it would probably be more fun with more guitarists....hmmmm. I could PM and ask other OCR guitarists to contribute. Though I'm not sure who is likely to collab. It doesn't have to be strictly guitar driven though, if there is anyone else who plays an instrument and thinks it could work, let me know. I suppose if I come up with a little bit of the track and post it, that might get more ideas flowing. Also, mixing the TM2 theme in there is possible!

*Facepalm* I can't believe I didn't post the sources. Mainly it's based off this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPd7XKXLs0 The part just before the solo is a variation of the bridge in this EDIT: Switchin' to Mod-Review. I've also added the finished version of the remix to the original post.

I wanna collaborate with some people to do a remix of this and possibly with some other song(s) included. Preferably another guitarist who hungers only for the taste of rock, someone who's good at mixing and mastering, and if possible, a bassist.I'm open to any suggestions regarding what to do with this. All I know for sure is that it's a bitchin song, I jam along with it several times a week and it should totally be done. What say you?

Thanks! Yeah I've noticed Final Fight doesn't get enough respect!

All I see there is castlevania, I'm talking about the game "Clocktower".

Good list! I've long desired to make a clocktower rock arrangement...."Rock out with your clock out."

Thanks for the feedback! http://soundcloud.com/angelcityoutlaw/final-fight-venom-in-her-veins There's a new one. Note that I did not do the mixing for this one, a friend of mine did. Anyway, tell me what you think of this one. Lol...I prefer to let people find that one out on their own.

Not anymore! http://soundcloud.com/angelcityoutlaw/final-fight-venom-in-her-veins
