I would be more than glad to do some tracks for Smash Bros. Crusade. Just let me know.

After playing Somyeol, I've noticed the songs in the game have a very "keep on trucking" kind of feel to them. Would the majority of the songs need to keep this same feeling from the predecessor?

Although this is very early, I really enjoyed this. I do like the start of the song with a subtle treble and mid chiptune only. Keep up the good work. It would be really nice later with some pumping compression and maybe even side-chaining.

Okay then, I will vote later. I'm really glad too, it will be cool to see more remixes.

I've been looking for quite a while, but I can't seem to find the best midi controller pads. I really like the look of launchpad and midi fighter pro, but they aren't velocity sensitive. Maschine MK2 Groove looks nice, but it's really expensive. What are some of the best midi pads like those, but velocity sensitive for a reasonable price? (By the way, I use Reason 5 and Cubase 5 if it makes a difference.)

Thank you guys for responding so quickly. Professional drummers are really amazing, especially how some can throw in fills so quickly and naturally, but still fall back into a steady pace. Good times man.

This makes so much sense, thank you Snappleman. Quantizing is great with more of an electronic feel, but you're exactly right about it taking the feel out of the rhythm. What do you generally do if you were to record a natural sounding rhythm section? The tempo map changing is a great idea. I never really thought about how tempo is just merely a perception, that's a really interesting way to think about it. What kind of beat detectives are there?

I have this problem when writing in sequencers. I like rhythms to sound naturally made, like having a live drummer play within a track. I find a lot of times that the drums will sound fine, but start to get slightly out of time with all of the other instruments, especially when some of the instruments are written to cue off of the drums. I try quantizing, even just by a slight 5% and the quantizing takes all natural feel off of it. I thought about just analyzing the rhythms and moving them by adding or subtracting amounts from midi's location placement. Is there any other way of making drums sound studio quality, but still natural?

Woolyss has a great collection of vsts for chiptunes. It even has Commodore64 vsts. http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-plugins.php

As a trumpet player, the note is possible on trumpet. But, the growl might be what is making that high note sound a little fake, it sounds as if the trumpet is cutting out from playing too high, which is usually not possible. On trumpet it's either play the note or not play it/crack it. The growl/flutter tongue on the high note would sound much more apparent and would be very noticeable. I love this, this awesome Luiza. This is great and I like the trumpet you have. It has a very jazzy and expressive tone. I can't wait to hear more of this.

This is really nice with great blending of orchestra and electronic synths. I've been looking forward to this one and I know why.

I've got a WIP for the underwater level if you want to hear it Uhhh. Just let me know and I'll send it to you.

Hey Uhhh, is this project still moving?

My vote: 1. Kamek (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Story) 2. Bayonetta (Bayonetta) 3. Marth (Fire Emblem)

I love the compressed bass drum. The parts where the bass drum suddenly gets faster is a little empty sounding, and the bass drum parts at around 2:15 could have an accompanying synth with it to make the bass drum beats sound a little smoother when the beats are being divided. The quiet synth around 3:08 is very interesting, I like the quiet yet loud drums feel to it. Then the heavy delayed synth comes in. Personally, the bass synth does not sound all that bad, but if you are going for the heavy pump feel, a much heavier bass synth could do the trick. But, the treble feel you have right now is very different and interesting. You could throw some of your own melodic accompaniments too to put your own spin on it. Keep at it, I hope to see this on the remix submission.

Forrent has a very Asian sound to it. I like how you use the Asian sound and put chromatic drops to it. It kinda gives it a blues like sound, but keeping the Asian flare to it. It is very catchy. Thank you for sharing it.

If you get an m-audio 49, make sure to get semi-weighted keys if that's your thing. It feels a lot nicer sometimes to have a natural feeling with your keyboard. It can make it easier to play other keyboard instruments later too. Whatever floats your boat though. I really like Fly with Me. It has some interesting chords to it. I felt welcomed when listening to it. I really liked it though and I have to say the artwork for it is really nice. Thanks for sharing this.

Plaid muffins on My Name's Booster! Zyko on sad song! Heck yeah! I know Palpable is on the tracklist, but it would be cool if Flickerfall got back together. Not to push on anyone, just hinting at what could be awesomeness.

Has anyone ever wanted to go on an underwater journey along the vast ocean floor and experience the life of the sea? This is a song about that very same idea. I hope everyone likes it, I made it in one day. It is a little ambient. https://soundcloud.com/darkbrandflake11/under-the-waves-and-water Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Alright! Time for this to mod-reviewed. Throw me your worst! I've put out another WIP, but it could be a final if everyone thinks so. Tell me what you think. https://soundcloud.com/darkbrandflake11/crash-bandicoot-ruined-scape

Hello, awesome name by the way. The arrangement is nice sounding, but right from the start the piano sounds a little on the muddy side. The piano and even the instruments surrounding the arrangement sound as if they could be from the Super Nintendo game. The bass is maybe a little too loud, especially when the bass drum comes in. Also, your arrangement could have a little bit of improvisation, some of your own feel to it. Instead of going straight with the source, try to mix your own ideas into the arrangement. Experiment with the source and try to put some aspects in the arrangement you would approve. With OCRemix, your own ideas is what will make your remix stand out from everyone else's. Keep working with it and remember you do not have to stay strictly with the source. Do something experimental if you want. Thanks for sharing, this is some nice piano playing.
