Top 100 Greatest N64 Songs of All Time!
jnWake replied to GreatGonzales's topic in General Discussion
I can't believe you'd call Paper Mario a bad soundtrack. It intentionally uses "toy-like" sounds to fit the look of the game and many of the compositions are very complex. Anyway, it comes down to opinions -
Genesis - And Then There Were Three (the album) In particular, . Simply incredible song.

How do you feel towards your own music?
jnWake replied to Bejack's topic in Music Composition & Production
I like my music. I've been writing music for a decent amount of time so I'm pretty happy with my arranging skills, which doesn't mean I don't try to learn new stuff whenever I can! Almost every time I listen to music I notice stuff that I don't do in my music and then try to incorporate it into my style. I'm not as happy with my mixing though, I don't think it's horrible but there's a noticeable difference between how my songs sound and songs produced by people with more experience do... But I'm working on it and hopefully I'll share my completely original music here sometime! -
Earthbound has some weird ones: .Also, Pikmin games have strange tunes: .

I'm curious about what new measures you plan on taking. Are you planning to alter the submission process a bit or alter the amount of votes for songs to be approved/rejected? EDIT: Also, as a somewhat related note @sambarugh. Evaluating stuff takes time, and even if the comparison may seem ridiculous, just look at how much time it takes academic research papers to get published. It's obviously not the same, but it shows that even when people are being paid, it's hard to coordinate a judging/publishing system! EDIT 2: It seems djp messed up and made a thread public that shouldn't be public in the judges forum? It's even stickied haha.

OCR02922 - Mega Man Soccer "Hope Never Walks Alone"
jnWake replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Haha I didn't notice the pun in there actually, I just meant that most Mega Man songs are rock-ish by nature Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the song despite some production flaws it has here and there. Mixing metal and 8 minute songs is though -
OCRI-0002 - Futebol Arte: World Cup Tribute EP
jnWake replied to Liontamer's topic in Album Reviews & Comments
Awesome! I'm listening to the tracks now and it's pretty cool, especially considering how fast it was made. -
I'll keep my claim, but don't expect much from me soon since I have an injured finger.
-
I hope you guys enjoy my song when it releases. I tried my best to represent the Mega Man Soccer OST haha.

I love the sound of the clean guitar at the intro, it goes along nicely with the piano. It gets a bit too messy when more instruments enter though, it feels like they are competing for the spotlight. It's hard to appreciate the guitar playing the main melody since it's almost the same notes that the piano and the other guitar are playing. It sounds a lot better when you switch to the distorted guitar, finally stands out! I love the mood of this remix, a very fresh take at this song! I think that with some mixing polish this one could be incredible.

finished The Infin8 Option (MarioKart 8 Option theme Mix)
jnWake replied to Rukunetsu's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I think I like every remix you make and this is no exception. The chord progressions are great, drums are awesome and I love how you sampled the synth thing from the game. Just amazing! -
wip The Epic Rainbow Road Piano Medley (MarioKart)
jnWake replied to Bowlerhat's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Why is the piano panned hard left? It's also very quiet in volume. The arrangement is cool, I like the 3/4. There are some parts where the bass note sounds wrong though, but I'm not sure if that's how you arranged it or if that was a mistake. It sounds very promising, but I can't really get a good feel of it with everything being panned hard left... Only criticism I'd have is that the arrangement is too homogeneous. You're doing a solo piano piece! Emphazise the stronger sections, speed up or slow down every once in a while! It sounds static. -
finished Star Fox - Corneria (Metal Cover)
jnWake replied to Luis Sáenz's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
I agree with Master Mi, the rhytm guitar is quiet, and in this style of music it has to sound powerful! The snare could use more brightness, it doesn't stand out too much. Playing is nice, and the arrangement is straightforward but good! -
Hahaha Baby Yoshi would be awesome. Imagine three of them stacked on top of each other trying to drive a car, it'd the cutest and most awesome member of the roster.

Yeah, the NSMBU "killer" (it still sold quite a bit) was NSMB2 because it made NSMBU feel a lot less special and it was also not received very well, which built some bitterness towards the NSMB brand. NSMBU was actually very good and introduced new stuff, but I can't believe they recycled the world themes, the music and the art style. I hope that after Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, the NSMB team feels challenged to do something new and interesting.

I figured the time now haha, I hope to see you online! EDIT: Nice races tonight! Pretty close ones with Lemon.
-
I may join you guys tomorrow if I can correctly guess the hour when you play. Damn timezones.

Bayonetta is October 2014.

Last "trailer" was just a tech demo. They said Zelda would have a different art style and this trailer looks better than the tech demo to some people. I wouldn't call it a downgrade, I think it looks very very good.
-
I guess it'd be better with a set time, I don't believe there are too many of us playing haha.
-
My favorite tracks are Mt. Wario and Dolphin Shoals. Both are beautiful stages. For online racing, Mario Circuit is surprisingly fun (all dat boosting) and Rainbow Road is kind of cool too, very challenging. Retro tracks are cool too, I love Toad's Turnpike and Tick Tock Clock in particular.

Best credits theme ever, feels almost like they were jamming lol.

Seriously this game is awesome. I've played so much today lol. I'm so proud of this online win haha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EOkFKgdw7U .

I expect them to allow GCN controllers for a few games. HD remakes of GCN remakes are also very obvious with that. I'm hyped lol.
