Final version updated: http://soundcloud.com/jnwake/royal-coin Moving again to Mod Review. I did some changes to the piano, velocity stuff and changed the melodies a bit in the second repeat of the Figaro Castle Theme. EDIT: I wonder if this is ready for submission?

It's super rough! I made absolutely no edits to the samples (except for volumes of course) so don't judge the production quality yet I hope you people like the arrangement and you're free to offer suggestions/critiques or anything to the track (on the soundcloud page preferrably, to avoid cluttering this topic).

Many tracks from CC deserve more love. I hope the Ancient Dragon Fort song gets a cool remix, since I love its style.

I've not finished listening to the album but I liked it a lot. I'm more of a metal person. Prelude was interesting, even though the entrance of the distorted guitar was a bit strange. Most other tracks have been nice, but the vocal track (Epic Win I believe), the 10 minute long Sentient Machines and the fun Gurgling Desert Pond have been my favourites.

You had me working on something. Sent you a PM.

That's very very far from my musical strengths (because I've never written lyrics before and because I'm not a native english speaker) so I'd rather stay away from that

I think it would be neat but the project has a buttload of tracks already. Maybe you should leave it as an idea until the project is more advanced?

I'd guess there aren't many unclaimed songs now... But who knows! By the way, I liked your New Continent track, though I felt it was a tad too long.

Besides, you shouldn't quit music because a group of ~80 people don't like a remix you made. That's not the point of music.

Mine was #7, a Gestahl remix.

Congrats to everybody! I expected to do bad because of my suxxy production but I liked my arrangement so I thought I'd do a bit better. Oh well, there's time for more remixes in the future!

I got 2 mails too, a CONFIRMED one first and an UNCONFIRMED one today. I guess it was because I started a survey once and never finished it before doing a complete one.

Sure, just wanted to see if there is anything else I should work on before posting another version here! EDIT: Moving it back to Finished and I'll post a new version soon.

Yeah, I noticed the timing issue, but I hoped it wouldn't be that noticeable. It's just a rendering glitch so it's easy to fix. I guess I'll see what I can do to the 2:00 - 2:30 section, maybe more piano stuff would help as you suggest. I'm happy with most of the piano's sound, but as you say, there are some sections that could use some tweaking (some of the fills I put on some chords sound a bit odd). I am allowed to keep the Mod Review tag up so that I can get more mod opinions, right? P.D. The CVPiano settings can be found for anyone that's interested. CVPiano is a bit buggy though, so I recommend adding the VSTi when the track is ready to be rendered.

I don't see why the opinion of the "majority" of gamers should be what guides your decision of buying a WiiU. I bought a Wii when Smash. Bros came out and then bought other titles that were good. I guess I'll do something similar with Wii U, buy it when a game I really want comes out and then buy other titles. There's no need for so much drama.

Since Summer 2008, Nintendo published: - The MotionPlus controller. - Skyward Sword. - Donkey Kong Country Returns. - Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Bros. Wii, various Mario "party" games. - Xenoblade. - The Last Story. - 2 Kirby games. - Punch Out! - Metroid: Other M and the Metroid Prime Trilogy set. - Revised Pikmin 1 & 2 editions. Not to mention both Brawl and Mario Kart were released in early 2008. That doesn't look bad to me.

Thanks for the comment. I see what you mean and I could understand that people may find it repetitive. To be honest it doesn't bother me but if the potential repetitiveness seems to be a flaw to more people I may add a third voice to that section. Also, changing this to Mod Review.

I can't believe how much you people overthink this stuff. To me, it's like: good games -> buy; bad games -> don't buy. It's impossible (and unnecesary) to make judgements to all of the console's hopes when we only know of like 10 announced titles.

I'd love to participate but I don't have any remix ideas and probably won't have time... But I may try anyway. However, I wanted to share some songs that people could tackle: : The theme is quite strange, but I can see awesome mixes coming from it. : More straightforward, but awesome anyway. : Pretty energetic. I've been trying to remix this one, but I can't come up with something that isn't too cover-ish.I only chose Smash. Bros themes since that OST is so underapreciated...

Fixed

"(2007/12/07) Super Mario 64 'Through the Flames'" That makes me sad. What FF games are still missing an album? FF6, 9 are in the works and the TBP queue shows a FFX one. No love for FFVIII?

I like the arrangement, and the second version has much better sounding rhytm guitars. Some comments/suggestions: - Is there a bass on this? It is either too low or non-existant which is bad because a solid bassline really helps a rock/metal song. - The hi-hat sound is a bit too messy IMO. I find it quite distracting, try to make it a bit shorter. Bass drum sound is a bit too quiet and short too.

I barely know the source material, but the video sounded awesome. There is one theme that appears in FF9 (Mount Gulug or something?) that is so amazing.

I can hope that someone thinks my track has potential or something. (what the hell does this face mean lol) EDIT: My vote was confirmed too.

As long as deadlines aren't too near, I could tackle Crystal Palace Crawl. If you want I can send you a WIP in a couple weeks.
