  1. I'm also surprised that nobody did Locke's theme.

    The huge amount of "Gestahl Empire" mixes surprised me too, since it is an odd theme. New Continent being so popular was kind of expected.

    Anyway, there are some pretty good ones, but way too many "techno"-ish mixes for my liking though.

    I hope there is a chance to give/receive feedback, since it'd be interesting to listen to people's opinions on the remixes.

  2. Thanks for the input!

    Yeah, I'd kill for a real guitar instead of the not very good free sample I used. I feel it isn't that bad, but a real guitar would make it sound really powerful. What's ShreddageX?

    For the drums I had a similar issue, using free samples. Also, I made the mistake of mixing all the drums into one track, so using EQ to enhance bass drums/snare got a bit tricky. I tried separating them but Reaper started crashing so I dropped that idea :razz:

    Lead you mean the guitar or synth one? I like the synth but it could be a bit more notorious, I have to learn how to make good leads with the VST I have... I liked the guitar lead but maybe the small bit of reverb I added makes it feel a bit distant.

    Anyway, thanks again.

    P.D. If any real guitarrist reads this and would like to aid me, just send me a PM!

  3. Almost identical was a bit of an exaggeration, sorry :razz:

    What I meant was that there are no alterations to the style and most of the melodies of the original song. Like I said, the orchestation is quite nice, and you create some subtle interesting moments and harmonies with some instruments, but the core of the arrangement is still very similar to the source. That's what I tried to say in my first comment.

    The last minute has the most notorious innovations, which is why I highlighted it in my first post.

  4. Baroque would've been a fun idea, but I didn't think about it :-P

    Anyway, I updated the song (link in the OP: http://soundcloud.com/jnwake/royal-coin ):

    - Changed the piano patch to a better sounding one.

    - Added Contrabass to the song.

    - Added a couple new sections.

    I still haven't worked on humanization/adding effects, so it still sounds quite rough. I'm still not sure if I should add percussion or something like that. Comment if you can!

  5. This is a (mainly) 6/8 remix of 'Coin Song' mixed with 'Edgar and Sabin' (the castle theme).
