Master Mi

I think one of the the most important things to do something well or better step by step is the great will and the passion to do it. If you have this - can also call it your "inner fire" - you will find your (maybe totally different) way(s) to succeed.

It's a really annoying problem - hope somebody can help me. I'm working with Magix Music Maker (2013 Pemium Version) and I'm almost done with a remix of Totally Rad for the NES. The problem is that there is a terrible noise (some kind of a fast repeating scratching or crackling sound) when the music gets quieter in the end and only one synthesizer instrument is playing. It's an instrument called "Mango" (sounds like deeper version of a flute) from Revolta 2. It's on normal volume and except for the reverb and delay I haven't really changed the settings of this synthesizer. The strange thing is that this annoying noise comes only after the export this track into an audio file. Within my DAW music project this noise isn't there. The problem seems to be in relation with exactly this synthesizer - because the other ones seem to work so far. I really want to keep this Mango synthesizer in this track because I think there's no other one which matchs up with this one. Would be totally awesome if somebody could give me a hint that solves the problem.

Yep, that's right. Except for the lil intro it's more a remastered version than a brand new remix. But it doesn't mean it has to sound bad 'cause of this (you will see this at my next one, which will sound much cleaner/clearer). I'm not sure but as I remember I used a lil bit of distortion to make this final battle theme a lil bit more rough (when I created this one I wasn't a member of OCReMix and haven't read the whole submission rules yet - so I didn't really know this). I'll definitely do the remixes my own way - no matter what the guys from OCReMix will think of it. But I also want to improve my remixing skills step by step to remix some tracks with a lot more complexity and creativity. You're right - skill comes with practice. Thanks for ya honest feedback.

Nice one - don't forget to submit this track to the judges of OCRemix - this community needs some beats like this for sure. ;D And yeah - I'll definitely watch your next projects. (PS: The Wily Stage from MM 2 has also loads of potential). Can you play those original tracks just by ear after 9 years or do you still need sheets of music for this? I'm just an ongoing remixer of videogame music who just finished his first remix (mostly a radically remastered track which has also a rad rockin' beat) - but to redo these original tracks just by ear would be a great gift 'cause music sheets of some good ol' NES tunes are absolutely rare or not available. Good luck, dude.

I'm working on a remix of this track (Act 1 - Part 1). I always wondered why there are hardly some good remixes of this game music out there because this game has a lot of tunes with gnarly potential. For an NES game those sounds were high above the bar 'cause of their complexity, catchy melodies and pretty badass drumlines. I'll definitely keep this in my remix or show this off a good deal more. Stay tuned - in a few months I guess...

This remix has a lot of energy - pretty badass rockstyle. Good guitar player with a funny nerd-style helmet. How much time you've spent on playing guitar to play like a lil pro?

I noticed this very well. About 2 years before the postings seemed to have been stored a little bit for all those Facebook friends who didn't get a chance to see it right in the time you were posting it. So they got to see it later on and they also "liked" postings more than today. On the one hand it will be of course a monetarization attempt of facebook. On the other hand many people in these days post pretty important stuff about the corruption and the big crimes of their own governments, politicians, bad banks and really dangerous profit-over-life companies. Leaders of the world with bad intentions fear such an awareness of the people and facebook just like the internet are media that can spread those informations very fast. So I guess they made some kind of filter for informations where much important stuff goes through unseen. The weekend before thousands of people from the tea party movement united via facebook to organize a shutdown of the government in Washington (guess it were about 500000 people). It was such a great movement, that somebody had shut down their facebook page. They made a new page though - but with that you can see another possible purpose of this facebook topic. Informations can cause revolutions (which are necessary from time to time) which "mighty" people/tyrants may fear. If you post something you want others to see (or to listen to), leave it for a while (a month or so) without posting anything new in this time. Good friends, interested people and subscribers will take a look at your facebook page from time to time. Patience is the mother of reaction (or sumthin' like that). )

So, kay - used the edit function - and here's the final version of my remix. I've made some changes for this one: - reduced the master volume a lil bit - turned up the bass to make the track more powerful (sounded too weak and flat before) - removed some strange, nasty noises/distortion effects (was scratching a bit too much at some points in the track) Original SNES Track >>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Remix >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrF12u2YeNk >>> https://soundcloud.com/master-mi/sinistral-salvation-master-mi-remixmp3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
