Thank you so much for the detailed review @timaeus222!! I'll continue working on this and update you in the future.

Attaching a complete track that's ready for review. Thank you again @Souperion! So far, I'm really happy how this turned out. Underground Sewers and the Trial (Rakafella music).mp3

@Souperion thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback. I still have FL studio 12, but I'll look into upgrading so I can check out the FLEX packs. And great idea for the court room theme, I'll see if I can make that work.

Hi OCRemix - I'm looking for some feedback on a remix I'm working on for the Underground Sewers theme from Chrono Trigger. I knew from the start that I wanted to try to remix this track with an EDM/clubby feel. I wanted a build-up into the overall theme of the track. Now that I've gotten the main melody down, I've hit a roadblock on what to do next. Any thoughts you can share would mean a ton to me Some things I'm struggling with now: Creatively approach - I've only got about a minute of the track so far, debating whether to find a new song to add to the remix or repeat some of the verses Mastering - How does the track feel overall? EQ balanced? Effective panning? Any instruments that stand out (in a good or bad way?)? Any other mastering tips I should consider? Percussion - any suggestions on how to spruce things up to keep it interesting? I'm still an amateur remixer using FL studio built-in plugins, so any feedback (whether large, small, obvious or not) is greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much!

I had a choco-boat load of fun crafting this remix! Both of the original OSTs are extremely relaxed and lazy, which is why I wanted to up the tempo in this dance remix. I'm not looking for any mod feedback. Just wanted to share for anyone willing to listen.

@Souperion Thanks so much!

Had some extra time for the past few months due to COVID-19, so took a crack at a new remix. It's Dire Dire Docks from Super Mario 64. I'm not looking for any mod feedback. Just wanted to share for anyone willing to listen. Thank you for listening! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72OwNmhbVpk Source OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBPbJyxqHV0

Hey @Ronald Poe, sorry I didn't see this feedback 6 months ago haha. I appreciate your thoughts and honest critique!! I'm glad to hear that you too love KH2 (and are desperately awaiting KH3). I definitely agree the song is repetitive for an OC ReMix, but I felt it fit in better with the hip hop style (since many hip hop beats are supremely repetitive ). Also, I'm still figuring out what other track(s) to add to fit in with the theme of the arrangement. Thanks again!

Hi OC Remix! I want to share my newest arrangement, intertwining the the themes of "Terra" from FF9 and "Phantom Forest" from FF6. These tracks both introduce new, mysterious locations to the gamer, twisting what they've learned so far in the game. Ironically I just happened to listen to these songs one-after-the-other in my playlist, and immediately heard the similarities! My arrangement strays from my usual style of upbeat remixes.. It felt weird to me to keep a beat with barely using any percussion. I hope you enjoy listening to this! I'm open to any comments and feedback, and greatly appreciate your time listening to my music. Thank you!!

Hey OC Remix community! Who else dived into Atlantica in KH2 and was blown away by the main theme!?? Here's my rendition of Isn't it Lovely from KH 2, in more of a hip-hop style! I also threw in a couple of Easter Eggs from the KH1 Atlantica theme, and the 2.5 HD remix of Isn't it Lovely. See if you can point them out!

@GXAPlayer Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate your feedback very much!! I'll revisit the lead trumpet and figure out a way (perhaps EQ like you suggested) to tone it down a bit. Thank you for listening!

Hi everyone - I tried to mash up the FF6 Airship theme from the World of Ruin with Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger. This was a tricky remix, since individually these songs are stylistically independent. But I played the melodies over each other, and thought that it was a great enough fit to try a remix. I experimented a lot with different instruments for leads, especially for Frog's theme. Normally I would never use a trumpet but here, it felt just right! Hope you guys enjoy it!! Any feedback appreciated, good or bad. Always willing to learn to get better Remix Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opa-ADmpmsU Source (FF6 Searching for friends): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnvZ6Dqv7Ws Source (Chrono Trigger Frog's Theme): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp7PYi5b8jg
