I could never beat Zelda 2 when I was a kid, probably because of stupid Death Mountain, but if I tried nowadays I could probably get through it. I just didn't have patience back then for roadblocks like that.

It's a plugin/synth that features a TON of stuff. Lots of great analog synth sounds for leads, pads, etc. Also lots of good choir sounds that sound really clean. Omnisphere 2 is the current version. This video pretty much sold me on it. The variety of sounds it comes with is so huge, I almost always use the search bar to find it.

Omnisphere works great.

Tracks like this make me wish I'd discovered OCR much earlier than I did. Reminds me of the mid 90s when I went through a long La Bouche/Ace of Base phase. I could listen to this all day

Sounds like something you'd hear in an old school JRPG. Maybe when you discover a party member's backstory, or you find the town they grew up in. Only it's not what it used to be. Or something. Great work!

Recently there's Axiom Verge. There is an area near the end where you have to go up and up and up constantly, and the enemies are such a pain and the traversal just wasn't fun. I usually can finish a Metroidvania even if it's not outstanding, but I rage quit pretty hard there

That's the one bad thing about GS2 being more open than GS1 unfortunately. They could've made it just a little more linear to keep people on the right track.

With the events, I'm typically happy to get just one or two legendary skins. And by the time the event starts, I have at least 3000 to spend and just buy one. That's what I did for Zenyatta in the Chinese New Year event.

Sorry forgot to post the source tune. Here tis

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely had flute in mind.

WillRock with a swing groove! Very nice. How much. As usual with Will things are never repetitive and ideas always seem to building off each other. The solo at 1:58 is so wild and almost dizzying. Another great one.

I only ever played the first hour or so of this game but dang that starting village theme is so good and really gets stuck in your head. Same goes for that sweet overworld (underworld?) theme too. The conservative arrangement in the first half works just fine I think. It's important to establish the melodies a couple times before venturing out into the creative wild in the second half. The key change from the original (C# instead of the original A), as well the as the background water ambiance, breathes new life into this track. The warm, sunny feeling you get from the original is also amplified by the violin and acoustic guitar. Beautiful stuff.

Yeah I still wanna throw a lot more percussion instruments in there, as well as make some freestyle sections for them and maybe a guitar solo. Or a section where the percussion and bass play off each other.

https://soundcloud.com/eggsngam…/snake-man-remix-first-draft This is a remix of Snake Man's theme from Mega Man 3 on NES. The idea here is lots of world percussion along with a calm smooth guitar and atmospheric pads and choir. This is literally the first thing I've ever made in FL Studio or any DAW for that matter so I'm still learning but hey, gotta start somewhere! I probably need to find some way to make it a little less muddy sounding during the busy parts. Might be too much low end on the guitar. Not quite sure.

Love the clap sound Just Coffee uses here as well as in the MM8 remix. Also excellent job combining all the different melodies together at 1:35! The key change in the second half definitely gives off a driving-into-the-sunset/ending credits vibe that works well. Just Coffee has just the right timbres for 80s synth pop and he could really make any VGM into a remix in this style if he wanted to.

That snare sound is so weird, yet it feels right at home with all the retro blips and bloops going on here! The strings starting at 1:35 definitely give this that extra zing that a remix needs. The intricacies of the "verse" part are super polished and rhythmically very satisfying. In fact the drums are deceptively and surprisingly simple. The only thing I would do differently, and this is being super nitpicky, is extend the break at 2:13. What's there is quite good and I really wanted more with those NES sound effects. This is one of those remixes where you can discover something new almost every time you listen to it. This gets my sunglasses emoji of approval

Love the ambience in this one. Slowing down Snake Man's normally fast rockin theme allows for a lot freedom in some sweet drum grooves. Really love the guitar harmonics combined with the low synth bass. The second half has enough legs to get by without any drums, and I actually like that they're kept to a minimum there. The oomph you get from the bass drum and hi hat work super well together. Excellent mix!

Dat bass tho. I think the organ panning just narrowly avoids being distracting. The guitar at 1:43 doing sixteenth notes seems a bit rushed and super slightly off time, but the second time through at 2:54 it sounds better. The drums breaks section is extensive and creative, really enjoyed that. Nostalvania, have you considered making a LttP album in this style? Or maybe just Zelda in general? You really have a knack for this stuff

It's Myst so it's only a 37 step puzzle that requires reading a book beforehand

Remove Lavos from the equation and yes, absolutely.

I'm Steve. Longtime OCR lurker. First MAGfest was 2015 and I've been supporting OC ReMix since then. Played drums in high school in a band called The Dying Breed. In the early 2000's era of Linkin Park, we played old school Metallica type stuff. At least, we tried to Picked up FL Studio after watching some of Zircon's livestreams. When I have time and energy, and I don't let Overwatch consume my existence, I play with it a bit. But I've just been dabbling with it so far. My current job is too time consuming and I want to dedicate more time to music, so I'm looking for a less demanding job somewhere. Favorite thing to do on the site currently is listen to older remixes and comment on them. I love VGM of all genres. Looking forward to meeting lots of cool people here. #VGM4LYFE Also having a kitten that loves nothing more than to play with your computer cords makes it quite challenging.

This mix needs more love. It feels like the final level of a hectic 2D sidescroller with enemies filling the screen, as you push forward with your sweaty hands gripping the controller tightly. And like all of Mazedude's tracks, you can hear something different almost every time you listen to it.

This mix has lots of good variation arrangement-wise. I love the simple but aggressive drive with the drums when they kick in. Things calm down a bit halfway through, but not too long, and the energy picks right back up. The source tune isn't one of my faves from the original OST (tough competition on that one), but it's perfect for a rock remix. All the elements are there. Also the key change is something I'm always in favor of, so well done. Only thing I would've changed is maybe mix the piano a little louder, but that's it.

I get serious Porcupine Tree vibes with this one. Dark and haunting, yet beautiful. Servants of the Mountain is a great choice for this style. Such a solid mix without indulging too much. Perfect mixing of rhythm and lead guitars. Can't wait to hear your next remix. Excellent work. And dang those drums are crisp as a fall morning in October.

I love techno mixes like this. All you need is a small snippet of a catchy chiptune and you can embellish it in so many energetic and satisfying ways. Love the electronic tom toms that appear unpredictably. Section starting at 2:02 has a nice alternating clap-snare thing going on. Really dig it. Synth lead is definitely what makes this mix stand out. Cool flanger-y sound (did I get that right? lol) Can't quite hear any Spring Man theme tho...
