... was that Mars from Holst's 'The Planets' at 3:28 and 4:00? Nice touch.
*ahem*
Honestly, the performance is great, and the sources are cleverly arranged. If I had to critique it, there are one or two moments of hesitation that, while probably intentional, sound more like that - hesitation. It's super nitpicky, and something that others will probably not care about, so don't worry too much about it. Really not much else to add, though; if you submit this, it'd very likely pass, so send it off with my blessings.

TheChargingRhino reacted to DS394 in Super Metroid - "Ridley's Theme" [Piano Cover]
Yeah lol I kinda just added that in while noodling around with it in the arrangement process, give it that eerie ambient feel. I played Mars with an All-State Orchestra once and the vibes were so great.
Any specific timestamps? Hesitation/stuttering is a consistent problem I have in my playing style, I probably just left them in so that the audio would match with the video, mistakes and all, but I could edit them out from the MIDI for an official audio file. Probably somewhere near the end of the "Super Metroid Theme" part in the finale, right?
Well, I would, but I still have a submission that's supposedly been in the judging process since September (but hasn't been on the "To Be Judged" list yet), which is even more frustrating because with my current knowledge of OCR, I feel like it's just going to be rejected for quite a bit of variation from the source material.

Impressive as always, @DS394.
I really like watching that keyboard bounce around in the video. I FEEL the force every time you knock that thing around - a lasting image of the passion and emotion in your playing style. Awesome!
Oh, and love the blooper reel. Also a nice touch.

Also a testament to how much I need a better keyboard stand XD But thanks!

YOU'RE ALIVE!
We should do a duet sometime, but how...and of what...

TheChargingRhino reacted to DS394 in Super Metroid - "Ridley's Theme" [Piano Cover]
Once again, I decided to try to experiment with style and arrangement to make a unique take on a classic VGM theme! If I were to give it a title, it would probably be something like "Hunting for Ridley". Whadya think?

You can consider this track claimed. Welcome aboard, Katamari!

TheChargingRhino reacted to The Nikanoru in Lylat System CLEAR: A Star Fox Tribute Album
Awesome! Thanks, @TSori - I'll put you down as a performer!
I'm REALLY HOPING someone can pull all these awesome performers we have together for a jazz remix... HINT HINT....

TheChargingRhino reacted to Katajun in Lylat System CLEAR: A Star Fox Tribute Album
Hi everyone. I was wondering if it wasn't too late to hop on this and claim a track? I made a pretty cool take on the title music from SF https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1665268/music/lylat system - theme audition.mp3
This is me messing around with it and brainstorming ideas, no mixing or anything. Thinking of keeping it short since the source is very sparse anyways.

TheChargingRhino reacted to MindWanderer in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I tend to think of DLC in terms of value as compared to the content in the original game. For instance, Mario Kart 8 has 16 tracks, and the DLC has 16 more. The DLC characters and car parts are just aesthetic, but the tracks are the main thing, so 100% more content for 20% of MSRP ($12/$60) is a very good value--kind of my gold standard for DLC value. Smash 4, on the other hand, has 51 characters to start with, and each DLC character costs between $4 and $6, effectively ~2% of the base game's content for ~10% of its cost. Really only a good value if you like and play the game a whole heck of a lot, way more than you would play other games.
BotW's Season Pass costs $20 (1/3 of MSRP) and gets you an enemy rush mini-dungeon, a harder difficulty mode, a "new feature for the in-game map" (whatever that means), a new dungeon with a new short story, and a couple of random items, one of which is purely cosmetic. Considering the base game has 100 shrines and 4 full dungeons, plus whatever the final area is, this is much more in line with the Smash 4 DLC--good if you're a superfan, not a great value otherwise. I'll probably pass.

More physics engine wackiness.
I hadn't heard of the Stasis Rune before, but it's brilliant. Apparently it locks an object down so that physics temporarily do not apply to it, which is common enough in video games, but when the effect wears off, all energy applied to the object takes effect at once. It's fantastic.
I could tell from the level design up to that point that it was coming. BotW may be the first Zelda game where giving you true flight wouldn't actually break anything, so maybe.

Yeah, I've gotten good door opening SFX from there.
EDIT- IT IS UNBLOCKED ON MY LAPTOP YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!
EDIT EDIT: I am literally just downloading air raid SFX, jet stuff, found a cool "practice sample" one, but it's 8 minutes long, so. Need to find hangar stuff and good explosions -what the heck did DS use and where did he get his AWESOME SFX?
I must know.
TRIPLE EDIT: I found one that's called "alien invasion ambiance"...
QUADRUPLE EDIT: I will go ahead and make the first part, will link here, I guess.
I can't go any further than the first part until I get DS's midi, SO HELP ME, PEOPLE!

I see that @Jorito suggested freesound.org - if you didn't find anything there, I'll have a look around and see what I can find.
@DS394 could you please get in touch with Rhino with this MIDI? If you don't have this or are having difficulties accessing it, I'll see if I can do something about this - but let us know what you can find.
LOL Can't wait to hear it!

Hey, everyone.
I need a good website that has bomb SFX/Explosions/hanger door stuff/hangar turn-tables/lights turning on/sirens/whatnot.
Also, DS, I realize that life might be getting in your way, so trying to not sound rude or anything, but I have asked for the midi of the 2nd version of the SCRAMBLE intro twice (this will be the third time, now), once on here, a few posts up, and a PM. Please send the file via Drive, as I would like to tie both SCRAMBLE and Clipped Wings together with different variants of the intro (tom drums, snare, bassline, cut out a bit near the end and do other stuff.).
Yes, Nika, I am ONCE AGAIN redoing Clipped Wings.
Going to include "the SF theme that started in 64", go into the "2nd variation" of the SCRAMBLE intro, and then go from there.
However, in order to make this work- I need the midi.
So, I am requesting your help, everyone.
Thank you all in advance.
I would like the midi by 8:50 tonight, if it's at all possible.

I'll have something more substantial soon, just waiting for it to cool down a bit around here so I get less noise and feedback from my ceiling fan and a/c when recording

Hello, all! Just a few quick updates:
Sorry again for the delay on reviews. Life is still complicated these days but I'm working on it! I have been in touch with @DaMonz and he tells me he'll get to the reviews when he can, but he's even busier than I am these days. He's hoping to get started ASAP, but he figures it may be a while. Prominion has sent me a WIP! He's asked that I not post it yet, as he has lots of stuff he knows he can do better. He'll send me something I can post once he's more confident with what he has. No word yet on when he'll join the forum... I've also been in touch with @Trev regarding his claims and we've worked out an arrangement for his track progress moving forward. My own WIP has, admittedly, received little attention this month. I'll be prioritizing this on Thursday through the weekend, so regardless of what I actually get finished, I'll have something on Tuesday. Just a reminder, it will be the very first rough WIP of an un-posted remixer, so it certainly won't be stellar, but any advice would be appreciated - so long as it's constructive and not just heckling.
Just because we haven't reviewed a track doesn't mean it can't be worked on in the meantime! Since I'm taking so long to get the reviews out, if anyone has an update to submit, go ahead and we'll review that. I certainly hope that everyone is continuing to work on their WIPs anyway; we have a goal of having 16 complete WIPs by April 1st, and I now have 5 with the addition of Cornerian Hall of Fame, so 11 more to go!
We still have some claims left to be had! Check the front page of the thread for the unclaimed area themes - most boss themes and character themes are also open!
Thanks to everyone for being patient with me. I am still available if anyone has any questions, concerns, or just want to chat a bit. Looking forward to more amazing music as the year goes on!

Yeah good to hear from everyone again. Been super busy with holiday stuff and now getting back to work and other projects has been eating up most of my time but I'm back to a somewhat normal schedule and will begin submitting WIPs more consistently. Thanks for the patience!

The FluidR3 soundfont has a great sleigh bell sound. Add some reverb on it and it's great for atmospheric tracks. It also contains my favorite harp (I use it more than the one in EWQL Symphonic Orchestra...).

Growing up with the ol' gray brick Game Boy, my mom's philosophy was pretty effective: "You break it or lose it, you're not getting another one." Had that thing forever.
