Just wondering if anyone had an specific feedback on the Intro track I made? Since it's like the first track on the album (and probably the second track that a person would listen to after Corneria :P), I want to make sure it sounds good enough to do the rest of the album justice. BTW thanks for your "Sounds like Mass Effect" comment @TheChargingRhino, that was definitely of the feel I was going for

Oh and then there's also the fact that I've already "remixed" a remix of Boss B: https://youtu.be/fOd77maxAKI

@Starphoenix @Gario @The Nikanoru I mean, if you want me to play an instrument or add in a little bit of an orchestral or trance or EDM or hardstyle or dubstep or whatever, I could pitch in a little bit, but I don't want to be involved enough to be counted as an artist on the track (as I have 4 tracks on the album as it is already). Maybe if I contribute something, you could just put "ft. DS" on the end of the title or something (kind of like how Zomboy - "Survivors (ft. Must Die)" is a Zomboy track with some Must Die wubz put in there [even though most of it sounds like it was made by Must Die XD]).

@Starphoenix @Gario It'd better be good, Boss B is one of my all-time fav songs from the franchise... SO GET IT RIGHT

Boss B from Star Fox 64 might make for a fun trance remix track.
Make sure to put some hardstyle in it too just becuz

Ya know, I might be interested in making a piano remix of something for this, I'll have to see what I can do

looks like you have some formal piano education behind you, too.
LOL actually, other than the rudimentary basics of how to play piano and a little instruction on Sonatina no.1 op. 36 by Clementi, I've been mainly self-taught for the last 8 years. Mainly I just play a lot of stuff that I like and watch a lot of piano videos (I guess I get most of my "education" from Animenz and his insane playing
).

Don't know if this counts as an actual game remix, but you never know if the background to the newest Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Trailer is going to be part of the OST... anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this piano cover I made of it

I still haven't tried my hand at transcribing it yet, just give me a little longer until I get some time to try it out
-
I mean, I've basically got perfect pitch, so if I listened to the track I could get the notes down accurately and send them in a MIDI to you

Hey, DS, is this the version you're doing for the album? If so, AWESOME!
Nah, it's really a just-for-fun remix I've been meaning to do for a while, but thanks!

Thanks again, MB!
Mother Brain?...
lol sorry got too much Metroid on my mind

So I sent the latest version to a very small music promotion just to see what the spectrum would look like on a DubstepGutter-type setup, and I'm pretty happy with it (aka I can't stop watching it XD)

I calculate 68 seconds of source in this bad boy. That puts it at about 36% source in the arrangement. I have no idea whether or not you planned on submitting the track (you very well could just be showing off in here, which is great, in my book), but IF you were, you'd definitely be called out for the track being too liberal.
Heh, yeah putting the amount of source necessary for OCR would basically violate the laws of dubstep, as most songs are 25% melody, 25% build, and 50% drop (and that's being very liberal with the melody and build). Unless of course you wanted to go for melodic dubstep (which I did have some ideas for a melodic drop at one point), but that would necessitate a whole 'nother remix. Maybe if I have a lot of time again a while after this...
Thanks anyway for constructive critiques and comments

The bass is better, but every time that kick or tom hits, I'm still hearing it push the rest of the soundscape out of the way for a moment.
7 minutes ago, Gario said:That's not necessarily a mistake - there are EDM styles that do this sort of cutting intentionally, which adds to the meat of the track.
Yeah, from my dubstep experience, a well-sidechained kick and snare can basically take precedence over everything else. Here's an example of a track where you can reaaally notice it, yet it's still a legit dubstep track.

OK, here's the newest version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1RmRwKRXmElVTVSbnJycXRiWVk/view?usp=sharing It's finished in my book, since I did the EQ-ing, compressing, and whatnot for this one. Some mixing things got a little weird in the maximizing process, IDK whadya think? Basically done?
-
Yesssss chill chiptunessss sounds like a taste of heaven <3
I mean, as soon as you possibly can would be preferred, but technically the first WIP deadline January, so you got time.

So here's a thing brostep-y I started workin' on one day when I just had a lot of free time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1RmRwKRXmElWHhyM0NKVjBqYnc/view?usp=sharing
This is currently the running rough draft, but there's gonna be a bit more added to it soon, along with some mixing fixes (as far as I can tell, there seems to be a bit too of the highs like hi-hat and saw chords while the subbass is not loud enough under some synths). Also, I might add an atmospheric sort of orchestral part between the drops with violins and horns. Any other advice?

I don't usually take this sort of stance with Nintendo, but I think it just looks like a gimmicks on top of gimmicks to make it a Wii U inside a Wii while also ripping off the PS Vita. And for $299...

@TheChargingRhino @classic_gamer_76 If you want I could send you the WAV of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTRmwYigp8c to use in your mix. But even if you don't want it, I'm lookin' forward to seein' how your track comes out, 'cuz Select is like one of my fav songs of the entire franchise

Actually pretty legit

@Cole Train OK cool I'll send you a message about it, and we can work from there
@The Nikanoru I guess we tentatively claim Sauria from Assault

Oh yeah, I can read and write sheets. I've sang in my church choir before and I'm currently writing a choral piece for my senior project (where I'm secretly incorporating "Heroes of Old" from Star Fox Assault, heheh...)
