Mario Kart 64 Winner 2025-06-17 2248.mp3 You guys motivated me to update... Not very polished but here's a rough arrangement. Fleshed it out adding the "secret ending" bit for the second chorus, and an all new straight ahead groove that I want to flesh out the solos to more. A little reminiscent of Luigi's Raceway...

Thanks for the input to both. I am actually making this in 11/4. Use the ride cymbal in introduction (right ear) as a metronome marker. You might notice when you do this, it sounds like the off beat once we reach beat 6. This is because on beat 6, the kick drum (and bass following it) becomes the off beat, syncopating the side chain effect until the top of the next measure. This occurs on every measure. So the original rhythm is (mostly) intact, but when you count it this way, you get interesting syncopation, or off beats... it's all an illusion! But anyways, I will take the sound design and eight note rhythms into consideration. I do believe the kick and bass pattern (and obviously the time signature) is the main culprit for it straying from the traditional synthwave feel. Let me play with it, and most importantly complete the arrangement, and we will see how it sounds then. I appreciate the input.😁 EDIT: and the chords during the melody section follow the syncopation, because I have them bouncing onto the beats that the kick and bass are playing. Maybe I should try placing them on the on beats and see how it sounds... as it stands though it's an even 11 chords through beat 5, and another 11 through beat 11, so it is currently even in the measure, just syncopated because it's an odd measure... interesting dilemma, especially to Steele's point because synthwave isn't typically syncopated like this.

I believe this is completed. My only complaint might be that bass is too loud. Does anyone agree or have any suggestions for mixing, arrangement, or otherwise? Animal Crossing Wild World 2025-04-13 2026.mp3

Hyrule Field Remix 2025-04-10 2012.wav

Some mixing edits. Changed melody instrument. Edited the melody. Added piano solo instead of repeating melody for a little more flavor and variation. Need to: - Add some fills to drums and bass - Add ending - Touch ups of some velocities on piano chords Zora's Domain 2025-04-10 0941.wav

Updated full arrangement. Plan to make more variation/fills to drums and bass. Animal Crossing Wild World 2025-04-08 2012.wav

WIP: My personal favorite song from MK64, colored a little differently. The sweet memories of getting lucky with a lightning bolt and using it on my older brother as he went over the jump in Wario Stadium, plummeting towards sudden demise. Mario Kart 64 Winner 2025-04-05 2131.wav Source:

As titled, with influence from bossa nova and samba (fitting with the theme of the Zora's), as evident with the clave and bass rhythms and the low tom on beats 1 and 3 during the "chorus" section. Edited version below.

Hey all, I used to come on OCRemix a lot quite a few years ago when I was in high school. I haven’t been on in a while but have recently gotten back into making music. Here’s some WIP Animal Crossing. I took the original MIDI for the guitar and made it piano, arranging around that. I haven’t updated much of the content of that track in terms of dynamics, not sure that I need to do too much. Animal Crossing Wild World 2025-03-13 2317.wav

It's a minimalistic soundscape, but I think that ends up lending itself to the style. I found it seemed to fill out in parts. Also, this is particularly interesting to me because of the call and response between all the synths around 1:56, good use of finding interesting ways to play with melody while sticking with the same instrumentation - it keeps from getting boring that way. I like it personally, I find myself bobbing my head to it.

Updated: Added drums and new bass now that I have better samples. Its sounding fuller. I still need to fix that bassline, and make the rhythm guitar track a little more interesting, and overall make the track less quantized.

Here's the Great Fairy Fountain as a jazz waltz. Just got a new bass VST so finally I have all 3 (piano, bass, and drums - the triforce of jazz). This style is really fun, and I like to think I've gotten a little intimate with this sound lately. I'm trying to take a pretty traditional trio approach here, mostly influenced by the trio album Red Garland's Piano. A somewhat obvious influence for the waltz is Bill Evans. Taking some notes from past submissions about structure problems. I think this one has that all fixed up and has a pretty clear structure. I modified the original changes just a hair as well which you can see in this lead sheet: Great Fairy Fountain.pdf Remix: Miss Fairy, You Sure Are Great

Updated - clearing the way for some sweet trumpet to come in.

You got it.

Thank you, glad you enjoy! Update: Added a little more content to it, will fix the solo section and make the lines fit better together. I'm not use to playing at 195 bpm that often Listening to it with fresh ears, it sounds like the tempo could be bumped up a tad too.

I would love for you to do live trumpet, but I asked the one guy that I know and he agreed to do it. I will take your feedback into consideration for further arrangement, and maybe we could do trumpet in the future for something else.

Since I have no moneys, Shreddage 3 Free just released, so here's what I've been doing with my life all day. It's out of time because I haven't gotten to that part yet, mainly just been playing around with different tones and stuff. ReMix: Crash Man's Bitchin' Ride

I listened to some of this, and I am thoroughly entertained.

Could you give me a timestamp for where you think it sounds jarring? I just don't understand exactly what you mean. I would love to include saxophone or harmon trumpet, but, right now I only know how to play trumpet slightly, and currently, I don't have anyone at school who could, but... I do know ONE person who could be able to do it... maybe I'll write a part out and send it over. Saxophone is out of the question, nobody I know plays saxophone well enough for what I need. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

This is a source I've been working on for probably the longest out of any of them. It's gone through hip hop, orchestral jazz, and now Gypsy jazz iterations. I'm gonna stick with the Gypsy jazz arrangement and take it to the end. Source: ReMix: Super Django Brothers

This has gotta be one of the best source arrangements in the whole Zelda series. If my mix sounds good right now - don't fool yourself! You don't like my arrangement, you like the composition. So I'm giving this source some sweet lovin'. Source: ReMix: Zora Band v. 2: And One More For the Road v.3: Song for Brother Mikau v.4: Version 3 felt too muddy. Opted for a brighter sound, and less reverb. Added some limiting and very very tiny amounts of compression. Who Mixed This Chateau Romani?

I got around to working on some older stuff since I recently acquired the full version of Kontakt, which means I finally get to use Django. I added guitar to this track and updated it a bunch. It's a completely different mix now.

Chibi Robo? That's a pretty kid friendly game I feel like. EDIT: Kirby Air Ride is quite a simple game.
