Ridiculously Garrett

I think whoever this Garrett guy is should stick to his day job

I started a remix of the Minish Village in a bluesier form. A little liberal in comparison to the original. Source: ReMix: Somebody Stole My Jabber Nuts

Update: I added the melodica solo I desired and am working on getting a drummer to make drums for me so the drums don't suck. Just a little too much reverb.

Yeah that whole open section I'm gonna get into the studio and record some melodica. I might go back in and flesh out the piano part a little bit. Some parts I'm happy with, but others not so much. Thanks for the feedback. EDIT: I'll probably add some tritone stuff and some passing chords as well, especially during the chorus.

A WIP of this remix, originally this was a jazz quartet version, but it was getting dated (and albeit not that good) Now, a jazz trio + hip hop elements, this melody is fantastic. Use of block chords in the beginning, followed by some close voiced chord movement by the second chorus. Going to work the arrangement into a solo section and then back to the head.

Lo-fi tracks are always a good listen. Never played Street Fighter very much, but this mix is a nice listen. The only thing I wish is that that piano patch was a little fuller, maybe just a little bit darker, but this does the job decently.

I think this is pretty good, the only thing that really throws me off is the piano bass part. All the velocities sound the same to me, and despite the fact that whatever instrument patch you're using is MIDI, it just sounds really quantized and mechanical. Doesn't sound like a human is playing it: it's too perfect.

Besides, you said you're still in university, you've got plenty of time to make great music. I don't think Herbie Hancock was making hits with Miles Davis right out of college.

Honestly, I don't feel like anything I've worked on is all that amazing. I've gotten better. Only been doing it for about a year now and some change now. Sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to go forward with a project, and lots of ideas end up getting scrapped. Could they have been good? Maybe. Could they have been bad? Probably. But you never know. Feeling like what you're doing is wrong is completely normal. If you know your limits, strive to break them: today, tomorrow, or within ten years. At the end of the day what really matters? Is it what others think of your creation? Or is it the improvement of personal craft?

Thanks, man! I really appreciate the advice. Some of the layers in there I definitely did not spread out a little in terms of timing, so that could be something to edit.

Updated the links a little, got 2 finished tracks.

Sweet, thanks for the advice. I'll keep the tone in mind when editing.

I'm always all over the place with tracks, and I had on attempt at remixing this song a while ago and it sucked. This already sounds miles better. ReMix: Ocarina of Time Title Source: You all know the source, it's iconic, it's been done a lot, it's cool, its chill; I dunno I had this idea so I guess it's cool.

I would LOVE a remix album of Monster Hunter. I would take part in it if it ever happened. The only problem I see arising is that, even though it's gained popularity, MH is still kind of obscure and resources for already transcribed source material is harder to come by, that being said, I'd be willing to do a track on an album like this.

Here's a remix I began working on of Road Taken from Fire Emblem Fates. Currently only a short WIP: ReMix: Road Taken Trap Remix Source: Never really done trap before. Trying it out. The electric piano in the beginning is way too static for my liking right now so I will flourish that. Any feedback is appreciated; thanks for listening. EDIT: Also don't know how I feel about that lead panned to the left.

Here's a couple of songs I finished. I used a couple of Garage Band loops and a bunch of reharmonization. Hopefully I'll make this into a whole album. Mr. Jazz Man (This one's more Daft Punk inspired, funky and electronic) generic electronic track#1 (This one is kinda R&B and electronic) I've got 3 more in the making at the moment but hopefully I'll have 10 or so.

Nope, yeah @Nabeel Ansari I was just being an idiot. Just figured it out. It works just fine. Thanks anyways.

I did a solo electric piano cover of John Coltrane's "Central Park West." Cover: Here's the original:

I am trying to load regular NKI stuff (like MegaBrass) but wouldn't I still need to run that through my DAW with Kontakt? Because the issue is that Kontakt won't let me add files because it doesn't see Native Access. Maybe it's an issue with my DAW. I honestly don't know. It doesn't seem to be an issue between being a regular NKI or library because either way it won't even let me browse for files.

So, I know how it all works and stuff but when I go to Kontakt 5 in my DAW and hit the "Add Library" button to add files to it, a prompt tells me I need to download Native Access, which would be great if I didn't already have Native Access. Kontakt's Factory package thing and Super Audio Cart works just fine and I added them with Native Access. I've tried a few things to make it work, but I just can't figure it out. And the files I'm trying to add are from Impact Soundworks, and are compatible with Kontakt. I'm thinking perhaps it's looking for Native Access in a certain directory and maybe I moved it? But it never worked to begin with so I dunno what the issue is.

Absolutely, messing up and still going is the true mark of a good musician

You can tell when I messed up because I sustained absolutely horridly, "Just gonna solo up a bi- WOOPS" *cue piercing sweep of keys*

Nice, I thoroughly enjoyed this

I did a cover of the jazz song Autumn Leaves originally written by Joseph Kosma and lyricists Johnny Mercer and Jacques Prevert in 1945 and released in 1946. Cover: Again not sure that I could really find the original but here's some renditions by Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, and another by Nat King Cole

I agree with the car stereo problem, sometimes I mix things on headphones and it sounds fine and then I go to drive somewhere and say "Hey I'll listen to this just to see what else I can do" and then it's just BASS.
