  1. This is a charming piece. Plucky and warm synths backed by some grooving drums. Enjoyed the sfx, which I assume is from the game. It's pretty crisp and clean as far as I can tell, though I can't be sited as an experienced source. As for submitting it, it's hard to tell; the bar is pretty high. Either way, nice job here, keep it up.

  2. Oh, my dude, I never thought I would hear anyone cover this piece. Modern Warfare 2 was one my favorite shooters for a long time. I can feel the impotent rage of betrayal all over again. Keep working on them strings, the swells will really help them deliver an emotional punch. By the end of the piece, the brass and the strings sound like they are clashing a bit, probably a bit of an EQ and volume thing. Very nice work, keep at this one!

  3. Well, welcome to the VGM scene. This is a charming little piece, a nice direction for the source. The high and delicate synths nicely make a high atmosphere mood with a gentle flowing to it. really good chilling mood. I'm hearing some kind of static in your mix, not really sure what it's coming from. Check your synths, see if you can isolate the source and purge it. I'm not much good with EQ, but I'd suggest seeing what it sounds like to boost the bass a little bit, since this is a high-frequency heavy piece. Obviously, you don't want too much low sound to ground this flighty mood, but something to even out a bit. Still though, this is nice: about 7 or 13 times better than my first VGM remix. Good work.

  4. I apologize if this thread is ending up in the wrong place, but I wasn't sure where else it would fit.

    So, a question: is it a legal offense or infringement to use a remix of a video game song in a fan game? I ask because I have this little nowhere YouTube channel for mixes I collaborate on, and someone asked if they could use one of our arrangements in a fan game they are creating. Last I knew, remixes that are not being used commercially are no big deal, but as much as I am flattered by the offer, I am hesitant.

    So far, all I know is that the individual asking for permission seems to be making a fan game of Freedom Planet (an indie platformer reminiscent of Sonic the Hedgehog, made by Galaxy Trail). Our arrangement is a medley of a song from Freedom Planet and a piece from Sonic Colors. We're waiting for more information from the person. I enjoy the remix, but personally don't really think it is worth putting in a game. More importantly, I'm worried about the ramifications, since fan games seem to be a complicated matter. What should I know about fan games and supplying remixed music to them? 

    Again, sorry if this thread is misplaced. I appreciate any experienced opinions on the matter.

     

  5. I can identify with guitar illiteracy. Good on ya for not letting that stop you! The drums and bass are sounding pretty good, and what I presume to be a rock organ of sorts as well. The lead 'tar sounds fairly, distorted, I think the word is. A little grinding on the ears. I dunno if its the sample you're using or effects you've added to it, but I would, with limited expertise, suggest working some EQ on that sucker. What are using for the sample? Hopefully, someone who has proficiency with the axe will offer you more useful advice, but for the most part this is pretty groovy. Don't give up!

  6. Listens for 5 seconds: yup, sounds evil enough. I'm no authority on most things music making, but it sound metal to me, of course vocal are kosher here, and length is largely subjective. It's imposing, deep, dark, and almost traumatizing. It's impressing and memorable. I'd say good work on this.

  7. This is an unfinished segment of a medley me and my remix partner are working on for a Secret of Mana/Trials of Mana tribute. There are a lot of mechanical problems we're working on, but right now my biggest concern is EQ and balance. The current approach is boosting the violins at the mid-high range, Cellos at mid, and Brass at mid-high. I welcome feedback, and hope this piece isn't too hard on the ears. Thanks.

     

  8. Do love me some Torvus. I second the feedback from Brink, as well as that I find the fuzzy, static effect a little distracting from the smoother melody. I like the approach to this source, though. It sounds good at a faster tempo, almost ready to start dancing. Keep it up!
