Wow, thanks. Good game everyone. I appreciate the bits of feedback in the votes, slowly helping me improve my skills.

There's something horrificly satisfying about seeing Copy X holding Soulcaliber. Nice art.

Wait... Do I still vote when it's just me and Bundeslang?? XD We both give each other and ourselves 3 points, then it's up to TheVideoGamer to break our tie!

ANY Metroid song? Oh man, how am I gonna choose one?!

Congrats, HoboKa, great entries all around. See you next time, Hunters!

Entry in. Sure had fun with this one.

Vote in. May the best mix win!

Yus. now I can abuse my bonus voting clout. Look forward to hearing everyone's song.

WHAT, I win?! Wow, thanks. I really liked everyone's entries. I'll pick out a source for the next one soon!

I like the clarity you've added to the Raise Thy Sword segment. The bass elements feel improved too. Your theme and name are real intriguing and poetic, I really get this vibe of something artificial trying to be something it can't. The synthetic elements seem to try and emulate the organic vibes of a cathedral in a way, and just comes out as hauntingly beautiful and twisted. The organ sounding synth and piano really help that theme. This is a pretty artistic piece, nice work.

I enjoyed this, the new beats and arps made some nice additions to the piece. I'm not an expert on synthwave, but I liked listening to it. Nice work.

A source that basically is 30 seconds of material? I've worked with less, this should be fun!

Hot dang. Didn't expect to win my first round, even if its a tie!

Thanks! I've made an account and got it figured out! Probably.

This remix impresses me. It has a twisted, technological sort of reverence that drips with dread. Appropriate for both sources. I rather like the airy qualities of the samples used, gives a sweeping vibe. I'm curious how it'd sound if the bass components were a little more pronounced, that may flesh out parts as most the instruments seem on the higher end of the spectrum. A thought on panning, one of the computery blipping sounds that plays in the background seems to only be set to sound from the left speaker/earbud. It's kind of cool, but I wanted to bring it up incase it wasn't the desired effect. I enjoyed listening to this. Hope you get some feedback from more advanced musicians.

Hey, I'm excited to try and enter this. How does the voting system work? Just curious.

I'm in! Have a song picked out.

Almost two year later update. After getting FL studio 20 and plugins, I eventually recreated this project from scratch with way higher quality samples. And extended it a good bit. This is mainly just self assurance that I've improved since first posting here.

I'm an amateur music maker and long time fan of OCR. After a few months of learning to use a free software for songs, I wanted to try and contribute to the prestigious world of game songs. This number comes from Freedom Planet, a great retro-style game with an inspiring soundtrack. This was made on Soundtrap.com starting with a MIDI file. The first half is pretty faithful to the original, then I improvised more for the second half. I hope one day to create something worthy of OCR's high quality archives. While still preparing to invest in higher-quality equipment, I definitely can learn from any feedback. Thank you for listening. This is the original song:

Some of my favorite tracks from the game! The subtle blending of strings and woodwinds made gorgeous sounds. And that tuned percussion gave a definite new spin. Then merging those extra parts from Kakariko... Awesome. Reminds me of running around on people's houses back in Hateno, telling myself I'm an assassin...

I'm a sucker for metroid music. This makes me think of plodding through a soggy underground cavern with disco-coloured fungi swaying back and forth. Dunno why, that's the mental image. During the second parts of Brinstar, the bass felt a tad... off. It was nice and consistent bass, definitely gave a different feel to the song. And dare I say you kept a consistent time metering? The original changed a bit if I recall. It's a unique sound to a classic song, great job on that!

I remember both versions of this song, nice idea to mix the two styles! I enjoyed the saxaphone, it's a great contrast. The bass may benefit from something being added to it, the one guitar sounded a little... lonely. The treble parts sounded real smooth, pretty nostalgic of SNES days... BTW, I just realized how dang angry Zero looks in that background picture.

That synth choir jumped out and punched me in the face. The bass and synthy long notes make a dreamy techno-nightmare. Cuase that metaphor makes sense. I think you did the second movement pretty great, and the main theme... Loved that song. Maybe I'm a biased fanboy, but I love this.

I'm with that pinned comment on the video. I see Chopin and Zelda, instant click. Right before the final chord, I kept thinking, "Mystery jingle! PLAY THE MYSTERY JINGLE!" y'know, the opening of a door one. I for one, think the artistic molding of buddy Chopin' makes a splendid contribution to Epona's song.

Sounds kinda like chiptune! Not sure if that's the accurate genre. Agreeing with Souperion, the lead instruments sometimes came off a shrill. Perhaps the bass could be bolstered a bit too, I really liked how it sounded so a little more on it may help the strong treble bits. Reeeally catchy though.
