Ha, thanks! I got more cooking 😁

Just found this when running into trouble with iTunes importing my music after switching to iPhone. Very helpful. Thank you for posting this. Had to jump through some hoops from Audacity's website just to get an older version; used version 2.0.6. 32-bit installer to keep up-to-date version (64 bit) intact.

I just melody swapped the main riff for Ice Cap Zone in one of my original tracks, and this happened. lol Ice Cap Zone but it's boss music.wav

I like the overall sound design, pleasant vibe. Especially the strings, fantastic. Needs a bit more punch with the drums and bass imo. Doesn't shake my system much, even with the bass boost on. A huge complaint I have here: I feel like the backing sticks out too much, especially right at the beginning. If it was being used as a transition into some original content, it would be fine. But it sticks out in an almost jarring way with seemingly no purpose. And, of course, you need some original content. It doesn't need to be crazy, as I found out in getting a remix accepted recently. Just own it, make it your own. You'll notice that a lot of accepted remixes here start with the source material, divert into an original section, then return to the source to close out. The sky's the limit!

Source tune: What I got so far. It's a very dissonant source to begin with, so I feel like I'm gonna have a lot of wiggle room for my original junk in this one. Get Rocked (Sonic Spinball).mp3

I may or may not have unfinished horror music projects to cook until at least medium well. I'm definitely interested, though!

I'm in this year. I now have an office job that gives me a buttload of free time to work on projects. BTW finally got a ReMix accepted

Newest revision. Added some transition sfx, added new leads and a couple of other things. mddt7.mp3

Thank you for taking a listen! And to answer your question: kinda. The kick is layered with an 808, which is tuned according to the main bass note playing behind it. The kick itself remains the same throughout the piece. Low frequencies of the kick reduce the low frequencies of the 808. Low frequencies of both of those reduce the low frequencies of the synth bass. All via filter sidechains. Best I can do (I think) to get loudness without sacrificing too much audio dynamics. New revision incoming btw

UPDATE: I think I'm ready to submit this Million Dollar Death Trap v6.mp3

DAW is Mixcraft 10 Pro Studio. Synth-wise, half of this is RYM2612 (a paid SEGA Genesis VST), the other half is prepackaged stuff like Messiah, ME-80 and MinivogueVA. Percussion samples from Trisamples Trapstep and Datadrive 80s Futuristic Retro.

UPDATE: Death Trap 2025 DEMO 4.mp3

Source Tune: Death Egg Zone Act 1 Also, main inspiration source: Looking for critique before submitting. Death Trap 2025 DEMO 3.mp3

Here's the original: And here's what I got so far. Using the SEGA Genesis until I get it structured the way I want it. Unless a completely SEGA Genesis submission is permissible.... Insane Carnival Zone [DEMO].mp3

Right now, it's just a demo. Definitely wanna finish this one, it's fire. Here's the original song: Million Dollar Baby [DEMO].wav

If anyone wants to slap the original vocals on this and post it, go for it. Just credit me for this remake. Already Dead (Instrumental).mp3

Now finished

In Crystal Clear mode Original: Cover:

Original: Cover: This is an old cover, I intend to redo this in Crystal Clear with improved sound design.

You already know I'm in!

Original: Remix: Chaoz Fantasy 2.mp3

An update: Chaoz Fantasy.mp3

-SEGA Genesis music -sounds like a game OST, but the game doesn't exist -sidescroller vibes, heavy and somewhat dark at times -album title tbd

I got a bit ahead with act 2 over act 1. Act 1 is metal, and whatever this is, is act 2. You'll see more of this stuff in the near future; I am working on an album to basically be a game soundtrack without the actual game existing. Please let me know what you think of this concept.
