  1. I can understand the confusion, especially for someone who didn't own the original disc, which usually came packaged alongside a new Super NES and the game itself

    I'm pretty sure the disc is the full-production music they used for the arcade game, and if anything the SNES versions are "remixes" or "demakes" :)

  2. bumping this once to see if anyone

    1. has any favorite electronic/dance/chiptune music blogs that you think would like to feature this sort of thing

    2. are the owner of a blog and would like to feature this sort of thing

    thanks for the support so far everyone! I'm currently working to get these tracks noticed on a higher level in the EDM community, so here goes nothing! (never done this before)

  3. Probably contracted some cheap freelancer who wasn't feeling particularly inspired.

    yeah, it's in a different key and altered significantly in quite a few ways

    in the end, I'm a little disappointed that anamanguchi complained about it. They could've just posted about it without saying "disney totally ripped us off"

    they're quite a big act now, so I don't understand why they would spend time destroying some youtube advert for a mobile game that "Disney" as the huge corporate entity had essentially nothing to do with. They seem to enjoy having a following that will help them participate in drama and get revenge, and that kinda shit puts a bad taste in my mouth.

    edit: this totally reminds me of when Metallica was freaking out about Napster ...and then I stopped listening to Metallica forever.

  4. I wanted to reward the longer arrangement as I tend to do.

    Also i thought source usage trumped production, but maybe i was mistaken.

    Oh, ok. Well, "The most important thing to consider when voting is how well the remix incorporates and arranges both Maverick themes." Quite frankly, I would not assume that either of us has a clear advantage in this category. in my opinion we BOTH did a fine job combining large percentages of both themes, and creatively.

  5. Hey Mr. Briggs

    I am a little too old fashioned for Ableton. It IS a really handy tool. I just haven't gotten used to it yet. I tried out that HiQ pitch preserving warping a couple times from your recommendation but I didn't like the subtle distortion :P I use slightly older tools with similar capabilities to emulate how I play with vinyl records. Mixing vinyl is still my prefered method but buying vinyl is becoming increasingly more of a hassle. And vinyl pressings warp easily.

    P.S. DJing with a crossfader on the mixer in harmonic mixing is dumb. I don't recommend it if you have been using it.

    yeah, I definitely know the subtle distortion you're talking about. it's even more noticeable when using 320k mp3s.

    I actually really love using the crossfader because 1. it keeps me engaged with the arrangment while I'm performing and 2. I can use it to easily "remix" or make room for my sampler channels to come through with a sound effect or whatever

    I'm curious, why do you dislike using the crossfader with harmonic mixing? I use a curve that keeps both songs at a high volume for as long as possible while fading

  6. Source breakdown:

    0:00 - 0:30 : Boomer Kuwanger (BK) intro

    0:30 - 0:45: Magna Centipede (MC) + beepy arpeggio from BK (arpeggio continues for most of the song)

    0:45 - 1:00 : MC continues, melody from BK joins as backup

    1:00 - 1:15 : MC pt. 2, original counter-melody on strings/piano

    1:15 - 1:30 : BK intro, fitted with the chords from MC (<3)

    1:30 - 2:00 : MC pt. 1 again, on chiptune... BK intro continues in background

    2:00 - 2:38 : BK parts 2 & 3 feature, because they are my FAVORITEEEE

    2:38 - 2:42 : Original megamanX-style scale run transition YEEEAHHH BOY

    2:42 - 3:10 : return to BK intro, added bass for build

    3:10 - 3:25 : MC part 1 again + continued BK beeper

    3:25 - 3:40 : MC part 2 again

    3:40 - END : Outro, BK with original chords and fadeout

    (just in case you guys have a hard time hearing the source... shouldn't be TOO hard)
