; Actually guys, I'd like to stay away from Green Greens, considering it's already been covered to death with like Super Smash Bros. Melee and stuff; also, it's really the defining song of Dreamland, as opposed to Adventure. Adventure only used it in one level at the very end. Also, hold off on 56 until I hear back from the mixer I contacted.

Chokster man, I really hope you're not being serious.

AH GODDAMMIT I FORGOT YOU you were accepted dude. Track 56, don't tackle just yet. I've yet to hear back from a specific remixer I contacted about this song.

Accepted mixers so far: DarkeSword Adhesive Boy GrayLightning Rellik Suzumebachi Aetherius KirbyMixer DJ Ikronix Sir Nuts Ellywu2 Chthonic If you aren't listed here, I'm sorry, but I don't believe that your level of remixing proficiency meets what I'm looking for. Sorry guys. Maybe next time guys...for like, my next REMIX PROJECT. Auditions however, aren't closed yet, so if anyone is still interested, please provide a sample of your work for reviewal. Accepted mixers: please start looking over the NSF and staking your claims. Track Selection is officially starting on Friday; we can work out conflicts then.

Suzu, you don't have to audition since I asked you personally. It's only for the people whose work I'm not familiar with that have to audition. As for your WIP, sounds pretty good. Any thoughts as to which rank this is a theme for? I'm thinking Dream Hunter, perhaps.

Join the Holy Brotherhood of the Cock-Sneaze. The Prince of Persia commands it!

Not if you got smart and ignored the morons.

Both.

Can you try to provide me with an MP3 download? The stream on that site sucks (32K), and to download I have to register; the registration asks for home address. I'm not interested in giving that information out. Just enter a fake address. I have another question : will collabs be accepted for the project ? like, for example, if both Kirbymixer and me are accepted, could we make a collab on one of the tracks, or does it have to be separate remixers ? Collabs are fine, if you're accepted.

In a few days.

When's the show up for download?

I'll look over your material. To clarify, I'd like the best/most current work so that I know the mixer's current ability. hmm... does it have to be finished ? or a WIP could work ? I'd prefer finished so I can see arrangement skill, but a WIP would be alright. Can you try to provide me with an MP3 download?

No, that's not where it belongs. There is no 'Remixers' forum. That's a Remixing forum, about technical aspects of remixing. As for audition material; I don't care if it's remix or original. I just want to gauge the mixer's talent.

The mixer will be allowed to choose any song from the soundtrack (level themes preferred) and choose from any of the first nine ranks to have their song represent. Ex. DarkeSword - Steppin' Out ~ Theme of L'il Traveller ~ (remix of Ice Cream Island theme) something like that. Two exceptions: Ending theme will be Theme of Hero of Lore Last Boss theme will be Theme of Final Star All this will come out during the track selection phase, which starts Friday.

I GIVE THIS THREAD A BUMP BA BUMP

Mixers will choose the tracks and the rank they wish to represent with their song; I would prefer, however, if they chose level musics, as opposed to map musics. This will all be determined once the Track Selection phase starts next week. Right now I'm just looking for mixers interested in remixing for the project.

That track will be in high demand among remixers, I guarantee. It's one of the best tracks in the game.

He scared everyone off with the audition thing. Well sorry if I did, but I want this project to be of a high caliber. Allowing anyone who's interested to mix isn't going to give me that level of quality; I want the music to be VERY good across the board, so a mixer audition process is essential to making that happen. I'm also still in the process of contacting mixers directly that I would like on this project. If anyone is wondering about a timeline, I'd like to begin track selection sometime late next week (thursday or friday). First WIPs will be due on Halloween, so there is a lot of time to get even a first WIP done.

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSTTTT

WUT NO SHOUTCAST?

Kirby's Adventure Remix Project http://kirby.ocremix.org/ - Website, still in progress. Seed the TORRENT! KirbyMixer - 22/57 - Water Drop DONE Darangen - 51/52 - Son of Wind DONE Adhesive_Boy - 41/42 - L'il Traveller DONE analoq - 31/32 - Star Herald DONE Rellik - 55/37/22 - Swift Hunter DONE Suzumebachi - 28/29 - Dream Hunter DONE chthonic - 18/19 - Dream Warrior DONE Trenthian - 1/2 - Star General DONE DarkeSword - 33 - Great Ace DONE DarkeSword - 15 - Final Star DONE Gray, Blad, Hemo- 56 - Hero of Lore DONE Music for RotS is done. We are released. Locking thread for history. ____ Mixing Phase Begun! Kirby's Adventure was (and still is) on of my favorite games, and its soundtrack is nothing short of genius. There are many excellent, high energy pieces with strong melodies and infectious rhythms; this is one of the soundtracks that got me into video game music in general. Here is the soundtrack, in NSF format: Kirby's Adventure [NSF] I'm currently in the process of gathering mixers for a Kirby's Adventure remix project. So far, Rellik, Adhesive Boy, GrayLightning, Suzumebachi, and I are all going to contribute our talents. Protricity has also graciously offered to lend his talents further down the line if this project needs more mixers. I'm looking for about 7 to 8 remixers who are interested in providing a remix. Before anyone writes off this music as being 'too happy,' please listen to the soundtrack. It may be happy, but it's very strong musically. The project will have a limited scope; it will not attempt to remix the entire soundtrack. I do this to make the project manageable; there are many songs in Kirby's Adventure (on the order of 50), and I think that attempting a full soundtrack arrangement project would be a bit overwhelming. The premise is as follows: Kirby's Adventure was one of the games for NES that had built-in cartridge save. Whenever a certain percentage of the game was beaten, the file select screen would display a certain rank or title for you. 11) Hero of Lore 100% 10) Final Star 90% 9) Great Ace 80% 8) Star General 70% 7) Dream Warrior 60% 6) Dream Hunter 50% 5) Star Herald 40% 4) Swift Hunter 30% 3) Li'l Traveller 20% 2) Son of Wind 10% 1) Water Drop 1%-9% For this remix project, I'd like to make 'character themes' for each of these ranks. The theme of Son of Wind would be adventurous, the theme of Water Drop might be calmer; Star Herald could be more heroic, Dream Hunter could be darker, sneakier. You get the idea. At the moment, I'm just looking for some talented people interested in remixing for the project. Be forewarned, however; this is not an open project. Remixers will be chosen through audtion only. If you are interested in mixing for this project, please send me a sample of your current work (in either MP3 or OGG format) to shariqansari @ gmail.com (remove spaces), or post it here in this thread. Thank you for your time.

Well Gecko contacted me and he wanted to know WHATS UP since this has been in the panel for like...6 years. He said that he intended this to be a 'NEW MIX' submission; not a replacement, but that the end decision was ours. PERSONALLY I think replacement is the better option; I just listened to both mixes, and the similarities are just too strong to warrant a new post. EDIT FOR ANYONE READING THIS DECISION While this mix is not different enough to be posted, its still really good. So I recommend tracking it down.

I found the whole thing to be a bit tedious and boring. It didn't feel like this was really going anywhere, except from song to song. Not much of a remix either; it's a cover, as you have indicated with your website's directory structure (...com/covers/mp3s/metroid1.mp3). Seriously though; much too similar to the original. Improv, jam out, do something besides playing what my Nintendo plays. NO

Larry summed it up, basically. Dry and repetitive; I also wanna add that the flute is mechanical as heck man. Sounds aren't that interesting either, especially the one lead sound that's carring the melody. It sounds very generic; something fatter (OR PHATTER, YO!) could have been more beneficial. Not a bad concept but needs a LOT of work in the variation department. NO
