OCR04712 - Mass Effect "Cosmic Contemplation"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Really love that..... I'm not even sure what it is. Gated brown noise? Some sort of rhythmic effect that sounds really cool. Great synths throughout. Love the whole thing! -
Been on a Justin Johnson kick lately:

OCR04663 - Super Mario Bros. 3 "Jump and Flare"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
HEAVY! But tastefully so! This does an excellent job of punctuating the heavy guitars -- which sound great, but would get tiring -- with lighter sections. Dark and creepy throughout, exactly what the original was begging for. Well done! -
OCR04664 - Super Mario 64 "Raga Koopa"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL! Really creative. Bold choice to leave everything so sparse, but it works spectacularly, and really gives the tablas room to breathe throughout the mix. Definitely going on the favorites list. -
OCR04649 - Final Fantasy IX & V "Freya's Curse"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Intro was gorgeous, but the real "oh shit this is gonna be a good one" moment for me was when the drums came in around 0:52. Love the choice of synth tones, love how punchy the drums are, love that triplet rhythm. -
OCR04647 - Final Fantasy VII & VI "Steeling Hearts"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Ooh, this is gorgeous! Well done, Hemo! -
Any composers release a free music pack? Any tips?
Geoffrey Taucer replied to IndeedTido's topic in General Discussion
I don't know details, but I know there exists places to publish/purchase loop libraries for this purpose. I'm sure somebody around here can point you in the right direction (and you might have better luck asking on Discord) I will also pass along some advice that virt once gave me: if you charge nothing, your music is worth nothing. It's fine to release it cheap, but both for yourself and for your fellow musicians it's best if you do at least charge something. -
OCR04627 - Metroid Prime 3 "An Endless Sleep"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Loving the cello and vox! -
I don't have wavs or the ability to render them for any of my old stuff :(
-
OOOOOOH This is gorgeous! Really cool how you managed to make so much out of just the first few seconds of the source melody, and it works really well here! Love the synths, and I especially love the glitching around 2 minutes in. The whole thing has just the right amount of edge and grit, and dropping back to the music box-ish sound at the end was exactly the right choice imo.

OCR01465 - Sonic & Knuckles "Lover Reef"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Your best bet is probably to ask @zircon Or ask around on Discord; I'm sure somebody has it -
Need a Celtic Drums likes Bodhrán VST
Geoffrey Taucer replied to chumo77's topic in Music Composition & Production
I've yet to find a bodhran VST I really like. BUT I've found by taking taiko samples (I used the ones from EW Goliath, but odds are any taikos would do) and adding a chorus and the right EQ (context-dependent), I can get something that fills the niche I'd want a bodhran to fill. -
Alright! Friday afternoon/evening is looking like my best bet! Happy to catch up with whoever while I'm there
-
Looks like it might be just Sunday for me. MAYBE Saturday evening, but no promises.
-
I'll probably drop by for some but not all of it. Sarah may or may not join. I don't want to post my phone number on the intarwebz, but if anybody wants my cell # you can DM me here, discord, or facebook

Paper on the history of VG remixes
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Samsa's topic in History & Study of Video Game Music
Not fluent in German, but if ever there is an English translation I'd love to read it! -
Fair, it definitely feels more like a solo. But a solo traded back and forth between Felder and Walsh
-
Which is ironic, because it's not a solo -- it's a duel
-
Technically this is a duel, not a solo, but I gotta go with good ol' Hotel California. There's nothing all that technically difficult about it -- other than a few bends that Walsh pulls off faster and more accurately than I ever could -- but I've probably learned more about lead guitar from this guitar duel than from just about any other single track. It's fun, it's expressive, it's melodic and doesn't lean heavily on wankery or "watch how many notes I can shove into one measure." Love it.

OCReMix isn't going anywhere; it's just not run by djpretzel anymore
-
As always, I love how Shariq creates such a rich soundscape with sounds that are, on their own, fairly simple. Rich and lush. The percussion work especially stands out. But man..... I can also hear so much emotion packed into this mix. The whole thing is just gushing with the sense of the fragile-yet-infinite potential of a new born child.
-
Man there is so much to love about this mix, but there are two things I have to mention in particular: First, the off-beat chord stabs in the intro, that sound almost but not quite guitarrish, and almost but not quite synthish Is it a sample of a guitar strum that's cut super short, or is it a synth with similar tonal characteristics to a guitar, or what? Whatever it is, it's incredibly compelling. Second -- and this is MkVaffe's signature -- is the way every single element has space to breathe. Absolutely nothing gets lost in the mix; I feel like I can hear every single drum hit, every single note on every single synth, every reverb tail, everything. I don't understand how MkVaffe does this, but he does it better than anybody. Every single element shines through. Absolutely delightful
