Was literally swaying in my chair to the rhythm while listening. Big and epic, yet tender and emotional. Gorgeous work here!

Usually I find stuff that's this heavy, loud, and hard-hitting to be exhausting, but this is great! Love the chip leads, love the heavy af kick, and it has enough variance to keep it interesting throughout.

I love how this mix breathes! Like, there's a lot going on, yet I feel like I can hear each element clearly, and each reverb tail rings out just the right amount.

Loved the original, love this arrangement!

I love how sparse this is. Like, it really uses rests as a rhythmic element, in a way that's strangely compelling.

That stanky low tuned guitar is delicious

This mix has a high-end sparkle throughout that I really love! Unique -- but excellent! -- choice of synths. Good job of weaving the two themes together.

Oh man, this is EXACTLY what I want when I see "Saturn Valley." Quirky, slightly dark, unpredictable, and just plain loads of fun to listen to!

Love it! Very energetic, dynamic, and soundtrack-y. I could 100% see this being the score of an FF9 movie. I think it would be fine with a touch less reverb, but I almost always think orchestral tracks have too much reverb.

How on earth does this have only one review? This is excellent! Great arrangement, great performance. My ears might be a little tired from mixing on headphones all day, but the mix feels a bit treble-heavy.

HotelKaholint.mp3 Updated. Arrangement-wise, I think I'm done. Just minor tweaks remaining

I love everything about this

Anybody else using Shimmer Shake Strike from In Session Audio? Of all my sample libraries, that is the one that I use in every single project I do for the last few years.

HotelKaholint.mp3 Still need to record leads for the final minute or so. Might redo the chorus and the quieter section in the middle; I'm not sure if I like them or not as-is. I'm rather proud of those lead guitar tones, though.

My circle of friends consists almost entirely of people I know through OCReMix

Hear hear! Here's to 25 more!

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:

Love the shaker textures, and LOVE the violin! And then the transition at 2:48, and that section after..... I love everything about this mix.

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!

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.

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.

Ooh, this is gorgeous! Well done, Hemo!

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.
