[OCR04963 - Donkey Kong Country "I Want to Go Home"]

I love the way the vox feel on this. A delicate, ethereal performance, and the way they're mixed just makes it sound like the singer is whispering right in my ear, and I mean that in the best possible way

[OCR04954 - Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Weed Wackers"]

Chaotic, discordant, and fun as hell

[OCR04952 - Donkey Kong Country 2 "Rigging Rampage"]

Absolutely 100% agreed with Argle that this mix NEEDED to exist.

Loved every second!

[Deep-sampled high-quality VST instruments from 8Dio]

Oh shit I'll have to check these out

[OCR04908 - Gitaroo Man "Slow Dancing at the End of the World"]

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

[OCR04907 - Mega Man 2 "The Dr. Is Back"]

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.

[OCR04859 - Final Fantasy IX "Where the Fire Burns Brightest"]

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.

[OCR04864 - Helldivers II "Glorious Exercise of Freedom"]

Loved the original, love this arrangement!

[OCR04846 - Sonic the Hedgehog "The Caterkiller's Jam"]

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

[OCR04804 - Chrono Cross "A Synonym for Death"]

That stanky low tuned guitar is delicious

[OCR04799 - Final Fantasy VI & Chrono Trigger "Implements of War"]

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.

[OCR04798 - EarthBound "Get Down with Your Bad Self, Mr. Saturn!"]

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!

[OCR04797 - Final Fantasy IX "To Be Forgotten"]

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.

Updated, and possibly finished.

[OCR04732 - Pokémon SoulSilver Version "Gold Soul"]

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.

[Hotel Kaholint (Link's Awakening Sword Search)]

 

 

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

[I used a real potato to turn my electric guitar into a microphone and it really records music! 🥔+🎸=🎵]

I love everything about this

[Tools we use]

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.

[Hotel Kaholint (Link's Awakening Sword Search)]

 

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.

Hear hear! Here's to 25 more!

[OCR04712 - Mass Effect "Cosmic Contemplation"]

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!

[Blues yo!]

Been on a Justin Johnson kick lately:
 

 

[OCR04665 - Final Fantasy VII & V "Flight of the Cosmonauts"]

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.

[OCR04663 - Super Mario Bros. 3 "Jump and Flare"]

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!
