Oh damn this might be my new favorite remix
-
Ooooh...... I might have to take a crack at this one.
Linking the source just to have it here.
I think I have an idea what I want to do with it already..... -
Yup, that's definitely the factory theme from DKC. I'd recognize that anywhere.
Dave Wise at his absolute finest, imo -
What I love about MkVaff's style is how each piece has plenty of room to breathe, and I can clearly hear every single note on every single synth and every single drum beat. Nothing ever gets buried or lost in the mix. No clutter, just sweet sweet synths and beats.

I'm planning on relaunching, I've rewritten the front end, backend, and migrated data to a more consistent format. We also have several songs ready for the launch scheduled in the late summer / early fall. I'll likely need technical help on the software side, finding such help has been difficult.
Got any use for an (admittedly amateur) python dev?

Hello, all! I'm selling my Kendrick 2210 guitar amp, the tweed-est of tweed amps. This is the amp used for the lead in Lover Reef, and for every electric guitar part in Trapped in the Minds. All analogue, lovely responsive cleans, delightful tweed growl when cranked, loves pedals of any sort. Hoping to get $2k for it, but happy to consider reasonable offers (especially if you're within driving distance of Ewing, NJ)

HAHAHA YES! This mix is so much fun.
The world needs more accordion music.
-
Arrangement is nice, but I really wish the guitars were mixed a bit louder.
-
HAHAHA I love everything about this!
-
Always love zyko's stuff, and this is no exception!
Loving the relaxed, acoustic feel. -
If you do not remember the Nickelodeon Animorphs TV series, consider yourself lucky.
If you do remember it, you probably remember that it had exactly two good things about it: Paulo Costanzo as Ax, and the intro theme.
Here's my WIP of the latter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LZaSZqMzRCbkKIICHISvMLL0yg6UHGDI/view?usp=sharing
Mixing is way off, and guitars in the first part are all over the place. -

Funky's theme from DKC, done in grimy reggae style.
Not sure where I want to go with it from here -
I love this mix so much. Simple, not a lot going on, just some great guitar work
-
I don't know what shocks me more: that it took twenty years to get a Starcraft remix on OCR, or that the aforementioned remix WASN'T terran.
Anyway, awesome work! This makes my zerg-maining soul happy. -
Holy shit. This might actually be my favorite mix on the site right now. I cannot possibly say enough good things about this mix.
Before listening to this track, I hated synthwave; this mix hit 0:37, and my mind was changed.
This does an absolutely phenomenal job of amplifying everything that was wonderful in the original tracks. -

Really loving this! Is that the ending you're going for, or do you think you'll add on another section? Wondering because it feels like it gains so much power and then kind of fizzles out.
Def gonna be making it longer. That won't be the end of it

Dunno if I'm ever actually gonna finish this one, but I'm having fun with it so far

Ooooh shit it's gonna be a rush to get something done in time, but I might have to take a crack at this one

I second the reaper recommendation
How to start? Is there a secret technique?

I do it all by ear, and honestly a lot of my "interpretation" just comes from being sloppy in this process. As long as it's recognizable, I don't really worry about whether I've got all the exact same notes and chords as the original. That's a lot of the fun of arrangement anyway: those moments where you go "that doesn't sound quite like the original..... but actually, I kind of like it, so let's roll with it"
As for how to come up with arrangement ideas, every mix I do starts out as a rhythm guitar part. I figure out some chords that sound close enough, then mess around with it. Try it faster, try it slower, try it with swing, try it in a different time signature, try messing around with the chords and see if I can still hum the melody over them, try switching everything to minor if it was major and major if it was minor, etc. Then once I find a style I like, I build back up from there.
