Looks awesome, but I have to admit, I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the Metal Gear storyline anymore. I'm assuming I should play Peace Walker and Revengeance before I get this?

Once again, I got totally sidetracked from working on my album project remixes. This was originally supposed to be a FF8 remix of Silence and Motion, but I decided to scrap that version of it and reuse some of the drums and basswork for a remix of "Anything but Tangerines" from EWJ2. I wasn't going to bother making a whole new thread for this. Original song: http://youtu.be/58V72F4J56A WIP: https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/ewj2-tangerines-wip

Thanks! Don't worry, I will be using most of my spare time working on mixes. I might slow down, but I don't plan on quitting anytime soon.

My parenting situation is a little different. I don't have a biological daughter, but my girlfriend and I have become parental figures to a 2-year old foster child, named Kaiyah. Her real father is unknown, and her real mother was abusive, so my girlfriend's mother was given custody of her last year. When my girl's mother became sick (she's better now, btw), my girl started taking care of Kaiyah and they started to become really close (during that time, we were actually separated and I was getting ready to move to Colorado). Gonna skip some of the details here, but the move ended up getting postponed, and we eventually decided to get back together and work on fixing our relationship around Nov of last year, where she informed me that she wanted to adopt Kaiyah one day. I was really skeptical at first because, I didn't want to be a parent at that time, but I didn't want to give up on a decent relationship because of a child neither. I didn't meet Kaiyah until Thanksgiving of last year. She's the sweetest little girl I've ever met, and as time went by, I also became fond of her. Eventually, Kaiyah started calling my girl "momma" and me "daddy," and that was pretty much it for me. I have been her father figure ever since. Since they live in a different city, I can't really be physically there with them everyday, but I do my best. We are working on getting to a point where we can actually adopt Kaiyah, and be the parents she deserves to have in her life. So, now I have a 2-year old little girl, and a 2-year old dog that I rescued in my life that I never saw coming half a year ago, and I couldn't be any prouder. LMAO Only thing that sucks is, I now have very little time to do remixes.

Blitzball!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as the loudness of the sub, that is kind of the "trap music" style. It's not my normal thing, but it seems more fitting for this particular remix. For the life of me, I can't seem to hear the clashing or the bleeding. I tried to make sure the sub wouldn't be in the way of my other instruments like the kick, and I made sure the notes weren't overlapping in the sequencer. Now, I do have some percussion elements in the background that you might be hearing. Does it sound like a little bit of static? Thanks man. Oh, I'm certainly not trying to neglect the OCR audience, but this source has been covered (very, very well) by more talented artist and I don't think this is OCR worthy (yeah, I'm way more harsh on my music than the judges are). And besides, I have three other projects in the works for OCR. If I do come back to this remix, hopefully, I will have the skills to play some of it live, and not have to sequence everything. Also, I will have a guitarist replacing some of those synths. But for now, I'll be focusing on album projects and finishing my old Mario Kart WIP.

Hell, I love this one. It kinda reminds me of something The Lonely Island would produce. Just don't listen to it while you're doing something strenuous, like working out. I almost dropped weight on myself from laughing so hard.

Finally finished! https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dkc-i-lese-blue-trap Since there are a ton of Aqua Ambiance remixes on OCR, I will be posting this one on VGMix. Enjoy!

Thanks Skrypnyk. I understand what you mean about the drums. I have been working on them and I've come up with something that a little better in this update. I love your drumwork and I'll definitely give you a shout for a future project, but for now, I want to do this one solo. It's kind of a learning experience for me since I have alot of trouble with EQing and stuff. UPDATE (almost there!): https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dkc-i-lese-blue-trap-3-10 The drumwork has been changed quite a bit and they are a bit stronger. I have also made some changes to the EQing and mastering and added a few things here and there.

Lemme try! Bills, Bills, Bills-Destiny's Child. Basically, a woman is looking for a man that can care for her, provide, and pay her bills. She thinks the guy she's with is unworthy, so she's looking for a richer man. FUCK YOU-Cee Lo Green. The man tried his best to provide, but he just doesn't have that kind of money, so his girl left him for a richer man. And this is his response...

Update: https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dkc-i-lese-blue-trap I decided not to go with a dub-step remix, but instead, kind of a trap remix (since it seems more fitting). I still have to add more variations to the drumwork and the bass, and I will be adding some more embellishments here and there to keep things fresh.

I know this is a SoundCloud thread, but I recently started a Face Book page that's linked to SC and I plan on using that page to post original tunes and some audio doodles if anyone cares to follow.

It's not pointless to people that own a bunch of older gen PS games. In this day and age, I'm sure they can find the technology to make the PS4 BC, keep the system stable, and keep the expenses relatively low. That's all I'm saying. I just have a feeling that they wont do that so they can make more money selling digital copies and keep money away from businesses like GameStop. And I can't knock them for that, but at least make it optional (maybe a PS4 'premium' package). I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a BC PS4 just as long as it works like it should. Like I said, I don't want to have a bunch of PS systems hooked up to my TVs since I tend to play PS1 games more often than PS3 games. If my PS2 didn't die, I would be playing those games as well.

I honestly don't know about all the technical stuff that goes into the hardware development for these systems, but I just can't understand why Sony wont make their stuff fully backwards compatible for people that already own older games. I don't want to have a PS4 and PS2 hooked up to my TV and I definitely don't want to re-purchase a digital copy of something I already own. I bitch about it now, but I'm more than likely gonna get the PS4 for inFamous, Watch Dogs and Destiny.

I have a rough draft of my Funky Kong remix: https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dk64-funky-kong-rough-wip There's not much to it just yet. I'm still trying to decide how I want to approach this one. I'll post up a thread in the WIP forum when I have a little bit more to add.

Yes, Red's dad was badass!!!! I just can't help but wonder, why couldn't they just give him some damn Soft?

The Grumble Volcano shortcut during an online race: http://youtu.be/joMbFFk6WZ8 When playing online, you only have one shot to get up there, and I managed to pull it off on the first try. I only did it once because it's really a dick move, but that particular race was full of cheaters/hackers anyway. And I pulled off another shortcut during a time trial: http://youtu.be/nxrsW9abfAw?t=2m9s

Definitely understand your points. This was initially going to be sort of a dub-step remix, but I ended up making it more ambient (mainly because the person I was making it for hates dub step). Good news is, I've decided change the status back to "Work in Progress" and I'll work on a second version with everyone's comments in mind. I don't think I'll submit it to OCR since we have a shit ton of Aqua Ambiance remixes already, but may try to get it posted on VGMix (if I ever get a beta invite).

Bust a Groove Brave Fencer Musashi Mistical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64) And all three had awesome music, which made things so much better.

Really appreciate it! I did add a guitar and a violin in a previous draft, but I found that things were starting to get a little cluttered, so I just made it simple. Also, my poor computer was giving me fits when I tried to add more instruments to this mix for some reason. Normally, it can handle whatever I do in FL Studio, but it has been acting strange ever since I updated my sound card drivers. Guess it's about time to upgrade... But anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Bump! Finally knocked this one out and it is available for download (for whoever is interested). I'm dedicating this mix to a good friend of mine, so that is why it has the strange title. LOL. Anyway, check it out! https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dkc-i-lese-blue-trap Thanks

Sounds interesting. Honestly, I'm still not confident enough in my mixing/mastering skills to do collabs yet. However, I will consider it. Once I get all of my ideas down and move closer to a finished song, I'll give you a shout. Good ideas. I don't really work with violin/viola samples that often (at least, not having them in the forefront) so it's always good to get some pointers. I'll try adding some arpeggio in future updates and working on better buildups.

I hear what you're talking about at 0:23. I'll take care of it. The synth will probably be replaced in future updates. I just haven't decided yet on what I want to use. I will play around with the viola a little more and see what I come up with.

For 2013, I have decided not to have a resolution. At least, I can't think of one at the moment. I had a list last year, revolving around me moving to Colorado, but now it all seems pointless since I decided to cancel the move. It feels strange not having a goal to work towards, or something to look forward to, so I gotta come up with something quick!

I know this damn song has been remix over 9000 times, but I gotta do one. Original: http://youtu.be/LDvKwSVuUGA Remix: https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dkc-i-lese-blue-trap Older Version: https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/dkc-i-lese-aqua-ambiance-rmx
