wip Golden Axe 'Wilderness' Orchestral
AkumajoBelmont replied to ellywu2's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Holy crap, there's a name I haven't seen for a long time! I don't have a lot of critique to offer. Maybe a little more to the high end of the piano - it sounds a little cut-off at the moment. Also, once the mix gets loud, it sounds a little too right-heavy... threw me off just a tad. Other than that... brilliant. Great source, great samples and the arrangement you've started is fantastic! -

Likewise. It's my turn this week - and I've covered this source before. Needless to say, mine will be mostly focused on Cold Man, but Wily 2 provides me a killer way to mix it up. I was kinda disappointed when I first saw that it was Wily 2... now I'm kinda excited. But anyways, ARRRGH, off to work with me. -
OCR02320 - Deflektor "Cover Your Light"
AkumajoBelmont replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I know you're not hating Will But since you've mentioned some of the production flaws (which I happen to agree on), I think any lacking area is rendered a moot point by the sheer energy, passion and just plain awesomeness. I think the roughness in the mix is more of a stylistic choice, because the drums etc sound like they're mixed similar to Reyn Ouwehand's cover of this track... actually, there's a hell of a lot of that version of Deflektor in this mix; cues taken from production right through to instrumentation. But who can blame them - Reyn did create the ultimate remix... one that eclipses even the source in awesomeness. 'Cover Your Light' is a bastard child of glam rock, Reyn and gamey-goodness... but what a fantastic bastard child it is -

OMG. No words. I agree with all those mix of the year things. One of my top 10 source tunes done so, so, SO right. Amazing shit. Truly. That chorus. WOW. -
OCR02317 - Gitaroo Man "FML (If I Could Drift Away)"
AkumajoBelmont replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Holy Shit Mr Jordanius. Sorry... 'Sir'. This is incredible. The source is perfect, and wow... just one of the craziest, most unique tracks on OCR. Makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. Dude, you know I love your shit. It's always been awesome. But now thanks to this track, I think I love you. Thank you for this mix. Just thanks. Epic. -

OCR02299 - One Must Fall 2097 "One Must Rise 2011"
AkumajoBelmont replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
HELL YES! OMF2097's Menu theme is one of my absolute favourite game tracks of all time. This mix is made of awesome. All of it. ALL OFFFF IIIIITTTT. Those vocoded vox are a brilliant touch too. My only qualm is the track is a tad soft. Other than that. YES! -
OCR02285 - NiGHTS into dreams... "Twin Seeds Flyby"
AkumajoBelmont replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I dunno, I've never held any issue with the synth solo... I love the free-form, looser sound it has. But I've gotta say, this track is one of my most listened to tracks off the album... probably THE most. I've always loved this source, but Stevo's take is my FAVOURITE version of this track. Everything about it... it just makes me happy. It's gorgeous. The vocal sample Stevo created warms my heart, and this ReMix is by far his equivalent of 'Mona Lisa' or other pretentious artistic reference. A sentiment I know Stevo himself shares. Great work man... everything that's good about NiGHTS all condensed into one track. Stellar. -
I'm going with the synth at the end... it gives the track some oomph for the lead out. But, man, do what you think is best. It is your mix after all. And if there's one thing that kinda bugs me about this community on the odd occasion is that people tend to want Mixers to alter their tracks to suit their personal tastes, regardless of whether it's right for the track or not. Do what your heart tells you man. This is still sublime. Your mixing is stunning... each and every track you do sparkles. Amazing stuff

I'll add to this. It's true that the guitars do sound sample based, but I'm really fond of the tone and vibe they give off... I don't listen to this and wish they were real guitars, so yah. Also, the only nitpick I have is the piano in the end... it sounds a little mechanical. What I would do is use the synth that you had in WIP 2 to play the Mega Man source melody, and maybe use the piano as a harmony line in the background. But if you didn't change a thing, I'd still love this
