Hello everyone. I've written a theme for Ken that I was hoping to get some feedback on "NightLife ( ) It's pretty much a rough demo written on Sibelius 6 so I was hoping for critique mostly on the composition of the piece. Any thoughts?

This is my version of the legendary theme. It's slightly chippy/chill-out. This is a very early WIP, I haven't fully mixed much at all and the arrangement isn't finished. Just want to get opinions on the piece at the early stages.

The last song I created was not the best. i liked it but after the professional reviews from our awesome judges I did realize faults here and there. so i now return with a WIP, its pretty much done i just wanted to get your opinions before I tried submission again. Dracula goes Asian. http://www.macjams.com/song/63179

It's an in-between song (so it's on the short side) for an album I'm making called Conflict. http://soundcloud.com/kruai/rebellion Please let me know what you think! Kruai

Ok, I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, take a nice gentle orchestral source and go Electronic cut up distortion mad on it! The arrangement isn't finished yet, and it's still needs a bit of tidying up done to it in my opinion, but i'd really like some opinions on how it's going so far. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q85KIhPXrIQ Oh and should have mentioned originally i'm going for this sort of sound: Thanks for any feedback!

Just an idea for now. Still experimenting. EDIT: New one:

Well, this is my first time posting here for feedback, and I'm rather amateurish to begin with. So anyhow, here's my story: I was meddling around with LMMS, trying to compose *something* dark-sounding, and then suddenly realized that the upbeat tune for the Sonic 3D Saturn's Gene Gadget does a sinister genetic laboratory no justice at all. This resulted in a remix that turned out okay, so I decided to submit it under the name "The Doctor from Hell." However, I didn't quite expect it to get accepted, and it certainly didn't - the feedback pointed out that the remix was too repetitive, and not true enough to the source: Production is pretty good, though a little crowded and the kick could use more oomph. Biggest problem is how liberal this is compared to the sources; even when you bring in the Gene Gadget theme, it's modified and not that obvious. If I heard this cold, I probably wouldn't have known what game it was. The remix is also a little too repetitive like you said. Sorry, not gonna be the one to get you there, but if you have another remix closer to the game tune, send it our way! Vinnie Prabhu OverClocked ReMix While your submission is appreciated, after initial review OverClocked ReMix has decided not to post it or forward it to the judges panel in its present form. There are several common reasons why submissions might not make it to OCR's next stage of evaluation (bolded & italicized if applicable to this submission): the arrangement is merely a MIDI or game music format file assigned new instruments and/or given added effects the arrangement is not different enough (e.g. structure, tempo, instrumentation) from the original game music the arrangement is too texturally sparse, too underdeveloped and/or too repetitive the sound quality (e.g. sample quality, sequencing, mixing, processing, recording) is poor the writing or performance quality (e.g. frequent clashing or wrong notes, mismatched key signatures, sloppy timing) is poor Less common reasons include (bolded if applicable to this submission): extensive direct sampling of the original game music audio extensive incorporation of non-game music or lyrics (e.g. mainstream, classical, etc.) arranging music that was not originally created for a video game the arrangement bears little resemblance to the original game music creating a track out of sound effects creating an entirely original track that in no way arranges game music Therefore, I decided to revamp it somewhat, mainly following the feedback, along with some suggestions from my brother. The remix ended up being renamed "Stasis Failure" in the process of doing so. Its current incarnation can be found at http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=890, and the original Gene Gadget themes can be found at http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/947/14 and http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/947/15; both were used in the production of the remix.. Again, it's still a work-in-progress, so odds are that it'll have a zillion problems left to iron out. I think I've fixed the kick, but I'm not sure how well I've remedied the other problems yet, so critique away - I'm going to need all the help I can get! foxhead128

So, I've been working on a new remix lately. This is the first piece that I'm actually recording the notes played live via a midi keyboard. I hope to get this good enough to get on OCReInterpretation, so I appreciate and feedback you guys have for it. This is the very very first export so there will be much more. UPDATED VERSION: http://www.box.net/shared/1970p47a0s

The song sounds like a song that would be played at the conclusion of a movie or game, which is why I named it "Until We Meet Again" http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9570681 Its kinda in the "almost done" phase. I hope to add a more intriguing Bass Clef and a few more harmonies. Whatcha think?

here is my original WIP: here is what I need help on: how do I sync up the top and bottom hands? is there a way to do it on the computer(i.e. snap to measure)?

Hi. This is a revamped version of a remix I did a while ago and posted here. I like this version better. I think it fits the overall mystique and atmosphere of the game and original track (Pandemonium). Here it is: Original piece: Thanks.

OK, so here is another remix that I might revive and work on. This is more or less just the intro, but trust me, there is a pretty kick ass arp that will be incorporated in there once I decide to finish it. I think I actually wrote the arp first. Anyhow, share your thoughts! EDIT: Now v2:

Hey! I'm Dangerouge, I'm working on my first remix and actually the first trance piece ever, and I'd like to hear some feedback. This may also become the first complete musical piece I've ever finished... Not that I haven't written loads of songs and made some demos and lots of recording, but never actually released anything for real. So, here it is, genre is, as I mentioned, trance of which I've become quite excited about this week, so I decided to make my first remix a trance piece. Like I said, it's my first remix and trance piece so be nice. The latest version of the remix can be downloaded from http://niiden.com/transdaerith/v0.2.mp3 The previous version (0.1) is available from http://niiden.com/transdaerith/v0.1.mp3 Oh, and it's FFVII - Aeris' Theme if someone didn't realize that, you can probably find that on youtube if you haven't heard, in which case you should educate yourself anyway. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q85KIhPXrIQ

Remix Title: Modairnizing (Modernizing with 'Air') Original Song Link: Remix Link: http://tindeck.com/listen/mrwk Remix was Requested by AJ-enova here: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18881 Ok, so I'm working on a Retro Dance Remix from the Airship theme (FFXI). I dislike to post WIP's that are quite short, so you're all getting a full length WIP! What I'm looking for is feedback and critics. Hopefully people will also like some parts, but basically I wanna know if the flow works and nothing falls behind. 1:23-1:37 is a little part I'm not satisfied about yet. I know it's not OCR worthy, I'm not aiming for that. Tips about quality etc are welcome, but keep the previous in mind please! Enjoy! -edit: Updated to a kinda Final Version. Still gonna fix some stuff but the arrangement is mostly done. Download here http://tindeck.com/listen/mrwk

Hey guys! So I wanted to do a remix of a song not yet posted on this site, and I decided to do the Password Entry music from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. As of now, the name of my song is The Secret of the Beans. A quirky name, if anything. So far, it's not really more than what the actual song is. Right now I'm just laying down the basics. More variation and original work to come in later. Please do keep in mind that this is a work in progress and there's still a LOT I want to do with this. Anyways, leave criticism, comments, feedback, something you think I should add, etc. I want all the help I can get with this. Oh, and don't worry about trying to be nice. If you think something sucks, let me know. Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx56HzrNLVI Here's my remix (WIP V1):

First song I made in a while, trying to get my creative spirit back, by doing so I tried to make a country song, but came out sounding like a old blues/rock sound (it feels like it can fit in a theme for a game or commercial). The only thing I know that needs to be changed is the piano solo. your input will be helpful. Dusty Train (2:55) ---------- Another Tune I'm working on that i have neglected for awhile, check it out Amble on Thin Ice (3:11)

http://tindeck.com/listen/euld lyrics are fairly cryptic, sorry any and all comments welcome and appreciated!

Here's a tune from the third generation which many people like. It's a very laid back and calm remix, witha great long piano solo, as many people have been requesting Tell me what you think! Link to ReMix: http://www.archive.org/details/PokmonRseAbandonedSipRemix Link to Sounce:

Hi! This is an arrangement of ff10’s Twilight in Piano. I really love the original music of Junya NAKANO, atmospheric, and very murky! Source : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7zqbhUl3H8&feature=search Mix : In the introduction and at the ending, I use a little the principle of arpeggios of “The Deceased Laugh” by Nobuo UEMATSU. In this piece, I tried to keep the sinister atmosphere of the original track. Sorry about the prod, I recorded this by my poor way . I used an analogic cordon wich I plugged on my PC, hence the blower. When the arrangement will be finished, I’ll record this with a real acoustic piano. Some parts are also too difficult to me; but, idem, with a real piano I think I’ll manage more to play it. Any feedbacks, good or bad, are welcome! Hope you enjoy... Thanks

Hello again. Yes, I'm already starting another remix. I'm feeling rather prolific lately (with music in general). The source this time is Rusty Ruin zone from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of Sonic 3D Blast. Check out the source here: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_3D:_Flickies'_Island_OSV_(Mega_Drive/Genesis) So I've just got a base groove set up here, not a lot of structure yet. My goal is a very funky sound, but sort of '80s-filtered. I'm not quite sure yet where the song is going to go. At a minute into the first act variant there's a breakdown in the song that's definitely going to be part of the structure. I really love the part that comes in at 1:16. I think a key change toward the end will sound pretty good, as well. So here's the WIP. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2466844/Rusty%20Ruin.mp3

New WIP. I am not going to say anything else. this is for the Donkey Kong Country 3 track "chase". That's all I'm going to say, I'm strapped for time.

Hiya. Im pretty much totally new to the remixing thing, but have decided to give it a try, after finding this site, and the loads of awesome music. Well, not much else to say. I appreciate any and all criticism, helps me grow, y'know.

http://www.tindeck.com/listen/bplk - Got a LOT of work yet to do. I'm pretty happy with the build-up, so unless I get some more ideas for it it's finished. However, I have JUST started the melody after that, and will get working on it again tomorrow. Learning lots of techniques from listening to other trance tunes on YT, such as what I call a "tone sweeper" which you hear in the buildup. Enjoy, so far, heh

Here's my take so far on Koji Kondo's 24-year-old invincibility theme: Undefeatable-Mood-Demo-5.mp3 The version I used for inspiration is mostly SMW2: Yoshi's Island - Powerful Infant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wbX3lqbcfE I also took a few ideas from a new opening added in Super Paper Mario - An Unrivaled Battle: Let me know what you think. Thanks!
