Hey guys! Here's my most recent arrangement of the Viridian Forest theme from Pokemon Red and Blue. I took quite a lot of liberties with this track and I'm curious to see what you think. Here's a link to the origional: Remix:

Hello - I've recently re-watched Attack on Titan in preparation for the second season, whenever it's coming out, and I've been really wanting to take some of those elements used throughout the soundtrack and apply to my own works, since there's so much power there. I've also been thinking about applying it to a Remix, to get a better feel on writing music, to work on arranging, to work on production/mixing/mastering, and to simply get the creative juices flowing. Finally, I decided on taking the Undersea Palace and Lavos themes and create an Attack on Titan-inspired Remix https://soundcloud.com/user-913553678/attack-on-mammon-wip-chrono-trigger-undersea-palace-lavos Of course, it's in the WiP stage at the moment, and I'm having one major difficulty: the arrangement is just too conservative for me at the moment, and while I would have some more wiggle room in transitioning to the theme of Lavos, I haven't gotten there yet, and I believe I should expand on the Undersea Palace theme somehow, but I'm not quite sure how to approach it. If you have any thoughts in that regards, or anything else in general, please let me know. Thank you for listening!

Hey guys! So I took the Star Fox theme from the "Star Fox Zero | Introducing Star Fox" trailer, and completely re-orchestrated it! So now you can listen to it without sound effects (haha)! I absolutely love this version of the piece, and did my best to recreate every nuance, listening carefully to uncover everything (hard to do with all of the sound effects in the trailer!) I hope you enjoy it! Original video:

Made this because I felt bad for the guy who's been requesting a Drakkhen remix on the request forum for 6 years with no takers. Wasn't going to post it here initially but I think it may be decent enough to do so. Source material below:

Aside from 2 Remix WIPS, I have two Original Tracks uploaded to Soundcloud for all to enjoy! Let me know what you all think. I'm still working on the details to mixing with Cubase, but I feel like these are coming along nicely.

Hey guys, this is my most recent arrangement that I have just uploaded of 'Mall Rat' from the original 'The Sims', released in February 2000. This is my favourite of the tracks from the game and it was a treat to work with. I hope you enjoy and any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

This is an original piece I did for a friend of mine who goes by the name "Munnbun". In case you guys were curious, that is his art. Glorious, ain't it? Her name is Sarah, and this is the first version of her theme. I'll be making more themes for his characters in the future. You can check out his page and his art here:www.facebook.com/Munnbun/ Hope you guys enjoy! Copyright © 2015 by Saitoshi All rights reserved.

Can't go wrong with more Undertale right?

Hello. I have gotten really interested on producing both orchestral and rather melodic dubstep/drumstep styles lately and have tried to fit them them all into single tracks, and i was wondering are there people here interested on same category? I would be interested on hearing of such productions and discussing about them in general What about just producing only orchestral and or only melodic dubstep or drumstep? I was suggested to come visit here from DSF ninja community in hopes of advice for building full on orchestral music, well i have in fact already tried to compose some full orchestral pieces already on my own, but my compositions have been rather short so far so i have mostly only made them as intros on my tracks with virtual instruments mostly from Native Instruments and then just started making beats and sound designs after that with an faster tempo, here is my latest example: So any opinions or advice on that? I got already one useful advice on which i totally agreed: the part on around 1:50 in the track, on which i stop the orchestral intro and started making the verse and chorus, i first lower the tempo even lower down from 110bpm for few seconds and then lift it up to around 160bpm so i can make faster almost drumstep style track, but that precise part does sound kind of.. off, because the super saw sound design sounds weird while speeding up.. so should i make the part on which i change the tempo totally quiet and/or at least faster or with different sounds.. or should i just try to make full orchestral tracks as in keeping the 'intro' of my tracks out and making dubstep and drumstep and orchestral separate, trying to fit too much into single tracks can be kind of.. weird.. what do you think? Well then again on my own opinion, i like to try to fit lot's of stuff into my productions because for example the orchestral intro does bring rather exciting feeling into the track but then when it changes into dubstep/drumstep, it does have some sort of other feeling which makes me enjoy making the production. What about mixing and mastering? I have sucked at it especially earlier on and have tried to practice it more alongside with sound design and build practice and am not super familiar with chords either in general how they actually work, so far i've mostly just tried playing them on my midi keyboard or adjusting them otherwise in piano roll which would sound about right. My choice of DAW is Fl Studio 12 which seems to be my kind of workstation in all other parts except it being really hard on my CPU (annoying lag sometimes when there is lot's of stuff happening at the same time and CPU peaks at 100% usage) so don't know if any other would be better on that part but not in the set of mind on changing daw as FLS has best workflow for me at least and am familiar with it so i am trying to only get my productions sound better to people in general and i think that changing daw ain't the solution for that

Hey there! Nice to meet you all, my name's Alex, long time lurker actually. I've stumbled upon OCReMix when I discovered the Voices of the Lifestream album. It was then, inspired by such amazing work by so many talented people, that I decided I too wanted to start producing and composing music, even though I didn't have any background in music, it seemed like a good moment to start. Almost three years in, I've grown confident enough to submit something here with serious intentions. The track is an orchestral arrangement I made of a Final Fantasy VII track, "On That Day, 5 Years Ago", which is one of my most favorite tracks ever from Nobuo Uematsu. I'm not sure if it's good enough though, as it's written in a genre that is quite outside of my comfort zone, I'm more an electronic/action sound design, but since I'd definitely love to become better with orchestras I tried to make it this way. Any feedback from both the mods and the fellow composers of the forum would be more than greatly appreciated! Thank you so much, Alex Links to the remix & to the original track: Remix - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2tJmHuW7Z8 Original Track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEZNywlt_gM

Hello OC Remix! Back in 2002 I wrote a nine minute classical piece using Noteworthy Composer to coincide with a fiction I was writing. Noteworthy Composer is known as strictly a notation software but would be able to play songs written in it through basic MIDI (e.g. Microsoft Wavetable Synth); thus, the song was written but not produced. After many years of not working on music, I recently bought some music production equipment and FL Studio. I have written a few remixes and original pieces but they have not been up to par with the quality of most remixes on OC Remix. However, I decided to finally produce this orchestral piece. The result is awesome! I also recorded my own clarinet playing. Please take a listen and let me know what you think. Following is the link to Sound Cloud: https://soundcloud.com/tonal_bliss/remorse-nothing-more-chapters-1-4 I am hoping to further improve my classical/orchestral producing and writing abilities in the near future. I am planning on doing a orchestral remix/arrangement of a video game theme. I'd love to submit that to OC Remix when I'm done. Thank you for your time.

Undertale is pretty cool and I like RPG battle music. Original: Feedback is appreciated. Thank you for listening!

Anyways, the opening song of Undertale is beautiful, and I wanted to make a remix. I completely changed the chords of the first part, and the melody of the middle bit. There's a lot more instruments doing stuff in general. It also ends with a hint of "Your Best Friend" Original: https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/once-upon-a-time-2 Remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YP3jAa70qY

Hi. I tried to make something with the Moon Theme of Ducktale (Nes). This theme was remixed a lot of time so I tried something new. It's an orchestral version with some Pachelbel pattern in the third part of the track. Let me knom if you like it. Enjoy Original :

After spending about 10 years with Garage Band, someone gave me Reason Essentials last year and I was very excited to try it out. But most of the things I like to write are orchestral or at least have an orchestral backbone and Reason was not very good for that (just trying to find a place to buy the Miroslav Refill was overly difficult). So I'm looking to start fresh with a new DAW that will fit my needs better. Since I use a MacBook Pro and have experience with Garage Band, I'm leaning towards Logic Pro. I hear it's orchestral stuff is pretty good and the $200 price point doesn't hurt. But I wanted to get some opinions from the community here first. Is Logic Pro good for orchestral writing or should I check out something else?

So this is a piece I've written for a game I'm currently scoring for. I decided to title it 'New Horizons' in honour of the recent mission to Pluto, which also ties into one of the game's themes, Space. https://soundcloud.com/john-ferrie-2/new-horizons I hope you enjoy, and any critique is greatly appreciated!

Got some inspiration while listening to skyrim and various other orchestral music. So I decided to record my vocals and guitar over some orchestral instruments. https://soundcloud.com/atiomusic/servitude

Hi there! I would love feedback on my cover of the ending theme from Super Metroid. The 17 second or so intro in the source is on my to-do list. Any and all suggestions are welcome. How realistic does it sound? Anything I can do to improve the realism? Thanks!

Something that I have felt and said for a long time now, is that a musician's music is essentially an audio snapshot of his/her emotion at the time of it's creation. This piece "Epitomizes" that ideal if you will (for me at least). I had been scouring the corners of my mind for quite some time for some reason to a situation that I had faced prior to make this piece. I vented out my frustration on the guitar one night and then I hit the "ah-ha" moment to my demons that had been tormenting me, thus the name "Epiphany". Pretty much sums up what that moment felt like in my soul at the time. http://tindeck.com/listen/ojdsb

Hello everyone! I decided to make an account here so that I could really get serious about improving my remixes, so I'm starting off by posting a recent orchestration I did of the surfing theme from pokemon ruby/sapphire. Mainly, I'm looking for feedback about the quality of sound. I'm still not very good at making unique arrangements, but I've been trying to work on it. I think I could use work on things like mastering/dynamics and such, but tips on anything would be appreciated! Here's a link to the newest version of the remix: http://tindeck.com/listen/xfank ..and here's a link to the source in case you haven't heard it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMumv8yML-Q

Hi there! I'm new in this forum ! I was playing and creating some DOOM level with a friend, and then I had an idea, create a song using DOOM's sounds! So I made it, and I just finished it! I called it "Baron of Hell (Tribute to DOOM)", a mix between dubstep, orchestral and rock styles, I tried to create melodies which remind the overall atmosphere of this incredible game! I hope you'll like it! I've just submitted my track for the Judge Pannel. Best regards from France! https://soundcloud.com/thegadget/baron-of-hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9LSJtgm9aU
