By the way, yes, if I ever submit this, I will replace the cheesy piano soundfont with a real recording. Remix V1 Just a rough cut of a little over a minute. Source music: Peaceful Days, Chrono Trigger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uODZVIkuqlI

Hi there, New to OCRemix site, I just stumbled upon it after reading about Jimmy Hinson and his work on Mass Effect 2. Anyways, my buddy was asking for some ambient music to make for him and we while going through a brainstorming session with him I produced these tracks-- I was inspired by the wonderful Mass Effect 2 soundtrack while making them. Some things to note: -- I've been screwing around with FL Studio since 2002 along with Cubase and live instruments, but never really got into composing real electonic music well. -- It is REALLY hard to get a good VST of a solo trombone or brass sound that doesn't come off sounding cheesy -- Edirol Orchestra is fun to play with their strings, I've dunno how I've been getting by using Sytrus and its basic violin ensemble presets. -- Forums like on Futureproducers and Ultimate-Guitar.com are really bad when asking for help....The communities are not that great for bouncing questions on composing music/structuring music/technical assistance in FL Studio... Hoping for find a thriving community of songwriters and composers here! -- I would LOVE to become a Soundtrack composer-- that being said, I would love to learn more about the techniques used to create the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack-- like how to incorporate drums & better in a orchestral mix and using automation and effects and EQing to get a better sound.

Still working on April Rain from a year ago. It's a sonic remix in the usual cynic project style. Hope there's enough green hill zone in this mix Any feedback is appreciated! http://tcpmusic.com/music/GHZ_mix3.mp3 Alex / The Cynic Project old sonic remixes here http://sonic.tcpmusic.com/

http://tindeck.com/listen/dirm So, this is the product of about 3 minutes of work (1 spent EQing and 2 spent recording) but I thought despite the amount of time I put into it, I thought it was worth sharing It was all played live on my keyboard (yeah, sampled guitar FTL) without any editing or quantization. Any adherence to actual music theory guidelines is entirely coincidental because I don't know any theory, but ehh Hopefully you all enjoy this. It's the first thing I've ever recorded in my life that I think is good enough to share publicly (keep in mind that I first started playing an instrument only a year and some change ago, so I'm still really new at this.)

Alright, i wrote this song after Total Disaster, but i still need to work on the drums more. The arrangement is mostly finished. Although i'm thinking of adding a lead of some kind to the "verse" section. I say that cause its the part where its just the fast drums and guitars playing the 16th notes. I think some kind of keyboard/synth solo would be cool but i think i wanna do a collab for that cause after a while my keyboard solos all sound the same,

An incomplete version of Nuts And Bolts. CHA0S Room enjoy, or not, if you wish.

Very much still a work in progress, but i'd like to hear what people think of it so far. www.soundcloud.com/anti-syne Thanks Anti-Syne

That may not be the title of the piece, and I may change it constantly in the coming days. But anyway, here it is.Stilt attitude. Please scream in rage and horror at the terrible form it has taken so far. Or, if you wish, you can alternatively comment (unbiased - or biased, if you wish) so I can improve it based on how you respond. Basically, listen and comment.

This track started off as a straightforward arrangement of the Special Zone theme from Sonic the Hedgehog, but eventually morphed into a cover of analoq's "sonik special".

Here's my metal version of the dungeon theme from Legend of Zelda from the NES. I know its been done a FEW times before, but i'm hoping my version gives a fresh look at it. Its only 1:31 long right now cause i'm really not sure where to with it from here, but i'm hoping you guys have a suggestion. I think i've got the orchestration pretty well separated and the guitars pretty well mixed in. I did a version a couple years ago of this theme, but i really like the theme and wanted to take a better stab at it. Thanks guys.

This is pretty much an electric guitar arrangement of Megaman Zero 2's ed song (which i'll link here for reference ).I'd like to receive constructive feedback regarding pretty much every aspect such as intrumentality, playing, tone, mix, general feel of the song,etc, in a way this is finished, but i'm looking into ways to improve it.

In response to this thread, I've been making a ReMix of Brick By Brick from LEGO Island. The chorus vocals were synthesised using the "say" program on an old Amiga Anyway, here it is: Break By Break [re-upped 22/06/2010] (Source: )Comments and criticism much appreciated!

Would be nice with feedback on mastering and melody. A slightly funky, but mostly cheesy synth-tune. I'm having a hard time choosing good leads. I always go for pretty standard saw-leads. .mp3 Suggestions for a name?

This is my first every game remix. This is a remix of the stage one music of Bomberman 2 for the NES. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me about this mix. Source: - 25 seconds into that videoFor reference, here is a slightly older version of the song

I'm working on a remix on the Dire Dire Docks song from Super Mario 64. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! Song link: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8988504

I was not sure where to put this because I use a clip from Lego Island, but nothing else from games. This is my first song, so I would like any constructive criticism on what I could do to improve the song or my ability to make music. Thanks.

http://www.tindeck.com/listen/lrsz After zircon made the observation about Lava Reef Zone/Exposé, it had to happen some time.

http://tindeck.com/listen/uwhn Some nasty fuzz/distortion there, coming from the rhythm guitars specifically. Not sure what exactly is causing it. No sign of it when I'm using my external soundcard, so maybe it's just my laptop's fault. Newest version: http://tindeck.com/listen/lpgb

Something in a bit of a softer style than i've done before, so i'd like to hear if you lot think i can pull it off, or give up on it. it should be the second one down on www.soundcloud.com/anti-syne And yes i think this is my 3rd FF8 mix posted in 2 weeks...

This is a remix I have been working on for a little bit. I was just wanting a couple different opinions on it. I made this song without ever listening to the original just stumbled upon the melody in a midi one time. thanks

Here's a remix that I did a long time ago. Flying Battery from Sonic 3. I wanted to upload this here because this was my first remix in wich I edited the arrangement and composition of the song. Link: http://soundcloud.com/thecoolguy2010/flying-battery-remix-wip

Newest Version(v3): http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=741 I changed the backbeat into proper key and made it quieter, as well as making a few minor timing adjustments, also changed ending synth into something more like original game audio, not that messed up sounding thing before. Not much of a change, but it sounds better(although still could be better in my opinion). Please leave feedback. New revision: http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=736 By the way, I want to know if this seems like a good length for this song and if I should add anything else and if so what as I really don't know what else to add, and I need to swing the piano a little more as it isn't noticeable at all, but aside from that I feel that this is essentially done. The old post is underneath so you can still hear original, ignore text aside from the Name section as I need one. although I may call it the "Attitudes of a Golden town," does this seem like a good name? I also think I need to make the guitar drop out more naturally as opposed to this abruptness. I may not use the vibes, they don't seem to fit in with everything else, which stinks because I wanted to use them. Does the Backbeat(the short repetitive synth'ed rythym) fit, or do I need a different one(cause now it kind of seems like a replacement theme for lavender town)? and is said backbeat loud enough? I apologize about all these questions but I really need feedback, and do I need a louder sax, or a lighter(acoustic maybe) guitar? And with the almost done listed in original post, I was talking about the actual general song, not the other additions. http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=733 I am not done yet as I still need to add a Drum beat(unless you people like it the way it is now and feel the drum would ruin the song). I also feel i need to make the song a little longer. I am also lacking a name for my song, If anyone has a good idea please pass it out. I feel that this has come far enough to upload this now and get some feedback on this. So, tell me what you think. And also, how long should I make this now that I have it mostly done? Sorry, the image link thing died so now I just have a link.

Hey not sure how to get my mp3 up here? Help?

So this was one of my originals. i like most of it cuz its pretty solid. obviously, the piano solo part inst completely final, as no background is there most of the time. and, btw, i know there will be a lot of comments on the sax volume (you'll know where) but i did it on purpose to make it very pronounced and predominant. anyways, please comment and enjoy LINK:
