Well, this was turned down on the Judges Board, but they want me to resubmit with some changes. So now I'm in the process of going back over this to fix it up and hopefully get it to pass in Round 2. This is update #1 of the Resubbed version. So far, it's just the beginning half of the remix. There wasn't much that they wanted me to change, instrumentation-wise, but this remix is probably over a year old by now and I've acquired better sound libraries, so I'm trying to use those in this. So far, it feels a little rocky to me. I'm not sure that I want to re-add the delay setting I had on the Piano and I'm really trying to get away from the stock drum-loop I used, hence why that was changed to FPC drums. Either way, the Piano feels the same, as in mechanical (or at least to me anyways), but I'm not quite sure how to remove that from the equation. The Pad in the background is still the same, though it bores me, so I'm looking to replace it with something that fills the space better. Um, I removed the synth bass and added in a more realish souning bass (Scarbee, if anyone knows it)...and that's really about all I've done with it. Between the issues I've stated, I'm also trying to figure out a better way to transition to the latter part of the remix, probably add in a different drum sequence there as well so it doesn't get boring, like in the first version. But yeah, give this a listen (older versions are below) and let me know what you think so far. I'll probably have another update tomorrow at some point. (Link to Judge stuff HERE) -----------------------OLDER VERSIONS---------------------------- Click here to download RE2 SafeMix.mp3 Yeah, I'm bad with naming remixes. But whatevs, I'm a little stuck on where I should take this. I kinda want to get more electronic or trance-y with this, but the current feel I have for it feels...well, pretty good. Maybe I ought to branch off and do some original composition, then have a big lead up to a tranced version of the theme? I just don't know right now... --------------- Semi-finished remix. Let me know what you guys think and enjoy! ----------- Update#1: Changed a few things. I haven't added any original sections just yet, or messed around with the background stuff (Sorry Spoon), though I did add a couple of Pippi's ideas with the percussion at the intro 'n such. I also left out a few things towards the end, such as the Triplet Synth that played. I still don't know that I like that enough to keep it in. I'm feelin' like somethin' stronger should be in-place of it, so we'll see how that one turns out. So basically, still just a shell until I add in some original sections and a big, strong finish. ----------- Update#2: Well, I didn't get to do what I really wanted with this. Couldn't really come up with any original sections to add in or anything. So, the best bet for me was to keep it simple and chill. As is, I think it works for what I originally wanted, minus a big trance-y section. Let me know what you guys think! ----------- Update#3: Not a very big update, but I added in some sweet string swells for the second part of the track. When I was rendering this, I forgot to unmute a NES synth I had playing. Also, I realize the low-end of the song gets a little distorted towards the end, but I've already fixed that. I would've rendered the better version, but it takes forever on this computer. Another note, I realize the swells are a little overpowering, but not to fear, I already fixed that as well. Also, I really would like to add a stutter effect to the strings. Nothing that would overtake the strings, just as a little something for when they're building and dying. Sort of like just playing between which times they happen. I use FL, but I'm not exactly sure on how to pull that off. If any one knows how or can direct to me to something that can help me, please let me know.

Bringing this back from the dead for an updated version. After I submitted the original a while back I made some progress on the song before leaving it untouched for months. This version is a half a year old but before I go back into it I would like some feedback as to whether I should continue on with this one or just start all over. Thanks! Everything below this is from the original post on November 24, 2009. ----------------------------------------------------- Just looking to get a little feedback on my version of Not Tomorrow 1 from Silent Hill. Here is the link. Thanks!

Music source: Remix link: http://ocrwip.fireslash.net/?fid=512 I've been working on this remix for a while now. I would like get some feedback on the arrangement. Right now the instruments are all midi, but that will change in the future.

Hi! I'm working on a remix to an old song. I'm about three hours in and I'd like to know what you think of it. I try my best to mix lots of genres and make it sound like something people aren't accustomed to hearing. If you have any suggestions or critiques, please let me know! http://www.mediafire.com/?ynxhywx3thw Also, it doesn't have a name yet. If you have suggestions for that I'll gladly accept them as well Thanks! Kruai Edit: Whoops, noticed the random cutoff at the end. Pretend there's a fade there >.>

I bumped this thread rather than make a new once since I am working on the same song. Main source Mini-sources http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgrC1CFOJKg&feature=related Update as of Dec.11/2011 -I junked the synths and the cabasa and replaced them with orchestral instrument samples. -I used drums that sounded a bit more epic. -Rather than layering bells, I have like two different types of bells in total. -Made some minor changes to the arrangement. Still some mixing issues I need to work on (I did this on headphones), but this one sounds closer to how I had originally envisioned it. Has a bit more "power" to it you could say. Feedback is appreciated. Update as of Sept.9 My submission got rejected. The issues were -It was too sparse (some of it due to instrument levels and writing) -The beat lacked power. -Lack of bass to fill the low-end. -It was too simple (not a lot going on a most times). -Rigid drum sequencing. So on this 9th WIP is an attempt to fix those issues. I also trimmed off a minute to reduce the fat and remastered it. Feedback is welcome.

Ok i slapped this one together in couple of days before school started. I know this is far beyond being complete but i just wanted to get some feedback on how to improve my song or what can be added to make it better bc im fairly new to remixing and using Fruity Loops. I know i need to add the rest of the song and fix it up (like adding FX and stuff) but this is how far i got with my busy schedule... I know you may be thinking why do Corridor of Time. It was kinda stuck in my head and it is a pretty simple song to translate from music sheet to the piano roll lol. I appreciate your time in listening to my music and providing help in making it better .

http://www.sendspace.com/file/91p9w0 <- linksies This is my first attempt at an OCRemix in over a year, and I really have absolutely nothing to say elsewise. It's a mix of On to Grasstown from Cave Story, and it's a bit rough now, but I want feedback anyway. Fire away.

So I was finishing up that oldie for Manoria Cathedral and had a nice ambient pattern sitting somewhere on Pattern 69 *heh* for a long time. I decided to play with it using very similar samples to the original project file so here's what came up. I also loooove sine waves. It's quite similar in sound, but I think it has a different feel. drums cut in a little suddenly for me, and it's a repetitive on the harmonic side of things right now - any ideas for progressions? surprises? For some reason I really want to put barely audible delayed whispering into this @.@ Anyway thinking out loud now, hopefully you dig! I'll try to include the melody more in future updates LINK: Glaciers Never Sleep (Phendrana Drifts ReMix)

Here's an arrangement of the ' ' from Rockman & Forte (also known as Megaman & Bass).It's an orchestral piece with some electronica elements, meant to be an overture, a prelude to a new journey. Latest update: New Beginning New Path v9 Suggestions and constructive criticism are most welcome. -------------------------------- Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and showed support so far. I've come a long way and learned a lot in the process. There's still work to be done before I can sub this arrangement, but I just wanted to say: you guys rock!

Hello, over the months I've began remixing the OST of Megaman & Bass. This old school gem has next to no remixes available at the time. So I brought it upon my self to do this task. I have 2 tracks done as of now, I am working on a third as well. Anyway I made this topic for critique and comments. Here are the first two songs. Groundman's Chill Drill- http://club-syndicate.net/kamekaze/groundmanremixV2.zip Coldman's Frosty Rave, ft. Jewelman- http://club-syndicate.net/kamekaze/Coldman.zip

I made this over the afternoon today Just felt like making something easy i dunno it is a little loud i guess opinions, critiques? please post Oh yeah here is the original theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTFHhpZl3Uk

Hello my name is Michael but I'm known as Geeky Stoner on the Internet.I'm new to the OCremix community but I've been coming to the site for while now. Fist off Ive only been messing around with the fruity loops demo for a couple months now so i don't fully grasp the program yet.I hope the mix doesn't come off too repetitive I tried some effects and filters and a little rearranging to break up the monotony but over all it doesn't stray too far from the source material.So gimme some input please on what you think of this remix and whether its up to OCremix standards. Edit took this version down Panders critique is really spot on how this version sounded.

edit: i'm not going to finish this project. just contact me if you want the files that i've finished (six in total). i want to remix an entire ost, by myself. i need a big project for this summer/fall/winter/year. after a few days of voting, tetrisphere wins it by one vote.
